Castle of Vice – Development Diary #14 (New Ice Class)

Hello everyone, I hope you’re having a nice Saturday.

The next update of the game (alpha 0.08) will introduce a new class called Herald of the Frozen Comet, based on the Ice Magic upgrades. This means the remaining two upgrade levels for the Ice Magic will also be added.

Two new ice items and four new ice spells will be available for upgrade levels 3 and 4. However, that’s not all for the Ice class; there will also be changes to some of the existing ice spells, similar to the reworks I did for the Fire Magic before adding its class.

I’m still adjusting and testing the spells to make sure they feel right, but the goal is to reduce the setup required to enhance ice spells and make fights feel more balanced. Because of this, I won’t go into detail about the exact changes yet, as things may still change during testing.

That’s all for this post. I plan to share another update later this month, where I’ll talk about the other content I want to include in Alpha 0.08, so please look forward to it.

Thanks for reading, and enjoy your weekend!
