Magic Academy. About Update 0.6.6 (Emendatio)

Hello everyone! A month has passed, which means it’s time for a new update!

Our SFX designer has already started working on the game, and in this version you’ll be able to hear the first results of her work!

Update 0.6.6 (Emendatio) is entering alpha for the Professor tier, and in one week it will become available to the Magister tier.

What’s included in this update:

New Content

• Added the “Diversion” story branch and the Lightbringers quest chain.

• Added the finale of Lilian’s personal quest. The curse has never been this strong!

• Added a new location: “Lightbringers Camp”.

• Added new dialogue backgrounds for the forest and caves.

• Added a comic for the finale of Lilian’s quest.

• Added a CG scene with Lilian.

Journey

• Added a preset system for Journey preparation.

• You can now save deck and equipment loadouts, apply them later, duplicate them, rename them, and delete them.

• Added preset validation: the game now warns you if a loadout contains locked cards, unavailable equipment, an invalid code, or exceeds limits.

Sound

• Added new UI, foley, magic, clothing, and adult-content sounds.

• Updated the SFX playback system: regular effects, UI sounds, and voice/vocal sounds now use separate audio sources.
