Hmm. We’ll think about it.

Hi! Could you send a screenshot of your current active quests?

Yes, I was able to replicate this. Unfortunately, in this case, you’ll need to exit and re-enter the journey. For some reason, during generation, there sometimes aren’t enough tiles to place the "portals." I’m currently looking into this issue.

Hi! Most likely, you completed the first episode with Rose when the Memory Abyss scene was broken. You can continue playing your current save, or you can use the "New Game+" button in game menu after load game save, which will preserve all the resources you’ve spent and start a new game. This way, you’ll be able to complete all the quests much faster. Currently, "inner conflict points" are needed to choose a character’s ending, and I don’t think a difference of 2-3 missing points will significantly change the outcome. On the other hand, many dialogues and quests might have changed since the last time you played.

Hi! Thanks for letting me know! I’ve been told about a similar bug before, but no one could figure out exactly what caused it. It happened due to a loop with "reflected damage," where the buff triggered on damage caused by the buff. I’ll definitely fix this in the next update.

Are you talking about the web version? Unfortunately, I'm not sure what could be causing this. Try using a different browser, or download the free version, as the web version is just a demo and only includes the very beginning of the game.

Thank you for your feedback! 

- I'll look into why the question button stopped triggering the tutorial. 

- Did the portals in Forest Thicket only disappear once? Was everything else fine? I can't seem to replicate this issue.

The part about holding the map to get details about effects is actually covered in one of the tutorials. Regarding boss items—they have descriptions that mention they are needed for a quest, but I'll think about how to highlight this separately, perhaps with a colored border.

The scene is similar to the one with the elf. You can choose the "settings" for the scene before starting it.

Hey! Thank you! We're really happy to hear that. We update the game based on feedback from our players, and it's great to know that we're on the right track.

When will the next update be available for subscribers? I think it will be closer to the end of this month or at the beginning of the next one.

Yes :) our artist put a lot of effort into this art.

At the moment, you can support the developer (us) by purchasing it. However, it will become public after some time when a new update is released. That is, the public version usually lags behind the paid version by 1-2 updates.

no

Lilian should be at the tavern in the evening. Tom works there during the day, and she takes over in the evening.

Our artist has been eager to record ambient sounds for a long time now. We've thought about it, and this item is on our "to-do" list.

Unfortunately, due to internet issues, we couldn’t publish the version yesterday. Now, it will only appear on Itch next Thursday. We also have "release windows" that we need to follow. Well, at least we’ll have more time to test it thoroughly :)

Yes, we made version 0.3.5 public, but we encountered internet issues, which prevented us from uploading the new version—the upload speed is extremely slow. The problem persists, and the optimal release window has already passed. It seems the release on Itch will now be pushed to next Thursday. Well, at least we’ll have more time to test it thoroughly :)

Our game has a gallery. The button "Pensieve" is in the main menu.

Hi! Magic Dust is a resource that is obtained in the Journey mode (a special button with a portal on the top left). All items you bring back from it are converted into a certain amount of Magic Dust.

Yes, the release on itch happens simultaneously with the release of the version for Master tier subscribers.
I think it will happen in a week or two - we still need to finish the scene with the new boss, choose VFX and SFX, and finish some art.

Perhaps it was an automatic system failure. We apologize.

Tras su construcción, su botón aparecerá en el mapa de la Academia, en la parte inferior izquierda. Es una escena que se abre si, en el mapa global, pulsas el botón de la Mansión.

I don't know. The reason given was "hacked account". Perhaps you posted some suspicious link?

Keep completing other tasks. Over time, you will have new Journeys.

Have you tried switching the display mode in the settings? If that doesn't help, try pressing Alt+Enter.

The next update will be more related to Victoria. But we are planning to expand content with other characters as well.

Hmm. I found a banned account with a similar nickname and the reason "Suspicious or spam account" in the ban list. Please try logging in again.

Unfortunately, this is a game convention that we have to accept. We tried several other formats of game mechanics, but they turned out to be not balanced or interesting enough.

Therefore, we will take a step back and take a working and time-tested battle mechanic.

We also considered all other mechanics, including turning the game into a kind of "Heroes of Might and Magic", but then it would affect the main story gameplay even more.

As a result, it was decided to focus on a proven scheme - a roguelike as a "core" gameplay and story progression in the "meta".

That's sad. We'll consider integrating cloud saves.

The latest version of the game that you can download for free from this site is 0.3.2.

And no additional actions are required to transfer saves - they are stored in the AppData folder and should be found by any version of the game after 0.2 automatically.

Hi! Thank you for your feedback. Yes, we are currently working on improving Journey mode - you can read more about it in the latest dev diary. 

Regarding crashes - we have heard about this a few times, but no error logs have been sent to us yet. Because of this, we have no way to understand the problem.

After the next crash, if you have the opportunity, please send us the log file on Discord.It's located in C:\Users[USER_NAME]\AppData\LocalLow\Wild Pear\Magic Academy and named Player.log and Player-prev.log.

Very strange. I was able to connect fine from my other account using this link.
I just updated it - please try again.

Are you sure you are going on the right Journey? There are several options, and a small chibi smiley on their cards shows which boss can be encountered there and whether it's possible at all.

As an experiment, this week I plan to release test changes to this mode for some subscription levels.

I want to convert the system into a card roguelike, increase the map size, give out new cards for battles and some objects on the map, add special "healing" buildings where you can restore health.

Leveling up outside of adventures will unlock new card options for dropping into adventures and improve some of the player's stats.

Let's see if this can change the current "boring" game cycle.

We are still thinking about what can be done with the current situation.

The main problem is the accumulating power of the player, which becomes ultimate over time, and we just have to change the numbers to challenge the player.

I'm sure the mode can be made more interesting, but I'm not sure what exactly should be done with it. In the background, I finished prototyping a new mode.

One of the options I'm keeping in mind is to make the current mode closer to roguelikes - change the spellbook to a "card roguelike" so that the player levels up and collects their deck within a single journey.

This will simplify the balancing task for me, reducing it to balancing within a single game run.

We are working hard on a new update, but alas, we cannot give specific dates yet.

Hi. Thanks for letting us know. However, I just checked the links – they still work. Which link did you use on which page? Can you show a screenshot?

Hi. Most likely, you won't be able to do this. We had the idea to implement cloud saves, but it's not a priority right now.
Saved files are stored on your devices in the ../storage/emulated/<userid>/Android/data/com.WildPear.MagicAcademy/files folder.
But I don't know if it's possible to access them without root privileges.

What device are you running it on?

I'm afraid you're just out of luck. Restart the adventure until it appears. When generating the world, apparently there are simply no empty cells left for it to appear.
We'll study the generation settings of this world.
