Hello folks. Finally, after 2 years Mage Fort is ready for release!

Tomorrow May 10th Mage Fort will be available.

Many thanks to the folks who beta tested and provided feedback. I really appreciate it. I couldn't have gotten to this point without you. <3

And of course I'll continue to support this game post launch! :)

This update includes several bug fixes and some interface/control tweaks based on player feedback.

General
- The game will now stay visible if the player clicks off screen or alt tabs.
- Tutorial now includes better dialogs regarding mouse and keyboard controls

Balance:
- (Level 3) Waves of enemies decreased early on
- (Green) poison bolt explosion radius increased to 6m
- (Red) Blood beam rate of fire greatly increased (health drain decreased).

Mouse/Keyboard Controls Reference:

Attacks: 1, 2, 3, 4
Movement: Mouse 1 (Hold or Click to move)
Turning: Mouse 2
Interact: E, Enter
Dash: F, LShift
Exit/Cancel: Esc
Cannon Tilt/Turn: Arrow Keys, Q, R



Bug Fixes:
- Fixed an issue where some spells were incorrectly passing through walls/floors.
- Fixed a bug where lightning visuals would stop working but would still cause dmg.
- Fixed an issue where lightning spells would sometimes stop showing the lightning graphic (although dmg still was being dealt)
- Fixed an issue where the player would sometimes return to the lobby and not be able to interact with anything
- Returning to the Lobby while dead will no longer cause your mage to vanish and throw an exception.
- Survival mode duration was incorrectly set. Now lasts up to 12-15minutes (although it seems unlikely anyone will survive this long!)
- Gates can now be rebuilt on level 1 & 2
- Dash now works while stationary
- (Tutorial) Player should not be able to cause an error by destroying the wall during the wall building tutorial.
- (Level 1) Cat will now return home via the portal in Survival mode. Meow.


Multiplayer Fixes:
- Client spells that create a field (poison, regen, fire) no longer throw an exception
- Fixed an issue that prevented clients from quitting out of an active game properly
- Non Master-clients will now correctly sync level difficulty on Survival mode
- Cannon will correctly sync overheat/malfunction events to all clients
- Destroyed gates no longer throw an exception
- (Lobby) Mage class selection is now disabled a few moments before starting a level
