Description
Release date: Fall 2013
!!PLEASE KEEP IN MIND MAGIC MAKER IS STILL IN ALPHA!!

http://tastystewdios.blogspot.com/

Visit our website to try out the current version!


Magicmaker is an platformer-dungeon crawler where you create your own spells and adventure the way you want to!

As you adventure, you discover different materials that add unique effects to your spells and robes. Combine these effects to create all manner of spells. For instance, combining an Optic Lens (Laser) with a Fire Crystal (Fire) gives you a laser that lights enemies on fire. You can add a bunch of other stuff too, like Crystal Ball (Homing), Explosive Powder (AOE), and Rift Crystal (Teleport) to get crazy things like an exploding laser that seeks out enemies, lights them on fire, and teleports you around.

As the Security Guard of Dörwall Community College (The preeminent wizarding school of the Dörwall area) you must jump, shoot, and explore through five levels to assure the safety of your colleagues and to complete whatever random chores they assign you.

Thanks for model.exe because when i play it and press S game dont crash :D. Try to run again normal version and game crash :o

@Hikyn I've expanded Magicmaker's error reporting capabilities and will need you to run a new version of the executable.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/qd4gmg2c18pfzh0/model.exe

Please download this, place it in the same folder as Magicmaker.exe, run model.exe, and press 'S' to crash the game. In the folder, it will create a file called minidump.dmp which will help me figure why your game is crashing. Please email that file to tastystewdios AT gmail DOT com.

Before you do this, you might want to backup your savefiles found in the folder /saves/. It shouldn't overwrite your savefiles but it is a good idea to be careful!

Now run game as administrator and saves work. Keyboard. I have a wireless keyboard from Logitech K340. I play on the 8456 and seems to be ok, but sometimes out of habit I switch to the wasd and game crashes D:

The numbers popping up might be a little overkill with everything else going on on-screen. Other than that, this game looks pretty cool!
Laddo D  [author] May 18, 2013 @ 11:35am 
@Hikyn You might have to run the game in adminstrator mode to get it to save properly. What kind of keyboard are you using?
Austin Powers May 18, 2013 @ 11:22am

Hikyn May 18, 2013 @ 1:34am 
I remember before somewhere near the alpha version of the game I have all worked well. Now try to run the alpha version and the same problems
Hikyn May 18, 2013 @ 1:31am

Hikyn May 18, 2013 @ 1:02am

Laddo D  [author] May 17, 2013 @ 11:27am 
@Hikyn Have you tried changing the movement keys to something else? Are there any keys that do work?
