Dave the Diver Crossover Arrives: Magic? Harpoons! Sushi Shops!

What kind of sparks will fly when Magicraft meets Dave the Diver?

Meanwhile, three legendary bosses from the Dave the Diver are making their way into Magicraft: Giant Squid, Truck Hermit Crab, and John Watson!

Get ready, Magicians — these battles are not to be missed!

Code Refactoring & Optimization

● Memory: By storing data in contiguous chunks by component type, DOTS significantly reduces memory fragmentation and cache misses.

● CPU: With the Job System, processes can now run in parallel, fully utilizing multi-core performance for smoother gameplay and improved simulation efficiency.

CPU Utilization Comparison in Complex Scenes: Mono Version (Left) vs. DOTS Version (Right)

Since DOTS is a relatively new programming architecture, its code logic differs greatly from the previous version, and the refactoring workload is massive (essentially a full rewrite of the game…).

Dear Magicians,

Thank you all for your incredible support!

Magicraft has officially surpassed 700,000 global sales, and we’ll keep working hard to bring you even more exciting stages and spells!

At the same time, we have some exciting news to share!

The Magicraft × Dave the Diver crossover DLC is officially set to launch on October 29!

Harpoons, sushi, and perilous underwater adventures — what kind of new encounters await this time?

Join Dave in the magic forest and embark on a brand-new adventure!

Dear Magicians, greetings!

Monster: Minions or Bosses

Squid: Sprays ink projectiles that deal damage and obscure parts of the screen.

In addition to the Giant Squid, two more crossover bosses will also be joining the world of Magicraft. But who could they be?

Equipment: Weapons & Relics

When we first began designing the crossover set, our weapon choice was naturally the Harpoon Gun.

Spacebar: Fires a harpoon.

However, once we brought the harpoon into actual combat scenarios, it quickly became one of the least-used tools. Its fixed cooldown made it feel clunky, and its operation logic felt completely disconnected from the spell-based combat of the staff—resulting in a very jarring experience.

Triple Axel is a unique weapon from Dave the Diver, capable of firing three bullets simultaneously.

When the harpoon is fully charged, players can tap the Spacebar to consume 1 charge and fire a harpoon attack, or hold down the Spacebar to consume all charges, greatly increasing the damage of a single harpoon.

Dear Magicians,

In our previous developer log, we mentioned that we would continue bringing you fresh and exciting gameplay experiences through collaborations—and now, it’s here!

We’re thrilled to announce that Magicraft will be collaborating with DAVE THE DIVER. Fantastical creatures from the Blue Hole and familiar faces from Bancho Sushi will soon be making their way into Magicraft, ready to embark on a thrilling new adventure!

Stay tuned for more detailed information coming soon!

Dear Magicians, long time no see!

Thank you all for your continued support. In the last update, we introduced many new monsters and fun spell combinations. The game has now sold over 600,000 copies—but our journey of magical discovery is far from over.

New spells await your mastery, and a new world is calling for heroes to save it.

Since the release of version 1.1, we’ve been closely following community comments and feedback:

We want to assure everyone that the most anticipated features—collaboration DLC, frame rate optimization, and infinite mode—are all well underway. Currently, the development schedule is planned through the end of 2026, and we’re still expanding it step by step.

Now, let’s dive into the latest update news—some of it will be reaching you very soon!

Mysterious Collaboration Coming Soon

"Hot summer days call for beaches and soda—but why am I still stuck in a dungeon?"

"Wait, hold on… I think I just heard the sound of running water…"

New collaboration is coming, bringing new bosses and new sets to the game.

We know you’ve been waiting for the DLC for a long time—new content will be ready to experience very soon!

In our previous collaborations with Warm Snow, Bing in Wonderland, and Backpack Battles, we created three unique character sets that received great praise from the community. The usage data also shows these sets are quite popular. Going forward, we’ll continue to bring you more fresh and exciting crossover experiences through future collaborations.

In this collaboration event, not only can you get brand-new character sets, but several powerful crossover bosses will also be added to the game.

Detailed information will be announced soon—stay tuned!

Game Performance Optimization

For a long time, players have voiced concerns about serious frame drops in the late stages of the game.

We’ve come to realize that the basic MonoBehaviour structure can no longer meet the demands of large-scale parallel processing.

But now, those issues are about to become a thing of the past!

Magicraft is being rebuilt using the new Data-Oriented Technology Stack (DOTS) architecture. This will significantly improve how the game handles complex particle systems, ensuring stable performance even in high-load scenarios.

Enough talk—here’s the comparison:

Before Optimization

After Optimization

At this point, some players might ask:

"If DOTS is so great, why didn’t you use it from the start?"

Here’s the thing—while DOTS is powerful, it’s also challenging to learn and slows down development speed.

Plus, back then, this technology was still in beta and not widely known.

In short, to ensure the scalability of spells in the long run and to develop more fun and diverse spell combinations, we had to refactor and optimize the code.

That’s the only way to truly solve these issues.

"So smooth!"

DOTS optimization is a large undertaking and will take some time to complete, so we kindly ask for your patience.

We’re committed to providing all our magicians with the best possible gameplay experience. In future updates, we’ll continue to address in-game issues and push forward with improvements—ensuring your magical journey is smooth and enjoyable every step of the way!

Portal to Her: Fall into the Gearverse

A new visitor has arrived at the Secret Camp.

Along with her comes a mysterious Door leading to an unknown destination.

You decide to journey with her beyond the gateway... What miracles and adventures await there?

"Is the mind forged by the Constructor a light unto truth — or but a torch within a machine-made dream?"

The long-awaited infinite mode is now officially on the roadmap!

With brand-new environments and endless levels, mastering spell combinations will help you go even further on this magical pilgrimage.

In addition to unique scenes and enemies, the level structure in infinite mode will also differ from the main game.

At the moment, we’re focusing heavily on the collaboration content and DOTS optimization, both of which involve a significant workload. Infinite mode itself will also be a substantial addition and will take time to develop. We’re working hard to complete the current phase of development and hope to bring infinite mode to you as soon as possible.

More detailed information will be shared in future developer logs—stay tuned!

Once again, thank you all for your excitement and continued support!

That’s all for this developer’s log!
