"Better Together" - 1.4.6 Patch Notes

General Fixes

• Boomerang powder should now be accessible in the physics station in older saves
• Lover's Quarrel, Vulf Sniper, and other bounty guns have been adjusted to appear in the correct bounty loot tables (time to complete your collections)!
• "Shattered Soul" should now have the correct description
• “0/1 gears collected” has been fixed to read "0/0 gears collected" if you have unlocked the entire Shatter

• The bookcases in the Mechantress tower will no longer be scannable!

Known Issues!

• The Huntress might incorrectly loop an idle animation.
• Charmed entities that have been revived might incorrectly display on the map (your zombie children are not real!)
• Swapping items into processing stations might no longer remember their origin (it was in your backpack, but now it’s in the chest)
• The “burning” VFX might obscure some smaller enemies
• Odden’s Middle Finger might not display correctly on the gun mount building

Over Easy or Hard Boiled

New Difficulty Levels

• Ranger - a less challenging experience with lower penalties for failure.
• Gunslinger - the default difficulty setting.
• Sheriff - a more challenging experience than default.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40716960/4d3fdd04fd60b7b20216167c05c14eb503038c29.png

Lore Galore

Libraries

Available to all wizards by default, the recipe for the general library can be found in the worldbuilder! “But, Galvanic,” we hear you say “we already have bookshelves!” Not like this one, you don’t! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40716960/b05c87a42b01402ed16bb67ec88f45088067aea7.png These sturdy shelves hold all the secrets you’ve collected in your journey, and allow you to easily access your favorite pieces of lore. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40716960/f0617bebef66f5c5b04ad7f8508417775bc703ab.gif Each shelf in this library reflects a specific archetype of magic. We’ve added bookshelf variant recipes that reflect that archetype's style, too – but they’re only available to the wizards that persevere. Collecting enough literature to fill a shelf will reward you with its associated bookshelf recipe. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40716960/3f0a4d3c643bab6643d3954753e6013d94b05c4a.gif

New Lore

New reading materials can also be found in areas around the shatter and in boss arenas. Discover the secrets of the gods and the Imperium's final days. Find out why Hilda's riders have a bounty on them. Read some poetry. Super-sorcerer-slueths will have plenty to uncover in this update. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40716960/73689e11224933e182e2a8044fb234bdd81b3cfc.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40716960/dbcb6e3dee70ee48be0a155e433f5e5fb885effd.png

A Secret beyond the Oculus

Do you dare explore what waits for you? There is something lurking in the depths of the void, beyond the gate of the Oculus. Gather your friends and find out what waits for you – if you dare! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40716960/f0d20cff18aef57109456ba6f417f25f86307b98.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40716960/46ef832dc605c5497bd5437b62d128bbc74b9232.png

Bounty Hunting

Bounty of Enemies The shatter has gotten more dangerous, and a little more crowded. If you track down a bounty you might be surprised at the difficulty of the encounter. Fret not! If you return the proof of bounty to a Bounty Mechana you’ll be rewarded with a treasure any gunsmith would be jealous of. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40716960/5a87897d8c5fa2c53c236cedcecfa8ed8dc8a445.gif Bounty of Board These nasty new inhabitants might be causing a ruckus but there are those looking to clean it up. If you spot a board in your travels, take a peek. You might see a few marks posted for reward! Spending a little arcana will give you the right heading, and you just have to track them down and defeat them. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40716960/0854bbefdf0b9c06fa14ad4e374cf0c867d5a472.png Bounty Mechana Now that you have defeated a bounty mark, how do you collect? The Bounty Mechana is your ticket to a pretty new piece of kit! Simply return the proof of the dangerous criminal you have slain (or defeated by other means) and out pops a brand new gunwand! Disclaimer: Bounty rewards vary in quality and type -- so keep collecting to increase your chances of new magic-sticks! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40716960/54592050c45fdc97ec0e06f91cf17b6a5ebcfa4e.png Mysterious Minibosses Are you an expert arcane alchemist looking for more of a challenge? Do you wander the shatter looking for the next big mark? For the wizards who have completed the game and are looking for an extra challenge, four unique additional bosses await your encounter. Find them hiding away in each biome, and collect their bounty! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40716960/45162e56c6c86e1c891846032f14826f05655f1e.gif {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40716960/dbcb6e3dee70ee48be0a155e433f5e5fb885effd.png

Bounty Rewards

Bounty of Guns The titular star of the show: GUNS! If you thought that bounties would return just any Joshua number, you’re far off the mark. That’s right: over 50 new guns to gather and gawk at – Some are a bit rarer than others. Turn in your precious bounty rewards for a chance to gain any of the following beauties (and more)! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40716960/8ec0a0ffa61d756de90040973d85716868c53cc2.png{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40716960/a9e1c87ef7aeada9fb91a9e83a471c1852ac3735.png{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40716960/6d1c61ee917d2940bcca10213bd8b6f754b68d90.png New Gun Types The keen eyed gunslingers in the crowd may have noticed our new guns contain a few surprises. There are several new firing styles included in the “Bounty of Guns” update. From mortar shots that fly in beautiful arc, to charged shots that deal a large blow of damage there is something for any type of wizard. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40716960/b86d5cf45b6bd4506bd36013b17148d04eb4cc23.gif {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40716960/6ec8767003ee5a22dfae8b1e44c4de89eee64023.gif {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40716960/418c4f049c14f0f42211697173b1704eb8b626af.gif Gun Mount If you are precious about your collection, feel free to show it off in your tower with a sturdy mount. You can even feature classic guns on one of these beauties. Start an entire library dedicated to your collection if you’re brave enough. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40716960/4a4f9737830995fd87c5a0c9d95e0fd9792551f0.gif {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40716960/46ef832dc605c5497bd5437b62d128bbc74b9232.png

Howdy spellslingers!

Welcome to the final week of guns!

We're wrapping up the fourth (and final) week of our preview of "Bounty of Guns," where each week in February we post a gun-a-day from our upcoming update on social media. This week, we've highlighted a wide variety of the rarest weapons that will be available, but we've only scratched the surface of what you'll discover in the "Bounty of Guns"!

Blightspreader

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40716960/d7e11297161ab581ac381ead3ec2cd5537c3e726.png Since discovering the Infinite Well in the Tower, Orion has spent years trying to cleanse its poison. His idea for the Blightspreader came originally as a way to deliver antidote faster than the Well's rate of decay, but now his gun too has been corrupted. Orion has infused the minigun with the Well's poison and wields it as a weapon against those who would attack Hilda and her Riders.

Polaris

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40716960/df77a073dc4137c7e38240092fdfad31af368afb.png Polaris is Odden Hammerite's masterpiece. She found a way to make the charged spells from the gun linger for a moment when they reach the end of their lifetimes. Gunmancers can use those long-lasting bullets to delay effects or create a wall of pain their enemies have to run through.

Volcanic Fury

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40716960/a530ea95df249c6807d3035b4b91c1aea3e77b59.png The Volcanic Fury is a devastating tool for any Sorcerer. Built from magically preserved slag from a volcano, the gun is hot to the touch. What comes out of the barrel is even hotter.

Longtooth Sniper

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40716960/b5f78930f7d14dbe47bad00b2f2359a3b5fb9dcf.png Made from the teeth of Koleyen Vulfs and the wood of the Kolbara tree, this sniper rifle has both bite and range. Each shot requires an aiming charge, but those that take the time to aim know it's worth it.

Wonk's Sprayer

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40716960/daf3ea43edc1ce54a92a542b56cef4108e433ecd.png The gunsmith Wonk Halfworth created an eccentric line of guns known as Wonk's Contraptions. Though powerful, these guns introduce strange and unpredictable behaviors to their spells. Most gunslingers avoid Wonk's guns because of their inconsistency, but a few gunmancers have found powders and techniques that make them truly shine. You can see all the new guns in action here: And with that, we've wrapped on our gun-a-day schedule. "But Glavanic?" we hear you ask, "Why aren't there more guns? I'm simply oh-so-hungry for more guns!" Fear not, gunslinger, for there are over 50 new guns in total coming to the Bounty of Guns update. You'll have to explore the shatter yourself and discover them all! This update is COMING SOON (VERY SOON)! Please follow our twitter or join our discord to be kept up to date with all news! See you gunslingers later!

Howdy spellslingers!

Even more guns have been announced.

We've wrapped on the third week of our preview month for "Bounty of Guns," where each week in February we post a gun-a-day from our upcoming update to social media. This week, we highlighted the wide variety of elemental weapon styles that will be available, but it just scratched the surface of what's possible in "Bounty of Guns!" Whether you're an ice-cold alchemist spellcaster or a charming magus gunslinger; there is a gun for you!

Repenter

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40716960/72808bad664072f6057edf8753ad21a53225ff67.png The Repenter is another classic piece of Fidrow Ironworks commonly used by the Cult of Iron. While it only holds six bullets in its cylinder, this revolver fires far more potent spells than the basic flintlocks of the Imperium.

Viper's Fangs

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40716960/be537369aa1a5f5a149cb4ae6c9844cf59e65d3b.png Scavenged metals from the Fell sell for high coin to the Cult of Lead. The Viper's Fangs is a gun custom-built from that toxin-infused lead. Differing greatly from the average shotgun, the Viper's Fangs fire two toothy spells at a longer-than-average range. This gun can be tricky to master but deadly once you do.

The Crystal Locus

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40716960/34e147df9ed02b6e06dd8fee1c229bccf353a47c.png While most alchemists value predictability in their outcomes, some hunters of the Frozen Wastes desire bonus bursts of pure power. The Crystal Locus gives that extra oomph by focusing arcana through a crystal lens. Sometimes that energy hits just right, and the results are devestating.

Fishskull

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40716960/fc7476abda9b5263c9147d568e44cdc920e7e65d.png The fossils of dead fish from the barren sea don't hold any specific magical properties, but a few gunslingers have built powerful rifles from them. Stylish and intimidating, this rifle packs a punch.

HC Nimbus

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40716960/8252259e09c243ebe70e80731a1ca9062a44bb09.png The guncrafter Heather Corbuster makes a line of stylish and efficient guns for the alchemists of the Cult of Cobalt. You can tell one of her guns by their art deco styling and her initials in front of the gun's title. While not as powerful as some of her competitors, HC's guns have low recoil, making it easier to fire them on the run. The HC Nimbus is her streamlined pistol. You can see all the new guns in action here: We can’t wait to show you what’s in store next week! Follow us on Twitter or hop in our Discord to see each new gun as they're revealed. See you gunmancers next week!

Howdy spellslingers!

Even more guns have been announced!

We've wrapped on the second week of our preview month for "Bounty of Guns," where each week in February we post a gun-a-day from our upcoming update to social media. This week, we highlighted the wide variety of elemental weapon styles that will be available, but it just scratched the surface of what's possible in "Bounty of Guns!" Whether you're an ice-cold alchemist spellcaster or a charming magus gunslinger; there is a gun for you!

Vitriol

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40716960/dd92fd41b3b5d54a2139212ffebf217cc7973475.png The Cult of Lead has developed numerous weapons to better spread poison and corruption. Vitriol is one of their most successful experimental weapons yet. Each shot adds an additional poison dose to its bullet, making it the ideal companion to lethal finisher spells!

Cold Hard Revenge

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40716960/d59b198c1f3ea13dca6e862f5c7aee0de2e4b332.png Serve your revenge ice cold with a rifle that enhances the potency of chilling and freezing spells! The alchemists of the Cult of Cobalt have created this wand with an inner barrel of crystal ice. The result is a smooth-firing rifle that can stop your enemies in their tracks.

The Lover's Quarrel

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40716960/25378c5297c64e4b013bdc050ad03657476aa2c1.png The followers of Flora and the magi of the plains don't belong to any of the gun cults, so the inventor of this charming wand remains a mystery. Regardless, they built the perfect wand for a battle magi: every shot that heals your allies heals you too. Whether it's a fellow gunmancer or a charmed inhabitant of the Shatter: this gun loves love and wants to spread it around.

The Shocker

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40716960/2c7b7d6c29d119eec952b39e42fb44cefb6c9da5.png The industrious Cult of Iron have invented a multishot wand that releases extra electrical bullets with every shot fired. The primary bullet is more powerful than the average shotgun's, and the extra arcing bullets add excellent bonus damage.

Malediction

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40716960/faea84276abaae8c1776c36ce6eab92486a0c94f.png Draco Scarpath is renown for his extraordinarily powerful gunmancy. The downside to his obsidian-infused wands is that every shot drains the life from their wielder's body. The more powerful the gun, the higher a toll it takes. Most wizards stay far away from his cursed weapons... except those who prize power above all else. You can see all the new guns in action here: We can’t wait to show you what’s in store next week! Follow us on Twitter or hop in our Discord to see each new gun as they're revealed. See you gunmancers next week!

Calling All Arcane Gunslingers!

There are new guns on the horizon!

For the month of February we’re posting a gun-a-day (excluding weekends) on our social media and Discord to celebrate our upcoming “Bounty of Guns” update. At the end of each week, you can tune in here for a recap of all the guns we've revealed over the week. Fidrow Ironworks is an industrial wandsmith on the central plains. Their wands are mass produced but well regarded for their reliability and consistent output. They don't fire the highest potency spells, but for a new gunmancer you'd be hard pressed to find a better weapon to start your adventures. Here's some of their noteworthy wands.

Fidrow Sawed Off

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40716960/4ee330018f86c771b0463d2724c2321821eecb16.png Fidrow Sawed Off shoots a cluster of bullets in a very close range for massive damage. It's the tool of choice for gunslingers who wish to conceal their wands in their robes until they get close enough to put a hole in something or someone that needs one.

The Fidrow Strikebreaker

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40716960/6dbdce3881723a2edda0e3970e843d708172f042.png Gunmancy has lead to rapid industrialization in the western plains where Fidrow Ironworks is based. The gunmancers of Fidrow invented the rapid firing Fidrow Strikebreaker to quell any organized unrest in their factories. Now it's become a popular weapon on the Shatter for fighting groups of enemies or laying down suppressing fire.

Fidrow Cultbuster

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40716960/3dcfd29d0f61d87f71e9c758f5e9829a0ddb1a2c.png Favored for its steady output, larger magazine size, and stronger bullets, the Fidrow Cultbuster is a great way to keep your enemies hiding behind cover. The Cultbuster has been banned on the plains after the Cult of Iron Massacre six years ago, but the contraband wand has found its way on the Shatter in the hands of those same cultists.

Fidrow Cannon Wand

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40716960/6f0b270112487279a0938b923090d9235bb6906a.png Packing a built-in explosiveness, the slow-firing single-shot cannon wand is used primarily for its precision and arc. For the patient gunmancer, you'll find no better tool for accurately annihilating anything in a chosen area.

Odden's Pointer.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40716960/2d9cffa83cc07337c0def0c0bb6cdf61005571b6.png Odden Hammerite is a mechanist craftswoman from the eastern plains whose guns are recognizeable from their brutalist designs. She's a supplier of the Gladwell family, who value the added power the guns generate by charging up shots. Together, her line of guns is known as Odden's Fist. You can see all the new guns in action here: We can’t wait to show you what’s in store next week! Follow us on Twitter or hop in our Discord to see each new gun as they're revealed. See you gunmancers next week!

Cult of the Wizard with a Gun

Hello Once Again Wizarding Folk, We have a fanciful treat for the wizards who have a cult on the side... we’ve released a free update to any player that owns Cult of the Lamb and Wizard with a Gun in their steam library. If this sounds like ewe, you’ll be able to reap the following benefits. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40716960/92e5f9d7e9ea8ce8670f917f00a17297686ab966.png

Scytheman’s Costume

A new costume set is available in the character customization at the start of the game, and will also be available to craft in the “sewing mechana” for mid-game wizards. These dashing duds are named after the Scytheman enemy from Cult of the Lamb. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40716960/8813fbd2cc84b0b2336a69abf6378f802a1cbf06.gif

The Red Crown

If you’re looking for a new way to blast spells, look no further than “The Red Crown,” a shotgun available as a craftable blueprint at “Young Joshua” in the Imperium biome. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40716960/bcc361de0f65532c0554ed4e22a19f84f75057c1.gif

A bountiful bundle and devious deal

We've partnered with Massive Monster so new players can try both games at a great bundle price! In the midst of Cult of the Lamb's notoriously large update, we're so happy that they've shared a small part of their world with ours. This bundle is the lowest ever price of Wizard with a Gun and we can't wait to welcome you to our wizarding cult! https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/37935/

What’s To Come

All throughout the month of February, we plan to offer you sneak peeks of the guns that will be coming in our big Bounty of Guns update. Stay tuned here and on Twitter and Discord for one preview a week! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40716960/e34e943ff6580037c80901b3251f88233ff20e17.png

Hello Wizarding Folk! We hope you all enjoyed your first month on the Shatter. We've been hard at work improving the game, and we’d like to share some of those improvements with you today! Buckle in because there are three main parts to this update: Festive glamours for your clothing, new communication tools for multiplayer, and significant improvements to item management and chests. At the bottom of this post you’ll find our usual list of patch items, but we’ll highlight the exciting bits first.

Feature 1 | Festive Clothes for All Sorts

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40716960/a3f2ef9a67dacae35ba30fc5e10363c4e0524070.png Start your magical winter off right with several new costume glamours! Bring out your inner forest-dwelling Magus with a fresh set of robes, gloves, boots, and wooden mask or enjoy a good night's sleep with the new bedtime wizard hat. Also included in this update: a dainty silver lace mask and a flowery poinsettia hat.

Feature 2 | New Communication Tools

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40716960/46a900b56daa06066200531b98ea6b764c0b5cc4.png Wondering what your friend is up to? This patch includes several key updates to messaging and communication. Keep your eye out for on-screen notification in multiplayer games letting you know when your ally enters the tower, starts an expedition, or fails you and dies. Off-screen indicators will be shown for other players and charmed allies – making it easier to track them down in sticky situations. However, the biggest addition to this patch is a wheel-of-magical-communication! If you wish to communicate with your fellow wizards hold the comms wheel key (default G on keyboard) to select your chosen message. This unique expression will appear above your hat as well as on the world map. This mechanic can be used in any situation while exploring the shatter, including: Telling your buddy they’re doing a great job {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40716960/d607ba0d44b208d0a745b9b6ca69d7e70ae53c55.gif Expressing your sadness at the passing of a beloved pet {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40716960/cc6c6439d5e26370725db34227fee076e00d7339.gif Letting a teammate know the location of resources, or other goodies {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40716960/38d9ee2b05455c43cf14101724bad8831f520032.gif

Feature 3 | Resource UI Improvements

Finally, to make your crafting, collecting and cataloging of resources easier, we’ve introduced a small number of UI improvements. All wizards will be able to access chests, crafting stations and most other buildings simultaneously. No more bumping into your buddy when you’re attempting to reload your wand. Use the “Store All” button on any chest to immediately move the entire contents of your backpack into safety. In addition, use the “Sort” button to neatly stack and re-order all items. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40716960/2644778d14c42101fb927ceb729e58f2a5cb43cf.gif{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40716960/2cc0c19fd2c63844ff498a13031f817acb1c3b33.gif Need more room? This patch includes a new way to upgrade chests! Simply build your new chest directly over the old one. You’ll receive the difference in materials directly into your inventory. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40716960/58053f25c057922782ce8aabfb9d1b1452e0505c.gif

Hello, Wizardling Folk! We are overjoyed to announce that 100,000 players have become wizards with guns. From everyone on our team, it's really a dream come true that so many people are enjoying our game. To celebrate, our friends at Devolver Digital have released a new video about Wizard with a Gun's development. They joined us at our home base in Seattle, Washington, for a rootin' tootin' grand ol' time. Long before this game, we worked on all sorts of projects like Rust Belt, Gurgamoth, and even a battle royal in the Cyanide and Happiness universe. We've come a long way from those days.

More Wizards and More Guns

Even though we're proud of what we've built, we still have a lot more planned and a lot more work to do! There are a bunch of ways that we want to improve and add to Wizard with a Gun. If you played the single-player demo, you may have noticed that we've already implemented several changes based on your feedback. We want to continue listening and improving so this game can provide more depth and more spell-crafting adventures. We're starting today with a fresh update. Alongside a bunch of fixes and new features, as a special thank you, we’re adding three Halloween costume sets to the game for a limited time! If you were part of our early Beta, you’ll notice a couple of missing features. Keep an eye on the roadmap for future updates (and keep your secrets to yourself, please)!

Gunslinging wizard gameplay

Last chance for the special pre-purhcase bonus cosmetics

The pre-purchase cosmetics, Wizard King, Jester and bonus regal Hat, will be granted to everyone who purchases Wizard with a Gun in the next day! It's your very last chance to get these items before they are lost to the Shatter. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40716960/75418391054a1e07ed0d20e67cdfd138584249f9.png

We are just a few days away from launching Wizard with a Gun! Our game involves setting off on expeditions to vanquish enemies, gather loot, and explore The Shatter. But with the timer counting down, you'll need to make some big decisions whether it's worth the risk. Dying means dropping the almost everything you've collected. Now, we want to reveal more about Wizard with a Gun's co-op gameplay! In it, you and one other wizard will set off on expeditions together. With twice the power and magic, enemies are balanced stronger to match. To defeat them, there are several co-op mechanics to optimize your teamwork. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40716960/fdf0c1e81f245eddd1483de079f6adf3f45fab7a.gif

Protect and Heal

If one of you runs out of HP, you'll be knocked down instead of immediately succumbing to death. While knocked down, your partner can help you up, but doing so will leave them vulnerable. Please ensure that you are safe before helping anyone else. We don't need any more dead wizards out there! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40716960/f74f4244cf9022d89ef01baf4e6b12a636c31304.gif

Combine Powers

Magical bullets are integral to surviving The Shatter. Each one has a unique effect and many can be upgraded for more potency. Having different kinds of bullets between you and your partner will allow for devastating combos. In the clip above, one wizard is using a freeze spell while the other shatters the chunk of ice, dealing huge damage. There are many combinations like oil + fire, electricity + water and several more for you to uncover. We revealed a few in this devlog. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40716960/6fce64448acf77a752d7c05a2a64b1fcce2a4759.gif

Ward Off Evil

If half of your duo succumbs to the cold embrace of death, they can still lend a ghostly hand. Ghosts can spook enemies into a fearful state, causing them to run away. When the game is in two-player balance, it can get pretty overwhelming for a single wizard. Even a small spook could be the difference between survival or failure. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40716960/dcb0fd9d1d86edcee9f87516e7ca6627d45130c1.gif

Rise Again

You may find a Resurrection Altar as you wander across The Shatter. I've heard that when a living wizard and a ghost stand within the Altar's circle, the ghost will return to the realm of the living. Take note of any Altars you may see on your travels.

Launching on October 17

We've been working on Wizard with a Gun for a long time. It's been amazing to finally show you exactly what our game is about. Whether you've been following us since our first announcements, or have only recently joined our band of wizards, we hope you have a great time playing on your own or with a friend on October 17!

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40716960/d6c86f3cdc8fcbfe568ef8e5b727d0e2398432cb.gif In a game so wrapped up in mystery, Shatter exploration is an integral part of Wizard With a Gun. Each time you leave the Tower into a procedurally generated world, you will be able to collect items used for crafting, meet and talk with NPCs that can aid you in your journey, and scan to your heart’s content. 🧙

Collect & Craft 🍂⚒️

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40716960/8ce99ed7c0f2ed947a89f53c966b5f787feae6a2.gif Crafting is a large part of Wizard With a Gun. You’ll need to collect items from around the Shatter in order to craft clothing, furniture, potions, and even the spells you’ll use to take down enemies! When you leave the safety of the Tower, leave no stone unturned. Leave no turnip ungathered. One of the strategies the team used most in playtesting were farming runs, where once you go out of that portal, pockets empty and guns a-blazing, the primary goal was collecting crafting materials. This way, you can stock up on everything you need to make yourself the best and most powerful little wizard you can be!

Meet NPCs 🤝

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40716960/50c0cc8493992070a57d08a165cc54829ca073bb.gif If you happen to find yourself low on health while wandering the Shatter, find Grandma Bogfen! She is a master potion crafter and will be more than happy to offer you one of her creations. If it’s weaponry you seek, find our good friend Young Joshua, the Gunsmithy! He will make you guns that you can use in your journeys. These aren’t the only two friends you can make, so ensure you explore all biomes for more friendly faces!

Scanning for Lore & More 📕

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40716960/b531429d5db1f771c5fd482a04f0f42750487eed.gif In order to learn more about the creatures, objects, and enemies you encounter, you should scan them with the First Edition. It will tell you all you need to know (and sometimes even give you recipes for furniture, powders, and upgrades to clothing.) Always worth it to scan!

Changes from the Demo version

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40716960/be3b39bf5924d929b0937f58a9584bd2bc3ac4ad.png Since we first launched our Demo back in June, we have implemented a LOT of changes, many of which were suggested by the community over in our Discord server. Here are just a few of the changes we’ve been able to make since the demo!

• Most furniture will now have “variants” that allow you to flip and rotate it to allow for even more Tower customization.
• Reduced floor deconstruction time.
• Lightning spells now will use “charged metals” to craft and research, adding some richness to crafting.
• Updated research, crafting, and building recipes throughout the entirety of the game.
• Additional improved inventory management tools. Such as crafting stations now pull materials from adjacent chests.
• Young Joshua, the gunsmithy, has been added to the Imperium and will build guns for you.
• VFX for building, scanning, deconstruction, and more have been updated.
• Both the First Edition and the Worldbuilder have been updated with more tabs and lore.
• Darnaby has a new look…and perhaps a few siblings.

Wizard with a Gun is just 3 weeks away!

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40716960/03669455cbc4d255a625afe569880f8395285bef.png It's almost high noon for our development. With just 3 weeks left, we're putting the final touches on our blunderbusses so they'll be ready for all of you on October 17. I also wanted to remind you that there's an exclusive pre-order cosmetic bonus. When you play with a partner, who will be the jester and who will be the king? {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40716960/75418391054a1e07ed0d20e67cdfd138584249f9.png

WE ARE GETTING SO CLOSE, MAGICAL FOLK 🧙✨

We can't wait to launch Wizard With a Gun on October 17 and we wanted to show you more details about the game. You must use your insight and creativity to carefully design magical firearms and ammunition that will aid you on your journey. Every reagent you find, harvest, or scavenge can be used to build spell bullets, and each spell can be paired with additional magical powders, or additional bullet chambers. These elements add their own properties to the bullet’s behavior, allowing you to craft complex and powerful spells to use against your adversaries.

Water + Electricity

When you need to take care of multiple moving targets, experienced wizards should reach for a combination of water and arcing electricity spell bullets. Packing these bullets into a Trusty Machine Wand with two chambers allows for a quickfire set of damaging spells. For extra effectiveness, reach for a ‘Homing on Wet’ powder and ‘Electrical Arc Length’ powder and apply them to your Shocking bullet for hair-raising results! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40716960/e8a427ac10ab40c32ce4e330afaf67cb397b3cd7.gif

Oil + Fire

For the arcane alchemist, a little fire goes a long way to providing consistent damage over a large area. Crafting a Rugged Wanderbuss with Oil and Burning spell bullets will provide any pragmatic pyromaniac with enough firepower to overcome any obstacle they encounter. Masterclass Magi can also introduce ‘Napalm’ powder and ‘Dripping Oil’ powders to their bullets for extra spread of the burn! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40716960/d388b0504023a37dc93eba8f7a939157af900462.gif

Freeze + Force

The coolest sorcerers seek the deep knowledge of the ancient cold to tackle powerful foes that might stand in their way. A long range Trusty Carbine can be outfitted with Freeze and Force spell bullets, which serve as a powerful combination. Freeze spells will stop enemies by containing them in a solid block of ice, and when combined with Force the ice shatters in a chilling display of concentrated damage. Expert wizards can increase this effectiveness with ‘Ice Drill’, ‘Longer Freeze’, and ‘Shattering Force’ powders. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40716960/18ed4e6813f638eda7cb8298a4ff2309010fbbee.gif

Fast Traveler

Mixing teleportation bullets and ground summoning bullets lead to an extremely useful combo. Each shot will build a new tile to stand on and immediately teleport you to it. You can cross large chasms and difficult terrain without the Groundlayer tool. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40716960/cbc9947777d19808609385d164581e26d3d8a37c.gif

The singleplayer demo is BACK

The singleplayer demo is available once again! Until September 6, you can try our demo and get a tiny taste of our spellcrafting world. The full game will have 2 player co-op and way more depth in gameplay systems. More monsters, more biomes, more blueprints, more crafting, and most importantly more wizards and more guns!

An IRL spellslinging experience at PAX West

We will be at PAX West in Seattle this weekend! But we aren't just showing the game. Our friends at Devolver Digital have created a real life spellslinging experience. First you'll need to toss the ingredients in the appropriate cauldrons, then you can practice your aim against monsters from the Shatter. If you're successful, you could win an enamel pin or a copy of Wizard with a Gun. And we have plushies, shirts and other merch so you can bring our world home. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40716960/3fbbd790e64a37427ecb16b8a5fdebd89365c6da.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40716960/4e2615d53e54bd72cafe530bc2ba307028a74409.png
