Dynamically Modify Magic with Fictorum’s Spell Shaping System

When we were in the initial planning phase of Fictorum, we wanted make a unique spell system that is simple, unencumbered, and powerful. Being a fantasy video game lover for most of my life, something that I had always craved, but rarely encountered while playing these types of games, was a magic system that provided a lot of variety in a small amount of spells.

Last week, we implemented a ton of new features, fixed scores of bugs, and recorded our first gameplay video, so, in comparison to all of that, this update may seem a little more reasonable.  We’ve added significant improvements to the runes within our Spell Shaping system, enabled our events to have quests within the game, and created new, deadly abilities for our enemy AI. Also, after receiving feedback on our gameplay video, Chip picked up a more powerful video card so that we can better handle playing the game and recording video at the same time. We plan to put it to the test with a brand new (albeit shorter) gameplay video this next week.
