Rift Wizard 2 Launch

Early Access for RW2 begins today.

The game is quite similar to RW1, using the most of the existing graphical assets and a slightly modified game engine. I wanted to focus on making the game better rather than newer, and on serving the existing player base rather than chasing new ones. IMO the game is a very big improvement on the first.

A quick summary of the most significant changes for veteran RW1 players considering making the jump:

• New equipment system. Find and equip staves, robes, and other equipment. Replaces shrines.
• 31 new spells
• 28 new skills
• Most spells have reworked upgrades (one per spell rather than piecemeal)
• Free HP refill and portal reroll at end of each level.
• New procedural boss generation system
• New multi-tile boss monsters
• Compressed level curve
• Larger level size if your monitor supports it

You can check it out here.

I hope you enjoy playing it as much as I enjoyed making it :)
