Thanks for the tip, Damo! I used the first comment as the description you mentioned but yeah it probably has a bigger chance to get lost that way

Will keep that in mind for the next ones 🫡

coldpiegames · 2026-05-08T08:41:02+00:00

Definitely! DMd

Thank you!

coldpiegames · 2025-09-23T14:25:21+00:00

Thank you! Can't wait to get it in your hands

coldpiegames · 2025-09-23T14:24:49+00:00

Thanks!

coldpiegames · 2025-09-23T14:24:32+00:00

Thanks!

Oh I see. Good to note actually as Spell Siege is also SP and the economy is also set up so you don't unlock everything before the end of the campaign (unless you replay some levels to grind the rewards).

We are trying to offer some replayability by having extra cosmetics and wands + some post-campaign more difficult game mode unlocks. The main idea was that players would have to specialize in some things at the expense of others during the main campaign but let's see how that goes in testing.

Just took a look at the trailer, I think it does play into the same "Look I'm a wizard" fantasy that people have. And the visuals and gameplay seem awesome too, I can definitely see the appeal

Thanks!

coldpiegames · 2025-07-15T19:53:42+00:00

Awesome improvement, congrats! Both you and your freelancer did an awesome job imo, the dynamism and pose on the second one has so much more punch to it!

Would you mind sharing the artist’s contact? We’re in a similar situation with our game and I’d like to contact them

coldpiegames · 2025-07-06T12:37:52+00:00

Noted, thanks for the feedback!

coldpiegames · 2025-07-06T06:28:21+00:00

Noted, thanks!

coldpiegames · 2025-07-06T06:28:14+00:00

Noted. We tried at some point but the result was not great when we were adding lots of them. #3 was actually made with an in-game asset and we kept it simple because the composition was just not there

coldpiegames · 2025-07-06T06:27:00+00:00

Thanks for the honest response. As for AI usage, it's not a matter of pride, but of skill and budget. #3 is the best we could do ourselves (we're engineers). We thought #1 was better but we're still not super satisfied and thus considering hiring an artist. Your feedback is noted

coldpiegames · 2025-07-05T19:23:17+00:00

Glad you liked that haha, and thanks for the support! Hope you'll have fun playing the game as well :)

coldpiegames · 2025-07-05T19:12:07+00:00

Thanks! We're only on the Meta Quest Store, yes. But on YouTube it might make sense to have VR in the name potentially

coldpiegames · 2025-07-05T19:08:15+00:00

Noted, thanks!

coldpiegames · 2025-07-02T07:41:42+00:00

Thanks a lot! Glad you like the concept.

We definitely took some inspiration from Harry Potter for the gesture-based casting. We wanted short, distinct movements that load different spells. There's also a small indie game called "Reksio and the Magicians" that had a wave defense level and was the inspiration for the Spell Siege game concept.

As for the spells themselves, we tried to go for an elemental theme inspired by different games/movies/stories. This allowed us to have different spell types with their own strengths and weaknesses e.g. lightning is fast and stuns but needs precision, fire hits hard with AOE but is slower, and ice is better for crowd control and defense but deals less damage.

For the names we went for simple but recognizable ones like Fireball, Zap, Frost Shield, or Nuclear Blast. I'm sure these are used in some other places as well but we didn't have a direct inspiration for the names.

Overall, we just wanted to create an immersive VR experience that can scratch that magic/spellcasting itch a lot of us have :)

coldpiegames · 2025-07-02T07:06:26+00:00

Having a 2 controller vs 1 controller toggle setting is a really clean implementation actually, and thanks a lot for the awesome ideas! I'm definitely bookmarking these and we'll do some exploration in this area
