That's the last straw. I'm doing Wizards rebalance :D
I think, before I start a sequel I will make a topic to gather all those ideas
lol assuming that cybercuck will look good.
The sequel will have graphics of greater artistic values, more unique and of a more distinctive style. It will be also paying a homage to its predecessor and respect the fanbase by not introducing changes in the art style that would cater to the mass market and ignoring the image that's already engraved in the hardcore fanbase hearts
In short, much more superior in an artistic and a creative sense, no doubt And defnitely much more daring and edgy.
Will it feature cyborgs at least?The sequel will have graphics of greater artistic values, more unique and of a more distinctive style.

(read: it will be still pixelart, more or less similar to the one in LoA :D)
No, definitely not. I believe in a consistent game world, I'm not going to repeat the "gundpowder mistake" they did in HoM&M (I'm aware some would disagree it being a mistake). Sure, I understand why some people like such mixed settings and everything and I even do not exclude I could make such game one day (althrough unlikely, but who knows). But for Legends of Amberland I made such a great effort to make it consistent (no zombies, no Roman mythology, no Greek mythology, no Viking mythology, not even medusa which was the most painful restriction for me) that now destroying the worldbuilding would simply make no sense at all.
Will there at least be cats?
Possibly
Legends of Amberland version 1.21.1
Version 1.21.1 released
This is a boring version containing mostly fixes and… well, the missing 5th Master! The thing is I simply forgotten to put him in the game and since he was non critical to the storyline no one noticed until I implemented achievements which required finding all masters. Then I faced a decision if I should simply change the achievement or add the missing Master. The consensus among players I enquired was that they would rather see him added. So, here it it, the missing Master of Willpower! Note that he can be found using any old save and it does not interfere in your gameplay in progress in any way, you can also simply ignore him if you wish.
One more thing, some of you were complaining about Wizards balance. So, after a long deliberation I decided to tackle the issue since the concerns raised by you seemed reasonable. But it requires testing. There is a secret way (listed below) to enable this test rebalance if you wish (preferably if you hop on our Discord and share your opinion on the rebalance afterwards) but it’s not recommended for regular players. Most likely those changes will go live in the next version.
– [misc] Added missing Master of Willpower (the 5th Master). Fully compatible with your older saves, you can just find him now. Check forum for the exact location if you just want to complete the online achievement.
– [misc] Started Wizards rebalance, it will be an official feature in the next version. Now you can enable the experimental version of it by going to Options then clicking “Wizards rebalance 122”. Check “Wizards rebalance” topic for details.
– [interface] Tooltip CTRL support for selected magic and item (on all screens). Useful for people who play using keyboard alone.
– [fix] Keyboard remapping was sometimes crashing the game.
– [fix] Magic shop was incorrectly applying a gold cost to some items (the bug was introduced by a price difficulty fix in v1.15).
Legends of Amberland version 1.22
Version 1.22 released
Some of you were raising a concern regarding wizards usefulness compared to other classes. I was deliberating on it for quite a while and evaluated this as a valid concern. So, here it is a Wizards rebalance! Basically, all offensive spells for all classes were boosted in efficiency, but in a non linear way, since, according to your feedback, the early gameplay spells balance is fine and only the mid-late gameplay needed adjustments. In addition friendly houses were adjusted to be less powerful (but still useful). This version also contains fixes, small interface improvements and experimental gamepad support (as an optional, disabled by default, experimental feature). Of yes, one more thing, sound effects are handled slightly different now. Previously when all party members were hit by a fireball the sound was played 7 times (once per hit party member), which was grand, epic and loud… well, too loud maybe, especially when on headphones. Now when the party is hit by a fireball the sound is played only once, which should be much gentler on your eardrums.
– [feature] Experimental option to enable gamepad support. It’s crude and might be incomplete but should be usable. Go to Options to enable it.
– [balance] Offensive spells boosted. Depending on the spell level, early spells work the same, then got boosted by +10%, +25%, +50% and +100%. So, early spells are more or less the same while late spells get massive boost in damage output.
– [balance] Due to a popular concern that friendly houses are too powerful, those now function like fountains and restore only HPs.
– [balance] I was brooding for a while if that’s a bug or a feature and decided to change it. Now when you remove any MP granting item it immediately reduces your MP to the new maximum amount. So, now it works like in most RPGs which also should be more intuitive.
– [misc] Spells & effects vs all characters/enemies now trigger a single sound instead of multiple sound effects. This prevents “sound clutter” especially noticeable when using headphones.
– [interface] Party coordinate display is hidden when minihelp is active (looks nicer).
– [interface] Small beautification of Magic screen.
– [fix] Hotkey keybindings not saving after selecting Restore Default.
– [fix] Keybinding was still waiting for key input after closing the keybinding screen before finishing entering new keybinding.
– [fix] End game button (Game Over/Victory screen) can now be activated via keyboard (like rest of the GUI).
– [fix] Other small fixes.
Yes.
) now!
Those changes are already on Nintendo Switch (usually all changes are up to 2 weeks later due to Nintendo submission process). Note that versioning on Nintendo is a bit different than PC versioning.
