Elemancer enters official 3.0 status with versions 9.0+ as I decided to drastically change how the game plays. After the first few playtests, I've identified some issues and fixed most of them. All my previous balance changes have been partially turned on their head, but they've nonetheless provided valuable information regarding flow of the game and how each Element feels.

A long-awaited update. Though I may be vague, the changes are too sweeping to properly enumerate.

As such, the game is moving into what I’m calling Elemancer 3.0, aka v9.0+

After a long hiatus, I’m finally ready to jump back into Elemancer and make some changes. I also consider some sweeping changes to the game

A brief overview of changes I made to Elemancer, as well as a note that I will be incommunicado for roughly the next three months.

An overview of changes I’ve been making or contemplating for v7.3. I am shaking things up in a big way regarding boss fights and the overarching Questline.

An overview of the second half of the “Elemancer 2.0” revamp. The main innovation is additional PvP showdowns, but I’ve also included another big shift to go along with it.

The next update to Elemancer will be a big overhaul but should improve the playability of the game. More multi-Element synergies and maybe even a new Element?

I spent the last two months delving into Screentop.gg and I feel it will be a good testing platform. I also got distracted by a new game idea, which was enjoyable to explore. And Elemancer is back in a big way!

New, electrifying changes in this Elemancer update! It has become apparent that Elecromancy needs some extra juice, and a visual update will help expand the design space (literally).

Planned updates for v6.1, touching on balance changes and a map redesign.

Brief thoughts on changes I made in v5.7, and planned changes for the next version (v5.8) based on playtesting.

A quick update after v5.5 testing. Some pretty rapid and widespread changes for the amount of turnaround time, but I had to shut down an infinite loop.

Playtesting has been largely successful and encouraging, but I want to highlight the areas I’m looking to change in v5.5

Reflections on v5 and planned changes for the next update. Lots of rebalancing!

A rundown of the changes from v4.5—>v4.6—>v5, which encompass balance changes as well as a big shakeup to Tier 2 zones.

Changes following playtesting of v4, as well as some future plans.

What I’ve been focused on in the latest update to Elemancer, including rationale and discussion.

Taking a look at interaction within card and board games, and then hopefully distilling and applying that to improve Elemancer.

A look into how some of my favorite and most-played board games signal the end of a session and determine a victor.
