- Hotfix 1.0.4.1 - 16 January 2025
Fixed a rare crashbug
- Update 1.0.4.0 is now live - 3 January 2025
Hello everyone, It's been a little while since the last Margoq's Lair update, because I am currently focusing on developing my next title called Whiskers and Wizardry, however, I am ofcourse still supporting the game and looking at feedback and reviews to make Margoq's Lair bugfree and a better experience for you all. Thanks for your feedback! In this patch I've adressed the following issues: The boulder ability would cause game crashes. Extended the souls pickup radius and speed, which should make it impossible to not be able to pick them up if they fall outside the walls. Viking Warrior ultimate was always available. A very rar - single instance - of a crash-bug after an ultimate was used. Happy gaming, -Mathias Zillo Zillo Games
- Announcing Whiskers and Wizardry! - 11 December 2024
I am super proud and excited to announce the next title of Zillo Games: Whiskers and Wizardry! https://store.steampowered.com/app/3326820/ The game follows the exciting world of spellcrafting from Margoq's Lair, but takes a completely different take on it, where there's less focus on finger-twisting and more focus on the tactical aspects of crafting your spells. Inspired by Magicraft, Wizard of Legend and Spell Disk, Whiskers and Wizardry aims to provide a gaming experience which heavily encourages experimentation and exploitation of the overwhelming amount of builds and synergies.

- Content Update v1.0.3.0 - 11 June 2024
Margoq's Lair v 1.0.3.0 is released. This marks the first small content update to Margoq's Lair, which until now only have had hotfixes for bugs. This update includes: An entirely new Game Mode where you save your progress on each floor and can advance from there. This is for people thinking that the game has been a little too punishing. You can still quit the game and start a new game to try out different builds - if you are stuck that might be the best idea. 3 new enemy powers has been added to the elite and super elite monster pool. These includes: Healer: Creates circles on the floor that heals enemies when they stand in them. Bat handler: Summons bats to help with fighting the player. Captain: Creates a buff to all enemies around, making their stats better and making them faster moving and attacking. Default keybindings have been update according to how most people have reported it…
- Hotfix #4 (v1.0.2.3) - 6 June 2024
This hotfix patch includes: Solved issue where when continuing a game, the player wouldn't have as much energy as they should, if they had upgraded energy through perks or otherwise. Items on some levels stopped showing up, even though their sound triggered. This couldn't be replicated by me, but the particular area of code has been updated for more robustness, hopefully this solves the issue. A new Perk overview has been added to the UI (go into inventory and select Perks). This will show all active perks, without having to visit an Alter of Souls. The info text showing when the Ultimate ability is ready is now displayed for longer time and the sound effect's volume is turned up to make players easier notice it. Solved an issue where player's could be stuck in a loading screen. Added two more ranks to the "Energized" Perk, making players able to gain a bonus of 10 energy points through…
- Hotfix #3 (V1.0.2.2) - 4 June 2024

- Hotfix 1.0.2 - 24 May 2024
Implemented different small hotfixes including: - Saw a small performance decrease after yesterday's keybinding update, this has been fixed. - When doing a keybind you will not be performing an attack after exiting the menu. - Souls are now faster to attract to the player and it should not be possible to have less souls on the map than needed to complete quest. - Once in a while Razak would not spawn his minions, this should be fixed now. - Fixed a couple of very rare game breaking bugs.
- Patch 1.0.1: Keybindings Added - 23 May 2024
There's been several players asking for keybindings, or reporting that they find the control scheme awkward. This is adressed in this patch where keybindings have been implemented, for both Mouse, Keyboard and Controllers - you'll find them under Options=>Keybindings. Keybindings for the current input device will be shown there. To change the device go to Options=>Controls. On top of that the time window for making the combos has been increased slightly, to make it easier to move and do combos while having an active combo sequence going. I hope that this will help give you all a better playing experience - if you are still missing some functionality in regards to controls, please don't hesistate to ask on the forums here or on the Zillo Games Discord Server.
- Margoq's Lair is now launched! - 20 May 2024
