- Mage's Initiation v.1.1 Update Released - 21 February 2019
Hey, everyone! A new build of Mage's Initiation has been rolled out. It addresses the majority of bugs and issues that have been reported since launch. This build won't break your existing save-games and will allow you to continue playing from where you left off. However, to get the optimal experience, starting a new game is recommended. The main feature addition to this patch is the inclusion of a "no combat" mode, which allows you to disable random combat encounters (in the forest and wastelands) completely. Only boss battles will be mandatory, but they, too will be much easier. This feature is intended to allow people to play through the game more like a pure adventure game if they don't want to deal heavily with the combat or RPG elements. To use "no combat" mode, simply drag the Combat Difficulty slider all the way to the left. You'll see a textual indication saying that combat is…
- Patch v1.0b Now Available on "beta" branch (Windows Only) - 12 February 2019
Hey, everybody! We've got a new patch for the game ready! The majority of bugs and issues reported since launch have been addressed.

- Quest for Glory-inspired Mage's Initiation is out now - 31 January 2019
After a decade in development—I previewed it five years ago!— Mage’s Initiation has finally launched. It’s a point and click adventure heavily inspired by Sierra classics like Kings Quest and Quest for Glory. Like the latter, it also dips into the realm of RPGs, complete with magical specialisations and optional combat. Watch the launch trailer above. Reminding me a bit of Shannara , the modern world has been destroyed and a magical one has sprung up out of its ashes. Technology has been replaced by elemental magic, skyscrapers by wizard towers and I have no idea where goblins and bird-people fit in. They’re bad news, apparently, and just a couple of the obstacles getting in the way of protagonist D’arc becoming a full mage.  No teen wizard adventure would be complete without big stakes, of course, so as well as passing his initiation test,…
- Mage s Initiation is questing for glory in stores today - 30 January 2019
Mage’s Initiation: Reign Of The Elements is yet another Quest For Glory-inspired old-school adventure RPG hybrid, this time from Himalaya Studios. It feels weird to even say that, given that we’ve gone decades with nothing much comparable released, but this one comes not long after Hero-U: Rogue To Redemption . For those who didn’t grow up playing point-and-click (or parser-based) adventures in the 90s, you’re looking at a blend of traditional inventory-based puzzling and real-time battles, this time with an elemental magic focus. Check out the launch trailer below. (more…)
- Mage's Initiation is an adventure-RPG inspired by Quest for Glory - 30 November 2018
I first wrote about Mage’s Initiation for a preview five long years ago, and now the adventure-RPG hybrid finally has a release date. It’s taken the team around ten years to make and will be released into the wilds on January 30.  There aren’t many adventure romps in the style of Quest for Glory kicking around these days (which is disgraceful). In Mage’s Initiation, you’re a teen wizard about to be unleashed upon the world to put your skills to the test via three quests. Also, the kingdom needs to be saved, so I guess you could help out with that, too?  Magic can help you solve puzzles, but it can also fry any goblins trying to start a fight with you. One of four elemental specialisations can be picked at the start, conferring unique spells for use in and out of combat. You can try to avoid fights, however, and play Mage’s Initiation m…
