- Finally - STEAM COMMUNITY ITEMS - 10 September 2024
Hello, Adventurers! How’s everyone doing? Recently, we had the pleasure of visiting Cologne, Germany, for gamescom! It was an incredibly exciting trip—our first time at such a massive event! We showcased Be My Horde there, but we also have a little treat for fans of our RPG. No need for lengthy introductions; we’ve got a few quick announcements, so let’s get straight to the point.

Steam enthusiasts, rejoice! Trading Cards, Emoticons, The Badge, and Backgrounds are now available. Enjoy!

- FUTURE OF REALMS OF MAGIC - 27 June 2024
Hello, adventurers! It’s been a while since we last let you know we’re alive. Don’t worry; we’re safe and sound, and we’d like to share some information about what is happening with the Realms of Magic franchise. Where to start… The last few months at Polished Games have been crazy but in a very good way! We’ve been hiring new people, learning new skills, and making awesome new contacts in the industry as we attended PAX East in Boston and Digital Dragons in Kraków. And, of course, we’ve been super focused on our new game, Be My Horde. On June 18th, we finally released it in Early Access, and the whole team was delighted with the warm reception from players and all the positive reviews. It gives us a lot of motivation to work even harder. But where is Realms of Magic in all of this? Well, our plans haven’t changed. We WILL develop the Realms of Magic remake, and we WILL make the sequel.…
- Our next project: BE MY HORDE - 1 February 2024
Hello, adventurers! We understand your eagerness to learn more about the Realms of Magic remake and sequel. However, in the meantime, after weeks of meticulous planning, development, and, well, polishing, we are thrilled to share more details about our upcoming project titled BE MY HORDE. Check out the freshly cooked trailer: You can also wishlist it here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2499520/Be_My_Horde/ While we briefly mentioned it in one of our previous announcements, we want to make sure this message reaches everyone. Over the past few weeks, our team has significantly expanded (almost like Moriana’s army of undead warriors in Be My Horde). We decided to focus on a smaller project to help new members learn how to work together and find common ground. We believe we've already achieved that, as all developers at Polished Games are excited about collaborating on Be My Horde! Thr…
- Happy Holiday, adventurers! - 21 December 2023
Hello, adventurers! How are you? We've been busy lately, working hard on our next projects. For now, we're quite cryptic about it, but give us another month or two, and we should be ready to share more details. Thank you for your patience! But for now, we're getting ready for a holiday break. Over the next week, we're going to recharge the batteries to get back to work in January and go full steam ahead. In the meantime, we'd like to once again thank you for your support and wish you a Happy Holiday! Also, thank you for your reviews here on Steam, both positive and negative.

- Realms of Magic: What’s Next? - 20 July 2023
Hello there! It’s been exactly one year since Realms of Magic was released as a Full Version. To celebrate our first anniversary, we are excited to share our plans for the future! How it all started Quite a long time ago, we had a dream - to create our own fantasy sandbox RPG. And we had absolutely zero skill, knowledge, or experience to pull off a project of that scale. That didn’t seem like a reason good enough not to try anyway, so we did… aaand it took us 8 long years to finally create something we could call a complete game. The game turned out pretty decent, considering our lack of resources. Despite being very janky and lacking in many aspects, it sold over 50k copies, earned 80% positive reviews on Steam, and, most importantly, showed us the potential for this game idea. Realms of Magic is a clear example of a game that is better than the sum of its parts. It doesn’t have great…

Fixed issue with Cursed being unable to lure farm animals
- Version 1.2.1 - 28 February 2023
Fixed issue with tutorial mage not attacking enemies Fixed issue with cave enemies attacking each other
- Update 1.2 - The Return of the Cursed - 28 February 2023
At long last, the Cursed are back! The Cursed race is back, and now they feature their unique Game Mode! The Cursed are not tolerated in the Old Kingdom and are attacked on sight by anyone and everywhere. If you choose to play as this race, you won't be able to complete quests, trade, or train. Instead, you will be given the opportunity to plunder villages and, if you are brave and powerful enough, take on the entire city of Stonebridge by yourself! Additionally, because the Cursed can't complete quests, all quest locations are unlocked for them as soon as you discover a map for that Realm. You didn't like a particular NPC? Now you can do something about it! Fixes Changed Necromancy mana cost reduction talents to bonus mana Fixed issue with mana reduction not working on weapons and Elixir of Wisdom Fixed issue with Drysoil Hero achievement not triggering for some players Fixed issue wit…
- News and Version 1.1.1 - 13 October 2022
It's been a while since the last update. After the full release and the crazy month that followed it, we took some extended time off to finally rest after working on Realms of Magic for 8 years (we started way back in 2014). Currently are working on update 1.2, which will bring back the Cursed race, which will have significantly different gameplay than other races, as literally everyone will be hostile towards you. Villages will no longer provide a safe haven, instead they will become deadly places filled with strong enemies. Update 1.2 will arrive in early December. We want to thank you all for the successful launch. During the first three months since the full release, we sold more copies than during the entire Early Access, which lasted almost 5 years! This month we are going to surpass 40 000 copies sold in total, which is absolutely huge for us! This successful launch will allow us…
