Dev Journal #19: Preview of Beta 2
Let me start out with a thank you! As some of you know, I was against doing an Early Access, especially one this early.

Dev Journal #17: New vs. Remaster
While this game is a remastering of the Elemental games (War of Magic + Fallen Enchantress + Sorcerer King), we are also keen to make sure there is new content for players to enjoy.
