Ok from our part, we edited the Magic Page again and now it is fully updated with the Fire Dragon and other criticals.
"Magic Races: Fire Dragon. Dear Alicians! Today we are adding a very special magic item - the Fire Dragon, which now makes the single magic races complete. Once you are set on fire, it will start counting from one to five. After the counting the Fire Dragon materializes in front of you and attacks. The Fire Dragon magic is quite unique - this is the only magic that you can transfer to another player! Just touch another player before the counting stops and the fire will be transferred. Note that a shield can protect you from the final fire dragon hit, but it can not protect you from being set on fire, either by throwing or touching. Bonus items added today: Critical Fire Dragon - even more powerful version that can be distinguished by bluish color of the fire. Can penetrate an ordinary shield. Critical Feather of Phoenix - lasts longer, gives you amazing speed, and can also protect you from critical attacks. Critical Lightning - probably the most powerful weapon in the game, even a critical shield can not protect you from it! Now, when all the magic items are added to the game, we can focus on balancing them properly. We do realize that there are still a lot of things that should be improved and adjusted. We are carefully reviewing all your reports and we are doing our best to resolve all the mentioned issues. Some game situations appear to be quite rare and can not be fixed immediately, but you may expect them to be resolved in the future updates. Thank you very much for all your feedback and support - it really helps us a lot~ P.S. As you may already know, there are two types of races in Alicia - Single races and Team races. In team races the players are divided into red and blue teams, which compete with each other. So there are actually 2 more magic items in the game - the scepter and the book, which only appear in the team magic races. By design the bots were not able to participate in team races, so we can not add those magic items to the game right now, they will be added later when multiplayer comes. But, well, in original version the bots were also not able to use fireballs, but now they can. Who knows, maybe some day the bots will be able to participate in the team races as well~"

Ok so we have been updating the Magic Race page lately and today it was added to more magic spells into the game. Those can now be seen on the page at
http://aliciaonheart.weebly.com/magic-race.html Here is what the programmer said about the new update: Magic Races: Phoenix Feather and Lightning. Are you ready for new magic items? Today we are introducing Phoenix Feather and Lightning. Phoenix Feather gives you powerful acceleration and, more importantly, also protects you from attacks, acting as a combination of booster and shield. Phoenix Feather is very efficient for catching up with other players, so you will most probably get it when you are running the last. Lightning is a fascinating weapon designed for attacking the leader of the race. A dark cloud appears over your head and then a powerful lightning strike stops you immediately. The lightning strike may also affect other players running close to the leader. Lightning is so powerful, that it can penetrate an ordinary shield. Bonus items added today: Critical Booster - gives you even higher speed. Critical Shackles - work longer and can penetrate an ordinary shield. During the last weeks we have done a significant progress on implementing the magic items and now we are getting close to the last ones. Magic races now start to look like their original version. As you may notice, the probability of getting a specific magic item is currently different from the original. For example, the last added magic items are given higher probability intentionally, so that they can be tested more easily. However we are now getting closer to the point when the game should be properly balanced and you can help us with this. The players "feeling" of the game is much more important than any statistical analysis, so if you think, for example, that some magic item appears too often or too rare during the race - feel free to give us your feedback~ To Alicia facebook page Ok so it's seem we are going to get magic races but only with a few spells to start with. It will take time to have it all but it will be worth the wait. Older Alicians help him out kay?
(Magic Races - The Beginning: Ice and Boosters. Starting from this week we begin to work on Magic races. And today we introduce the first implemented magic items - Ice and Boosters. Unlike the Speed races, reconstruction of the Magic races requires quite a lot of work. Each magic item is a separate object, having its own logic, which has to be programmed individually, making the Magic races one of the most sophisticated parts of the game. Nevertheless we plan to complete implementation of all the magic items in a couple of weeks. During this time experienced players can help us with testing the newly added magic items, and the beginner players can gradually learn how to use the new magic step by step. The Booster gives you acceleration for a few seconds, and the Ice, on the other hand, slows you down if you run into it. You obtain a magic item every time your magic bar fills up. Also you can find magic items directly on the track. Let's check it out~) |
