April 2022 Devlog

Hey everyone !! The island scene has now been fully set up for the Alpha build which will be available very soon !! Make sure to keep an eye out for upcoming announcement trailers, builds, images, media and socials. There are so many more things to add to this VR sanctuary and we are excited to release the first instalment of the Runaway Mage experience.

Plant Growing:

Mushrooms and tree growing has now been expanded on and implemented within the Island. You will be able to grow a massive oak tree, and litter cute little spotted mushrooms throughout the planters available on the island.

The well has also been placed within the scene and is interactable, however, the water supply currently isn’t available. Make sure to keep an eye out on the well in future builds, it may provide something you will need to grow some interesting plants.

Seed Jars:

All the seed jars now have functionality and their custom seed labels !! They also have a little wooden stand for you to be able to keep your gardening needs organised. Now, when you rotate the jar, a seed pops out enabling the player to start building their custom garden. Currently the Alpha seeds available will be for Peonie (small plant), Daisy (Omen head plant), Lark Ascending (medium plant), Fly Agaric (mushroom), and Acalypha (hanging plant). Keep in mind, these plants might look a little different to what you are used to with their labels. More plants will come in future builds and you will need to discover the seeds through exploring the island, but these seeds will be freely available for the alpha build.

The Runaway Mage trailer will be released soon also so make sure to keep an eye out for that !! We are so excited for you all to finally be able to build your own virtual sanctuaries and make Runaway Mage your own.

Discord:

Please join our Runaway Mage Discord !!! All announcements regarding the game, devlogs, and publications will be posted there (as well as socials). Also get the opportunity to chat to Misfit devs and writers.
