    - Recording a Morrowind challenge run and it's going really well - Feels like I'm improving at the game overall - Spend multiple hours getting my magicka resistance to 100% without major exploits for a tough fight - Magicka resistance doesn't include elemental damage

  • Nue 🌟 @stargazernue.bsky.socialBluesky · Jul 25, 2026

    My ideal moveset for Nue across any game would be something akin to Dota 2 Invoker, Nightreign Recluse, or the game Magicka. Mixing elements together to get spells. Nues entire brainspace is dedicated to memorizing these combinations and there's no room for anything else.

    Remember: Elden Ring, the 2022 Game of the Year, runs on the same 2009 engine that Demon's Souls ran on for the PlayStation 3. And Helldivers 2, the breakout multiplayer game of 2024, runs on the same 2011 engine as Magicka.

    Magicka 2 has a PERFECT magic system, but it is rather short, so i must ask - is anyone out there making a game inspired by Magicka? (or maybe Noita, i know @codered-dev1.bsky.social is making a game inspired by Noita) if you are making one, please share! I'd love to hear about it #gamedev #indiedev

    Like how the Magicka devs added a spell called crash to desktop that causes a random character (including the player) to blue screen of death and vanish from the game, taking any items with them. According to the lore, the wizards learned how to weaponize the game's buggy release.
