Mage Duels, you may recall, is an arena combat game that draws significant graphical and mechanical inspiration from Ultima Online. The project website tends to fall quiet for long spells, but the developer recently posted an update containing some sparse notes about recent progress made in building the game:

Change log:

• Added offline/training mode
• WEB GL testing/demo
• Implementation of new spell system

Currently working on:

• Re-Implementation of projectile spells
• Re-Implementation of direct spells
• Implementation of Simple AI bot

Hopefully we’ll see somewhat more regular updates from Mage Duels in 2019. If not, look again to its website in early 2020; this wouldn’t be the first time we’ve gotten what amounts to a yearly update therefrom.
