Indie Online TCG Speallweaver Will Be Going Into Maintenance Mode After One Final Update

Indie online trading card game Spellweaver will unfortunately be going into maintenance mode following the release of one final balance update later this month. Lead developer Ivko Stanilov decided to call it quits due to the hardships that he and his family faced because of the pandemic.

“For a while, I kept my hopes up that I would be able to keep working on Spellweaver,” said Stanilov. “I tried renewing my efforts a couple of times, however each time I felt I was so much behind with my plans for the game that I quickly lost motivation. I was no longer able to look at Spellweaver’s future with optimism.”

“It’s now time to admit that for the time being, there will be no updates for Spellweaver. Although I still hope I can once again return to it someday,” he added.

Stanilov and his studio Dream Reactor launched the game on Steam in February 2016 with plans to add MMO elements in the future. While the game failed to make the transition to an MMO, the lead developer revealed that former members of the team are starting a new studio and are looking to create a new game set in the Spellweaver universe. Stanilov promises to reveal more information about the new game soon.

“I think that this new project has the potential to draw attention to the Spellweaver IP once more and even pave the way for future instalments,” he mused. “I am of course also on the team for this new and exciting title.”
