Hi folks! We've got some exciting new features included in this release, here are some of the highlights:
Use voice interactions with blazingly fast responsivenessWe’ve made great strides to take voice interaction to the next level, and after a total redesign of our voice systems, everything behind voice runs locally on device (no network required!). This new version includes better reliability, better accuracy and much more consistent and faster latency. Voice enables you to modify your own abilities and create anything, anywhere, with just a few words.
With voice we’re aiming to make true natural interaction possible and we feel that with the improvements in this update we’re closer to that goal than ever before.
Team up with a friendAt anytime you can team up with a friend on a second screen with a controller or mouse/keyboard. You can have some cozy magical times together mixing spells or solving riddles, and when you’re feeling adventurous, enter the Observer Fortress and battle behemoth stone creatures and discover some dark secrets.
We’re really excited to open up the possibility for you to enjoy Waltz of the Wizard with your friends and family. The co-op mode also includes fun new ways for veteran VR users to introduce new VR users to the magic of VR, making it easier for the 2nd user to guide the VR user through the experience by interacting with everything, highlighting items or picking up and throwing items to the VR user.
Play around in a revamped towerThe tower has been totally revamped with improved shaders, models and texture resolutions on everything, making it much more polished than ever before. Skully also has new additions with interesting tips and new greetings every time you visit the tower.
New magical hand-prints in start and end rooms for easy return to portal circle, new music loops and ambiences for a deeper dungeon crawling atmosphere, and various props and items like health vials now drop from enemies, crates and barrels.
Your virtual hands should feel like a natural blend with your own and the final look has been adjusted to a blend from transparent to a solid form in order to better indicate thaty they are a natural part of you. While this may like a small change, it’s one we believe mentally makes a difference in VR compared to disembodied hands — avoiding the feeling better of being sawed off at the wrist.
The in-game menu has been enhanced with new icons, adding the achievement sticker board and making the map fully accessible, along with more additions like microphone calibration. Make sure to glance through it since the menu has a wide range of options to customize the experience to your liking.
There are numerous additions to improvements to a majority of content in this release of Waltz of the Wizard, see our full release blog post for more details [medium.com] and release notes can be found on our Discord [discord.com] .

I was really disappointed with "The Knight of Dawb Magic Tree House". The storyline seemed disjointed and the characters were not developed well. The plot lacked depth and there were many unanswered questions. It felt rushed and I couldn't fully connect with the story or the characters. I have enjoyed other books in the Magic Tree House series, but this one just fell short for me.
2. Mark - 2.5 stars
"The Knight of Dawb Magic Tree House" was an underwhelming read for me. I found the writing style to be simplistic and the dialogue felt forced. The pacing was off, making it difficult to fully engage with the story. Additionally, the plot lacked originality and felt cliché. Overall, I found it to be a forgettable addition to the series.
3. Emma - 1 star
I have always been a fan of the Magic Tree House series, but "The Knight of Dawb" was a major disappointment. The book lacked the magic and whimsy that I loved in the previous installments. The characters felt flat and the plot was uninteresting. The writing style was too basic and lacked the depth I've come to expect from this series. I hope future books in the series return to the charm and excitement that initially drew me in.
4. Stephen - 2 stars
"The Knight of Dawb Magic Tree House" felt like a missed opportunity. The concept had potential, but the execution fell flat. The pacing was slow, and the action scenes lacked excitement. The characters were not well-developed, making it hard to care about their journey. Overall, I was left feeling unimpressed and unsatisfied after reading this book.
5. Laura - 2.5 stars
As a longtime fan of the Magic Tree House series, I was disappointed by "The Knight of Dawb". The story felt predictable and lacked the sense of adventure and discovery that I enjoyed in previous books. The writing style seemed more suited for younger readers, and I found it difficult to fully immerse myself in the story. While the illustrations were well-done, they couldn't compensate for the lackluster plot. Overall, this book didn't live up to my expectations for the series.
