I beta tested for this game, and I’m assuming this is an issue with the demo? To give you a non-spoilery reassurance, I will say only that this isn’t a narrative oversight. It elaborates later. I hope that makes you feel even better about the experience you’ll get on release day!

I’m so excited about this one! I got too busy to play the later bits of the demo, but I loved what I did play. (I am still sad that the old title ran afoul of a copyrighted term. New one is good, but I loved the original.)

Is that why it was changed? I never heard about that.

It wasn’t a trademark issue, and since titles can’t be copyrighted, it wasn’t that either. It’s that “pattern magic” is used by so so so many craft books that finding the game by way of Google search would have been way harder.

That’s understandable, but too bad. I liked the original title better. This one feels a bit generic.

Ah, I see! I misunderstood your original: "Did you know that craft books and websites totally own the phrase “pattern magic,” a fact I would have discovered with even cursory Googling beforehand? " as being a more legal thing. Either way, can’t wait to play it.

I like the new title better from a practical standpoint, tbh. I think pointing out that you’re going to be the professor at magical school helps it stand out a bit more from the crowd of student-at-magical-school games out there.
