Heralds of the Avirentes v0.63 Grand Update is coming soon! (Patreon)

Greetings, my dear om’veri! I hope you all are doing well and preparing for upcoming merry holidays!

You could have noticed that we’ve gone silent for half a month due to some pressing issues, such as numerous blackouts caused by the immense damaged delt to Ukrainian power grid by the aggressor. Thus, our efficiency has dropped. However, it was one more reason for us to concentrate all our effort, for we’ve been aiming to prepare our project for a proper presentation at Indie Cup 2022 Game Festival Ukraine!

Azaries is gonna be a superstar now!

We’ve already submitted all the necessary paperwork and even released a special demo version for the potential new players! Indie Cup 2022 is dedicated to Ukraine and Ukrainian game developers, thus missing such a great opportunity of expanding our fanbase would be unwise. We are proud of all that hard work we’ve already done and all that effort we’ve put into the proper presentation of our game, characters, and the world of Nanraas. We are not aiming at winning or getting any solid rewards, even the participation itself is already a great achievement! At current stage of development, our game desperately needs informational support, online streaming, articles in game magazines and on corresponding internet sites, thus this is our best chance to let everyone know about Azaries and her adventures!

So, please, wish us good luck and keep rooting for our project! Thank you very much for your continuous support!

Moreover, massive content and tech update of Heralds of the Avirentes is on the horizon!

Next update is of great importance, for it will greatly impact the tech side of the game as well as the overall user experience. We’re sure the new iteration of the game is going to greatly impress you! Thus, we’re proud to announce the following upcoming changes:

1) Total rework of in-game music, sound effects, and BGMs! In cooperation with Eric Matyas,we’ve created exciting, new, and, most importantly, original soundtrack for our game! Our patrons have already had a chance to listen to some samples of musical themes that are currently being implemented into the game on our Discord channel. According to the feedback, everyone enjoyed the new style of music. Moreover, the next update will let you listen to hours of quality in-game soundtrack to the fullest! In addition, the game features the elements of the music collection by Rengoku Teien, which perfectly complements Eric's tracks! Gradually, there will be even more original BGMs, character themes and sounds, however their number depends on the financial support of the game and the situation in our country – each element of the soundtrack is being officially ordered, paid for, licensed, and copyrighted to meet the requirements of international intellectual property legal framework.

2) Total rework of outdated in-game content (sprites, backgrounds, character models, light schemes etc.). You will be surprised, but the Prologue has been updated to match the overall quality of the recently released content, thus you’re advised to replay it to experience the stunning new artworks and carefully updated assets. Also, it now features new fragments of revised lore and important pieces of plot that have been added in order to close some remaining gaps and answer a number of story-related questions (for example, more attention is paid to the color of Azaries’ eyes and its role in the plot). So, now you can enjoy the old part of the story with new vibrant colors and exciting newly implemented story fragments!

3) Total rework of the beginning of the Chapter One. There are too many “total reworks”, don’t you think? But top quality is our priority, so we’ve decided to take all the necessary time to improve and polish the existing content as well as get rid of unfortunate story gaps and outdated lore concepts. We’ve scheduled adding a substory and several new class branches in High Circles location. Also, new scenes were added, and the existing ones got redesigned (check out the scene where Azaries first meets ahnor).

4) Graphic tweaks to the combat system. Existing attack animations were reworked, and the new ones were added to the roster. Now the negative status effects have become more distict and they have dedicated description. Combat interface got tweaked and remodeled. Balance has been revamped and corrected.

5) Full Ukrainian localization (text only)! Currently, the translation is 70% complete, but it will be finished soon. Implementing our native language is a matter of pride and honor, so try it out!

6) Dozens of tweaks and QoL improvements.

We’ve done a massive amount of work trying to balance between the necessity to add more exciting new content to the game for our patrons and the desire to polish the game for Indie Cup 2022. But we’ve finally made it! Yaay!

New update is scheduled to be released in the nearest future, so stay tuned! Moreover, we highly recommend you starting a new game in order to experience all those great tweaks and upgrades we’ve implemented! Even more exciting adventures for Azaries!

Thank you so much for your continuous support!
