New Chapters Trailer + Release Outline! (Patreon)

That's right!! The end is not the end! We're only halfway through, baby!! Evoria is getting a whole whopping 10 new chapters to complete its story!

There's a whole lot more stuff coming, but this'll all start with-

CHAPTER 11

Disaster strikes... Naomi's friends are gone. But, with enough determination... Can she bring them back...?

I've been actively working on this chapter for a WHILE now, and I'm super excited to finally show it off! It'll still be a while before it's ready for release, but progress is coming along very well! It's shaping up to be one of if not the longest chapter in the game so far, so get ready for that!

But like you saw in the trailer, Chapter 11 isn't the only new chapter coming! There aren't any set-in-stone release dates (We usually don't know when something'll be ready until like a week beforehand haha) but here's the planned order of release for everything coming in the future:

Each line on this schedule will be released as a separate update! As you can see, there's a few new sidequest updates coming that weren't shown off in the trailer! Plus, a few chapters will be paired to release together! (This is mainly to pair a super short chapter with a longer one.)

Listed here is everything I have planned for the future of Evoria. I really mean it when I say that Chapter 20 genuinely is the final chapter of the game. Now that Chapter 10 is out, I want to be a lot more transparent about the planned release schedule in the future. (In retrospect, I should've just been vague about Chapter 10 being the "ending" instead of outright saying anything but oh well, live and learn...)

I've had this sort of "finale that's not the finale" for Chapter 10 planned since I came up with the idea for Evoria! Here's an excerpt from an older "full story outline" doc from 2023-

A lot of things have changed since then, but it's kinda funny that I kept the credits theme the same! I am very much a "plan ahead" sort of guy, and while some smaller plot details may change as I work on the game, the broad strokes and arcs for all the main characters have been outlined for years now! Now all I have to do is cross my fingers that everything'll flow smoothly...

These new chapters will all be a part of the main Evoria game. There were talks about possibly separating Chapters 11-20 into a "sequel" project, but in order to keep all the sidequests, museum exhibits, and adventurer's database entries in one place, I decided it'd work better if Evoria was one massive 20-Chapter game.

I'm so excited to finally have this reveal out for the public! It's been agony keeping all of this secret for so long! (Especially when I was working on stuff like the combat overhaul- It wouldn't make sense to rewrite everything right before the final chapter but since we're only halfway, hopefully it makes more sense!) Plus, now that all those overhauls are done, I've personally made a rule not to go back and remake ANYTHING else from earlier chapters! (I guess I could do like a small one-line tweak or bugfix but NOTHING MORE!) My sole job at this point is just to work on NEW content!!

When I first started working on this game, I knew I wanted it to be a big thing that I'd be working on for years to come, but Evoria has really grown into something I'm incredibly proud of. Let's see it through to the end!
