Hello players,

With this update I address the clarity of some interactions. There have been complaints about how in the third level there are some objects don't tell the player that they can be interacted with.

• Floating rocks with crystals now have a floating animation.

• Gates that can be lifted now have a green crystal in the middle.

Besides this, in level 1, in the part where you unlock Fireball, I changed the color of the last panel to black, so you can more comfortably move around once you solve the "secret" puzzle.

I also updated the demo. I'll admit I am guilty of having ignored it before release since I was considering to take it down, but I changed my mind just before release.

Changes in the demo:

• There were some gates that you couldn't freeze, typically they are timed and close very quickly. They are to avoid some common softlocks, and are now red in the demo as well.

• There is also a pop-up message that communicates this in-game.

• The same changes I mentioned earlier are in the demo as well.

That's all, enjoy playing Runa Illustra!

Hello readers,

Today marks a very special moment for me: Runa Illustra is finally released after two years of development!

This project has been a huge part of my life, and I’m incredibly proud to share it with the world. At its heart, Runa Illustra is a puzzle game with an experimental drawing mechanic that lets you manually draw runes to cast spells and solve challenges. If you enjoy games like Portal or The Talos Principle, I think you’ll feel right at home here.

Over the past two years, I’ve met so many amazing people, both at events and online, and I’ve had an absolute blast bringing this world to life. Looking back, I’m grateful for every step of the journey.

Now, with the game finally out in the wild, it’s time for me to start a new chapter. I’ve been experimenting with some new ideas already, and I’ll definitely share more when I have something to show.

Until then, I hope you enjoy Runa Illustra. Thank you so much for being here and supporting this little adventure of mine.

- Marco
