Hello everyone,

It's october 2023, so time for a new update on the Runes of Aereal.
A lot of work has been done this time, mostly based on feedback of the community.

In terms of consistency of look and feel, I've changed quite some visual assets. The spellbooks and crafting items have had an overhaul, as you can see in the screenshot below. I've added hints for them as well, where as that wasn't the case up until now.

The crafting interface has also been improved, and now allows to upgrade multiple scrolls in one session. A lot of pesky bugs have been fixed here.

Also, the runes have had an upgrade, and I've provided them with a name and some extra lore.

Based on community feedback, I also revamped the shop interface. Basically, made it much easier. Instead of working with baskets, there's the possiblity to sell items just by clicking on it, and also buying items while clicking on them, as long as there are sufficient funds.

A new boss creature has been introduced : the Phoenix. A nice bird like creature with nice animations.

I really got a lot of feedback from playtesters, community and marketing (thanks guys!).
I'm on a mission to evaluate and implement a lot of them, and a lot of work has been done here already. Especially all of those bugs you don't encounter if you created the game, and don't assume people are going to do things out of the ordinary.

Next up is to have some kind of tutorial. I see a lot of people struggling with the mechanics, so a tutorial will be a useful addition, in my opinion. That's to come in november, so stay tuned people!

Cheers!

Hello everyone,

I'm excited to share with you, the new stuff added to Runes of Aereal for the month of September '23!

First of all, there's a brand new island named Fairie Glen. A nice new island with 6 new cities you can explore.

Next to that, some more collectables were added to the game, this time the 7 deadly sins. Some nice new cards to gather as you play the game.

Another new trait has been implemented : the Blind trait. As the name suggests it's the ability to blind all enemies every 8 turns. There's a nice new button in the interface, and also an indicator by the creature to indicate it is blind. When a creature is blind, it will miss you when it shoots a projectile.

Lastly I would like to mention that achievements were also added to the game. Not too many for the moment, but much more to come. I was just setting up the system, and testing some achievements as I move along with the development. I hope you like them!

Apart from that of course a lot of polishing, bugfixing, but also some new female incantations in case you pick a female hero, some new cards, and the timetraveler trait, which lets you go back to the start of the battle every 20 turns.

I'll be bringing more goods next month, so make sure keep a look out.

Cheers!
