Qorena News

We have made an important announcement regarding all of our products actively being sold on all digital storefronts. Any that use Unreal Engine it are extremely affected.

The COMPLETE article can be read here.

For those of you who are too busy or too lazy to read a two-page long sermon on what is happening, here is the TL:DR version:

We have decided to do what many developers may consider "the unthinkable", or even "the utterly insane". From this day forth, we will begin the process to convert ALL of our projects using any of the Unreal Engines into NON-COMMERCIAL ones or switch engines.

• ALL games using UE currently on storefronts will become FREE.
  
  
• ALL games using UE we have currently in development that meets or exceeds 50% of progress will also be released for FREE.
  
  
• ALL games using UE we have currently in development that exceeds below 50% of progress will be RESTARTED using a DIFFERENT engine. Our engine of choice will depend on the project type, platforms, and the scope.
  
  
• ANY new games we have planned on lineup but not yet started will be using a DIFFERENT engine.
  

We are MOVING FAR AWAY from Unreal Engine and abandoning Epic Games. We are moving on to greener pastures.

The 2022 Steam Winter Sale is here! Qorena is 10% off from now until March 23!

It has been a while since this game was updated. Important fixes to the game has been applied along with a major graphical revamp.

• The map cycle feature has been fixed completely. You can now add any maps you desire into the cycle and they will be played in the order of top to bottom (and rinse and repeat).
  
• You can now play levels in rotating fashion in Instant Action just as you can in online Multiplayer. Initially, you could only play the 1st level from the cycle which would restart that same level after each match.
  
• Restore Upgrades on Death finally works.
  
• Cloud storage saves are now properly functional for Qorena. The old Maze Qore Arena cloud storage is deprecated from this game.
  

• Campaign Update - Play a series of mission packs alone or with friends in the new Campaign mode!
  
• Level Editor - Create your own custom levels for survival mode, or mission packs for campaign mode!
  

We hope you will enjoy playing Qorena more than we did working on it. There will be a sale coming soon in the Summer. Wishlist us on Steam for updates on sales and more updates like this.

[h2]NEW FEATURES[/h2]

[h3]Improved Spectator Menu[/h3]

Players can now access spectator mode at the pause menu. This will undeploy the player. If you wish to join the fray again, click Play on the spectator panel. Assuming "Allow Late Join" is enabled in settings, the player will deploy instantly, otherwise they will be deployed in the next peacetime interval.

[h3]Map Cycle List[/h3]

You can now add levels into the map cycle list. This list will also be used to switch to a new map from the Spectator Menu, so add the ones you wish to switch between in your server.

[h3]Music[/h3]
The game now features sequential music, relative to certain levels.

[h3]Config Presets[/h3]
You can find this in the game's installation directory >> Config >> Presets.
Make a backup, adjust your parameters, and update configurations in your App Data directory. Instructions are in the presets folder.

[h2]PLANNED FEATURES: POST-RELEASE[/h2]

[h3]Mod Support[/h3]
This was originally planned in this release, however that proved to be too ambitious to work on, especially when we are still not convinced enough players will care for the game enough to justify it, so we moved it to post-release. We will only work on it, if and when we can see reasonable player activity in the game. A good (but not the sole) indicator for us if the game unlocks the ability to use trading cards.

IMPORTANT: FOR EARLY-ACCESS OWNERS

A LOT has changed since the overhaul. You will have to reinstall your game for the latest changes to take effect. The new installation folder changed from "Maze Qore Arena" to "Qorena". Mannequin saves may also break so be sure to back those up before you uninstall and reinstall.

That is all. Hope you all enjoy playing this game.
