We're excited to share the latest update for Zoria: Age of Shattering. Our team has been working non-stop to bring you changes and improvements that'll make your gaming experience even better. This month we'd like to share what's new regarding camera & control systems, armor, outpost systems, and more! So, let's dive right in and see what's new 😁

[h2]Camera and Controls [/h2]
The camera will now have a smoother motion and auto-rotation toward the movement direction. Plus, we've added alternative keyboard movement controls for those who prefer this control style to the mouse-click-only control. The camera collision system will work better now, and a new see-through camera obstruction feature will ensure an unobstructed view.

Trees will no longer block your view! They will now disappear and won't block your sight 🌲👀



[h2]Armor Tweaks [/h2]
Armor changes will be visible on the 3D models of the main character and followers! We've also categorized current armor sets into Light, Medium, Hardened, and Heavy, as well as by rarity: Common, Uncommon, Rare, Exotic, and Epic. We'll add even more armor designs in future updates.



[h2]Outposts System [/h2]
We've added a couple of new outposts in the game, e.g., the "Lucky Dog Inn" and the "Moon Flower Burrow." The "Lucky Dog Inn" will be your go-to spot for quests and recruiting followers, while the "Moon Flower Burrow" will be perfect for resting and recovering 😊



[h2]Difficulty Settings [/h2]
There's a new system that will let you choose the difficulty of the game. This will affect things like Enemy HP, Enemy stats influencing damage and resistances, and Enemy abilities. We decided on three classic levels of gameplay difficulty: Easy, Normal, and Hard. Pick whichever suits you best!


Additionally, Neles – Zoria's Producer and Quest Writer - is currently representing Tiny Trinket games at the Reboot Develop Blue in Dubrovnik, meeting with other game developers, exchanging experiences, and of course, introducing Zoria to a new public 😊

Until next time!

After careful consideration, we came to the conclusion that Zoria doesn't need Early Access, because we're ready to make a Full Release this September.

Let's fill you in on which arguments helped us make this decision.


[h2]Content Evaluation [/h2]

We've been working on Zoria tirelessly for some time now. There are surely creators among you that know the feeling (or rather a need) of polishing your project until you think it's perfect. The truth is, the inner critic might never tell you you got there 😉

We evaluated our latest milestone and realized that Zoria is so close to being completed that putting it on Early Access would only water down our progress. Launching Zoria in EA would mean launching an incomplete game for a few months when in reality, we only need a few months to finish the game.

Can be treated as a metaphor for us being close to finishing the game. Also, a nice screenshot.

[h2]Zoria is not that type of game [/h2]

Early Access has its benefits, don't get us wrong - that's why we considered it in the first place. Zoria has been in development for some time now, and we were eager to finally show it to you. But games that benefit from EA are hugely the ones that provide service. From the very beginning, we designed Zoria to be a complete, single-player adventure. We want you to be able to fully immerse yourself in the fantasy world of Zoria without the need to turn a blind eye to unpolished elements.

And finally, the argument that appealed to us the most.


[h2]Delivering Full Release sooner [/h2]

By launching Zoria in Early Access, we'd need to change our focus from finishing the game to hotfixing and bugfixing. Instead, we can stay on track and instead release the game sooner. In fact, we made an honest calculation and decided that Zoria: Age of Shattering will launch on September 19th, 2023.

We got excited to get your reactions and feedback to Zoria ASAP, as it'd be an invaluable source of information and a boost of encouragement. But you can still do that by following us on Twitter and Facebook or joining our Discord server ⚔️ At the end of the day, we're working with playtesters as well as with members of our wonderful community (thank you!) to make the most magical experience possible.



Thank you all for your continuous support. See you soon in the next update!
