Poetic Pandemonium update!
[p][/p][p]We hope your summer is going great, on our side we are back with a new major update! ːzagplsːTake a look to the full Patch Notes below -
[dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p][/p]
Hub Customization
[p]A new NPC appeared in The Garden, The Yalee Builder!
We hesitated for a long time to call this NPC "Leonardo Da Yalee" but thought it may not be fitting very well with the rest of the game, but at least you know it now haha
But while making this new system it appeared to us that a Sun Piece payment for these changes was not the best option because : [/p]
- [p]New players could favorize Decorations over meta progression making them weaker for chosing this[/p]
- [p]It will unbalance the overall meta progression[/p]
- [p]People would only buy a few elements they really want and not have many elements to choose from[/p]
- [p]People with a lot of sun pieces would still exhaust the options very very fast and still be super rich[/p]
But we will find ways to spend the Sun Pieces for late game players no worries!
There is 7 Decorations families [/p]
[p]Under the Moon[/p]
[p]Inside the Reef[/p]
[p]Deep in the Dune[/p]
[p]Beyond Soft Melancholia[/p]
[p]In the Observatory[/p]
[p]Near the Pinnacle[/p]
[p]Behind Parnassus[/p]
Here are a few examples -[/p][p]
13 new spells -
[p][/p][p]Ayla, Kiran, Calie & Octave are getting 2 new spells and many of you asked for Yamat to get more spells as she had a bit less than the others so we gave her 5 new spells instead of 2 ːtaffyː[/p][h2]Ayla Spells[/h2]- [p]N360 Death Lotus[/p]

We have also addressed many bugs reported by the community and we will keep fixing more with time![/p][p][/p]
What is coming next?
[p][/p][p]You may have noticed that our updates 2.1 and 2.2 have been a slightly smaller than previous updates and that is partly because we are preparing the Kickstarter campaign launching in September for our new game Fallen Fates, if you haven't already do not hesitate to follow the Kickstarter campaign as we will have a lot of reveals and exciting things during the campaign!But we have also been having new team members who had to take their marks on Astral Ascent which is a huge project now!
So our plan for the future is not to slow down but on the opposite trying to make a lot of new content and improvements to the game you love and that we love just as much ːzimzimSmileː We already have a ton of ideas for partnerships with great games, features and more!
We often said that as long as the game keeps selling we will keep making updates and the love and support you are showing is truly motivating us a lot!
If you ever want to support us you can leave a review on the game or on the DLCs pages and talk to your friend about the game, thanks again!!! ːzagplsː[/p][p][/p][h2]Steam Workshop[/h2][p]
In order to have a better idea of what you would like to do, we would love to hear from the creative modders out there to hear you and see what you would like to be able to do, in order to do that we have created an event channel on our Discord server where you can suggest your ideas and upvote the others suggestions!
There will be things we won't be able to do but we will try our best to take extra attention to what was upvoted the most.[/p][p][/p][h2]Animals Charity DLC[/h2][p][/p][p]If you follow our currently announced roadmap (we will need to update it at some point when we define more precisely what is next) our next update will be the Animals Charity DLC!
This DLC has been inspired to us by the Paws & Claws DLC from the great Children of Morta and they announce of their DLC page that they collected more than 460 000 $ for their association to protect animals!
We love animals ourselves, you can see below some of the team cats member we shared on August 8th for the cat international day![/p][p]
We felt like this initiative was amazing and absolutely wanted to run a similar campaign to get money for animals Charity so we asked people of Dead Mage and they were happy we would follow their steps and try to gather money for charity too![/p][p]
We have checked different associations and we ended up having an excellent contact with One Voice who are actively fighting for animals rights and protection internationally!
In order to help them save animals, we are collaborating and we will give them 100% of the revenue generated by this upcoming DLC so we hope it will work nicely to support them as much as possible ːzagplsː[/p][p][/p][p]About the game content itself, we already have a lot of ideas but we still need to finalize them. What we know is that we would rework the bottom right part of the hub to make a shelter for animals and the animals would be able to follow you during your runs and should provide different bonuses that should not be locked the animals themselves so you can select your favorite animal and your favorite bonus separately, here is a concept we worked on to pitch to One Voice - [/p][p][/p][p]
We hope that weither it is for the gameplay part or for supporting the charity for animals this DLC will be making everyone happy!!
