  • Fully voiced dialogs including some characters fully re-voiced like Ayla
  • 2 new Star Guardians : Sculptor & Monoceros
  • New Musics including orchestral records and featuring of vocalist Emi Evans
  • Countless polishes, balances & bug-fixes! (more than 400 tasks done on our side)


As you can see, we have invested all our incomes from the Early Access directly into the game to make it the best possible game we could do which means we are going to release with close to no marketing budget and we are counting on you to spread the word about the game!

[hr][/hr]
The more success the game will have, the more updates we will make and we have so many ideas already!





[h2]Slight game price adjustment[/h2]
We did not change game price since its Early Access release but the game is so much bigger than initially planned and we have adjusted the price slightly.

Have an excellent day and thank you so much for your support!

The Telluric Telescope Update is Live! 🌠

We went bigger than what we expected for this update, the Update is adding a various range of new elements mainly focused on extending runs variety!

Full Patch-Notes of 0.47
https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1280930/view/3690190742433248908

The Telluric Telescope

Sier Bapy has a surprise, he repaired a precious telescope that can absorb cosmic energy.



Everyday you can select 1 bonus among 3 different ones so each run feels even more unique! It can also help you decide which build you will try to do during your run and make you experiment with builds you are not used to!

There is more than 50 different bonuses to choose from :

    [*] First spell you equip is duplicated and replaces all your spells
    First Aura you find in Yalee Kingdom is Astral
    Increase Damage on full life enemies by 100%
    When starting an escape, gains 5 Critical Stones
    Summoning an Echo gives you a random buff
    Reduces by 30 the life cost of Pavo sacrifices
    etc.



Once equiped, your bonus will be displayed on your portrait -


Echoes Extension

We have improved Echoes and extended their number, from 15 Echoes to 31! We have also reworked their preview visuals to better represation of what they are about and to better distinguish each one.


In order to keep finding the Echoes you like more frequently we have increased the options pool from 3 to 4!


Preview of some of the new Echoes -


Elemental Summons
All Zodiac Summons are now linked to an effect, same for Echoes. Together Zodiacs and Echoes summons cover all existing effects in the game.


Taurus will now give 4 Spirit Swords


Pisces now spawn Ice Swords on hit


Capricorn summon will also create Meteors during its summon.

We have also improved interface visuals of Zodiacs summon chests -



New Void boss - Hydra
Hydra is joining Pegasus, Lupus & Draco as Void Bosses, 2 new ones will come for Final Release. Hydra manipulates the elements and is a dangerous foe, be careful!



Andromeda's Trials

We have reworked some existing Trials that were too easy, we think it is fine for Trials to be a bit hard because you have no punishment for failing them. We have also created many new Trials, from 8 to 17.
Here are some new ones -


Oops we did it again... 84 new auras!

So... yes we have added 84 new Auras to the game with a lot of new Astral ones. To better enjoy them we have also increased the drop chances of Astral Auras because we think they were too rare and that it's fun to be able to build around them from early game.

We tried to create fun Astral Auras, we re-used some effects from Common Spells for a few Astral Auras making you build chain-reaction builds with impressive visuals!

These new Auras greatly increase build potentials and most of them require you to create builds around them and do not work by themselves which works perfectly with the increased drop chances.



We are also making a lot of progress on Final Release and we are going super big for it, we cannot wait to show you all surprises we are working on!

As always we hope you enjoy this update, if you do don't hesitate to leave us a Steam review, we are getting very close of the 1000 reviews which was our objective before Final Release! ✨

Have a great day and upcoming week-end,
