MannaRites Gold is finally available in Early Access!
Time to unsheathe your sword again and show 'em how it's done! ⚔️

Get the gaime right here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2509720/MannaRites_Gold/

What's different about Gold version, you may ask? Well, here's a short list:

• Better combat system - I've reworked the combat system substantially, it's not more engaging, more dynamic and more tactical
  
• Improved AI - you'll find that enemies are much smarter now!
  
• Complete GFX overhaul - game now looks much better, and sometimes even gorgeous!
  
• New RPG system - there are 4 types of weapon for every character, and 4 skill branches. Almost all combat moves are now available from the start (you don't need to "unlock" arrows deflection anymore)
  
• Online multiplier is coming - it won't be available at the start, but it'll arrive some time during EA
  Interactive items - throw barrels, stones and javelins at enemies. It's fun =)
  
• A couple of new levels, puzzles and new mechanics here and there, no biggie
  
• Some of existing levels (especially boss encounters) were HEAVILY remastered (in some cases - redone from scratch)
  
• New items, potions and armor types, along with tons of new weapons!
  
• new COOP features - Golden Axe 3-style cooperative attacks
  
• in COOP if you partner dies - you don't have to replay the whole level again anymore 😊 As long as one of you alive - the battle continues!
  
• MAGUS and his magics were completely overhauled, it's a VERY different character now! + I've added a ton of new spellbooks for him
  
• ... and lots of other stuff - QoL included!

Hey guys, long time no see! 😊

It's not like I was being lazy or anything - in fact, for the last couple of years I've been working hard on MannaRites Gold - a new (and superior imo) version of MannaRites, which will - in my view - finally be worthy of asking people to pay for it! All the proceedings will be directed into MannaRites 2 development 😊

If you liked the original game - wishlist the GOLD version now, and I promise you - you won't be disappointed! ❤️ If you didn't like the original game - try the new one, it's better in almost every aspect!

Heeey! 👋
I'm happy to introduce the final regular update to MannaRites - Adrenaline Update! 🎉
This update finally brings the version of the game to 1.0, which means that the game is finally complete with all the planned features and content! 👊😊 (Well, almost all the planned features)

[h3]What's new in this update?[/h3]

• New playable character - Kellet the Monk, martial artist. He's using adrenaline to power his abilities, and he's definitely not the guy to mess with! 😊 As he gains adrenaline by attacking or blocking, his attack speed increases and he's able to use either offensive ability - "lightning strikes", a series of devastating strikes, - or defensive ability - "healing seal", which heals everybody around Monk (including enemies!). He also have other unique features, such as offensive quick getup, slide tackle etc. - check him out, he's a lot of fun!
  
• Improvements for Wizard - character from the previous update, check him out as well 😊
  
• Community content - new enemies and new game mode. Check it out in the "Community" section of the Main Menu!
  
• New long-awaited (probably 😊) "Beer Quest" and a bunch of new potions (along with the new system of recharging potions - some potions can be drunk multiple times per level now). Find the special beer roots on the repeatable levels and brew the strongest Root Beer you can think of!
  
• Ambushes! ⚔️ Now it's not that safe to traverse the Ijmeria island in the open map mode! Enemies are looking for you, beware
  
• New levels in both Campaign and Adventure Mode
  
• Gazillion of minor bugs fixed (prob added a couple of new ones in the process 🤦‍♂️)
  
• 5 new Steam achievements. We all love achievements, right?
  
• The final mission now shows the amount of completed side-quests. For those who complete the main campaign with 100% of side-quests done - a little surprise after the final cutscene 😊
  

Here's a short teaser of the new update:

-------------------

A bit on future plans. I will do the Linux build and, after a bit of work, an improved Android build, but generally speaking I'm finally stepping away from the Chapter 1 to concentrate on working on Chapter 2 (and possible other projects in parallel). I'll still support Chapter 1 and fix the bugs (if any of them dares to show up), but I'm not planning any major content updates for this game any time soon.

[h3]Well it's been quite a ride![/h3] 😊
Almost four years ago I've posted the very first gameplay video of MannaRites (back then it was MannaRocks actually 😂, it can still be found here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIxxm5RGch0 And now look at us - full-featured and released game! 🎉 I can't even begin to express my gratitude to you guys for playing MannaRites, leaving positive reviews and sharing feedback! For you it's probably just another game in your massive Steam library, but for me it was an infinite source of joy and motivation to grow, to continue making games of my own!
Thank you for this incredible experience, which I will carry with me for the rest of my life! ❤️
