[p]Hello everyone!

This is the FromDawn Games team coming at you with Volume 11 of the Aeruta developer’s log!

One blazing hot afternoon in August, while our studio was as busy as ever, suddenly—an emergency alarm rang out from our phones.
Moments later, the ground shook violently, breaking the peaceful routine of our day...

Thankfully, nothing major happened, but it definitely added an unexpected thrill to our summer! 😅
(In fact, while writing this diary, we’ve already felt two more earthquakes!)

So between the scorching sun, the temptations of afternoon tea, the refreshing chill of cooling sprays, and surprise tremors, this summer has been full of unexpected twists.

And in the middle of all that, we’ve been working hard on the game—here’s the latest update![/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][h3]Enter the Underground Arena – Only the Strongest Survive! 🥊[/h3][p]Cracked stone walls, heavy suffocating air, and the roar of the crowd echoing across the ruins—
In the heart of this chaos, the Underground Arena finally opens its gates!

Here, Chaya will face none other than the monster who reigns as the absolute champion of this deadly coliseum.

With fists like steel, a storm of relentless combos, and the power to crush anyone who dares to challenge him...

Yes—it’s him.
Steel Fist Zoro! [/p][p]
[/p][h3]Discover the Truth About Patti – Befriend Them With Bread! 🍞[/h3][p]After years of research, we’ve finally uncovered more about the mysterious Patti!
They’re naturally social creatures who live in herds.

But once they grow up, they leave the group to find a new home and companions of their own.

Unfortunately, reality is harsh...
Over 86% of Patti get lost on their journey.[/p][p]Accustomed to the safety of their herd, they struggle alone, hiding in the grass and enduring hunger in solitude... 😭

Brave adventurers!
This is your chance to lend a helping hand! Approach them with bread, and they’ll happily join you as loyal companions.
(And yes, they’re soft, fluffy, and delightfully squishy!)

[/p][h3]A New Home for Patti – The Back Garden Ranch! 🎉[/h3][p]“Chaya! Another Patti snuck in through the back door and ate the bread again!!!”

The once-desolate backyard of the bakery has now been transformed—thanks to Chaya’s efforts—into a Patti paradise!
(Poor Effie was too busy baking bread to take care of the garden 💦)

Raise your Patti with love, and they’ll slowly grow up, eventually helping you in adventures—or even lending a paw at the bakery!

Look forward to it![/p][p][/p][carousel][/carousel][p] [/p][h3]Chaya Reaches New Heights – The Final Skill Awaits! 🦊✨[/h3][p]With all the adventures and bakery experience so far, Chaya’s abilities have grown in every direction.

And now, witnessing her progress, Chiva is ready to teach her the ultimate technique—
a true final skill, the culmination of everything learned so far.

Will you master nimble footwork to become a swift, agile adventurer?
Or unleash crushing strikes to carve new paths with raw power?
Or perhaps become a master of elegant, skillful combos?
The choice is yours.

Forge your path toward becoming the hero of tomorrow!
[/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][p][/p][p]That’s all for this diary... or is it?

Everything we shared today will be available in the upcoming Steam Playtest—before the official release!

That means:
・ A new map (partially unlocked)
・ A brand-new boss
・ The surprise-packed Patti Farm
・ And the third stage of the skill tree
All ready for you to try out early!
(Please note: This test is only for players who already own the Early Access version.)

This will be the last Playtest before the full release—so every bit of feedback,
no matter how small, will help us polish the final version.

The Playtest is coming very soon, so keep an eye on our announcements on X and Discord!

That’s all for the eleventh development diary.
See you all next month! 🦊💨

[p]Hello everyone!
This is the FromDawn Games team coming at you with Volume 10 of the Aeruta developer’s log!

The weather this July has been… intense.
If we’re not being toasted like burnt toast under the blazing sun, we’re getting completely soaked by sudden typhoons and torrential rain. The air is humid and sticky, and just walking a few steps feels like stepping out of a steamer… 💦

Amidst this hot and hectic month, we’ve reached a major milestone —
the successful completion of our Rapier Playtest! 🎉

A huge thank you to all the players who joined in.
Your feedback has been incredibly valuable and will help us refine the rapier
so that it shines with style in the full release ⚔️✨

In this dev diary, we’ll give you a peek at our latest progress and reveal some (possibly thrilling?) new content.

And of course! We'll wrap up with the promised Q&A section to answer your burning questions!
Let’s take a look together~ 📸✨
[hr][/hr]

• [h3]Entering the Forbidden Zone: Unveiling the Truth...[/h3]
  A once-bustling town now lies in ruins.
  As you delve deeper into the remains, the scenery shifts from lush greenery to landscapes corroded by decay.
  
  What kind of catastrophe befell this forbidden land? What fate does it reveal?
  Perhaps what lies ahead is a story of regret, forgotten pain, and intertwining destinies...
  
  
• [h3]Chilala's Major Breakthrough: A Brand-New Badge Appears! 💗[/h3]
  After rigorous testing and countless tweaks, Chilala has finally broken through her limits and crafted a brand-new, powerful badge!
  
  Whether you're a brave brawler or a tactical controller, you’ll find new ways to build your playstyle.
  
  Experiment freely and create a combat style all your own!
  
  
• [h3]More Inventions!? The Genius Researcher Returns! ✨[/h3]
  The genius Chilala, once a sensation at the capital’s academy, is back with her wild creativity! 💥
  
  This time, she’s applying a brand-new concept to weapons themselves…
  Yes — a whole new system is quietly taking shape!
  (Please kindly ignore that suspicious-looking contraption for now…)
  
  This system is still under development, but we hope it brings new surprises to your adventure. Stay tuned!
  
  

[h3]Q&A – Round Two [/h3]

• Q1：The Rapier Playtest was fun! Will there be a chance to try other bosses?
  
  Thanks for the love! Unfortunately, the Rapier Playtest has officially wrapped up ⚔️
  But our next test will be a bigger build, with much more content — stay tuned!
  
  
• Q2：Some badges feel too powerful. Will they be adjusted?
  
  Absolutely! We’re reviewing all the feedback and will be tuning the stats for badges and weapons.
  We aim to make every playstyle fun, balanced, and full of variety!
  
  
• Q3： Will the Watersong minigame get new tracks?
  
  We never expected the minigame to be such a hit! 😳
  
  While our current focus is still on the main game’s development,
  we’ll seriously consider updating tracks or even adding new minigames in the future!
  
  
• Q4：Is the "teacher" mentioned by Kocori and Tyreenss actually Effie's ancestor?
  
  Very sharp guess — yes!
  Here’s a little secret: Effie's tribe is the last surviving clan of white bears on the continent… and deeply tied to past events…
  
  
• Q5：Will there be more new characters?
  
  Definitely! We’re also adding quirky side characters, like the mysterious unseen postman, a powerful guild leader, and... ◯◯◯◯◯（secret for now 👀）
  

[hr][/hr]
That wraps up this month’s dev diary!
Answering your questions was a blast — many of your perspectives were ones we hadn’t considered, and the whole team felt inspired! 😲✨

We’ve also received many questions about the full release.
While there’s still a ways to go, we’ve started our first phase of testing and are steadily moving forward.
Maybe once the summer heat dies down a bit, we’ll be ready for the next Playtest, bringing us even closer to launch! 💪

Finally, thank you again to everyone who participated in the Rapier Playtest!
We received tons of helpful survey responses — many players mentioned concerns about control complexity, unclear descriptions, and overall balance…
Don’t worry, we’re already working on these improvements! 💪🦊


Please hang in there a bit longer — we’ll keep baking up the best breadventure yet! 🍞

That’s all for the tenth development diary.
See you all next month! 🦊💨
