📰 The Ahra Prime Times – Week 3

[h2]👋 Greetings, Survivors of Ahra Prime[/h2][h2][/h2][h2]☵ The Ahra Prime Times – Update Preview Edition[/h2][p]Today’s issue is a shortened one — I’ve just wrapped up work on the new game update: version 0.9.7.8, and tomorrow we’ll likely publish updage and a full announcement detailing the major changes, engine migration, and improvements.[/p][p][/p][h2]☵ The HIRAETH Update[/h2][p]The new version will first appear in Early Access, either as a standard major update or in a separate branch — your choice. A few days later, the demo will also be updated to match.[/p][p]After countless hours of testing across multiple intermediate builds, we’re proud to report that in-game crashes have been eliminated — something that was impossible on the previous engine version![/p][p]For those curious about the chaotic adventure of migrating to a new engine, you can read more on our Discord: 🔗 Migration Story[/p][p][/p][h2][/h2][h2]🏁 Training Center Speedrun Contest – Winner Announcement[/h2][p][/p][p]The undisputed champion of our latest speedrun challenge is DreXor, with a nearly unbeatable time of: 15 hours, 2 minutes, and 36 seconds 🔗 DreXor’s Steam Profile[/p][p][/p][p]Why are the seconds important? Because last week’s winner, Figurine, clocked in at: 15 hours, 2 minutes, and 59 seconds — a mere 23 seconds behind![/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink]DreXor receives a Steam key for the game and the honorary 💎 Community Trailblazer 👨🏻‍🚀 role on Discord. This isn’t a prize for winning — it’s a recognition of his ongoing contributions to the game and community. DreXor is not only a player, but a dedicated tester and real-world supporter of the project. That’s especially meaningful as Steam payouts only begin two months after launch — and as you can see, the work never stops![/p][p][/p][p]He’s also a great friend and teammate — and his result? Legendary ːp2cubeː[/p][p][/p][p]Due to the intense workload around the new engine version, there’s no new contest this week, but we hope to resume them soon.[/p][p][/p][p]Thanks for your patience — and see you tomorrow for the full update announcement! We may also release a special midweek edition of The Ahra Prime Times to dive deeper into the changes and what’s next for Hiraeth.[/p][p][/p][p]Stay strong, Paweł[/p]
