Divinia Chronicles: Relics of Gan-Ti News

Hi folks,

Thanks guys for your faith and support in the development of Divinia Chronicles, we wouldn’t be here without you!


In the past months the team has been working hard on the upcoming chapters of Divinia Chronicles, however we realized that it’s better to ship the next two chapters together as a unit; we believe both chapters are tied well together in terms of storytelling and pacing and thus should be experienced in one / two game sessions.

While we are still a couple of weeks away from unlocking the new chapters, today we want to start off with a major update of first three chapters and lay out road map for the next month:


As of today we updated the early access build to v0.92e, which includes completely re-written dialogues, added treasure chests & collectables, refined environments / animations / combat and balancing. For the full change list click here. The focus of this update is to polish the existing content for new players. For existing players, you are welcome to try out the new version, however we do recommend to hold on for some weeks and start over once the big update is out.


We plan to ship the next two chapters within the next weeks. This update will increase the scope of the game dramatically; You may wander around the island freely, befriend the elemental spirit of earth, make use of its destructive magic and face fierce adversaries and powerful creatures from the deep forests and the ancient crystal mine. Not afraid of spoilers?
Follow us on social media to see and comment on our latest development progress here


After the two chapters are released we plan to update the store profile and release a new trailer; we don’t want to spend time on that prior release, so please bear with the old trailer until then.


Around the same time, we will be also offering the official Divinia Chronicles OST via Steam. It will be designed to be a “buy soundtrack or buy us a coffee” option for everyone who wishes to give us extra support in the upcoming development progress. As we want to reward our early buyers, we want to give the sound track free of charge to all existing users. For this, please stay tuned for further announcements as we need to check out how to actually do this technically ;-)

Any ideas or comments? As usually please post your feedback in the steam discussion board or stalk us on social media :-D

We love you!

Hello everyone!

As you all know (or maybe not) last week we released our game with the Early Access program! It's been an ultra-busy week for us, and of course some things didn't go as expected.

However, in a couple days we will give you an announcement regarding the roadmap for the game, and in the meantime we want to reassure you about our dedication to the game.

We will have to kinds of updates: regular and major.


Will involve new chapters for the game, huge changes in game mechanics, and major new features. These updates will happen "when they're ready", that means that we will announce them as soon as we have something to announce!


Will involve bug fixes, small new features, corrections, game balancing and so on, and will happen every 1st of the month!

I'd also like to remember to all of you that we are a small team, with a great passion but with a limited time. We are literally doing our best to bring you Divinia Chronicles in his final and completed form as soon as we can, but we need your help!
By buying Divinia in his current state, you're helping us speed up the development process, and by telling us all the bugs you find and all the suggestions you have, you're contributing in making this game always better!

We love you!

Current version is v.092a, which includes the first three chapters of the game and Celena, the elemental spirit of the light (See Early Access description for more details). Please excuse the delay in sending out the update & keys to our media list, we wanted to first get the store online so that everyone can join the early access if he wants to.

From today on this will be our main platform for all news and updates related to the game. All your ideas and suggestions are most welcome! Please do drop us comments here or write your thoughts in the discussion board - Only by gaining valuable feedback we were able to make it this far.

As we are a small indie studio, our biggest challenge is that nobody knows our game. So if you like our game please do tell your friends or follow us on social media - this would help us a lot.
