June 2025 Developer Update
Greetings soldiers of Genua! June is shaping up to be a crazy month as our developers put the finishing touches on our expanded demo and a few of us pack our bags to head out to Edmonton for Game Con Canada next week!
Last month we talked about the new combat system you'll get to experience in the expanded demo and final release and since then, we've made a TON of progress:
What's coming up this month?
Can't wait to share the new gameplay with all of you soon, we'll keep incorporating your feedback and finding new ways to bring the magical world of Ianua to life :)
Take a look at some of our gorgeous new screenshots of Ruiners Pass! You'll explore this area in Chapter 1 right after the Prologue in Lendene.
If you're heading to Game Con Canada from 6/13-6/15, come stop by Booth A05 and say hi! We are so excited to talk to everyone about Aegis Force and share an early preview of Ruiners Pass for attendees who play the demo during the conference. Once Game Con is done, we'll also share the new exploration build with our Discord community before the expanded demo is released in July. Make sure you join the Discord today so you get the first look!
With everything else going on with development and preparing for Game Con Canada, we didn't do a stream or developer Youtube video this month, but we'll share some Youtube content later this month and get back on our regular schedule in July!
Now that we've made a ton of improvements to the foundational game mechanics (combat, character screens, UI, etc.), we can keep developing new chapters and explorable areas for the final game. Follow us on social media and Discord to keep in touch with us and be the first ones to know when new content is available!
Thank you all again for playing, sharing your thoughts, and engaging with us!
Until next month, FOR GENUA!
