Aura of Worlds News

Hey adventurers!

Just wanted to give a shout-out to the Youtubers and Streamers who have covered Aura of Worlds over the past month.

It's all been quite positive so far.
They've helped build awareness for the project, as well as providing feedback which has and still is being used to refine the game.

Hi folks,

We've been listening to your feedback and suggestions over the past two weeks and have been updating the game accordingly :)

• Four New runes:
  
  
  • Sharpness
    
  • Shadow
    
  • Reflective-Roll
    
  • Double-Jump.
    
  
  
  
• Fortune rune now causes enemies/chests to drop additional money; instead of applying a flat discount. Vases and crates drop less money.
  
• You can now interrupt dodge rolling half way; with a jump.
• Controls:
  
  
  
  • Grid inventory and pause button are swapped on controller by default.
    
  • All standard buttons are rebindable including pause.
    
• Bug fixes:
  
  
  
  • Skeleton heads properly trigger dart traps even when attached
    
  • No more out of boomerang prompts while waiting for the last one thrown to return.
    
  • Can no longer shield bash the object you're carrying.
    
  • No gap at base of rising lava texture
    
  • Fixed ugly texture gaps on hud bars; when swapping from a higher resolution back to native (1066x600) res.
    
  • Various other.
    
• A.I.:
  
  
  
  • Slimes now attack 33% faster; but regular slimes can only damage you during their jumping attacks.
    
  • Jellyfish have a telegraph animation.
    
  • Fewer enemies deal contact damage; and those that do (e.g. giant slimes) have revised rules including an added delay before applying that attack.
    
  • Mages are smarter and will avoid teleporting into obvious traps like lava or spears.
    
  
  
  
• Sound/graphics:
  
  
  
  • Improved support for higher resolutions. Title animations and coin prompt animations now scale properly.
    
  • Wall slide sound effect.
    
  • Engine support for looped sound.
    
  • Red "x" appears on items which are out of supplies/charges"
    
• Numerous other tweaks and balance changes...
