Elea is getting a new AppID!

Elea - Episode 1

Experience the surreal story of Elea. In this episodic first-person Sci-Fi adventure you play as a space scientist recovering your lost husband. Venture out on a curious interstellar journey, full of devastating memories and startling secrets.

Hi everyone! Over the last year, Elea has changed quite a lot. We got through Early Access, released on Xbox and next week the PS4 version will launch. With the release of the PS4 version on [i][b]July 25th[/b][/i], all the improvements Kyodai has made for the console versions will be implemented back into the Steam version. However, this means that current save games are no longer compatible with the new version of the game. To make sure noone loses their old save games, and everyone still gets to play the latest version, we've created a new AppID for Elea, which means there's a new store page and library listing for that version. After launch on the 25th, the store page for the old Elea will be hidden, and only the new version will be available for purchase. It will remaind available to play for everyone who owns it before then. [b]So to recap:[/b] [list] [*]A new library listing and store page for Elea will launch on July 25th. This means you'll then have Elea in your Steam library twice. Both will remain playable. [*]For everyone currently playing Elea; don't worry, you can continue playing the old Elea with your current save game. [*]For everyone who wants to try the latest version; you'll automatically find the new Elea in your library on [i][b]July 25th[/b][/i]. [/list] We want to thank you all for your support. It's been a great experience and we hope you've enjoyed the evolution of Elea as well so far! The new Store Page for Elea can be found here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1122150/ [b]So what's changed in this new version of Elea? Here's the Patch Notes:[/b] [list] [*]New asynchronous save system with more checkpoints (almost double in number) is implemented. It’s faster, stutterfree and way more secure. [*]A new dynamic lighting system is introduced in the game. It uses volumetric lights and effects, and makes the realistic PBR shaders in the game to shine in their complete beauty. [*]The PC version is optimized to make use of the new generation of video cards, allowing users to play at very high FPS and benefit from better shadows, anti aliasing, anisotropic filtering, screen space reflections and post-processes profiles. [*]New scenes are introduced in the game. [*]New object highlight mechanic is introduced (this was heavily suggested by players). [*]The memory management is improved and this leads to faster loading and better overall performance. [*]A lot of new visual effects, assets and sounds are introduced. [*]There is a new option, that allows players to skip conversations / subtitles (this option can be controlled via the settings screen). [*]We’ve updated all interaction icons and the whole experience in the game worlds. [*]The localization is updated. [*]Overall there are more than 200 bug fixes and additions. [/list] See ya! -Bas
