Hello everyone! Today is a great day, because after 4,5 months of Early Access, Elea's v1.0 is now available! First off, I really want to thank you all for participating in the Early Access and helping us improve, shape and make Elea to what it is now. Just to emphasize what you've helped us achieve, here's a list of the most important changes and updates we've done in 10 huge updates over the Early Access period: [b]Gameplay[/b] A huge amount of gameplay changes have been implemented based on the community input. Elea can now sprint in the entire 'Recovery' chapter (minus when there's a conversation with other characters) for faster paced gameplay. We've added an entirely new hint system, created more clear objectives, highlighted important assets/objects, implemented faster movement in the house segment, etc. [b]New Content[/b] We added tons of new content in the ten updates. We've implemented a new help screen, a new story overview intro screen, a new cinematic intro, a new after credits final, we've added more than 50 new assets, implemented full 5.1 surround with spatial audio support, new voiceovers for some of the characters, new music tracks, new save checkpoints (three more compared to the first EA version), and we've unlocked the framerate up to 120 frames per second (versus 60FPS in the earlier versions). [b]Optimization[/b] We've optimized the streaming system and reworked it specifically for the PC version (from v0.9 of the game). There's been texture optimizations, implemented streamable audio, optimized the interface of the game for 4K resolutions (from v0.95 version of the game), implemented localization fixes and updates and added better screen space reflections (SSR) on ultra settings for more powerful PCs, etc. Version 1.0 is the content complete version of the game. This does not mean this is the final update for the game, though. We'll still be fixing bugs and optimizing the game, based on your feedback. Last but not least, here's the patch notes for the v1.0 update: [list] [*]Optimization of the level loading system [*]Optimization of the save & load system [*]Update of some meshes and textures [*]Audio improvements [*]Localization fixes and updates [*]Over 100 bug-fixes [*]Unlockable image effects that change the game visuals after successful completion of the episode. [*]A surprise new “In the next episodes” scene just after the credits. [*]The final chase sequence is polished and new QTE animation is added [/list] I can't thank you all enough for all the feedback and support you've given us over the Early Access period. We're very proud of the final version of Elea, and we couldn't have done this without you. Have fun playing Elea and we'll see you in the next episode! -Marten
