Before we dive into the content, a quick message for our backers. We haven't forgotten anyone. The physical rewards take time (we're prioritizing finishing the game first), and I promised to write an article on the subject, it will be done. I'm just very tired and can’t work late at night anymore, but I will write a post dedicated to the backers :) I also need to send the keys to the people who responded recently (~the last 2 months). Again, I apologize, but I have a ton of things to manage simultaneously. It will be done, don't worry. Now, let’s move on to this new patch! As I explained before, content-wise, the game is complete. However, there are still plenty of small things to do here and there, and we’re tackling them head-on. [h3]Release date.[/h3] I was hoping to announce the day of the final release today. But as we have (maybe) some exciting news to share, for now I can’t confirm any release date. Maybe June, maybe a bit later. As we say in French, waiting more will make the cheese even better. Give us a little bit of time to confirm everything and make the announcement you are all waiting for. In the meantime, we are just making the game even better. [h3]The artistic overhaul of Biome 3 “The Ruins of Lemia” is complete![/h3] Enjoy the new look of this zone, the largest in the game, starting from patch 0.9.4. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42282640/3649a6753df6ab66769a14a06b1cf33ef2140365.gif[/img] The Biome 4 is the next one on the list (and it’s in progress). [h3]Optimization, Memory Usage Improvement / Memory Leak Fix[/h3] During the month of May, I almost exclusively worked on optimizing the game and reducing memory leak issues. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42282640/06c70bfd1903fa2c84b71a98436aa77a31d4d5df.png[/img] In this new version, you should experience a much more stable and less resource-intensive game. There are still a few culprits here and there, and we will chasing them down for the next update. Also, the game will be way more optimized in the future. I have a big card in my pocket, which will take time and will arrive in a future patch! I hope to double the game’s performance! [h3]New Sounds in the World of Noreya[/h3] Over time, you’ve come to know us, and you know we pay attention to detail in every corner. Starting with this patch, you will have the pleasure to hear a new variety of footstep sounds; in fact, some passages will have water or leaf sound effects. [previewyoutube=SSNtjRIqyvI;leftthumb][/previewyoutube] It’s a small detail, but I think it adds a significant charm. Additionally, some monsters, objects, and Boss 3 now have sounds!
