Continuing our journey through Aeloria, I'll talk about the magical force known as the Mägi, as well as auralite, the rare crystals that have been infused with the power of the Mägi.

Wishing everyone a happy holiday season! Also a quick update on the development and scheduling of Darktide.

During the development of Darktide we’ve gone through several iterations on the world of Aeloria and it’s inhabitants. So I wanted to take the time to explain our design process and ideas.

Over the last month we've focused on a few key areas and really polishing them up before we cut some video, and a ton of work has gone into scripting the trailer.

We've been making great progress towards our next pre-alpha build, which is the version we'll be using to showcase the game on both the Collective and Greenlight.

Since our last update we've been steadily implementing features, iterating on game design, and making some really big changes based on the feedback we've been getting.

Over the last few months we've been working really hard on finalizing the combat interface and polishing our character and environmental artwork. Summer is here and we're finally ready to show it off!

Our artist Jove has been working insanely hard upgrading all of our environments and characters to a much higher level of detail, as well as evening out the current gender imbalance in Aeloria.

We’ve been hard at work making significant changes since we ran our first closed alpha test. Since then we’ve added a new team member, updated UI, and have made many improvements across the board!

Today we kicked off our initial alpha testing that will focus on the core gameplay, usability, and the campaign mechanics. It's a very small group but we're really looking forward to getting feedback!
