Hi all!

I'm excited to share the latest updates with you, but before diving in, a quick personal note: I'm about to become a proud parent - any day now! This means this will be my last update for a little while. Thank you for your understanding.

Following the release of Aron's Adventure Magic Reborn, I've received insightful bug reports and constructive criticism. Your feedback has been awesome, and I've focused on addressing these issues for this update.

Your involvement has been amazing - thanks to your quick feedback, some bugs that eluded me for weeks were fixed in minutes. A huge thank you for helping make Aron's Adventure the best it can be!

Now, let's dive into the patch notes!



The community and myself noticed limited opportunities for Aron to perform combos, often needing quick dodges to avoid damage. Thus, I've completely redesigned the combat manager and made additional changes for a smoother experience.

Enemies targeting Aron are now queued, with preference for those not currently under attack. This change should simplify targeting in group fights and enhance the overall combat dynamics.

Since the combat manager was one of the first things added to the game I could see this change have a big positive impact on the game in general and also resolve some issues with AI not knowing if they can attack.

Changes to stun-lock.
Can now stunlock enemies longer

• Challenge: 1.1s From 0.8s
  
• Adventure: 1.6s From 1.5s
  
• Story: 4.3s From 4.0s

An additional Delay is added if a Recent hit was a critical hit on the enemy:

• Challenge/Adventure: 0.5s
  
• Story: 1.0s

This combination feels a lot better without it getting awkward long on non-story difficulties. (story difficulty can get a little long but that's what the difficulty is for)


Four New enemies join the fight, these new enemies feature new move sets and can be found all throughout Elor. These were added to add more variety to encounters and to alleviate the more common stronger enemies to create more variety.


Changes:

• Re-balanced the ranged melee attack.
  
• Re-balanced the heavy attacks. (Slower weapons will get a less dramatic damage multiplier since their base damage is higher)
  
• Controller: Swapped the default buttons for Attack and Interact on controller. (This is how I played myself and I find the original one frustrating to use, you can revert this in the binding menu)
  
• Player Castle: Added lanterns throughout the castle that light up at night.
  
• Rive: Increased spawn distance of certain foliage.
  
• Rive: Fixed up some bad textures on rocks in the environment.
  
• Dragon Valley: Fixed a camp trigger bug that would happen when you load a save.
  
• Shadow's Edge: Made the stealth section a little easier.

Bug fixes & Optimizations:

• Bugfix: Fixed a rare issue that would break initial movement when playing in Rive. (Happened with cloud data save)
  
• Bugfix: Fixed a bug where you could open menus when in dialogue.
  
• Bugfix: Removed the double "_" for NG+ save games. (Sorry if this causes additional auto-saves for you)
  
• Bugfix: Fixed a bug in Dungeon 2 where puzzle assist audio could sometimes play when loading a save-file.
  
• Bugfix: Removed foliage in walls in Shadow's Edge.
  
• Bugfix: When playing on a different device with a lower resolution, the game will automatically set the resolution to the highest possible on the screen. (Mostly there to solve an issue I had on steamdeck)
  
• Bugfix: Enemies are now killed as well if you defeat the witch in the castle level from the demo.
  
• Bugfix: Prevent footsteps from playing after AI died for big orc. (And new AI)
  
• Bugfix: Spamming the jump button when falling with a mount would allow you to walk in the air.
  
• Bugfix: Hopefully resolved an issues where certain progression would be reset on level travel.
  
• Optimization: Rive, Shadow's Edge, Dragon Valley. All received foliage optimizations and memory optimizations for the landscape. Tried to get away with as much as possible without affecting the visible play-space.

Thank you again for your continuous support and feedback. ːsteamhappyː

Hi all,

It's been amazing to read all the responses to the new update. I'm very happy to see it received so well.
Today another small patch this week to address some comments and things reported by the community.

Settings:

• Resolved a crash when going from FSR to DLSS (With FSR enabled)
  
• Removed unused graphics settings that were disabled but still visible.

Levels:

• Rive: Minor changes to "waking up" house after the intro.
  
• Castle: More navmesh so that mounts can be summoned further away from the castle as well.
  
• Shadows Edge: Made the castle a little more visually pleasing, especially the area featured in the update video. (Book of Power Vendor area)
  
• Eternal Pits: Twinblade fight slowed down somewhat.
  
• Eternal Pits: Removed some assets to proper sub-levels
  
• Eternal Pits: Minor navmesh fixes.
  
• Hall of Mirrors: Resolved an issue that would cause a visible screen shake when visiting this hidden area.

Other:

• NG+ Now utilizes a seperate auto-save. (Called NG+)
  
• Hall of Mirrors: Animations for dialogue removed. (Since it's supposed to be for a static character)
  
• AI: Hopefully resolved an issue where in rare cases, AI would give up and stand around waiting for their suffering to end.

Thanks again for the support and kind comments, it's been a great week.

Magic has found its way back to Elor! Play the NewGame+ today and face off against new enemies on your adventures through Elor.

Aron’s Adventure Magic Reborn is all about you, the community! After our third update we invested into additional QA and I had a look at the most requested features and changes.

I also started developing for the console, but last year my focus switched back to this update. I’m so incredibly excited about all the changes and the new content.

To show you we’re taking all feedback incredibly seriously, we're also reducing the price of the game permanently. We’re living in interesting times and I believe that having an escape like video games can be of great importance. In some countries we opted to keep the price the same as lowering it causes the new price to be higher in certain countries and that’s the last thing we want.

Thanks again for supporting us, sharing your feedback and being so incredibly patient and awesome. I hope that you’ll get to enjoy all the new changes to the game!

- Tim van Kan





After reaching the Eternal Pits, you can start New Game+ (NG+). In NG+, you'll encounter updated fights, craft remaining gear, and bring along your mounts and equipment while skipping some introductory content. End game materials are now available at all levels in NG+, it also features more challenging and diverse encounters.


Aron can now acquire Books of Power from a mysterious merchant, adding an extra layer of magic to his abilities. These books offer flexibility in gameplay, allowing for customized special abilities like ranged melee attacks or protective shields. You have the option to use these enhancements as you prefer.

Player choice is very important to me and I’d feel bad walking around with so many outfits but having to pick the highest number to make sure I have the most armor. Therefore I added a new transmog button that will allow you to pick what armor Aron will wear and what armor you’ll see while playing.

In an effort to ease the minds of the people the king of Cryll has sent out entertainment mages all throughout Elor to offer up fresh challenges for the people! Earn better equipment or make enough gold to afford yourself that white horse you’ve been gazing at for the last few weeks! Mini-games can now be found all throughout Elor, even in dangerous areas.
Hit as many targets as possible, memorize the order of dummies being hit, survive the danger dome and more! Go explore the different mini games in Elor Today.


We always prided ourselves in making sure Aron’s adventure is an accessible game to a wide audience and people with many different playstyles. After playing Guardians of the Galaxy I was so inspired by their approach I wanted something similar for Aron’s Adventure. You can now select Custom difficulty and completely tweak the game to your liking. There’s a ton of settings you can tweak and I tried to keep it as easy to understand as possible without introducing too many numbers.

You can now find a lot of new Merchants in Elor. Buy more quick potion slots, improve your mount handling and buy books of power.

Four new mounts have been added to the game. Most of the new mounts are purely visual but one of the mounts will take adventuring to the next level! Complete Arenas to earn these new mounts and take them with you when playing New Game Plus.

• All mounts except for the wyvern only change in terms of visuals.
  
• You can significantly upgrade your mount handling by purchasing upgrades from the mount upgrade vendor. Jump higher, run faster and get more control.
  
• Mounts have undergone pretty significant changes in terms of handling and should control a lot better.

New enemies have joined Crawin his ranks and are intent on preventing Aron from defeating their leader.

Mysterious creatures from the depths of the eternal pits have come to the surface, they bring their twisted slaves capable of magic as well. Sorcerers have a clear understanding of ancient magic, they will cast all sorts of different attacks at Aron.

The risen are an ancient civilization brought back to life by dark magic, they have been imprinted by sorcerers to perform special magic attacks. Generally they won't know a lot of different magic, but they'll know a few attacks really well and are just as capable as sorcerers when it comes to teleportation magic, allowing them to stay away on the battlefield.


Earn special mounts for completing arena’s which can be found throughout the game. These arena’s take place in the rift and have special rules applied to them. Test your combat skills!

Arena’s are introduced in Rive and will show up on your map. In every arena there are some different rules and Aron will have to survive against 3 waves of enemies. If this is executed successfully he’ll be rewarded with a new mount. The arena’s are old battles re-created in the rest by previous Sentinels, used to train new recruits. Every wave survived equals a checkpoint so if you fail a wave you won’t have to repeat the entire arena.

In this arena Aron will have to defeat his enemies using only his bow. In this small arena it’s going to be tricky to defeat everyone on your path. The undead audience is also a danger to look out for as they’ll throw bones towards you in order to make things more complicated. Thranmar, the undead dwarven ruler likes a show. He’ll provide you with arrows and with 3 waves of the undead. Survive and be rewarded with a mount often used by the dwarves.

In this arena Aron runs into an ambush. With only his sword at his side he’ll have to fight the mages and many other enemies that are ambushing any traveler brave enough to travel to this old battlefield.

The eternal pits haven’t always been the way they are now. For many years after defeating Crawin, the dwarves tried settling in and they were pretty successful at it. Until the war of the Depths, where an army of orcs and undead swarmed the dwarven owned caves. The enemies used cursed weapons, if you were hit only once… the chances of you dying would be very significant. In this hardest Arena Aron can’t be hit more than once, if he is hit it’s game over and you’ll have to try again.

• Dodging and Rolling is now tied to the same button, tab to dodge and hold to roll. This opens up the ability for Aron to dodge in combat.
  
• Limited potions: Per encounter you now have a limited amount of potions to use. You can purchase upgrades for additional quickslots at the potions vendor.
  
• Removed Crafting Arrows: Arrows can no longer be crafted and resources for crafting arrows can now barely be found. You now automatically grab arrows from your camps. So make sure to walk by and Aron will automatically restock.
  
• Archery: Depending on Bow rarity, Aron will now draw an arrow faster or slower. Only poor bows draw slightly slower compared to old builds, everything above common is faster.

We were always happy with the visual style we achieved with the two of us. However there was a lot of feedback to some areas of the game, especially rocks. I’ve done a ton of experimenting and I believe I found a great new direction to take the rocks in. Most of them now have a noise pattern applied, which will make them stand out less as compared to before. Outside of this some old areas of the game have been updated as well.

Many optimizations were achieved thanks to a lot of testing done on the Steamdeck. It helped me find a lot of areas for improvement and luckily, in a lot of cases I was able to book a lot of progress. More frames, significant shorter loading times and smoother overall.

• DLSS Updated to 3.5
  
• FSR updated to 2.0
  
• Significant faster load times on lower end machines.

Too many! Thank you to everyone that helped reporting. Thanks to your help I was able to find hundreds of small and big issues preventing some people from having a good time. While I doubt everything is 100% clear, I’ve really come a long way in smoothing out the experience. I hope you notice this as well when playing.

There have also been a ton of UI updates, new tutorials, new enemy health bars, updated damage numbers and more!

Quests: New quest paths have been added, some old content was patched back into the main game and non-linear quests have also been updated to function better and not break. The dungeons have also received some significant changes to improve the overal flow of the experience.

Cutscenes: A majority of the in-game cutscenes can now be skipped! Aron's Adventure has always been a gameplay first game and I felt that being able to skip the cutscene should be possible.

Sounds: hundreds of new sounds have been added for the new content and to help enhance old content.

Quick Save: You can now press F5 on PC to force an autosave to happen.

Controller: Many changes were made to controller support. I’ve mostly been playing the game on controller and it feels a lot more natural to me compared to before. You’re also free to rebind the settings as that should mostly work properly at the moment.

And many more: A ton has happened and I’m sure I forgot some things, but it comes down to things working a lot better and everything being smoother overall.

For additional Patch Notes: feel free to check out the google doc I set-up to keep others informed of what was happening. LINK

Hi everyone,

It's been a great year. So much work on the game has been done! I started a new job as a lecturer in August. This has been an amazing opportunity, but it also made it hard for me to wrap up the update.

That being said, I do want to announce it and let you know that it's in the final stages of play-testing. This update will launch in 2023 and here's some information on what to expect of this update!



Magic has found its way back to Elor!

Aron’s Adventure Magic Reborn is all about you, the community! After our third update we invested into additional QA and I had a look at the most requested features and changes.

I also started developing for the console, but the last few months my focus has switched back to this update. I’m so incredibly excited about all the changes and the new content.

We're not adding any huge new areas, but I tried to improve the existing game and fix as many issues as possible.

• New Game+
  New Game+ allows you to replay the game with your latest save game from the Eternal Pits. You bring along your armor and mounts and you get to decide to skip the tutorial. New enemies are added to New Game+ to make the 2nd round extra interesting.
  
• New mini-games.
  Magic has returned to Elor and all throughout the land mini-games can be completed for interesting prices.
  
• New Difficulty settings.
  Completely tweak the way you play by using the custom difficulty setting. Decide how tough enemies should be, how much damage Aron can receive and much more!
  
• Arena's with specific challenges.
  
• New mounts, including a special one.
  
• A lot of new magical enemies.
  
• New magic ability modifiers.
  
• A lot of fixes, requested changes, and more!

Thanks to the hired QA, but mostly due to our awesome community I've been able to find some pretty nasty bugs and other areas for optimizations! Once again thank you all so much. Without you I would've never found some of these issues.

Thanks again for supporting us, sharing your feedback and being awesome.

Happy Holidays!

Hi everyone,

A quick update on the development of Aron’s Adventure. Thank you again so much for your support during our launch and the months after! Aron’s Adventure has been released but I’m not done yet! 2022 is going to be an amazing year for the game with community requested tweaks, new content and many fixes.

Currently I’m working on one of the biggest updates the game has seen so far and I’m working on a version of the game for the Nintendo Switch. This has slowed down the release of smaller updates and means that it’ll be a while before you see any new updates but I hope the wait will be more than worth it.

In this week's Friday update I go a little more in depth.



TLDR: Still working really hard on making Aron’s Adventure the best game it can be! An awesome experience for everyone.

More updates will follow later in the year so make sure you follow the page.

Thanks again and talk soon.

Hi everyone,

Something had gone wrong with our German localization causing a lot of the translations to be in the wrong location. Hopefully this patch solves most of those issues.

Thanks for making us aware of this issue.

- Tim van Kan

Hi everyone,

very small update today after we got a report from someone crashing at a certain part in the castle.

Changes:

• Fixed a crash that sometimes occurred after liberating the castle
  
• Fixed a bug that'd confuse the toggle sprint functionality forcing you to press it multiple times.
  
• Certain mini bosses had their audio fixed for when the master volume has been updated.

Thank you so much for playing and have a great Sunday.

- Tim van Kan

Hi everyone,

Update 3.2 is now officially out. A huge shout out to some people sending us their save files that helped us track down some nasty bugs.

Read everything in the patch notes below.

• Many texture resolution improvements that'll result in fewer high res textures failing to load.
  
• Removed older unused referenced assets from the game.
  
• Minor game thread optimizations.
  
• Foliage optimizations. (Mostly trees)

(These changes together have also made the game 600MB smaller. Almost 10% smaller install size.)

• Updated our save & load plugin.
  
• Minor tree billboard fixes.
  
• Decreased intensity of critical hit particle.

• Fixed a bug where the wrong number would show up in the center of the screen for the amount of arrows that you have.
  
• Fixed a bug where slow motion could get stuck. (So the game would stay in slow motion)
  
• Fixed minor visual issues in the intro. (Characters at the end)

• Crash instance fixed where to many un-looted pickup actors would break the save/load plugin.

Loot is now automatically called to Aron after an encounter. (In a certain range) (Only applies to pick-ups)

- Tim van Kan

Hi everyone,

Update 3.1 is now officially out. A big thanks to the people that took the time to report bugs and point us in the right direction. We looked at some controller feedback and critical bugs reported.

You can now enable Hold attack for heavy attack in the gameplay settings. I hope that this will make it easier to perform heavy attacks with a controller. This over-writes the shift + attack completely so they can't be used together.

• Hold attack for heavy attack gameplay setting.
  
• Updated Tutorials to also show this.

I also completely overhauled the input for Aron's Adventure and it's now utilizing a beta feature from Unreal called Enhanced inputs. We hope that this will give fewer issues with rebinding and solves all instances of people trying to rebind and seeing "any".
This was a big undertaking and the main reason why it took a while to release update 3.1

• Completely overhauled back-end for key binding/rebinding.
  
• Cleaned up and removed a lot of old binds.
  
• Overhauled the system that gets the latest input for the on-screen tutorials.

• Fixed a bug where dialogue could get stuck. (On selecting invalid answers)
  
• Fixed a controller bug that would prevent proper visuals from playing when selecting answers.

• Fixed a rare bug that could corrupt a save resulting in a Fatal Error. (Thanks to the community sending a save file for us to test with)

• Very significant optimizations to shader complexity. (20-50% shader performance improvements)

• Changes to mount spawning that'll help prevent the horse from running into you and locking you down.

• Implement crawin dialogue subtitles.
  
• Twinblade trainer name fixed.
  
• Fixed titles in crafting menu now showing up.
  
• Fixed a bug where certain actions could prevent cinematics from playing, getting you stuck. \
  
• Fixed an Aron swimming animation bug.
  
• Fixed some minor animation bugs.

• Fix first sentence of the intro subtitles not showing up.

• Fixed some rock collision where you could get stuck.
  
• Aron should now be able to pick up his parent’s key

Thanks again for playing and exploring our world.

Hi everyone! Update 3 has arrived!

For this new update we wanted to focus completely on community feedback and things that we felt needed updating ourselves. While we’ve been working on some new content we’ve chosen not to release this yet and instead decided to focus on making the current experience as polished and awesome as possible! Hopefully we get to add some of the new content as well in a future update.



One of the most requested features for the game has to be localization. We’re just two guys and we like to tackle everything ourselves but with localization that’s pretty hard.

With a combination of industry professionals and awesome community members we’ve been able to make it happen.

In update 3 we’re adding localization for the following languages:

• French
  
• Italian
  
• German
  
• Korean
  
• Simplified Chinese
  
• Spanish (South America)
  
• Japanese
  
• Portuguese - Brazil

In the near future we will add Dutch and Russian to the list as well.
Expect minor updates to the localization in future updates. This has been an absolutely huge undertaking for us but we’re happy that more people get to experience our adventure.
We’ve also made a lot of improvements to the English text.

If you notice any mistakes and would like to help out please let us know!



Our UI desperately needed some changes and I’ve spent a lot of time trying to fix a lot of the issues, improve performance and in general gave it a huge overhaul in terms of look and feel without completely redoing the whole thing. I hope that it’ll feel like a more consistent menu and that you all like the changes.

UI Overhauled:

• A red glow will appear around the screen when Aron's Health is low.
  (Also updated the logic behind the health bar animation, now warns sooner)
  
• Looting. (All rarities)
  Different notifications for gold/other loot.
  Different/New sounds and settings for different categories.
  
• Inventory screen:
  Updated icons
  Updated smaller icons.
  
• Save game menu.
  In game / Main Menu.
  
  
• Journal.
  
• Skill point earning.
  
• Updated boss fight UI.
  
• Quest Accept/Updated/Completed screen.

Other UI changes:

• Updated quest board notify

• Controller / Mouse & Keyboard
  
• World quest marker text adjustments for better visibility.

• More consistent color theme in the main menu.
  
• Minor font updates and other color updates.

• Pause Menu: Inventory screen minor fixes/changes.
  
• Main loading screen: Cleaned up a lot and now uses an image instead of a video.
  
• Rebind menu: Re-did the wording on the inputs. (Working on localization has allowed us to make further improvements in this area)

Bug fixes UI:

• Critical damage number glow fixed.
  
• UI Optimizations.
  
• Save throbber plays after saving in the save menu.
  
• Fixed a bug where you'd be able to go to unused menus in the main menu.
  
• A lot of fonts updated for more consistency.

Inventory item description was not changed for readability reasons.



Comments on difficulty:
Before we talk about the changes to Aron I’d like to make a few comments on the difficulty in Aron’s Adventure.
“Challenge” is the difficulty that the game was intended to have, a challenging world where the player grows together with Aron, a world where actions have consequences.

Because we feel so passionately about this difficulty we stick with our own design decisions the most when it comes to this difficulty mode. In the following patch notes you'll find some community requested changes that are limited to adventure and story mode because we don’t really agree with the changes but they were requested by a majority of the player community. (They don’t have a huge impact on gameplay)

• Increase trace distance of the teleport arrow depending on difficulty.
  (Story = x 1.2)
  (Adventure = x1.1)
  (Challenge = x1.05)

  Time to block reduced by 40% for sword and shield. (Was already shorter than other weapons)
  Other weapons time to block reduced by 50%.

• Fixed a bug that'd stop the tutorial screen from updating.
  
• Fixed a bug where aron's walk animation would get interrupted with sprinting.
  
• Fixed a rare instance fixed for Aron skeletal mesh ghosting.

While I had the intention to work on adding more features to controller support for the game I decided against it. I still want to add controller rumble but I need some more time for it. I’d rather have it in a little later instead of rushed. It’s also a more difficult feature to add since I’m not very familiar with what the industry standard is.

• No input prompts for controller when scanning (First tutorial)
  
• Can get stuck in secondary input mode fixed (Controller)
  
• Dialogue control improvements.
  
• Targeting fixes.
  
• Input fixes.

Once again, thank you all so much for playing and enjoying our world!
