Greetings Therians and Mistwalkers

First we would like to wish you a very fun year for 2024, may your skill raises and your coffers be full of loot.

We decided to do a joint announcement because we are the same team working on both games. Many of you wanted to know what is up with the team, especially about Mist Legacy because of the post we did in the fall.

For the short version: we will continue our work on both games as much as we can in 2024.


The change we did in the fall on monetization did have an impact, but what we still lack is volume. This means we have to ramp up the marketing. As you can expect, marketing is a time and cash-consuming task so it will impact the number of game updates we can do. But marketing, and you, need updates, so we will have a mix of marketing done and new content. So as for today, we are preparing the year with three updates: March, September and December.

We expect that the updates for 2024 will focus on the main story of the game. Each one will unlock a new sector of the map and propose adventures that will have the possibility to unlock upgrades for companions and for your character with the Mistwalker reputation. Also, Sorka wrote to us and asked if she could come back to meet this cute hero she met on the Troll Plateau, we’ll see what we can do with that.


For Therian Saga, we are very happy to keep this world alive and the way we handle the game is that we accumulate the revenues from the game and when we have enough we use it to create a game update for our players. Based on current income, we expect to have Falkarma working on the next update to be released in May so he can finish the new region of Arkubel and possibly open a few other territories.

There is something that is a big worry for us about Therian Saga. We are stretching our luck by continuing to use the same technological engine (Silverlight) as we were 10 years ago. There is a possibility that we wake up one morning and that Microsoft decides to turn the switch off for this technology. And having our first game disappears from the online world, with all the memories linked to it, is just not something we want. In June, Virtys created a checkpoint for the future of this game, and we will explore our available options at that moment.

As always, this is our planning for the year and we cannot guarantee the plan will work as we thought it would, but it’s an honest plan and we think it could hold on for a year. We locked our schedule for the three Mist Legacy updates and the Therian Saga update. Let's say that if something big happens (yeah, we are also looking for other secret options) this should only mean more cool stuff is coming.

Thanks for playing with us!

Greetings, Therians!

First and foremost, I would like to express my gratitude to everyone who contributed to the creation of this Therian Saga update. Your support and input from the community have been invaluable in making this possible. The past few months have been a delightful journey, and returning to the game after this extended pause has proven to be a rejuvenating experience. The break from the game, combined with our return for version 1.35, has granted us a fresh perspective on the game.

As promised, in celebration of the 10th anniversary of Therian Saga, we are launching a special promotion. During this period, every player will be granted Premium status (with sleep anticipation benefits), and all four additional tasks will be activated for all players. This promotion will not have a predetermined end date.

In terms of content, the majority of the new additions will be situated in a previously unexplored region known as Therianor, located to the east of Hawkoria. Introducing new content also entails a set of challenges to unlock recipes and construct necessary structures.

Here's a summary of the changes in version 1.35 (for a more detailed version, please refer to our Discord):

• Introduction of a new region, Plain 60.
  
• Introduction of Wingu harvesting.
  
• Introduction of a new wood resource named Timoral.
  
• Addition of a new creature available for taming.
  
• Introduction of a new guild level along with a corresponding building.
  
• Introduction of a new colossal wood resource and two mineral clusters (Massilan and Hulbergor).
  
• Establishment of two new arenas designed for combat skills at levels 80 and 90.
  
• Introduction of a new boss, surpassing the strength of the Predatoris.

This update was primarily designed for end-game players. Consequently, our next update is planned to cater to mid-game players. Our focus will be on expanding content around the Grimaldaz region, particularly the underground domain of Arkubel.

The specifics of when and how we will develop the next content remain uncertain. As a small team, we are committed to satisfying our player base to the best of our abilities. Our roadmap also alludes to an upcoming secret, which I'm unable to discuss at this time. However, rest assured that we are exploring various options for the game's long-term future.

Best regards,
Virtys

Greetings, Therians!

We are thrilled to announce that 10 years ago, on this very date, we released Therian Saga after several months of beta testing. Even after all these years, the game still boasts one of the most unique concepts in the industry. It isn't just your typical idle game; rather, it involves strategic planning of tasks and travels for your heroes, ensuring a rewarding experience even during short play sessions.

Keeping that in mind, we are pleased to inform you that starting with the next update, both the "sleep readiness" feature and the unlocking of all "Tasks" will be available to everyone. This significant change will make the game much more relevant in 2023, as the game's key features will no longer be hidden behind the monetization system.

Are there any new content updates for the game? Absolutely! In late July, we will be releasing version 1.35, which not only introduces a formidable new boss but also an entirely new region filled with resources and challenges designed for endgame players. We engaged in extensive discussions with the community and took note of the numerous new features they requested, which led us to allocate an additional month to develop this exciting new content.

In this update, you can expect to find (at least):

• A new region waiting to be unlocked.
  
• A means to acquire Hulbergor and Massilian.
  
• A giant tree for salancedar.
  
• An entirely new type of tree.
  
• Something extraordinary to tame.
  
• The complete life cycle of the wingu.
  
• A method to fulfill the missing Hunting achievement involving ayrann.
  
• Fresh festivities to advance to the next guild level.
  
• A new boss with three variations, offering a progressive challenge.
  
• New high-level arenas.

We thank you for being with us throughout these years. It is an honor for us to keep the world of Therian Saga alive.

Greeting Therians,

We are starting our work for the ten years of Therian Saga. Our first step is to reopen the dialog with our community. We will do this in the form of topics that will help us shape the future of the game

Long live Therian Saga!

Greeting Therians!

Some news for Therian Saga! We want to create new content for the game this year and we created a cool image to show where we are heading:

Click to see the full image.
First, we will have to remove the dust from the game project and make sure we reconnect with you all to know what it is you want with the game content.

Then we will prepare our update to fit with the 10 years anniversary of the official release of the game. With that and our tools functional, we will head up to create new content to release in the fall of 2023 with a visit to a new underdark territory called Arkubel.

You may notice in that a secret is to be unveiled at the end of 2023 for Therian Saga, you will have to stay tuned for that!

Thanks for playing with us!

Hi everyone,

We will update the game to 1.34 on April 8. This will be a relatively small update that will give you new high-level meta-plants and a mid-level weapon to craft. We will also do some work on the servers during the update. The update will also include many translation fixes by the team of translators.

Check your local time here: http://www.worldtimebuddy.com/event?lid=6325494%2C524901%2C2988507%2C5368361&h=6325494&sts=26964240&sln=9-13&a=show

This is a good milestone because it means we have restarted the wheel and will be able to give you other cool updates in the future. Do not expect majors update in 2021 as the team need to release Mist Legacy, but we will give you everything we can on Therian Saga.

Thank you for playing with us!
Virtys

We will be doing a hardware migration to improve the game performance.

You can check your local time here:

Remember that scheduled tasks of your heroes will be done even if the servers are down (that's the magic of asynchronous games!)

Thank you for playing with us!

Welcome to the Council!

In January we had an infrastructure optimization to save on servers cost. This optimization is starting to give us results, so it is now time to plan on what we are going to do with Therian Saga this year.

The first thing we want to clear out is that you must not expect new engine features for the game (like the guild's war, mobile version, etc.) but we can build on our current system to add gameplay elements. The second thing is that we are running the game with a partial team so it will be very hard for us to create a new territory. We are likely to work on small updates that have a very focused gameplay goal and, if possible, have new regions being worked on as a background task.

What we are expecting for today council is that you give us hints on what would be key gameplay elements that you would like to see in the game. These elements can be described somewhat like this:

• We need a unit at X of skill Y because of this craft.
  
• We need to be able to harvest X (I know you'll say Wingu).
  
• The resource X is still useless we need something to do with it.
  
• The skill X has a lower cap than the other, we would need a new recipe at Y.
  
• Would be nice to have a challenge to build an X (mine) at difficulty Y.
  
• New monster with X of combat skill Y would help us.
  
• Between X and Y of the skill Z, it's far too hard to progress.
  
• Where is our flying ship???

For us, that would be a first step to know what is the most needed/wanted by you. We expect to have this council running for a few weeks before taking any decision, so everyone will have the chance to speak.

Thank you for your time, and now we are listening on our forum ( http://forum.theriansaga.com/viewtopic.php?f=61&t=8497 ) and here on Steam.

Hi, here is our plan for today:

• At first all servers will go down for an optimization script.
  
• All the new servers will open Kragkul, Agonedus, Maliken, Filgar.
  
• Alchimideon, Vodekan, Hipporiel and Vulufang will come back to live.
  
• We will do the merge of Fiergrue+Teasan and Wojtek+Loucantar.

We'll be on Discord if you want to follow the migration progress: https://discord.gg/nu64e4Y

Thanks!

It's the Great Celebrations!

For the occasion we are going to make the old Halloween and festivities quest available. You can accept them as soon as the update is done and you will have until January 7 to do so. In addition, there will be a new task that will call a special holiday "boss". The quest to access this task must be accepted before January 7th, but the creature will remain available permanently. However, unlike the others, you will have to pay with some imperial candies to launch the action. In exchange, its loot will be more interesting. In the same vein, the rewards given in the Candy shop have been revised and improved.

In addition to the end-of-the-year event, we added a new boss for less experienced players and another for a higher category. Both are in Grimaldaz and both will be permanent.

To finish with the update, several players had asked us to allow the transfer between a Steam account and a Virtys account. It will be possible now.
