Hi everyone!
The release of the new demo of AURA: Hentai Cards is just around the corner!
We've already reached the 7,500 whishlists mark on Steam!



So we are already adding erotic puzzles and secret chests! But we're only showing you a piece of the puzzle to keep the intrigue alive and not break any Patreon rules!



And for the full version of the game we have drawn a lot of new locations and new characters that will be waiting for you in the magical world of Pentarull!

Hello everyone,

• Double jump has been cancelled, you can now jump once.
  
• Inventory updated.

Hello,

V0.2b brings a major track extension. The touge gets quite technical once we pass the original Playtest layout, and the forgiving wide road is no longer there, demanding the best from you.




I've increased the grip of the tires so you can handle with more precision. Car tweaking will become relevant in the v0.3x phase.

Map loading should now be much faster.

Overall performance should be fine, as I've tested it extensively, including on the SteamDeck (where it's not yet playable with scan data enabled).

There are a number of small tweaks.

Still pending:

-Background
-Road texturing fix.
Can't wait to hear the feedback.

Best regards,

Pablo.

I added some Steam Achievements, but it is only for Windows version for now. Other platforms are coming soon. There is also a brand new menu and a new hard mode.

• 6 Achievements to unlock
  
• Main menu with options
  
• Added a hard mode
  
• Added both language (en/fr) in the same game

Thanks for playing !

Development has started on the 'Solace' update. It is aims to consolidate the single-player gameplay towards an early-access standard by mostly focusing on bug fixes and refining the core gameplay, along with bringing lots of general improvements.

No more black spheres. Black holes are now animated and distort light.

Old black holes:



New black holes:



No more cute ai-generated creatures. Species avatars have been improved, and should now be more suitable for the sci-fi genre and are also human created. This format of avatars should replace any planned 'animated avatars' (for now at least) due to development constraints, and larger priorities.




The UI has changed to a cyan colour as 'Cobalt' did not match the gameplay very well. Also, outlines are now more thin. Additionally, new holographic SFX is replacing old sounds to maintain a more consistent and futuristic theme.



There has also been feedback about the icons being too basic, which is mostly true. This was a 'UI art-direction' taken from last year, although I am experimenting with a new style of icons.



Public playtesting is underway, and as of writing, 50 players currently have access. If you would like to request access, you can do so on the Steam page. Public-playtesting should continue for the near future, because it's better than no public playtesting, although closed-beta will also continue to provide another much-needed layer of potential feedback.

We're launching a Hideout Competition! The winners will be rewarded with great prizes, including physical items and hideout decorations for further creations. If you enjoy creating hideouts, be sure to participate!

The Trial of the Ancestors introduced ten Karui Chieftains and further expanded the lore about the gods they follow, so this time we encourage you to build hideouts themed around the Karui gods:

• Tukohama, Father of War
  
• Hinekora, Mother of Death
  
• Ngamahu, Mother of Fire
  
• Valako, Father of the Storm
  
• Tasalio, Father of Water
  
• Tawhoa, Father of the Forest
  
• Ramako, Father of Light
  
• Rongokurai, Father of Night
  
• Arohongui, Daughter of the Moon
  
• Kitava, Father of Chaos

To participate in the competition, select a god (or several gods) from the list above and create a hideout that represents their theme clearly. As an example, a hideout inspired by Kitava can be bloody and distorted, while Ramako's hideout could be filled with life and light.

There will be two categories: Premium and Natural. The Premium category includes the use of Microtransactions, whereas the Natural category does not. If you have purchased a base for your hideout but all decorations are non-microtransactions, your submission would still be considered to fall under the Premium category.

The competition starts from the time of this post and ends on October 6th 5PM (NZT).
Both the Premium and Natural categories will have their own prize pools.

Pick a Karui god and create a hideout that clearly represents it. Post screenshots or a video in reply to this thread to enter. Attaching a link to your .hideout file is not mandatory, but is appreciated as it will make the process of reviewing your hideout much faster for us. To submit a screenshot, just upload it to an image hosting site like imgur.com, copy the address of the uploaded image and post it in this thread using IMG tags.

• Your hideout must be created after the release of the Trial of the Ancestors expansion.
  
• Your hideout should represent the theme you selected.
  
• Hideouts that have previously been featured in the Hideout Showcase news series or submitted to the Hideout Showcase forum are not eligible for entry.
  
• Your hideout must be your own work.
  
• Your hideout must be safe to showcase (nothing lewd or offensive).
  
• Submit your hideout from the account that the hideout is on. Please leave the hideout intact until the judging is complete, so that we can check it.
  
• You may participate in both categories, but we are only accepting one submission per category. In this case, please upload .hideout files for both submissions.

Best of luck to everyone! We can't wait to see what you create.
