Hello, we are back with another dev log. This time, with an update on what we have been up to over the last couple of weeks and some news about our first public showcase!

Sofie, our artist, has been busy getting updated models for ships and monsters into the game, as we are aiming for a more gritty visual tone than what we initially had. The pirate faction in the game is also using captured ships from other factions, so we have been working on how to portray that. Yes, this is an Imperial ship but it is being crewed by seagoing scoundrels, so we show this by painting them in more rusty and grimy colors.



The ship hulls have also been updated to have more pronounced silhouettes to make them look less cute at a distance.



The Needler enemy also got a redesign to look more fierce and hostile. Sofie has drawn inspiration from deep-sea anglerfish in her redesign. It’s quite scary-looking, if I should say so myself!

We have been selected to showcase Sea Of Rifts at Copenhagen Gaming Week in the upcoming weekend, which is quite exciting since it’s the first time we will show the game to the public. Some work has gone into polishing the game, with our writer Fergus getting familiar with the in-house tools Alex has created to make narrative content for the game.

On top of that, we also wanted to have something that would draw people into our booth and therefore decided to make a custom rudder controller for the game! The next blog post will be about how it was showcasing the game and will go into more detail on how we built the controller and got it connected to the game.



That’s all for this time. Please give us a wishlist if you haven’t already :)

Hello there,

Sound Hotfix !

Improvements

First of all, Happy new Year to everyone!
In the name of the team I have to apologize.
The game has been taken down by Valve because someone complained for a trademark infrigement.

Quick explanation, so you know what happened.
Then, content of the update and what is coming next !


Mid 2023 someone registered the name "Noreya" in Europe. It's not to make a game, not at all, but that person decided to attack us for copyright infrigement.

We got a very little time to understand what was happening, in a buzy period when everyone is in vacation with their family.

I tried to understand/solve the issue talking with Valve's team but the time for my lawyer to get in, the game was down.

So, is the game name Noseka? Only on Steam for now.
We are claiming our copyright and intellectual property rights and defending our creation against this illegitime trademark attack. But all this paperwork thing will take time and in the meantime, we will move to Noseka on Steam.

Until when? I don't know, I cannot say, it is out of my scope and it is the first time someone is attacking "me" for a name that was not even in the "video game industry" or art.

But it is what it is and right now, I want to focus on the game with the team rather than fighting.

PS: also I do apologize for the Winter Sales, we are locked now and cannot start a new "sale" before 30 days. I asked the support if something can be done about that.

So... Let's do what indies do well: exciting games!



We have been working on this modification for several weeks because we were not sufficiently satisfied with the early game (the first 2-3 hours), which tended to lose players to much.

Indeed, Metroidvanias tend to give you powers regularly, in each biome. And usually, "exploring other areas" is punished or impossible.

However, in Noseka, we wanted to create a beginning that is both linear and permissive. Many of you thought you were not following the good path, so we made this modification hoping it improves the experience for new players!

It is not the first time in this game development story.
But this is not a definitive name.

This fourth major boss got a large golden sword.
Its gameplay will surprise you!
Another opponent that is completely different from the others.

Of course this is a first version, and we will make adjustments based on your initial impressions!

In this version, we have added some spells!

We have been working on improving the skill tree for a while. In this patch, in addition to several fixes, we have added new skills that will please you, including "fast-travel," which allows you to teleport from one statue to another, finally!



There are still some "hidden" skills that will arrive in January/February.

It is a new off-map area that is now available!

For now, it is very small, but in the future, we will add some content inside. Perhaps more in the future ;)

You will find this ambiance/music in biome 6 "The Forgotten Fortress," which will be available in an upcoming patch!




The next patch "0.7" will feature more areas to explore and maybe one new boss if it is ready.
Some exciting features and an overall improvement.

We will post a dev blog very soon to talk more about the "behind the scenes" waiting for this new patch.


This blog post was supposed to concludes 2023, but it will mark the beginning of 2024 instead!

Thanks for all the supportive messages we received during this dark times.
We will do our best to make 2024 an exciting year and we will push the game as much as we can.
