We listened to your wishes and implemented a variety of new objects into the game. These objects open up new ways for you to explore the game world and promote your strategic thinking. From different types of barriers to functional elements, these new objects expand your tactical possibilities and offer exciting new ways to overcome your challenges.


One of the biggest changes in this update is the introduction of the stationary base. This robust structure serves as a central hub for your operations and offers a variety of resource management and planning features. Use it as a strategic retreat or as a headquarters for your expeditions - the possibilities are endless.


To further deepen the immersion in our game worlds, we introduced new textures that bring every detail to life. From the picturesque landscape to the smallest details, the new textures provide a breathtaking visual experience and immerse you even deeper in the world.


Light plays a crucial role in the atmosphere of a game, and that's why we worked hard to optimize the lighting effects. Experience more realistic lighting scenarios that perfectly capture the mood of each scene and take your gaming experience to a new level.


We know how important a smooth gaming experience is, and that's why we also focused on game performance. The new update includes a variety of improvements designed to increase the overall performance of the game. Enjoy a smoother and more immersive experience as you explore the new content.


We've also revised the tutorial and added new dialogue to help you get started with the game and give you an even more comprehensive introduction to the world.

In order to inform you about the actual changes in detail, we have put together a changelog that will be published together with the update. There you can see and read about all the innovations at a glance. We'll also summarize the most important changes to make sure you're well informed.

By the emperor, it's here!

Thanks for the wait, traveler - we know it's been long. But your patience will finally be rewarded with a fully unseen main story arc! Also, not to forget: CARRIER SHIPS. 🚀

As it has taken some time, lots of other things have piled up too, so make sure you don't miss the details! Although we're confident that this will keep you entertained for a while (as we shift our focus back to general QoL improvements and more frequent updates again) we do have more in store - this is not the last storyline expansion by far, and we assure you that all of them will come in form of free updates!

Cheers,
the Warp Turtle crew







Continue the saga! A brand new story experience that comes with:

The initial concept was created so long ago, it was written on papyrus...


Turmoil is rising within the Sphere. Old ideals stand in conflict with major upheavals caused by the hands of time - feeding discontent under the surface of this highly evolved faction. Frontiers seem to be hardening to an irreversible extent and call for decisions. According to the Sphere's solidified traditions, there can only be one instance of power. A new, exceptionally young emperor sees himself confronted with the massive task to decide over the fate of the biggest high-tech civilization the solar system has ever seen - will you help him to pave the way for a stable future for the Sphere?


The big ceremony - a major turning point in the imperial bloodline.

The Loyalist fleet: Including a reworked Nancho, and of course the new carrier.

A mysterious incident reveals ships of unknown origin.


LANGUAGE NOTE:
As you'd expect, the new story is heavy on words. Therefore, the new arc translations - RU, CN, DE, ES - will not be complete from the start. We apologize for this (kind of sad to reset the localization info on the storepage back to "partial" with new content) - and promise we try to make progress asap, but for now we'll have to ask you for a bit more patience here.


CARRIERS: CHECK!

We know you've been eagerly waiting for them - again, thanks for your patience - but there's no need to wait any longer, just go ride these whales (although you have to finish the arc first ;))!

• Weapon Type
  As previously introduced with the turret placement system, carriers use ships as weapons - just in form of equipable turrets called launch bays.
  
• Behavior
  With a set weapon target, employed bays will launch a fleet of autonomous ships right at the enemy, fighting until death (no matter whose) and redock if the target is destroyed.
  
• Availability
  Two carrier versions (Sphere, Loyalists) and their respective launch bays will be available at jiraiya, Jamey Tien and Hoshi after the end of the storyline.

Besides the two carrier versions, all the other ships seen above (whole Loyalist fleet, machine ships) are available in some way - either by purchasing them at a ship trader or by scanning and crafting.



The new main story comes with a bunch of new achievements for the modern completionist's profile!

Over 16 new songs!

• The story expansion features songs from Miguel's new album "2184" (seen from the GB timeline: a true retro-classic ;)) and an even newer track "The Mission" became the new main menu theme!
  
• In the meantime, our artist who had always been handling all our music, became a music producer himself and contributed tracks to the new arc soundtrack - Kouji's "Eyes of Fury" theme, Pai Pai's ceremonial song, some loops and the trailer score, as well as an unknown number of sound FX. :D
  
• Aside from the arc soundtrack, there are also some additional ambient tracks and a default moon landable theme!

New locations on the Sphere and Loyalist capitals: Imperial garden, Nancho throne and command bridge

• 🇪🇸 Spanish: partial translation - after an unknown hero named shadowman1 had been quietly working on the ES translation for years, we spent another while finishing the rest 100% (hola, viajero espacial ;)) - before the Sphere arc completion though, which means that it's currently in the state of Mai 2023 and missing major parts of the new arc!
  
• Portraits: Beside 15 (!) new portraits in the context of the Sphere arc, there is now a female default pirate with 3 versions. Also, Kouji's portrait, as seen in the title artwork, was completely redesigned from scratch!
  
• Wave weapon: a somewhat experimental thing. Let us know what you think!
  
• Dai-Naoru, a repair laser with a super-long range!
  
• FX: White Hole animations and audio design, map icon
  
• Audio: new ship collision sound and a whole bunch of other new FX
  
• Some new cargo icons
  
• Music disks as readables: Start your music collection with Rhapsody in Deep Blue and Eyes of Fury - both come with unique cover art and can be played back at any time.

• Message and portrait box: complete overhaul (borderless design, portrait scanlines added)
  
• Tooltip improvements: layout rework (including stats resorting and new credits and weight icons), tbc!
  
• Reworked assets: radar HUD, checkbox graphic to toggle, menu cursor, close button, new game char selector, tab bar changes, loading screen icon, some divider lines and other details

• Support view sharing with npc ships
  
• Location polishing: Hokucho gate, Supreme Court, The Zone, Hokucho Imperial City quick-polishing

• Sphere judge, Jack Sperrholz, Sphere / Loyalist military, Sphere male 1 (x7), CoC male 1 (x8)

• Default planet atmosphere visual upgrade
  
• Advanced cam zooms, improved fireworks, spotlight FX polishing
  
• "3 frame animation" emitters (Machine Ship)
  
• Audio: Separate cheering crowd from firework
  
• Audio: Functionality for playing SFX without background music

• Pluto stays locked if Noob Henderson was destroyed during the journey to Caduceus.
  
• Mission progress and Finish Mission didn't trigger correctly during 'Revealing Xentron'
  
• Mouse input and cursor loss on resolution change when a landable window is open
  
• Defending ships with an existing valid weapon target should regain the attack behavior
  
• Unintentional Delga and Nobunaga death dialog pop-up
  
• Multiple places have the wrong leading person
  
• Readable music is not always playing/stopped
  
• Landable talk to person triggers 2 sounds if person is mission target
  
• UI: Portrait box seams on full HD (message, origin, character selection)
  
• UI: Controller icons LB scaling bigger than RB
  
• UI: Word-wrap missing on mission instructions / dialog question
  
• Javelot dropped an Aries blueprint
  
• "Additional Armor" device: price correction (III had same price as II)
  
• Pirate Fortress fight auto pause keeps triggering
  
• Multiple missing translation string
  
• NPC ships do not activate the thrusters sometimes
  
• Reduce the ship attack approach angle if the target is way bigger than us
  
• UI: Analysis render window should not switch the cursor when hovered
  
• Crash when loading cargo with a ship type with an invalid name

Age of War - Chapter 4 is in the wild and the hunt is on! This chapter, we wanted to further explore the styles of the Zingarans and the mercenaries at their employ - so today, let’s take a look at some Zingaran themed rewards included in Age of War - Chapter 4’s Battle Pass!  

 



Zingarans are a refined, complex people, and we wanted to reflect the sophistication with which their nobility would adorn sellswords and soldiers. Zingara’s frequent contact with the pirates of the Barachan Isles would also influence their armor and clothing, adding a maritime appearance on top of the pomp.




Along with their navy, the Zingarans were also renowned for their swordsmanship - specifically, in the art of fencing! You’ll be able to obtain a Zingaran Rapier as a one-hand sword variant, and even a special weapon emote later on!



The Zingaran Mercenary Guard Dog, inspired by the real-world Spanish Mastiff, is an excellent lad and also a pet you can earn from the Battle Pass! Just be excellent back.



For the first time, we’re adding a set of matching building pieces across the Battle Pass! As you progress through Age of War Chapter 4, you’ll be able to earn the following parts of the Zingaran Mercenary Camp Wall set:

Zingaran Mercenary Camp Perimeter Wall - Foundation
Zingaran Mercenary Camp Perimeter Wall - Straight Wall Section
Zingaran Mercenary Camp Perimeter Wall - Outer Curved Wall Section
Zingaran Mercenary Camp Perimeter Wall - Inner Curved Wall Section
Zingaran Mercenary Camp Perimeter Wall - Gate Frame
Zingaran Mercenary Camp Perimeter Wall - Gate Door



Of course, this is in addition to a slew of other decorations, emblems, and placeables in the Age of War Chapter 4 Battle Pass!





Thanks for reading, Exiles! We’ll see you on the Sacred Hunt.

Work has begun on creating cross-play between Steam and Epic Game Store players. This is a requirement of the EGS for multiplayer games when the game is placed in the EGS (yes, the game is planned to be placed in the EGS).

---

Here are approximate plans for the upcoming updates, which are scheduled for the end of May.
The Westburg, in which the player can safely progress to the tier-1: simple tools, simple clothing, simple crafting, simple production and simple housing.
A tutorial system is planned for introduction to the game.
Traders and simple quests are planned to obtain items and coins.

Hello and welcome to this Exiori Update!

Here is what is new:

-You can now play the entire game as Female Krosuji. (Please keep in mind that not all of her NSFW content is out and can be accessed in the future when available).

-You can now fight the Squirrel King in the Hood.

-Anima Cards have returned from Euclyca and are accessible from Chapter One onwards!

-Fixed some Grammar.

-Made it so you can actually go into the Tilnern Tombstone area as there
was no way to get there before and it was overlooked. You can get there from inside the Tilnern Graveyard to the North-East.

-Added in Female Krosuji into Soneraka Online.

*Please note that Female Krosuji NSFW content is costly and requires more time and that Elruna Episode 2 is in progress as well. Thank you for your patience. If you like Exiori, please spread it around and share it so that others can experience it!
