So I was feeling proud, thanks to my efforts, all of your efforts as players of the demo, as well as Bea’s efforts in bug hunting, the 1.0.01 release went off without any major game-breaking errors. I managed to mess that up with 1.0.06 and those doors nobody asked for 😅. It’s possible that plenty of you never actually noticed the bug, but here’s what happens:

1. A villager is heading towards home. Before 1.0.06, they just knew the game coordinates where they were going, and that they were going to rest. However, in order to get them to open doors just before arriving, I added a variable to store the building they were going to.
   
2. You upgrade the house that they live in. (Demolishing it might cause the same problem.) This technically destroys their old house and builds a new one in the same location, except your original gold payment gets credited to the new building.
   
3. They get really close to their destination and try to open the door on a building that no longer exists. (The same things happens if you demolish it while they’re sleeping: they finish sleeping, then try to open that door.)
   
4. In many cases, Godot’s error handling deals with it decently well, and apart from a missing door sound & animation, the villager moves on with their life.
   
5. However, the old building and door may have already gone through garbage collection. To oversimplify a technical concept, the garbage truck has already come by to take the trash out of the dumpster. So Iron Village crashes.

Since there’s a possibility of crashes, and the error handling can have side effects in how the simulation runs, I’m pushing out another build, 1.0.09. As an added bonus, you get a new piece of UI and a couple of tweaks I was working on for 1.1. (Some other incomplete features have been disabled.) Here’s the full list:

• Fixed coal and iron hoppers to carry their loads 1 pixel higher.
  
• Added “Meals” to the Level 4 Permit Document

• Autosale Notifications! I meant to get these into 1.0.06, but didn’t quite find the time. Anyway, now when an autosale gets made, you’ll see a summary of the gold you made, plus the goods that were sold.

A big milestone was achieved this month, with the Steam store page being officially live, and the game having been announced! Players can now wishlist the game and follow updates as I get closer to launch. Wishlisting is a huge help for smaller games like mine, so if you’re excited to play, go ahead and hit that button!


For all the Steam Deck users out there, good news: the game runs on Steam Deck! While there are still some minor optimizations to be made, the core gameplay works smoothly, making it possible to take on high-precision challenges from anywhere.

I’ll continue refining performance to make sure it feels just as tight and responsive on handheld as it does on a PC. If you’re playing on Steam Deck, feel free to drop feedback - it’s always helpful to fine-tune the experience!


Want to get hands-on with the game before release? The Steam Playtest is now live! This is an extra, extra early way to try the game, provide feedback, and help shape development.

• How to join: Sign up via the Steam store page.
• How it works: Players will be let in in batches so I can gather feedback, fix bugs, and improve gameplay step by step.
• How long does it last? The Playtest will be running until the end of April, so there’s plenty of time to jump in!

The goal of this Playtest is to gather feedback on core gameplay, physics, and challenge design. If you’re into fast-paced precision driving and brutal obstacles, I’d love to hear your thoughts!


More challenges have been added this month, expanding the range of environments, obstacles, and hazards players will have to conquer. New challenge areas also mean more vehicles to master, each bringing a unique handling style.

While I didn’t get as many challenges finished as I wanted, progress is steady. Balancing each challenge to feel fun, fair, and chaotic in the right way takes time, but the results are shaping up to be worth it.

March was a huge month with:

• Store page being launched and the game officially announced
• Steam Deck support confirmed
• Steam Playtest opened for early players
• New challenges and vehicles added

Next month, my focus is clear: more challenges. The goal is to make all singleplayer challenges playable to a certain extent. After that I will be focusing on making sure each challenge feels polished and exciting.

If you’re in the Steam Playtest, keep the feedback coming - it’s been incredibly helpful so far. And if you haven’t joined yet, there’s still time!

Until next time, happy gaming!

Hello, and welcome to the fourth Level Showcase for Echoes of Eldoria! Today, we'll be offering a look at the third level of the game, Reisa Sands:



By the time the wizard climbs out of the towering Faelyn Falls, the sun has set and it is now nighttime. However, the wizard has no time to rest! Luckily, his next challenge is the desert ruins of Reisa Sands, filled with old torches that the wizard can reignite to light his way forward! As he climbs through the mysterious ruins, the wizard searches for his lost Gravity Grasps, which can be worn to reverse gravity when the wizard is near certain zones!





Stay tuned for future Level Showcases!

HUMANITY Stage Jams invite our expanding community of USER STAGES designers to craft new levels based on a central theme. For April 2025, the theme is SNAKE, focused on using the Follow command to lead lengthy lines of humans through puzzle challenges. Maybe it’s reinterpreting the classic “Snake” game mechanics, using a long line of humans to activate switches, or coiling your people onto small motorized platforms. But you can take this theme in any direction you want! Stage creators of all skill levels are welcome to participate, and if you’re just a player—keep your eyes peeled for a STAGE JAM playlist within USER STAGES highlighting stages made as part of the theme!

Creators can take this theme in any direction they’d like. To highlight the theme even more, we’ll play these stages during our HUMANITY Hub Community Stream in April. Follow our Twitch channel at https://www.twitch.tv/EnhanceExperience to be notified when we go live.

Join the Enhance Discord server at https://discord.gg/enhance, and share your creations in the #create-and-share channel. Discuss stage creation ideas, learn more about creating stages, or play stages together.

How to participate (it’s simple!):

• 📖 Create and upload new stages (not something previously shared, please) inspired by the monthly theme. Feel free to interpret the theme any way you want!
  
• 🏷️ Don’t forget to share with the monthly Stage Jam tag (in this case, it’s SNAKE JAM)
  
• ✏️ Share your jam creations in #create-and-share on Discord.
  
• 🎮 Play and discuss stages made by other creators.

Jam guidelines:

1. We ask that participating stages be new creations designed after the jam theme’s announcement, not something that you have already created or uploaded.
   
2. Have fun, and encourage others who are designing.
