I'm Seppo Suorsa, an indie game developer from Finland. My new game, Runerock Arena, is a gladiator management game that combines tactical turn-based combat and RPG elements.

Your journey towards the Runerock League Championship is about to begin. The best way to support the development is to add the game to your Steam Wishlist!

You are also warmly welcome to join our community on Discord, where you can share your thoughts and follow the development process more closely: https://discord.gg/8HgVSVZAks

Thank you for your support!

This is an announcement that Astral Blaze will transition to being a Free-to-play game in the following weeks. This was decided to make the game accessible to more players. Special thanks to everyone that supported the game by buying it up to now.

- Fix Day 8 start
- Fix variable in day 5, day 6 with "dark root" for Mina

• Ensured Ammo Counter Only Displays "NO AMMO" read when weapons that require

  ammo are equipped

• Fixed an issue with sprites from shops not rendering correctly

  
  What's next?:
  
  The following are features that are not yet implemented and are a concept in design.
  
  - Attempting to rework a Color coded mode into the game that allows the player to choose

• 1. The color of enemies

• 2. The color of items

• 3 the color of projectiles

• 4 the color of chests

• 5 the color of doorways

  To allow the player to better understand what they are looking at
  
  This mode will be optional but will not effect any gameplay rewards.

Last Friday I attended an Oslo Gamedev Meetup and some of the people there tried my game, and it quickly became obvious there were two big issues!

The first one was problematic, quite a few of the players actually skipped the intro sequence completely without really noticing, which meant they did not actually get to read the instructions!

The second one is that the demo version was old. Quite old, it was actually based on the version 1.1.0 from March this year, which means it was missing quite a few quality of life improvements, item descriptions, interactions and images as well. Plus also the fact the demo was quite short so one of the players actually found the back of the house in just a couple minutes and reached the end.

So this version 1.2.3 solves these three issues:

• The intro sequence is now skipped by pressing ESCape instead of SPACE or ENTER (but a text tells you if you bash the keyboard and nothing happens)
  
• The demo version has been updated to this same version 1.2.3
  
• The demo now allows you to enter the house (so you have access to the basement and ground floor), more than tripling the amount of things you can do in the game

I hope you'll like the changes, and feel free to point out any issue you see!
