  One Year of Alvara: Major Update and Playtest Reopened!

  Dear Alvarians! So many new things this October! You’ve been with us for a year now, and Alvara keeps growing day by day thanks to you. Today, we have a huge update! Here’s a non-exhaustive list of the new features (there are so many that we’re afraid of missing a few :) ): Added fatigue and equipment animations for all characters. Adjusted buttons in the equipment menu (character selection). Improved cameras during discussions for better immersion. Created profiles for missing NPCs to display their faces during conversations. Removed birds in the sky: the rendering wasn’t satisfactory. Created a new marketing image to better represent the game as a whole. Tutorial texts: More concise, but still being finalized. Bug fixes (multiple NPCs appearing in the team, map menu issues, etc.). Equipment menu change: Now on the first page of the inventory, making it easier to change equipment. Added a few dead animals for a more realistic atmosphere. Added a "Tired" pose in combat to visually represent character fatigue. Improved the tutorial by adding inserts. Jean seemed too knowledgeable, which wasn’t narratively coherent. Improved some dialogues to enhance response consistency. Recalibrated final lines that overlapped with player responses. Added missing character icons in some dialogues. Fixed a bug making certain items or special abilities unreadable in combat. Fixed a major bug with Akhakhréna’s fight not starting. Revised all menu backgrounds. Fixed minor consistency bugs (quest updates, etc.). What more can we say? A video will show you some of these updates (and not even all of them!) Good news: the Playtest is open again! Join us to test the latest features and help improve the game. We’re waiting for you on Discord: https://discord.gg/44BjkxZ4En Your feedback is invaluable to us, and your Steam reviews, no matter how short, literally keep us going. But like Soana, we know we can count on you. See you soon!
