Hello there, adventurers! Here's a short update with a few bug fixes and gameplay improvements we've made since our Early Access launch.
Rune Tower
Recreated the lift in the Rune Tower, and reworked the operation of the pushable walls to be a much smoother experience
Added an exit to the rune tower, you can now escape and try again later or explore other areas of Aellion!
General performance improvements
Gray Temple
Reworked the Gray Temple lift both visually and mechanically
Improved bomb-able areas in the temple to make them a bit easier to hit
Added a few more torches to help guide you through the temple
Controls
Increased the weight of bombs, meaning they should now be easier and more precise to control - so you can blow up exactly what you want!
Massively improved controller support
Optimised how dodge works when using a controller
Other
Improved how player death operates visually
Reworked the lighting system - the moon will now rise quicker and shine brighter, meaning it won't get as dark in the lands of Aellion!
Fixed several dialogue bugs when chatting to Kodak & Gjork

The Roadmap of Adventure in Aellion for 2020
September: A brand new boss battle! Bug fixes, and additional combat techniques.
October: Playable area is expanded to include a new area called 'Alitha Village'. Added lantern mechanics - such as use of fire and oil in and out of combat.
November: A new dungeon to be added called 'Ameria Crypts' - head out on a quest to stop the undead swarming Aellion and unlock a brand new magical weapon!
December: This is a month dedicated to bug fixes and player feedback, so if you share your ideas for new mechanics/areas/quests on our Discord, you may seem them appear in-game in December and onwards!
We're also currently working ensuring Adventure in Aellion runs smoothly on Linux machines - we know this is important to our community so it's a top priority!
As we've said all along, we couldn't have gotten this far without the awesome support of our community. It's been a tough journey, but we're incredibly proud of what we've made together.
To many more adventure ahead -

Less than a week to go!
As we head towards our Early Access launch on August 26th - which is less than six days away! - we thought we'd give you a little insight onto how the world of Aellion is shaping up with some brand new screenshots of our latest build! 🕵️♂️
Here are some closer looks at not only some new lighting and cosmetic tweaks we've been making, but at what dungeons and areas you'll have to explore at Early Access.
I wonder what (or who) is hiding in this ruin?
Remember, if you want to check out our free beta ahead of launch, you can find it on our Discord! Our lovely community is the first place we go to to share new opportunities to play the game and we love incorporating your ideas into the game. Keep in mind that the beta build is only a glimpse of what we've been working on, there's many more surprises to come in the launch version!
Horses and horse-riding are one key feature we've been looking to improve.
What would this strange structure of light be?
We first shared these screenshots early with our newsletter readers - make sure to sign-up to get bi-weekly updates on the game straight to your inbox!
Thank you so much for all of your support so far, we couldn't have done it without you.
See you on August 26th!

Release Date Update
Hi there, all! We have a big announcement that's been a real tough decision to make, but we feel it's best for the future of Adventure in Aellion.
We're delaying the Early Access launch of the game to August 26th 2020. This is largely due to making sure we have the time to implement the awesome feedback we've had since launching the public beta. We really want to make sure this game is not only developed by us, but created together as a community.
Our beta build will still be available via our Discord - sign up here: https://discord.gg/WGv9MMC
