Destiny of Altrais
Final Updates
One downside to this new patch that will be coming out 22Jan19 is that while it will introduce minimaps for the player, all current save files will be corrupted. We understand this is frustrating especially if you have put in a large amount of time into your save file. Due to the nature of how the maps work there is no work around for this so when the patch comes out on 22Jan19 the players will need to create a new game file.
While there were many requests to make this game a mobile application that is yet to be seen if MAGES can accomplish it. Also, MAGES has tried hard to establish Steam Achievements for DoA and has not been able to accomplish it. While this is frustrating on both sides there are in-game achievements to enjoy and we will use this information moving forward to present better products through the Steam store.
Important Dates:
22Jan19: Final Patch of DoA (Includes Maps!)
TBD: Trailer for Night Sky
Understanding DoA
While it may not make sense that the Inns cost less than the potions that you take with you and they heal less, this is to help you understand the necessity to prepare for battles ahead of time. Many of the enemies have various levels of attacks that seem overpowered but there are also different types of skills and consumables within the game that will provide you a unique advantage over them. Learning what these items/skills are, is part of the experience of DoA.
We will continue to patch and update the game as necessary to make sure there are no game breaking glitches or major bugs if they are found but changes to the enemies/items will be minimal.
Understandably DoA seems challenging for a JRPG style game and that is what we were trying to accomplish. A challenging game with enjoyable commentary, combat and the occasional fun references.
Thank you again for your interest in this game.
IT'S HERE
Pushed Out Release Date
I am truly sorry we did not make our estimated release date of 1 Aug. Upon review of what is still needing to be accomplished I have decided to push out the release date at least one month to make sure when the game is released it is a full game with little to no bugs. As customers you deserve the best even if it means waiting for it so I am going to ask everyone to wait just a little bit longer while I finish up.
Thank you everyone and stay tuned for the next patch updates!
Twitch Stream
As you are all well aware we are coming closer to the end of the month and that much closer to the release of DoA. With that in-mind, we will be hosting a special Twitch live stream event where anyone who would like to can ask questions about DoA prior to its release will have the opportunity. This will be happening on the 22nd of July starting at 6:00 PM Pacific and available to anyone. During this time our lead developer will be available to provide any updates and answers. This will last for approximately 1 hour. Please use the link below to access the sponosored Twitch Stream page.

Patches Incoming
Thank you for your continued patience while our testers continue to break...I mean test the game. Our dedicated testers have been hard at work to make this game good for all players and to help us remove the bugs. As of today, Steam has authorized the release of the game, but we will hold to our new date of 30Jul18 as the soonest. Understandably people are waiting for this game to release and we appreciate you adding us to the Wishlist. We are holding to the new release date but have some exciting news to share. Every time we send out patches to our testers, it will be posted on the discussions board under the new topic of PATCHES. This will allow not only our testers to see how much we hate how they are breaking the game, but also to provide you the future users with how we are trying to make things better.
Feel free to throw any comments or questions you may have on this discussion board and we will answer them as quickly as we can. Do not worry future adventurers, Altrais is waiting for you to save it from the Evil in the East.
Builds Incoming
I know the planned release date of DoA was 2Jul, but we at MAGES are currently awaiting Steam to approve our builds so we can start getting it out to you, the customer. Our testers are still working out some bugs for us and we have decided to revamp the combat system as a whole to provide for more dynamic combat that is both challenging and fair. With that in-mind we have pushed our release date to the end of July. Thank you for being patient while we work through this and feel free to throw any questions or concerns you may have in the discussions board.
Raising the Bar
Our crazy game testers are continuing to push the limits of our builds as we get closer and closer to preparing the full release. They have decided to inform us that they feel the enemies are too easy. After sitting down with the Evil in the East he has decided to have a talk with all of his generals and they will be provided double rations to allow them to provide a more difficult journey for our adventurer.
Stay tuned for more to come.
If you make it they will break it!
Our game testers are hard at work finding ways to improve the game for you before we fully release it. Case in point one of our testers found a way to teleport himself to another map recent unheard of within the game. We looked into it and decided that he was using black magic to teleport into the old land of Altrais that wasn’t even fully developed yet.
However, since the portal has been open to this other realm we decided it would be good to show you where we started out with some of our maps and how we have developed them over the last year. Stay tuned for more hidden portals that our testers may find.
