Stegosoft and DANGEN have been working for the past year to get a physical edition of Ara Fell and Rise of the Third Power made, and we can finally announce that we've done it!
I know a lot of folks have been asking where they can find a soundtrack for these two games, and I'm happy to share that we've secured the rights to have Ara Fell's soundtrack included in the collector's edition. In total, there's about ~30 songs on the CD!
There's some other cool stuff in the collector's box, too. Here's the full contents:
Ara Fell soundtrack CD
A double-sided cloth map of Lita's hand-drawn map of Ara Fell
An enamel pin of half the Rise party ferrying in Lilly's boat
Plus the game box looks pretty amazing - I personally cant wait to have it on my shelf.
Thanks to everyone that encouraged us to make this happen. I think I'm looking forward to getting a copy of this as much as you are!
Here's a link to the regular and collector's editions of the game, for both Switch and Playstation: https://t.co/2vEls2cx5X

Patch 1.05 - New Quality of Life Features and Bug Fixes
We have another round of fixes and requested features finished up!
Once again, thank you to everyone in the community who has submitted bugs or given feedback on what features would make the game better. For anyone playing on a non-Steam platform, these changes will be out on your platform in the coming weeks.
New Features
A tutorial has been added for exhaustion
A tutorial has been added for multi-targeting (e.g. Rowan's taunt)
A tutorial has been added for crafted equipment
The Character menu now shows characters' MP regen stat

You can now view your active inn buffs and their remaining duration from the party menu
More information has been added to the swap menu so that players can make better informed decisions
Gameplay Changes
When using a heal skill or item that affects allies, the lowest HP character will be preselected instead of the top-row character
When using a non-heal skill or item that affects allies, the caster will be preselected instead of the top-row character
The Perfect Strikes talent now correctly doubles the damage of Spearhead when it procs
The Poisoner's Band now works correctly. It's effect applies to the character casting poison abilities, which means it applies to the caster of the Poison Weapon skill and the caster of the Soporific Aura skill

Knowledge potions now correctly grant +100% experience instead of +200% experience
Counterattack can no longer be applied multiple times. Recasting it now replaces the original effect
Counter Attack and Reactive Armor now highlight their effect taking place better
Pseudo-RNG for bonus turns and loot has been slightly nerfed. It now clears the bonus chance when a natural proc occurs rather than keeping it rolling forward
The Master Trader achievement no longer counts crafting orbs toward the required unlocked items count and will therefore no longer unlock earlier than it's supposed to
The Assassin's Band accessory has been added to the Angelico store (in case players don't unlock it in Port Folio, to prevent locking out the Master Trader achievement)
Arkadyan Tundra Fly enemies can now stack their poison effect
The guard commanders in the Castle Evenheart intro will no longer use Battle Orders: Speed on their first turn
Dodging no longer prevents rage generation

Fixed the turn icons of ghost enemies
Issue with Rowan drinking no longer occurs when completing the Nadim side quest late-game

Character Profile: Aden
Hey everyone!
It's been a while since we've taken a closer look at one of the R3P characters.
Aden
Aden, ???: Little is known of the warlock known as Aden. He keeps his secrets and his motives largely to himself. He's on a mission to kill Viktoriya, but the reason is as mysterious as he, himself. He's the moody type, to say the least, disinterested in conversation or social interactions in general. He's often found brooding quietly by himself. Still, he seems to have eyes for someone in the party...
In battle, his dark powers can be used to summon demons and deteriorate the life force of his enemies, stacking progressively more powerful degenerative effects over time.

It's time to meet the fourth character in Rise of the Third Power!
Reyna Bertrand
Reyna, 32: Cirinthian, Priestess of the Celestial sect of the Empyrean Faith, healer, and high ranking member of the Resistance. She has one goal, which she will stop at nothing to achieve, and that is averting the Second Great War. She strives to be kind and nurturing, but to stop the war, there is no price too high, no rule that can't be bent, no code that can't be broken. She will not abide watching those caskets flowing into her church, not again.
In battle, she heals and protects her compatriots while also using her Celestial powers to augment allied abilities, as well deal her own powerful magical attacks.

Character Profile: Arielle
Hey everyone!
We hope you're enjoying the latest patch fixes! Time to meet another of the main cast!
Arielle Liriatta
Arielle, 18: One of the three daughters of King Horatio, she is a princess of the naval powerhouse, the kingdom Cirinthia. Her father played a major role in the fight against the Arkadyans during the Great War, but now seeks to ally with them to achieve his own ambitions. Arielle has no interest in politics or adventure, yet is forced to play both games simultaneously.
She somehow manages to engage enemies with a ship's cannon. It takes a moment to prepare and aim, but when she does, her cannon rains down devastating area-of-effect damage.
