Patch 0.04.25 - A Dev Blog & Camera, Animation, Combat!
Greetings Knight-To-Be,
We would like to take a moment to thank all of our players since the launch of Early Access for your continued support, feedback, reviews and suggestions. It has been a humbling and rewarding experience for us at Chashu Entertainment. Whether a comment is found in the Steam Discussions, Steam Reviews, the Sands of Aura Discord, or even in video reviews, we are actively paying attention to them all. So while we may not be able to respond to everything, please know that we hear you and take your comments seriously.
After the release of our latest content patch, The Rotted Throne, we began moving towards the final stages of development. What this entails are the final chapters of our story where our Knight delves deeper into the mystery surrounding Talamhel and how it came to be a world of sand. As we hit the final stages of development, we will actively inform you of our progress and share with you some of the challenges we’ve encountered along the way.
Ishular, The Ancient Kingdom of Man
We would first like to introduce you to Ishular:
Youngest of the ancient kingdoms of men, the holy city of Ishular was once a bastion of faith in Talamhel. With an ever-present gaze upon the celestial spheres, every action, every consideration, was entrusted to the Goddess Leisis and her prophet Atnael, The Prime Radiance. But that which was luminous has diminished, and the grace, the absolution, which once flowed abundantly through city streets, has mutated into a desperate miasma that now threatens to smother those it once served.
And while we would love to share more lore with you, we’ll keep it close to our hearts for now. Instead, we’ll share some concepts as well as some work-in-progress for Ishular!
And of course, Ishular, would not be complete without its deadly denizens:
A lot goes into bringing these locals to life for our small team. And for the curious, here is some insight into our process.
We begin with a concept for our creatures, some adorable and some horrifying. Then our animator and modeler (yes, the same person) is first tasked with creating these beautiful, yet deadly, beings for the most worthy of challengers. Next up, they’ll be given some love from our VFX and SFX specialists to really get them ready for the dance. Followed up by our AI mastermind that’ll find the most devastating way to send you back to Leisis. And finally, they’ll be sprinkled into the world for our Knights to run from defeat.
This is but just a taste of what we have in store for Ishular and there is plenty more work to be done. We cannot wait for you to experience these challenges. Throughout the rest of development we’ll be sharing with you how far they have come along in our Discord, Twitter and Dev Blogs. In the meantime, please let us know what you think so far!
Camera, Camera, Camera
Sands of Aura’s camera is probably one of the more difficult problems for our team to solve. It is also one of the most discussed features by our players. One of our goals for Sand of Aura was to encapsulate a souls-like combat with a top-down camera, instead of the more familiar, over-the-shoulder camera you’d find in most souls-like games.
This design goal of ours presented us with quite a few challenges and limitations. One of the essence of souls-like combat is being able to read and understand your opponent’s actions based upon their animations and move sets; to be able to time your strikes, blocks and dodges in such a manner that you can eliminate your foes unscathed. In a more traditional over-the-shoulder camera, your view is much closer to the action which allows you to ‘read’ the actions more easily. This becomes a problem in a top-down camera where your view is much further from the enemy and your character. Thus, the question we asked was “How do we ensure the player’s and enemies’ actions are readable with this view”.
To tackle this we first attempted to simply adjust the zoom factor and pitch values of the camera. Initially it looked like it would be the solution to our problem. However we quickly realized that trying to find that perfect spot for the camera is not as simple as we had hoped. The problems that arose throughout the adjustments had a trickling effect on the environment, enemy visuals, and combat. If the pitch was too high or too low and if the zoom was too far or too close it would affect the overall gameplay design of different levels. Players could easily miss certain areas, characters or items due to these values. Additionally it would have a large impact on combat visuals. After extensive testing, we had believed we came up with the perfect solution. Unfortunately, that was not the case. Everyone has a preferred zoom and pitch value, and we have had long discussions on what is best for our game.
The immediate reaction would be, “Why don’t we allow the players to control the zoom and pitch?” At that point in time during our development when this question was asked, this presented its own set of challenges. Many of our decisions in level designs and combat animations revolved around a fixed zoom and pitch factor on the camera. Then we also had way too many actions tied into the controllers that presented its own user experience issues as well. So while it would have appeared to be a simple enough solution, at the time it was a bit more complicated than we had imagined.
Throughout the development of Early Access, we wanted to eventually allow the players to have more control of what they can see, while still achieving our design goal of a unique top-down souls-like combat experience. In order to get there we began making adjustments to existing and new animations to improve readability, improved our visual effects, adapted and improved our level design philosophy, and focused heavily on the core mechanics of combat to simplify controls. As we continued development we implemented other changes along the way that would lead us to a much more flexible camera view.
After a year of working towards this goal we are extremely excited to announce that we have added more functionality to our camera. Players can now adjust the pitch and zoom of the camera within our design philosophy and goals for Sands of Aura.
While it is not in its final state, we believe it will be a significant improvement in what players can experience as they explore and fight their way through Talamhel. Please let us know what you think after experiencing the camera changes in full.
Animation Canceling
Animation Canceling is probably the most misunderstood term found in the feedback from our players. We say misunderstood because oftentimes what we consider as Animation Canceling may not necessarily be what our players are expecting. We are essentially receiving conflicting thoughts and opinions that have caused some confusion within our team on how to effectively address this challenge.
On the technical level, Sands of Aura DOES have Animation Canceling for attacks. The animation of an attack can be broken up into three stages: The wind up, the swing, and the recovery. The wind up stage is the initial movement of the weapon up to a certain point of no return for a swing due to its momentum. The swing stage is where the weapon has crossed a certain point in momentum that can not be stopped, players have committed to the attack. The recovery stage is the end of the swing or animation and will send our players back into a ready stance for the next action. Players can cancel the ‘wind up’ animation stage of attacks by dodging and blocking. It is also possible to cancel the ‘recovery’ animation stage of attacks by dodging and blocking, as well as attacking to chain the attacks into a combo.
Now while technically the Animation Canceling mechanic is present, the feel of it might not actually hit where we would like it to. So to better understand this, one of the first questions we ask our players is “What weapon are you using?” when they ‘feel’ that we do not have Animation Canceling or it is lacking. Most of the time, the answer seems to be on the slower moving weapons, such as a two-handed slashing weapon or combat style.
Animation Canceling in Sands of Aura is not equal in timing for every combat style. Each combat style has their own unique set of animations and timing. For example, using the slower two-handed slashing weapon the player would be locked into their attacks, or be in the ‘swing’ stage for longer than the faster one-handed stabbing weapon. Conversely, you would have more time to cancel an animation with a two-handed slashing weapon during the ‘wind up’ stage than a one-handed stabbing weapon.
So first, it is important for us to know which combat style was used in a player’s feedback to better understand their critiques. Once we have that information, we are able to more effectively dissect the usage of the term ‘Animation Canceling’ for their particular feedback.
Combat feel is the core focus of Sands of Aura, and Animation Canceling is a large part of that, which is why it is important for us to better understand the feedback and make adjustments and improvements that would elevate the experience.
In this patch we have added more options to cancel animations during the appropriate stages of an animation. Players will now be able to cancel animations during the ‘recovery’ stage for special attacks and dodge attacks.
Additionally, players can cancel animations in the appropriate stages by healing and jumping as well.
By creating more opportunities to cancel animations, we hope to create a more free flowing combat experience that will still capture our combat design philosophy.
Combat
Our philosophy in combat is that it should be deliberate and punishing. Deliberate in the way that your choice in that split second of combat can deliver victory or defeat. Punishing in the way of choosing to swing your weapon in the midst of an enemy attack that could cause you a great deal of harm. Should you attack, should you combo the attack, do you heal, how about block, or what about dodging? These are choices that players should make with every action they take during combat and this is the goal of our designs. Therefore, we are constantly striving to achieve that and the feedback from the community has been the beacon towards that goal.
With the changes to the camera and improvements to Animation Canceling, we believe we have improved the combat experience in a meaningful way. Aside from those changes we have also increased the invulnerability frames (iframes) of dodging. We have also improved the turn speed of the player during attacks. This change would allow players to quickly turn and face their enemies during attacks, and prevent them from feeling locked in place.
There are also small changes that we continue to make to improve the overall experience, such as improving the jumping momentum to increase the distance covered.
And some quality of life updates to our user interface, such as a Equipped icon on the pieces the players have equipped in their inventory.
As well as updating icons such as the rune dust icon found when deconstructing runes.
We will continuously find ways to improve the player’s experience and your feedback is invaluable to us, so please let us know what you think! We would love to hear it. You can find more information about the changes in this patch in the notes below.

Localization Changes
Hello Knight-To-Be!
We believe this topic warrants its own announcement, separate from our recent update -- The Rotted Throne.
Previously we have had Sands of Aura localized to various languages and continued to provide partial support of it throughout the Early Access development. We say partial because some of the language translations were not completed to the latest content nor were they updated to reflect the changes made throughout development.
We have had a significant amount of changes made throughout the entirety of the game which have left us with an improper localization overall.
While we were excited to bring Sands of Aura to the language of your choice throughout early access, we have ultimately decided to disable it for now.
We fully intend to revisit localization when we reach version 1.0 and hope to provide our players with a complete experience at that time.
We apologize for any inconveniences caused. Thank you for understanding and your continued support.

Sands of Aura - The Rotted Throne Update
Greetings Knight-To-Be,
It has been awhile since our previous update, Citadel of Steel, so we figured it was about time we dust the sand off and release our next major update: The Rotted Throne!
In the Rotted Throne, you will be able to explore the brand new major island, Black Rot Chasm; as well as some new smaller islands. Alongside it we have made some significant upgrades to combat, rune crafting, improved fast travel, some tweaks to our overall narrative, and much more to improve the gameplay experience from beginning to end. More details can be found in the notes below, but here are just some of the things that we’d like to highlight.
Quick Start
We know that our previous save wipes have been daunting and our players would like to just jump into the newest content right away. In the previous patch we implemented the Quick Start feature that provides you with ample resources, items and gear to get started. It also completes all of the required quests in the story to allow you to jump right into the latest content. While we encourage players to experience the game from start to finish, this option is available. When you enter Start Game, the Quick Start option is at the bottom of the list of files.
Black Rot Chasm
With the storm of the Flare Forge quelled and the threat of its mysterious core addressed, all hope now rests within a single jewel of crystalline fire, within a simple vial of aged elixir. From the frigid depths of The Coldwell to the suffocating darkness of The Grave, come the sounds of your footsteps, the luminous gleam of your lantern, as you strive to exhume from Talamhel every secret of its sands.
But perhaps there are some things that are best left buried…
Unexpected events have broken open the belly of the world and set loose a wave of worry regarding those brooding beneath… Once thought eternally buried, with the emergence of the Black Rot Chasm comes the threat of a new age. An age ruled not by men, not by kings nor Ferrum, but an ancient, subterranean horror known as the Hashara.
Within this mire of sickening rot, between districts inlaid with shimmering greed, waits a tale of betrayal, a tale of rebirth. As you cleave through new unrelenting enemies, as you forge new friendships and struggle to recover the secrets of the past, you must decide whether the shadow of one’s history should forever determine their future, or if the crimson stains of antiquity can truly be forgiven…
It is up to you, Knight, what emerges from that subterranean darkness…
Is it a beginning? Or is it an end?
Combat
Let us talk about our feelings, “Combat Feel”, to be precise. In any action RPG, combat is the main focus of play and if it falls short, it harms the beauty of the world we are creating. Which is why this is one area where we are actively seeking ways to improve it, while also ensuring it fits our goals and designs.
In this patch, you will be able to experience Jump Attacks and Dodge Attacks! This has been requested by the community and feedback, and we wanted to make sure it worked. And by Leisis, it is amazing.
There are other seemingly small things that can make a big impact in combat, such as sound and visual effects. We took some steps to improve this area so be sure to turn up the volume and immerse yourself in your adventures!
Rune Crafting
Runes were items you found in the world to upgrade your armor with the stats that you wanted. This update you can take that a step further with the rune crafting. Our old friend Seldom is here to help! Be sure to recruit him back to Starspire to help you unlock your armor’s potential.
You can now deconstruct the unused runes you’ve hoarded and reconstruct them into the rune you’re targeting for your build.
Fast Travel
We get it, our world is huge! While some like to enjoy the cool hot breeze flowing through their hair as they sail across the sand sea, others like to just get there on auto pilot. While Talamhel does not have any self-driving boats, we do have Fast Travel!
Previously you were able to travel between the different islands you have visited, but now we moved that system to allow you to travel between any bell you have rung.
Guardian Armor
We are extremely excited that you may now equip the Guardian Armor set!
What to look forward to next!
From here on out we will begin our final ascent to completing our world. What this means is that while this update will have a Save Wipe, it will be the last one until the release of version 1.0. And to be clear, progress during Early Access will not carry over at the Full Release. We are very excited for the final chapter of our Sands of Aura journey. We will provide more details in the future, but until then please enjoy the new update and thank you for playing!

Sands of Aura - Patch Notes 0.03.00
Greetings Knight-To-Be,
We are excited to bring to your next major update: Citadel of Steel!
The development team have been working on this quite extensively since our last release, Twin Thorns.
There are quite a few updates for you to explore: the new Talisman system, updated boat movements, new small islands and of course the Flare Forge! You can find out more about the update in the notes below. Before that here are some features that we want to highlight and provide more insight.
Save Wipes
Before we dive into the update we do want to point out a major talking point regarding our updates. Save wipes. We understand that losing your save file or needing to restart your save can feel daunting and discouraging. We understand that and we feel that pain. In all scenarios, if we are able to avoid the need to exercise a save wipe, we would avoid it.
Unfortunately, as we develop new gameplay systems, update or remove existing features we are required to do so to improve the overall experience of Sands of Aura. Most instances of our need to save wipe is because these new features can cause existing save files to not load properly.
While we wish we did not need to save wipe files, we are extremely proud of the changes we have made and features we add with each and every update. We believe that throughout this early access process we will be able to provide our players with a complete and enjoyable experience at full release.
Please keep this in mind as we progress through Early Access.
Talisman System
Prior to this patch, our players would interact with our Blessing System to improve their ability to combat enemies. We have completely replaced that with our new Talisman System!
With our previous Blessings system, you, the Knight-to-be, would go out into the world and collect Scriptures. Using these scriptures, you would return to a Priestess of Leisis and unlock different blessings (or 'power-ups') in the menu. You would then be able to unlock a certain number per tier if you had the requisite number of scriptures. We felt this system could be a bit confusing, and we heard this from community feedback, as well.
We have thus revamped the old Blessings system to a new Talisman system. With our new system, you will still find scriptures out in the world, but now there are new items out there, as well. In the new system, the Scriptures will allow you to unlock slots to equip the effects of the Talismans once they are turned in at the Church Upgrade Interactable. These new Talismans are consumable/usable items similar to the Pommels and Codices you could already be familiar with. Once consumed, you will need to return to a Priestess of Leisis to activate them.
The more Scriptures you collect, the more slots you unlock, the more Talismans you can have equipped at one time, the more powerful you become!
Grainwake Improvements
Our favorite way to travel in Sands of Aura is in our own Grainwake. We want this to be one of the highlights of your experience as you hop between islands. And now, you can quite literally hop between islands!
We have implemented the feature to apply a momentary boost to your ships movement. Timing the boost just right off of a sand wave can provide you with additional speed. Another benefit? Air time. Feel the quiet of the sky above the sand seas as you leap into the air. A moment of peace in a desolate world.
Flare Forge
The uprooting of Wilgram’s progeny has sown a renewed legacy within the wreckage of Radix Stronghold. Those tangled amongst its thorns have been liberated and the darkest corners of its brutal mausoleum have been exposed to a cleansing light. Whispers move across the sands of Talamhel. They speak of burgeoning alliances, of the germination of hope.
And yet, a storm of golden flame awaits you.
With elaborate spires of steel and stone, the Flare Forge—the very heart of the venerable Ferrum—boils against the horizon. Beneath the hiss and growl of a tempest, through a haze of hammer and spark, you will cut down specters which shamble through grand halls, discover schemes that fester in the depths of shadow, and balance upon scaffolds hung before a belly of fire. Take to the sands in an enhanced Grainwake, claim new allies, abilities and armor, as you excavate more than just riches from Talamhel’s eldest race.
There are those who would see you fail. Those who would see you broken upon the anvil of the enemy. But the choice is yours to make, Knights...
Will you restore the restraints of unfettered aspiration? Or will you embrace the inferno of desire?

Sands of Aura - Patch Notes 0.03.27
Greetings Knight-To-Be,
We are excited to bring to your next major update: Citadel of Steel!
The development team have been working on this quite extensively since our last release, Twin Thorns.
There are quite a few updates for you to explore: the new Talisman system, updated boat movements, new small islands and of course the Flare Forge! You can find out more about the update in the notes below. Before that here are some features that we want to highlight and provide more insight.
Save Wipes
Before we dive into the update we do want to point out a major talking point regarding our updates. Save wipes. We understand that losing your save file or needing to restart your save can feel daunting and discouraging. We understand that and we feel that pain. In all scenarios, if we are able to avoid the need to exercise a save wipe, we would avoid it.
Unfortunately, as we develop new gameplay systems, update or remove existing features we are required to do so to improve the overall experience of Sands of Aura. Most instances of our need to save wipe is because these new features can cause existing save files to not load properly.
While we wish we did not need to save wipe files, we are extremely proud of the changes we have made and features we add with each and every update. We believe that throughout this early access process we will be able to provide our players with a complete and enjoyable experience at full release.
Please keep this in mind as we progress through Early Access.
Talisman System
Prior to this patch, our players would interact with our Blessing System to improve their ability to combat enemies. We have completely replaced that with our new Talisman System!
With our previous Blessings system, you, the Knight-to-be, would go out into the world and collect Scriptures. Using these scriptures, you would return to a Priestess of Leisis and unlock different blessings (or 'power-ups') in the menu. You would then be able to unlock a certain number per tier if you had the requisite number of scriptures. We felt this system could be a bit confusing, and we heard this from community feedback, as well.
We have thus revamped the old Blessings system to a new Talisman system. With our new system, you will still find scriptures out in the world, but now there are new items out there, as well. In the new system, the Scriptures will allow you to unlock slots to equip the effects of the Talismans once they are turned in at the Church Upgrade Interactable. These new Talismans are consumable/usable items similar to the Pommels and Codices you could already be familiar with. Once consumed, you will need to return to a Priestess of Leisis to activate them.
The more Scriptures you collect, the more slots you unlock, the more Talismans you can have equipped at one time, the more powerful you become!
Grainwake Improvements
Our favorite way to travel in Sands of Aura is in our own Grainwake. We want this to be one of the highlights of your experience as you hop between islands. And now, you can quite literally hop between islands!
We have implemented the feature to apply a momentary boost to your ships movement. Timing the boost just right off of a sand wave can provide you with additional speed. Another benefit? Air time. Feel the quiet of the sky above the sand seas as you leap into the air. A moment of peace in a desolate world.
Flare Forge
The uprooting of Wilgram’s progeny has sown a renewed legacy within the wreckage of Radix Stronghold. Those tangled amongst its thorns have been liberated and the darkest corners of its brutal mausoleum have been exposed to a cleansing light. Whispers move across the sands of Talamhel. They speak of burgeoning alliances, of the germination of hope.
And yet, a storm of golden flame awaits you.
With elaborate spires of steel and stone, the Flare Forge—the very heart of the venerable Ferrum—boils against the horizon. Beneath the hiss and growl of a tempest, through a haze of hammer and spark, you will cut down specters which shamble through grand halls, discover schemes that fester in the depths of shadow, and balance upon scaffolds hung before a belly of fire. Take to the sands in an enhanced Grainwake, claim new allies, abilities and armor, as you excavate more than just riches from Talamhel’s eldest race.
There are those who would see you fail. Those who would see you broken upon the anvil of the enemy. But the choice is yours to make, Knights...
Will you restore the restraints of unfettered aspiration? Or will you embrace the inferno of desire?
