Hello, bumpslashers. First, we'd like to celebrate the successful release and all the players! It's been amazing. Marina and I have been so grateful that everyone has enjoyed Angeline Era's new and mysterious approach to action-adventure games, and that so many of you have taken the time to recommend the game to your friends. It really means the world to the both of us!

If you have the time, please leave a quick review on Angeline Era's store page!!! They really can help us out.

Other than that. The game is still on sale for about 1.5 more days! After that it'll be a while before you can pick it up at a discount.

I've created a new set of bundles including Angeline Era for the holiday season. As you may know, Marina and I have been making games for a long time. So if you already own Angeline Era, you can now purchase Anodyne 1 or Anodyne 2 at a discount with new complete-the-set bundles. We hope you'll enjoy playing through some of our past work!

Yes, you can now collect trading cards from playing Angeline Era! Acquire enough, and you may be able to send a bugdog in chat to one of your friends. Or, a sack of compost.

I took the time to do a little 1-week-after writeup on the game, reflecting on the game's mechanics, reception, and themes. Check it out here: https://melodicambient.substack.com/p/1-week-after-angeline-era

We still have a few new languages planned in the coming months. First up is Simplified Chinese, coming sometime in the next few weeks. In the new year, we have three more languages planned: LATAM Spanish, Russian, and German.

I cannot confirm anything yet, but we are in the process of getting some wheels moving...

First, we'd love for you to leave a review of the game if you haven't yet!!

Patch notes (v. 42.1)
* Han-Tani's Challenge properly loads. Before, starting a new game would actually meant you were playing on Melos's Trick. (Sorry!) If you thought you were doing a Han-Tani run you'll actually have to start over if you were going for the achievement!
* Separated screenshake/flash into two options. If you had it turned off, the game should have both settings turned off, so you may want to check the setting.
* Added the ability to disable double jumping for challenge runs, via the debug menu. If you're curious to try this, check the forums for info.
* Updated the credits
* Japanese/Brazilian Portuguese Localization Fixes
* Minor visual tweak in a level
* Fix a Han-Tani challenge related bug

The wait is over, patient Bumpslashers. Pick up your sword and hit the road, because Angeline Era's NOW AVAILABLE!! Explore a vast country, where every level hides in plain sight. Mysterious lands, thrilling action, and emotional twists await in Angeline Era!!!

Great news! We just got Angeline Era Steam Deck Verified! With dozens of levels to discover, Angeline Era's a perfect game to play in bed or on the go. Just pick the game up and spend a few minutes diving into one of its many levels!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2393920/Angeline_Era/

The wait's nearly over, Bumpslashers! On December 8th, we'll be releasing Angeline Era to the world. It's been about a 3.5 year journey for Marina and I (Melos) making our largest game yet, alongside help from our localization teams, marketing assistants, and playtesting community, and we can't wait to share it with you!

The game will launch at a 20% discount at $19.99, and revert to its base price of $24.99 after a 14-day sale.

(Regional pricing: JPY 3200, EUR 23.99, GBP 20.99, CNY 95.00, AUD 36.99, CAD 32.99)

We will also be launching with a two-volume OST, and possibly a files-only bonus content DLC (if we have time.)

It will be available in four languages: English, Japanese, Simplified Chinese and Brazilian Portuguese.

The game is fully compatible on Steam Deck, Windows and Mac.

Until next time...!

Hi everyone! Melos from the dev team here. I forgot to announce this on steam, but we are planned for a Q4 2025 release!! Well, we can't announce the exact date yet... but barring any unexpected delays the game should be out this year! Hooray! Recently we've been finishing up the various cutscenes. Then we'll do a final art and testing pass to release the game.

Uh... right well that's all I have to say... you can wishlist it here...

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2393920/Angeline_Era/

If you haven't yet, enjoy a photo of the overworld!

Hey all! Melos from the team here. We made a recent devlog post- if you're interested, just search "Melos Han-Tani Substack" on google and read the latest post!

But I'll summarize a bit here.

So, we are on good progress for releasing this year - likely still November or December!

We may only be releasing in English first with a localized version coming in following months, although at a minimum we are trying to have Simplified Chinese and Brazilian Portuguese available at launch. Our remaining target languages (Russian, Japanese, Korean, Spanish) will be done if we make enough money.

One big milestone for us is finishing the overworlds. Angeline Era has a lot of levels - between 8-20 hours for a single playthrough depending how thorough you are. Here's a preview of one of the first overworld areas:

Outside of that, I finished the music, a bunch of SFX, and some test playthroughs of the game for design/bugtesting/narrative reasons. Marina on the art side has finished a bunch of new area, NPC, and enemy art, as well as some final writing for the game. We're hoping the game has a unique approach to story and lore! You can enjoy the main storyline, or explore all the areas and imagine for yourself what the backstories to the world are.

Other than that, we hit 39,000 total wishlists! Honestly I couldn't ask for much more. I'm just hoping we can have a smooth rest of development for now as I go into some closed Beta testing.

Please look forward to Angeline Era later this year! We'll also be keeping the demo up through release - which will retain its multiple translations.

Anyways, if you'd like to support us till release, consider sharing a trailer with your friend groups.
