Version 1.4.06
Hi everyone, Small patch here. Increased the effectiveness of Astral Resistance talent stone to make it worthwhile. When fully leveled up it gives boost to all resistances +30, instead of +18. Corrected a long due typo. I accidentally wrote all words "lose" as "loose".

We also added Lore Mastery Skill which improves lore collecting abilities of the hero. Lore can be spent for purchasing maps of treasure islands and dungeons as well as skill points.
Right before entering full release, we featured equipment durability and upgrades. “Entropy” update came with a new skill called Arms Mastery that governs repairing and salvaging equipment. Another important addition was the blacksmiths in towns with at least 2 stars prosperity level. This update also changed how prosperity affects towns. Prosperous towns have more shops and facilities, which incentivizes the hero to be mindful about logistics.
In July, we release a major update that many players have long requested: “Base Building”. You can now build 1 to 3 bases around the island. They can be upgraded. Each level provides different facilities for the hero’s benefit, like storage, garden, armory, kitchen and alchemy lab. Facilities also level up with the base, providing more items and storage space.
In August, we featured Steam Achievements. Not a major update but one of the most cherished ones to date (probably should have done sooner!) We continued adding more achievements which currently amount to 55 in total (more to come)
We added new talent stones like “Call of the Wild” which enables the hero to turn into a wolf or “Time Stop” which stops time for the enemies for a few turns but causes time fragmentation fatigue to the user. Also added were new over world incidents like “Black Monolith” which the hero can collect lore from or “Ethereal Tree” which causes a rare major effect to the hero.
The last update of 2024 was the one we released last week: Seasons. There are now four seasons in Terra Randoma which affect gameplay in a deep and immersive way. The game now requires more strategic planning than ever before.
Development on Terra Randoma will continue in 2025, and we thank everyone who has been with us so far.

I wanted all seasons to have different textures for both overworld map and battlemaps. Battlemap for autumn is covered with yellow leaves. Deciding how winter will look was easy, I made everywhere covered with snow. Spring and summer were a bit tricky since they were kind of similar. So I decided that spring would be the same as the current version of the game and summer would be slightly yellowish green due to lack of rain and hot weather.
I made lots of changes how certain things work in every season. I made fishing easier in autumn and spring. Food is expensive in winter. There is also no foraging ingredients in winter. Hero won't catch the Wanderer's Flu during summer and spring. And so on and so forth.
I also needed to make some arrangements with overworld incidents. Not every incident was suitable for every season. For example hero will not find spider cocoons or mushroom fields in winter. Rabbits, deers and beehives are also non existant in winters and autumns.
I am planning to add another monster and play test some more before releasing. I believe It is near to completion. But I am sure there will be further small updates after the release to iron things out.
That’s all for now and thanks for reading. May the tides bring you triumph!
It will be harder to find herbs in winter. Surprise attack will be more effective in winter as enemies will be less likely to detect movement in snowy weather. Winter nights will be longer too.
As for the longevity of the seasons, I haven’t decided yet but I will try 20 days for each season and see if it is fun to play and make adjustments there to find the sweet spot.
A fun fact is, if a season lasts 20 days than one year will be 80 days and that means planet terra randoma is on a really small orbit.
That’s all for now and thanks for reading. May the tides bring you triumph!
