Hello, Adventurers!

It’s been a busy time for us since StormEdge launched, and we’ve been hard at work making the game even better! Your feedback has been incredibly valuable, inspiring us to create a major update that brings fresh depth to the gameplay and amps up your experience. Introducing… the Gem System Update! 💎

Here’s a peek at what’s new:

The Gem System

💎 30+ Gem Relics Added!

Each Gem Relic contains one or more powerful gems in it — find matching relics on each level to unlock their full potential!

Collect enough gems of the same type, and you’ll unleash thrilling new abilities!

🌟 9 Unique Gem Designs

Every gem has its own special power. Experiment with different combinations across characters and schools to discover your ultimate combat style!

Every gem has more than 4 exclusive Gem Relics waiting to be discovered!

🔓 Unlock More Gems as You Progress in the Story

Already completed Act 4? Good news—all gems will be unlocked instantly with this update!

🧙‍♂️ Meet the Gem Prophet in Act 5

As you journey through Act 5, the Gem Prophet will help you influence the chance of finding specific gems. Happy collecting!

But that’s not all! We’ve made tons of other improvements to keep things running smoothly and balance the gameplay.

Gameplay Adjustments

Conjuration no longer requires combo points!
With the new gem system in place, we’ve slightly increased the health of level bosses to balance the powerful boosts from relic sets.
Shops will no longer offer items you can’t afford - less clutter, more treasures!
We’ve balanced character abilities for better synergy.
Enemies will no longer deal critical damage.

Improvements

Major performance improvements to monster spawning, reducing potential lag.
Now you can check out keyword info using a gamepad!

Bug Fixes

Fixed positioning issues for reviving in Act 1 (Co-op mode).
Final animation music now plays as it should for that epic ending!
Fixed a bug where some spells could not hit puzzle stakes correctly.
Various fixes for Assist Mode, German keywords, and Japanese term consistency.

We’re committed to making StormEdge the best it can be, and we’re confident you’ll feel the improvements as you dive in. We can’t wait to see how you’ll experiment with all these new features. Keep the feedback coming—it’s helping us shape StormEdge into the game we’ve always dreamed of!

Happy adventuring, and enjoy the Gem System Update!

Patch Note 1.0.6 & the new Gem system preview

Hello, Adventurers!

Since the launch of StormEdge, we’ve been overwhelmed with your invaluable feedback, and we’ve wasted no time in improving our beloved game. We’re so grateful for your help in shaping the game, and thanks to you, we’ve already rolled out some improvements! Your input is making StormEdge shine brighter, and we can’t wait for you to see all the changes 🌟

Here’s a quick look at the latest updates:

New Features

- You can now bind buttons to the D-pad on your gamepad.
- A new button for quickly returning to the main menu has been added.
- We’ve introduced three new settings:

Camera distance adjustment
Camera follow behavior
Target lock style for gamepad users

- And good news: save data from the demo can now carry over to the full version!

Gameplay Adjustments

- The Fire Wisp Meteor will now disappear as soon as combat ends, keeping the battlefield clear.

Bug Fixes

- Fixed an issue where one teleport point in the Golden Valley was sending players into a wall (ouch!).
- Using Bear’s Secret Art to move will no longer accidentally trigger combat, so no more getting locked out of gates after using the skill!
- Chenoa’s basic attack now applies the correct number of Frigid stacks.
- The damage penalty from the School of the Owl now resets correctly.
- In co-op mode, default spell specializations will now properly apply to the second player.
- The description for the School of the Bear has been corrected to say it "converts purple shields into red shields" (just a text fix).
- The description of Lily’s finishing move has also been updated to reflect that it applies Frigid (description change only).

Upcoming major update - Gem System Preview 💎 (coming in 1.1.0)

We’ve heard your thoughts on the current relic system and agree that it’s not delivering the excitement we want in combat styles. So, in the upcoming version 1.1.0, we’re introducing a brand-new Gem System!

Here’s what you can expect:
- Over 30 new relics, each containing gems.
- By collecting these gems, you’ll unlock special effects when you gather enough of them.

But that’s not all—these gem effects won’t just be about buffs; some will even grant new abilities! We’re eager to see how this shakes up gameplay and opens up new combat possibilities!

We’re incredibly excited about these updates and can’t wait to see how you’ll experiment with all the new features and systems. Keep the feedback coming—it’s helping us make StormEdge the game we’ve always dreamed it could be!

Hello Adventurers!

Just wanted to let you know that StormEdge keeps evolving and we’ve been hard at work to bring you the best gaming experience possible! That’s why we’re excited to share a sneak peek of what’s coming to the Early Access version of our game. Here's a glimpse of the awesome new features you can look forward to:

New Hero: Chenoa

Meet Chenoa, the newest hero to join the StormEdge roster! Unlocked by default, Chenoa is a game-changer as she’s the first hero who can move while attacking. She brings moderate damage and a large area of effect, making her a powerful addition to any team. Chenoa will join Ulrich right from the beginning, and yes, you can dive into co-op mode with friends from the start!

Storm Events System

When you unlock Calamity Mode in Act 5, the Storm system also becomes available. You'll encounter eight different storm events inflicted by Zackerow during your explorations:

Lightning Storm
Meteor of Fire Wisp
Ice Tornado
Freezing Spirit
Fatigue Thirst Seed
Poisonous Rain
Bone-Chilling Mist (exclusive to the Iced Peak biome)
Heatwave (exclusive to the Forest biome)

As a member of StormEdge, take on the challenge to quell these elemental storms and bring peace to the dungeons!

School Traits Remade

We’ve remade the School Traits system. Now, there are six schools to follow, each offering unique benefits and significantly impacting your combat style. Choose a school at the beginning of each biome and in the endgame, explore through three biomes to follow three different schools.

Enemies Behaviors Improvement

Combat clutter no more! We've developed a new system where enemies execute attacks one by one. Now, only one melee attack and two ranged attacks can be executed at a time, significantly improving your combat experience.

Before the change

After the change

Minor Improvements

Two heroes are now unlocked by default, enabling co-op mode from the beginning.
Added environmental sounds for each biome to enhance immersion.
Tooltips for special terms are now available to help new players get acquainted with the game mechanics.
Adjustments have been made to the storyline for a smoother and more engaging experience.

Thank you for your continued support and feedback! We can’t wait for you to dive into these new features and experience all that StormEdge has to offer.

Stay tuned for more updates!

Hello friends!

Thank you so much for your interest in the StormEdge. It means the world to us. Today, in our first devlog, we want to give you some information about what is happening with the StormEdge right now.

Here's a quick rundown:

Visual Improvements

One of the things that we wanted to improve was the game's visuals. Using the color contract, and saturation contract, we can make enemies more legible and easier to identify. Check out the work-in-progress visuals below:

Gameplay Changes

We've read all your comments about the overall gameplay elements.

Firstly, we will be completely overhauling the shield system to make your experience more enjoyable and exciting.

Secondly, we will be unlocking special attacks earlier and completely updating them. For example, Ulrich's special attack now summons a flaming phantasm that draws the enemy's attention, and his next finisher will explode the flaming phantasm and shatter shields.

We will also be redesigning 6 schools and each of them will give the player a new school skill. Players can combine different schools and see how they interact with other schools, but they can only equip one School Skill at a time.

School of the Storm allows the player to summon a Storm Riposte. Casting Riposte becomes an active behavior if the player chooses it and equips its School Skill.

Co-op Changes & New Character

We received a lot of feedback about the lack of co-op at the beginning of the story. So we decided to introduce it at the beginning of the game with a new character. So players can enjoy co-op from the very beginning of the game.

Upcoming Playtest

We've decided to include all of the above updates in the upcoming closed playtest, which will begin at the end of the month. We will keep you updated on all the dates you can join the test. Follow the StormEdge on Steam to stay updated!

PAX East 2024

But that's not all, folks! StormEdge will be attending the PAX East 2024 showcase, which starts on the 21st of March. We will also be showing a new trailer featuring updated gameplay elements, some upgrades, and co-op.

That's all for now!
Thank you for your time, friends.

See you in the StormEdge!
