After a year of development, Alvara has entered a new phase.
This update is not a small patch, but a deep rework of the game’s foundations.
It introduces a new playable introduction designed for better immersion, new interior and exterior locations, a redesigned combat system with new abilities, and expanded party mechanics that influence the narrative.
A new camp system also allows players to learn more about their companions and the world.
The update is now live for all Early Access players.

Dear Alvarians!
So many new things this October! You’ve been with us for a year now, and Alvara keeps growing day by day thanks to you. Today, we have a huge update! Here’s a non-exhaustive list of the new features (there are so many that we’re afraid of missing a few :) ):

Adjusted buttons in the equipment menu (character selection).
Improved cameras during discussions for better immersion.

Removed birds in the sky: the rendering wasn’t satisfactory.
Created a new marketing image to better represent the game as a whole.
Tutorial texts: More concise, but still being finalized.

Equipment menu change: Now on the first page of the inventory, making it easier to change equipment.
Added a few dead animals for a more realistic atmosphere.

A new member has joined the team. The team? Well, when you're alone, you can't really say that, but, well, with 2, we're a team! Let's welcome Petrus properly! His contributions have been more than essential to Alvara!
What's New?
To start, Petrus has reworked all the in-game visuals!
Visuals aren't the only addition from Petrus. Together, we've thought about making the game more interactive. Previously, Alvara was a rich world but strangely empty. So, we set out to populate it: objects, plants, rocks, etc. Thus, the universe is much more alive, and most importantly, most objects are now interactive. You can pick them up to forge items or make potions! The forging system, although it existed from the beginning, is being perfected. Additionally, alchemy is making its debut in Alvara.
Now, you'll have the opportunity to share much more with your team. In the camps, you can choose to sacrifice some of your rest time to chat with your companions. Whether it's for small concerns or real grievances, these discussions may even lead to new quests!
What else to say, except that the universe is now revealed more, thanks to an encyclopedia that fills up as you make discoveries and progress. Moreover, a calendar system has been introduced: now, Alvarian festivals and the world's history you discover are associated with key dates. But this new time dimension also creates pressure: some NPCs will ask you to complete missions within a specified timeframe.
The graphical aspect is being improved: menu harmonization, new graphic identity, etc. And most importantly, new maps are planned for the next update.
For now, these new features will soon be in the beta testing phase, which may take some time. But we are confident in announcing the upcoming launch of the game's continuation, which will resemble a true revival!
See you very soon!
