As we continue working on improving the game, we’ve got enough new features (as well as bugfixes) to bring you this update. We hope that you like it!
- Panic Volley. A new ability for the fleeing mobs such as Shroomy and Watermello. If panicked, they start shooting projectile attacks in all directions. If such attacks hit the player, they deal a bit of damage + a debuff (such as Slow). If such an attack hits their summoned allies, it grants them a Shield effect;
- Bow Stab. Now archers will be able to deal with enemies that come too close! Punching with your bow deals a bit of damage, and pushes the enemy away, allowing you to maintain a safe distance. For now, this ability has replaced the arrow shot, as we are implementing new arrow choosing mechanics into the game for the next update, which will be released with the fixed bow shooting mechanics;
- New attack ability for Little Boarmelons;
- Added the animation for the Shroomy’s ally summoning ability;
- Updated the female model’s damage receiving animation;
- Updated the critical damage debuff animation.
- Fixed the bug that caused items to disappear from chests when you re-enter instances;
- Fixed the crash related to the double jump;
- Fixed the animation cutaway issues when viewed from the spectator’s side.
Greetings from the Elteria Adventures team!
It’s been an important year for Elteria Adventures so far. The game had switched from semi-realistic to cubic environments with more emphasis on Sandbox gameplay in May, and we’ve collected your feedback through the entire June. After that, we started implementing it into the game in a massive overhaul in order to make Elteria Adventures even better than before, the first results of which you are currently able to see on our alpha servers.
Of course, this is only the beginning — after implementing a completely new worlds system, we are currently working on the main gameplay features that are going to take place in these worlds, which will likely take us the rest of 2021. This work can be separated into four big parts:
We are currently working on both improving the visuals of Elteria, and making it more immersive. And in order to do that we are:
The fun of exploring the world of Elteria is in a lot of things — new resources, new items, new enemies, new vistas etc. And we thought that it might be a good idea to give one more incentive to venture towards the unknown, which is why we are working on implementing an Adventurer’s Journal.
Rather than handholding the player, this Journal tells you what might be a good idea to look for and investigate, as well as grants you rewards for completing its entries without forcing you to do anything — like a set of general guidelines (with rewards!).
This feature will take the place of the current Achievement system.
Having a set of private islands is great. Having a set of private islands that develop as you explore the world is even better.
Our current goal is to truly make your personal archipelago into your own private base that you’ll be improving by supplying it with resources and materials you find during your trips to more dangerous parts of Elteria.
The co-op gameplay in Elteria has been pretty chaotic so far. Sure, you can form a party and go kill some mobs together, but there are no particular tasks, rules or opportunities for the involved parties besides that.
Which is why we are working on implementing better social mechanics, including improved party system, trading and even market.
We are also working both on improving several old mechanics, and implementing new stuff:
Finally, there’s one more thing we’re trying to make our minds about, so we’d like to ask for your opinion:
Do you think that the players’ characters look a tad out-of-place and not-as-charismatic in Elteria now that it’s all cubicky? Because we could give them a makeover so that they look even better. No, we’re not talking about making them all blocky, just a tad more cartoony and bright. Or should they be kept as they currently are (just with more customization options, of course)?
Either way, we hope that you’re as excited for these upcoming changes as we are!
And see you on the islands of Elteria!
Greetings from the Elteria Adventures team!
The 18.0.1 Megapatch is finally here! So, without further ado, let’s check what it has for you in store!
GAMEPLAY AND THE WORLD:
VISUALS AND USER INTERFACE:
Ah, but you don’t HAVE to be alone here. You can invite your friends over to build and terramorph together! Or you can visit their own private archipelagos, or form a party and go to the Main World to challenge its harsher biomes for blocks and materials, that’s also an option!
So, how do you invite someone over?
Inviting someone over:
Open your Friend List (press V)
Type the name of your friend, send the friendship request.
Once your request is accepted, you can invite them to your private archipelago and allow them to build there (or not)
Accepting the invitation:
Open your Friendlist (press V), accept the friendship request.
Accept the invitation.
Want to have an entire party on your island? You can look for more people (and also follow the game news and events) 
And see you on the islands of Elteria!
And be sure to 
Greetings from the Elteria Adventures team!
As we work on the upcoming Open Playtest for the new, improved and cubic world of Elteria Adventures, we thought that it might be a good idea to tell you more about what we’re working on. And today, we’ll talk more in-depth about the changes to the world of Elteria itself.
Improved architecture
With the entire world becoming more blocky, we were able to drastically improve its looks in terms of performance and variety. The simplified shapes allowed us to finally fix the bugs that allowed the camera to look beneath the world’s surface through the unpredictably placed seams in the textures AND to introduce more distinct and varied shapes of natural architecture. The improved and downscaled cubes also mean that you can mimic natural environments with your own tools, and have even more control over what you can build!
Slow Main World regeneration
Have you ever tried to wipe a small island from the face of Elteria, only to see it slowly begin to regenerate just 10 minutes in? We know we did, and we didn’t like it one bit. Which is why we’ve decided to introduce slower regeneration time to the Main World of Elteria. We’re currently thinking about making that time about two weeks, though we’ll have to see if said time needs any adjustments.
Private worlds.
Having a private island is awesome, though it might be a space too limited for all your building and heroic endeavors. Which is why we’re upgrading your private islands to entire private, instance-based archipelagos. Unlike the Main World, your private world will not regenerate at all, allowing for permanent terramorphing! Though that also means that the resources available to you in your Private World are limited, and you’ll have to venture to the Main World for more.
And of course, you won’t be alone on this private archipelago either! You’ll have the company of monsters, as well as any friends you invite over to help you build, gather resources, or just party!
Large, interconnected world
Previously, the biomes of Elteria were too distanced from each other, forcing you to take portals to travel between them. Now, you’ll just need a portal to your private world, and will be able to get anywhere else on foot, clouds or via bridges. Preferably during the day, when you’ll only encounter peaceful mobs. Though if you trust the heart of your gear enough, you can also bravely face the dangers of the Elterian night.
Of course, these are just some of the many changes, improvements and new features of the upcoming Open Playtest. Meanwhile, we’d love to hear from you, be it your questions about these changes to the world of Elteria, requests for new information, or something else entirely
And see you soon!
Greetings from the Elteria Adventures team!
The world of Elteria will go cubical even sooner than expected. After seeing the sheer amount of interest in the closed playtest, we have decided that it might be better to go for a key-free open playtest instead. As such, this implies a few things:
Greetings from the Elteria Adventures team!
It’s been quite a while since the last piece of news from our project, hasn’t it? Well, today we’ve got something very exciting to show you as the result of months of research, development and playtesting (HUGE thanks to our alpha testers, by the way!), that we hope, will help us to create a much more focused, fun and creative experience for you to enjoy. Introducing the brand new game world!
Cubes! This part can be recognized instantly. The world, previously consisting of rounded cubic voxels, has now become almost entirely cubified. We know, we loved the smooth realistic terrains too! But not only did the playtests show us that these new cubic surroundings looked way more in line with your own beautiful architectural creations, they also made the environments much more easily readable and even prettier to look at. Just look at these screenshots!
Optimized Building. Smaller cubic voxels also allow us to introduce a number of new possible buildings and add more variation in natural geometries such as caves and mountains. The upgraded building mechanics are also more comfortable to use, making it so much easier to create the home base of your dreams or even an entire fortified sky island that would look completely at place among its surroundings!
Accessible Terramorphing. We’ve made it easier to both gather resources, as well as destroy and rebuild your environments. Don’t care for gathering extra rock and dirt? Put aside your Glove and just crush these blocks into nothing with your trusty weapons! All said destruction of your surroundings will linger for far, far longer, making it possible to even use terramorphing for base building! Incorporate your base into a mountain! Make a basement! Erase an island you don’t like and make it STAY that way!
Sandboxy goodness. More narrative freedom to go with your mechanical freedom! Go wherever you want and do whatever you want from the start. No more essential progression hidden behind quests! In fact, we are currently reworking the quests to be far more open and fun, and far less resembling running through your grocery list.
Explore and survive in the world of Elteria along with your friends! And of course, you can still gather your team and restore the world of Elteria together with!
We want to thank all our alpha testers for their feedback and for their help in making our dream game come true
If you’d like to be among the first playtesters of the closed new version, just comment here and we’ll send you an invite!
Happy New Year, festive adventurers!
You know, Elteria Adventures went through a lot of changes in 2020. Ranging from purely cosmetic to mechanical, up to and including the game’s story, these changes were all made in order to make the game as fun and enjoyable as possible. And of course, the Elteria Adventures team plans to continue this tendency in 2021, in order to bring you even better experiences on the floating islands of Elteria.
In fact, we’re already working on something huge in order to bring Elteria Adventures even closer to our vision, and hope to bring you the first look into it very, very soon.
We’re extremely thankful to all of you for helping us turn our dreams into reality, and hope that you will continue to support us in the following year and onwards!
Once again, Happy New Year to you, and be sure to have fun and happy Holidays!
Happy impeding festivities, jolly adventurers!
Do you want to build a festive tree? It kinda has to be a festive tree. Join us on December 24th at 7 AM PT time/3 PM GMT time on the European Alpha server for an End of the Year party! It will include:
Greetings, aspiring adventures!
Today’s major patch finally brings the new Story into Elteria Adventures, with a brand new Chapter 1, as well as some other rebalances, improvements and new goodies for a good measure.
FEATURES:
Greetings, fellow travelers!
The season of reaping is nearing its end. And so, in order to send it off, and start preparing for the end of the year festivities, we’re offering you this patch:
NEW FEATURES:
While maxing out your gear in Elteria Adventures is not necessary, it might give you a much needed edge in a fight, or push your damage just enough to one-shot a mob you’re currently farming. There are currently four mechanics that allow you to do just that.
1. ITEM RARITY (Workbench/Advanced Workbench).
Whenever you craft a piece of equipment, you have a small chance of crafting one of an increased Item Rarity. Signified by a corresponding adjective and a colored border around its icon, such an item boasts higher stats than a regular version.
Of course, the process of deliberately crafting a rare item might leave you with a lot of spares. These might be Dismantled on a Soul Altar to gain some extra Essentia, though you might also want to keep some spares due to the next step.
2. AWAKENED, TRUE AND ASCENDED (Workbench/Advanced Workbench).
Crafting a piece of equipment is just the beginning. Once you have crafted a weapon, an armor or an accessory, you can also use it to craft an upgraded version with significantly boosted stats, with Awakened and True versions available to most gear, and exceptionally powerful Ascended versions for some cases. Crafting any of these upgraded versions will require you some extra legwork though, with increasingly more valuable and difficult to obtain resources from later chapters or Wild Area.
Do note that using a piece of gear in crafting basıcally scraps ıt to gıve you a new one (rolling for Item Rarity again), which is why you might need those extra crafted pieces of regular Item Rarity.
3. REFORGING (Anvil).
Once you have finally got that incredibly lucky Wild True Carrot Sword, it’s due time to fine-tune it to suit your personal playstyle. For the first part you can use an Anvil to Reforge it, giving you a set of random bonuses
This process can be repeated for as long as you have the necessary materials.
4. SOUL FUSION (Soul Fusion Altar).
Farming for Souls doesn’t just allow you to use their signature abilities, you can also use these Souls to fortify your gear even further. The Soul Fusion Altar allows you to put up to three different souls into an item, boosting a specific stat for each.
Of course, the Souls of stronger mobs give you even higher bonuses
All of these effects are stackable and applicable to all item slots (Weapon, Armor, Necklace, two Rings, two Earrings, Hat, Boots), so there is a lot of room to make your adventuring easier even if you decide not to bother with some of them.
And regardless of whenever you’re maxing out your gear all the way, use some of these mechanics or decide to use unmodified gear, be sure to join 
Open Access is over, but you can still get the full access to Elteria Adventures in three simple steps:
