We're bringing you another sneak peek into the new game intro.
The fire titan oversees his lands from the heights of its dark skies, seeing mountains and lava well into the horizon, and is satisfied with his kingdom... or is he?
Deep down, underneath his fiery pride, lie the beginnings of doubt and dissatisfaction which will compel him to seek others like him, other titans with their own lands, in order to... do what?

Have a good weekend, another preview coming next week!

Just a quick post with a sneak preview into another level we're currently building.
As you can see in some places the level is still work in progress and will therefore undergo further changes before it gets added to the game.
We're working on more content for the next update which we will be teasing you with in the coming weeks throughout development.
Nothing else for now. If you have any questions or bugs you want to make us aware of, or you just want to say hi, feel free to post on the forums and we'll get back to you soon!
We hope you are all enjoying your holidays and got to spend time with your loved ones.
Enjoy the end of the year, see you in next one!!

We're still working on the next update to the game, which we hoped would be ready by Christmas. It'll take a bit longer, but in the meanwhile we thought we'd leave you a couple of teasers to let you know what's in the works!
As you can see we're working on new levels and new combat mechanics. We believe this next update will be the second to last to finish the prologue.
From now on we'll be keeping you all more up to date with periodic posts and the occasional teaser until the update is ready. Look forward to it!
On behalf of Graa Games Studio we thank you all for your support and wish you all a merry
Christmas and the happiest of holidays!!
Cheers all!

Hello everyone!
We're excited to announce a new update and the reboot of the entire game! Every aspect of the game, from the storyline to the mechanics, have undergone revision and a lot of features and content have been modified or completely replaced!
We've restarted the storyline from the beginning, incorporating dynamic gameplay and initial ability progression from the very start. The adventures section of the game, which included side content and levels to be enjoyed separately from the story, will now be merged into the storyline to create a single, coherent, more immersive story with a better flow and more thought out progression. The main menu has also been completely remade, showing all the characters you will, in time, be able to play with as the story progresses.
This update restarts the project and, as such, contains only the first half of the new prologue, which starts in an entirely different area than before. Those of you who've played the adventures levels before will recognise a noticeably improved version of some of them.
To all returning players, this means that much of the content which you have encountered during the story's progression in the previous version of the game, such as the forest and Potato Village, will only be available again in future updates after we're done remaking them.
We believe that the change to the story's beginning will bring a breath of fresh air to the game and make it more interesting overall, as well as giving us the chance to change and improve what was already in it.
The next update will bring further content for the prologue, including more explorable areas, a first look into real-time combat, first few NPC interactions, story line progression and more!
Let us know what you think on the forum! We have a dedicated bugs thread where we encourage you to tell us about any problems you may encouter with the game. Any and all feedback is welcome as we seek to improve the game as we keep building it.
We're looking forward to hearing from all of you. We've poured our souls into this game and, particularly, this update which, we hope, represents a new start and leads us to make a much better game than it could have been before.
More content coming in the next update, stay tuned!

Hello all,
A number of you have been asking us about the update that was going to go live around mid summer, so we thought we'd take some time to update you all properly.
Unfortunately, the update kept getting delayed due to technical difficulties. We're currently a team of 2, so anything even remotely ambitious takes us a lot of time to do and test properly.
Not only that, but we've also been giving the player mechanics a boost. One of the most common feedback points we kept getting was that the player felt heavy and unwieldly when jumping. To this extent, we've decided to make the player movement much more dynamic.
This has forced us to redesign the entire game since, with this new update to the player mechanics, all platform positions and anything remotely connected to jumping is horribly out of date and just plain wrong.
We're basically rebuilding the entire game from the ground up, which is why we've been silent for so long. The good news is, everything is getting an overhaul, including the story mode. The bad news is, it takes time.
We won't be giving any fixed dates anymore until the update is fully ready. We have made the mistake in the past of having promised updates and being unable to deliver on time. For that, we apologise profusely.
This next update (whenever it gets published) will contain only the updated Tree of Magic set of levels, with the improved player movement mechanics, amongst other things. The rest of the game will be locked while we rebuild the game, and will be released again progressively in later updates.
Once again, we thank you all for your patience. Please wait just a little longer, we hope it will be worth it.
Thank you all and have a great rest of the week.

Hi everyone!
After some toiling we've finished updating the intro to use the current engine. It is back in the game with a couple of improvements along the way!
We've also added some motion to one type of tree found in the gameplay level, to simulate branches moving in the wind. For those of you starting a new game, you'll notice them right away! Those of you who continue from a previous save will find them as you continue to move throughout the level.
Have a wonderful weekend, enjoy!

Hello everyone!!
It took a while, but we've finally reactivated the prologue playable level. We've thrown in some improvements too, like switching between 2D platform gameplay and full 2.5D exploration much more seamlessly, a new, explorable area right at the end of the level, and the first enemies and use of combat mechanics against them.
Over the next few days and weeks we'll be making many other improvements, adding more explorable areas, new mechanics, and more game- and characters- story progressions!
Currently the game Intro and Potato Village have been left out of the game due to time restrictions. We'll be working to add them back on again alongside the other improvements to be made in the coming weeks.
That's all for now. We hope you'll enjoy the improved level, along with the rest of the game!
Have fun!

Hello everyone!
We have some exciting news today. We've added a new series of levels, collectively called Tree of Magic, independent of the main story line and accessable straight from the main menu.
These levels will allow you to jump straight into the platform / action side of the game. We have also added the first mini boss of the game at the end for you to try the updated combat mechanics.
For now there are only 5 playable, short levels. We're planning to add more in the coming weeks, making them increasingly challenging, but also more rewarding.
On another note, we'll now be returning to the main story, reinstating the prologue and improving on it in the next couple of weeks.
We're very excited to come back to the original game in order to improve and push past its current state.
More updates coming soon! Stay tuned!!

Hello everyone!
We've got a small update today, focused on the main menu.
We've added a new option called Adventures which will gather all optional levels, old and new, in one place. Currently Easter Run is the only playable level, but the Mushrooms Level will also be added there once it's functional again, along with future secondary content.
That is all, have a great week and have fun!

Hello everyone!
We have a small update for you today. We've improved the Easter Run level we added last week, making it longer and more fun! It's not yet fully finished, but it's reached a much further point of completion.
We've also added a new abilitity: the magic-powered sprint. Using MP you'll be able to run faster and jump much further! Currently it's only available on this level, but it might be usable in the main game at some point in the future...
That's all for now. With this level almost done we'll be turning our attention back to the main game. Expect more content to be playable again soon!
Have a great Sunday, enjoy the new level and see you soon!

Hello everyone!! We're back!!!
We're back after taking some time off to figure things out.
We have a new level for you, currently in early beta, which we've called Easter Run!
Compete against Speed the rabbit in an obstacle filled track, using your new ability to overcome him and win the race!
As stated this level is still being developed and will continue to be updated over the following week.
We've been working on a number of improvements to the engine while we've been away, as such Easter Run is currently the only playable level. We've disabled all other content, including story mode. All of this will be restored over the course of the next few weeks as we finish working on technicalities and debugging.
We're going to start updating regularly once again as we hit milestones and improve the game.
Enjoy the new level, improvements to come over the next few days!
Happy Easter to everyone, see you soon!

Hello everyone,
We'd like to announce that the project updates will be put on hiatus for a few weeks.
We're currently looking to expand our team and invest in new technologies to take the project to the next level. As a result of these changes we will need some time to fully learn new things and integrate them and the new team member into the project, as well as establishing a new work flow, before continuing with regular updates.
Progress will therefore stop for some time while we go through these changes and reestablish solid ground beneath us. This does NOT imply in any way, shape or form that the project will stay that way indefinitely, we are just taking time off to gather our bearings and make a number of improvements before jumping back into the fray.
We hope to be back within a few weeks with more and improved content for you all!
Until then, have fun playing and thank you for your patience and for your continued support.
The TAOCP Team.

Hello everyone!
We have mixed news today, which we hope will prove worthwhile in the the coming months despite the initial setback.
We have to unfortunately delay the update due tomorrow, again, given the lack of necessary progress. This has been happening more nad more frequently as of late, which makes it apparent that the game is growing past what we, as a 2 person team, can handle.
This leads me to the next point: we'll be hiring another programmer in order to spead things up and start delivering more content and actually keeping up with promised updates.
We apologise to everyone for the frequent delays. We hope that with the extra pair of hands we'll be able to finally scale things up and take the game to higher peaks.
As such, the update, along with more stuff in the works, has been moved to the 23rd of December. We won't reveal what else we're working on just yet, but we hope to make it this time.
That's all for now. Have fun everyone and see you in a few weeks!

Hello everyone!
We have some new content and bug fixes for you. We are currently still working on the platform level that was meant to accompany the update, it will be included in the next one. Meanwhile, here's the list of new stuff:
PROLOGUE GAMEPLAY LEVEL
We've been working on the TNT box explosions:

BUGS CORRECTED
That is all for now. We're switching to monthly updates from now on, the next update will therefore be on the 29th November!!
Have a great Halloween, until next time!

Hello everyone!
We're adding some more stuff today. Nothing major this time, just an expansion of Potato Village mechanics and content and a couple of other small things:
The mechanics revamp took a while as we had to modify and update core parts of the engine, particularly player physics. This last component is currently somewhat buggy , we tried to get rid of as many bugs as we could but you might find Julius going through solid objects occasionally as a result.
We'll work to get rid of new and old bugs and improve both Potato Village and the first gameplay level by the next update, which will be Friday the 31st of October.
Next update will include a Halloween special, we're getting ready to add another small level and improve what's already there. Look forward to it!
