Hi folks, we hope things are going well for you during the festive period and beyond!
We have some bonuses for you during the festivities:
- You will have an extra 12% XP in each run through the rogue-lite (until the end of February)
- There's another gift for you + Fireworks on the left side of the Hub.
With some decorations drawing inspiration from Chinese New Year culture.
- Aura of Worlds is now 10% off for Steam's Lunar New year sale (in addition to the original heavy early access discount).
Level generation improvements:
- More scenic objects:
- Revised one of the recurring templates for procedural generation to add more variety
- Some refinements to 7 hand made templates for the garden/temple area.
- Added biome-specific jump through platforms and supports to the generator for the temple, gardens, and ice world.
A.I. improvements include:
- Humanoids navigate the terrain better on windy levels.
- Held enemy drones will fire indiscriminately at anything in front of them when held by the player (useful for an improvised weapon)
- The Ice mage now telegraphs which projectile it's going to use. Both of which have updated graphics:
Miscellaneous:
- Significant optimization of the particle system to allow for better accessibility to lower-end computers
- Fixed a rare memory leak regarding accelerator platforms in the ice world.
- Fixed an uncommon bug; where early game achievements would not unlock for new players. Sorry about that; they should unlock the next time you launch the game (while online with Steam overlay).
- More sound effects.
- Multiple balance changes
- Much more...
A note regarding price
Even without the Steam sales factor, we've heavily discounted the game discounted during early access.
The game has been extended and polished with community feedback to become quite a different experience since mid-2018. You can see the list of update sets on the news page:

As such, the game may increase in price later this year to help us to continue to add extra content to the game for you as we approach full release.
