• Decreased the volume on destroying Withered Blobs, as it was much too loud

UI

• Replaced fill order icons for Farming Village, Mining Village, and Midhaven to make them more fancy
• Re-enabled Input remapping settings and fixed issue that caused remapping to not work properly in PS5. Also added more remap options.

VFX

BUG FIXES

• Added missing collision and improved the visuals on certain rocks.
• Fixed a bug where Storage would eat a player's deposit when full
• Fixed the freeze you get when you die whilst swimming without stamina by falling from climb mode.
• When Swimming, you no longer get instant death when you loose your stamina, now you get periodic damage.
• All storage boxes transfer annoyances with using QuickTransfer now correctly stacks your items rather than using a new slot.

CRASH FIXES

• Replaced the video at Main Menu with a static background image that should fix the AMD gpu crash.
• Fixed a crash when attempting to convert, if the crafting station is placed slightly outside the village radius
• Fix a crash with the Radial Wheel that could happen often in multiplayer.
• Fixed a crash related to loading saves on low end hardware.
• Fixed a crash that would occur when player exits to main menu.

Players can expect a fun, fantastical experience, with lots of content to explore right from the start of our early access journey. However, there is still a long way to go to the 1.0 version of the game. With your invaluable feedback, well be adding additional polish, updates, and features in the weeks and months ahead.

With that, were thrilled to announce that the game will launch to Steam Early Access on November 19th, 2024, priced at $29.99 USD. Alongside the release date announcement, we also have an enchanting new trailer that showcases the gameplay mechanics behind single-player adventuring, combat, ecosystem restoration, crafting / architectural design, and co-op hangouts in the flourishing fantasy land of Aghasba. https://youtu.be/-Cm-02rxXdY

About Towers of Aghasba

For those who want a reminder of what Towers of Aghasba is about, the game tells the story of the Shimu people, forced to flee their homeland when a mysterious force known as the Withered ravaged the land. As junior architect, its your job to rebuild the villages of your once-mighty civilization and nurture Aghasbas ecosystems back to life. Core gameplay lets you traverse the wide world of Aghasba scaling colossal mountains, gliding across jaw-dropping vistas, and befriending majestic creatures. Craft weapons, armors, and elixirs to aid in battle against monsters afflicting the land with rot, cultivate outlandish flora and fauna as you restore ecosystems, and uncover ancient knowledge hidden among ruins. Back at homebase, flex your creativity by growing a bustling civilization and customizing your island home with decorations. Once your villages and ecosystems are in place, invite up to three friends to explore your island, trade items, hunt creatures, and battle the Withered as a team.

Early Access Content

As an Early Access title, the scope of Towers of Aghasba is going to be much smaller than that of a 1.0 title. Not only that, all of the gameplay mechanics, items, characters, creatures, and story elements are subject to change throughout continued development. With the aid of your invaluable feedback, the game will grow and blossom just like the fictional world of Aghasba itself. That being said, the Early Access build does feature a robust breadth of content that we cant wait for you to enjoy. Featuring: 3 types of unique ecosystems to restore and grow 3 types of towns to construct 40+ creatures to unlock 120+ plants to grow and harvest 150+ decoration recipes Exploration across vast open-world lands Ruins and relics to discover, unlocking ancient knowledge Variety Activities (eg. fishing)

Conclusion

Thats all for now! This is just the beginning of the adventure well all be embarking on together. The game is available to wishlist now and we would love it if you told your friends and spread the good word about Towers of Aghasba. A healthy community for an Early Access title starts at the grassroots level, and the more people we can get involved, the better the game will become.
