PATCH 0.6 - Complete Cathedral, BOSS 4 and Walkthrough rework
Mid 2023 someone registered the name "Noreya" in Europe. It's not to make a game, not at all, but that person decided to attack us for copyright infrigement. We got a very little time to understand what was happening, in a buzy period when everyone is in vacation with their family. I tried to understand/solve the issue talking with Valve's team but the time for my lawyer to get in, the game was down. So, is the game name Noseka? Only on Steam for now. We are claiming our copyright and intellectual property rights and defending our creation against this illegitime trademark attack. But all this paperwork thing will take time and in the meantime, we will move to Noseka on Steam. Until when? I don't know, I cannot say, it is out of my scope and it is the first time someone is attacking "me" for a name that was not even in the "video game industry" or art. But it is what it is and right now, I want to focus on the game with the team rather than fighting. PS: also I do apologize for the Winter Sales, we are locked now and cannot start a new "sale" before 30 days. I asked the support if something can be done about that. So... Let's do what indies do well: exciting games!
We have been working on this modification for several weeks because we were not sufficiently satisfied with the early game (the first 2-3 hours), which tended to lose players to much. Indeed, Metroidvanias tend to give you powers regularly, in each biome. And usually, "exploring other areas" is punished or impossible. However, in Noseka, we wanted to create a beginning that is both linear and permissive. Many of you thought you were not following the good path, so we made this modification hoping it improves the experience for new players!
It is not the first time in this game development story. But this is not a definitive name. This fourth major boss got a large golden sword. Its gameplay will surprise you! Another opponent that is completely different from the others. Of course this is a first version, and we will make adjustments based on your initial impressions!
In this version, we have added some spells! We have been working on improving the skill tree for a while. In this patch, in addition to several fixes, we have added new skills that will please you, including "fast-travel," which allows you to teleport from one statue to another, finally!
There are still some "hidden" skills that will arrive in January/February.
It is a new off-map area that is now available! For now, it is very small, but in the future, we will add some content inside. Perhaps more in the future ;) You will find this ambiance/music in biome 6 "The Forgotten Fortress," which will be available in an upcoming patch!
The next patch "0.7" will feature more areas to explore and maybe one new boss if it is ready. Some exciting features and an overall improvement. We will post a dev blog very soon to talk more about the "behind the scenes" waiting for this new patch. This blog post was supposed to concludes 2023, but it will mark the beginning of 2024 instead! Thanks for all the supportive messages we received during this dark times. We will do our best to make 2024 an exciting year and we will push the game as much as we can.

First of all, Happy new Year to everyone! In the name of the team I have to apologize. The game has been taken down by Valve because someone complained for a trademark infrigement. Quick explanation, so you know what happened. Then, content of the update and what is coming next !
The game is back on Steam, what happened? Is the name Noseka now?

Boss 4 - The Guardian of the Golden Swords
It is not the first time in this game development story. But this is not a definitive name. This fourth major boss got a large golden sword. Its gameplay will surprise you!

New Skills!

Aleph's Tomb
It is a new off-map area that is now available! For now, it is very small, but in the future, we will add some content inside. Perhaps more in the future ;) You will find this ambiance/music in biome 6 "The Forgotten Fortress," which will be available in an upcoming patch!

"Noseka: The Gold Project" is a 2D pixel-art metroidvania game set in a dark fantasy universe.
The game offers players a choice between allegiance to the Gods of Light and Shadow or the gods of Corruption and Gold!
But be careful!
Decisions made in the game affect your progression by changing the available paths and abilities.
The game's key art creates a unique experience for gamers with no run being the same as others, this duality encourages players to explore both paths.

Auria, the God of Avarice, took power over the city of Lemia after imprisoning the Goddess of Light. Kali, a fighter who lost everything at the hands of the gods, sets out for the city to verify the rumors surrounding this new god who corrupts and subjugates humans in exchange for wealth.

Explore the City of Gold and its cathedral, confront the creatures of shadow and gold, pledge allegiance to the god of your choice to embody their power, or detach yourself from the gods and suffer their wrath. Again

Backstory: The world of Noreya
In time immemorial, seven deities joined forces to shape the land we know today as Noreya.
Such was the power of the Seven that Men, as a sign of respect but also out of fear, began to worship them. Some sinners, however, strayed from the path, bringing out the most maliciously treacherous parts of themselves. From this malice came new deities, gaining their powers from the servitude of their subjects.
In the lands of Lemia, home of the primordial Goddess of Light, an endless famine persisted. The poor inhabitants' desire for wealth benefited the God of Avarice, who in turn promised an end to their misery. The god everyone now calls the "God of Gold" transformed all his followers into shapeless, tormented creatures: the golden shadows. Lemia, once so luminous, now gives way to unhealthy greed.
Duality: Pledge allegiance and receive the power of the gods!
With a skill tree containing over 50 skills, you can evolve according to your allegiance to the Goddess of Light or the God of Gold.
You can also play double duty, but in this case you won't have access to the most powerful spells. It's up to you to find the best balance for your style of play.
A world for every god.
No more metroidvania with a single map to discover.
In the world of Noreya, the world changes according to your allegiance.
Are you familiar with the Golden World and have now decided to worship the Light? Get ready for a whole new experience, forge ahead as you discover which areas have changed and discover which parts of the game are no longer accessible! However, in turn get ready to explore other new adventures that now await the servant of the Light!
Each version of the world conceals secrets and exclusive bonuses. Can you find the artifacts hidden in the depths of the world? Only time will tell!

The soundtrack
Signed by the incredible duo Sarys / MisterMV, enjoy an original soundtrack that will accompany you throughout your adventure.
Switch allegiance, and the music will change and evolve with you.
A game for arachnophobes:
Initially, we had planned to include spiders in the game, but we realized that many players are arachnophobic.
WIth this in mind, we worked on coming up with an alternative that works and retains the feel of the underground environments.
But who knows, maybe one day the spiders of Noreya will be released. But that's a tale for another time.
