PATCH 0.7 - Art rework, new playable area and new screen log history

Hello everyone! Version 0.7 is now available and brings a lot of changes, improvements, additions, and bug fixes! With the Christmas takedown, we lost a lot of time and couldn't progress as much as we wanted on the game, but rest assured, 0.8 is close and will be memorable. Also, I personally want to apologize to our Kickstarter contributors who have been waiting for their keys since mid-December. This "legal" matter of Noreya/Noseka has had a significant negative impact on my morale, and financial difficulties for the studio have been added to that. It's challenging to be creative and original, and being attacked in this way when we have done no harm to anyone is mentally tough. It's unfair, but that's how it is, and we continue to move forward. With this patch, you should all have received your keys (up to February 12). No one will be left out, so feel free to contact us if you think you have been overlooked. Let's move on to the content of this 0.7

Graphical Redesign of the Valsanre Forest and the World Tree.

This was a task that was close to my heart for a long time, and it's now done. We have completely reworked the forest areas. A picture is worth a thousand words.

According to our tests, the performance impact is minor. But if you notice that the game is not running as well as before, please let us know. We continue to work on the overall optimization of the game. In the next patches, we will do the same work in the other areas of the game.

Update of Linux/Windows Versions and Demo Versions

For this new update, we have rebuilt all the builds for Windows and Linux. As we are not Linux users, we have not been very active in maintaining this version, and we apologize for that. This new version should (I hope) change your life! About the Mac build, we are still trying to find the source of the issue. The initial builds worked, but since a Mac update, we haven't been able to make it work.

New Logbook Screen

In the game, all the narration is told through Steles. Until now, it was impossible to know which ones were read or not. Only a "number of steles" indicator was present. From now on, it is possible to browse the entire history of the steles.

I also specify that they are all organized in the chronological order of writing. So, if you want to uncover all the mysteries of the game's universe and the history of the Gods, you will have to find them all! Some players who have greatly contributed to bug finding are now part of the story, and some steles are dedicated to them!

Completion of the Ruins of Lemia

A few areas were missing in this biome to consider it finished, and that's done. However, this area is not yet finished artistically and is reserved for experienced/end-game players. We won't talk about it more because it's an area that contains significant spoilers. But it's important to mention it so that players looking for new things know what we're talking about :)

What's Planned for Patch 0.8

The next patch will be colossal as it will be the advent of the 5th and final major boss, as well as the final boss: the God of Avarice.

Many revelations are expected, so be prepared. The battles that await you are beyond what you can imagine. We still have work to do before we can tag the game as 1.0, including the "true ending" that will be present between versions 0.9 and 1.0. However, from version 0.8, you can consider the game to be finishable.

Final Words

We do not yet have visibility to announce 1.0. However, we are confident in our progress and the work done. Also, the console port is progressing well. We have made good progress for the Switch version, but there is still a lot of work, and we cannot announce anything concrete on that front. A short preview of the rework we are doing in the Biome 2, it's a long work but I'm excited to finish it!

"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

Game features

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.
