Patch 1.3.2
Ive added a new Knockback skill to the neutral skill tree, which is relatively quick to unlock. If you obtain both Knockback skills, the effects will be combined. I hope this little addition will please the players who requested it as a "default," since it can be unlocked very quickly (after Crawler, its quite achievable). Its not my intention to have a character with "a lot of default stuff," and I want to keep a game that can be completed without needing a huge arsenal. In my opinion, thats one of Noreyas great strengths.
Once again, Ive made changes to the first zone to satisfy/reduce the frustration of new players after watching many live streams and reading articles. It turns out that in the very first areas, there are the backers tombstones, which apparently tended to confuse players who didnt participate in the campaign. As a result, Ive removed all the tombstones from this area and placed them in a dedicated map that contains all the tombstones in one place. This map can still be easily found early in the game! The second change to the first zone is that the underground section of the forest used to be one-way, which frustrated many people who couldnt collect the heart tier on their first attempt. Ive added platforms that allow movement in both directions, which should reduce the number of players getting lost at the beginning of the game.
Similarly, I noticed that many players complained about not being able to heal during a boss fight, which is quite common in metroidvanias. In Noreya, there are moments to heal, but they are specific and only allow for one heal. Therefore, Ive decided to adjust the healing time based on the difficulty level, reducing the first heal by 0.5 seconds in normal mode!
I also took advantage of this update to add some gold nuggets in a few areas that were a bit too empty. Ive also increased the amount of gold given by certain rare monsters. And thats it for the key changes, heres the full patch log!

Greetings, Today Ive uploaded patch 1.3.2, which brings a few changes and fixes. Know that the console port is progressing; Ive written an article that I need to finalize before publishing. I hope to be able to show you the game running on the Switch soon!
Addition of a second "Knockback" skill
Ive added a new Knockback skill to the neutral skill tree, which is relatively quick to unlock. If you obtain both Knockback skills, the effects will be combined. I hope this little addition will please the players who requested it as a "default," since it can be unlocked very quickly (after Crawler, its quite achievable). Its not my intention to have a character with "a lot of default stuff," and I want to keep a game that can be completed without needing a huge arsenal. In my opinion, thats one of Noreyas great strengths.
Changes to the first zone / start of the game
Once again, Ive made changes to the first zone to satisfy/reduce the frustration of new players after watching many live streams and reading articles. It turns out that in the very first areas, there are the backers tombstones, which apparently tended to confuse players who didnt participate in the campaign. As a result, Ive removed all the tombstones from this area and placed them in a dedicated map that contains all the tombstones in one place. This map can still be easily found early in the game! The second change to the first zone is that the underground section of the forest used to be one-way, which frustrated many people who couldnt collect the heart tier on their first attempt. Ive added platforms that allow movement in both directions, which should reduce the number of players getting lost at the beginning of the game.
Adjustment to healing time based on difficulty
Similarly, I noticed that many players complained about not being able to heal during a boss fight, which is quite common in metroidvanias. In Noreya, there are moments to heal, but they are specific and only allow for one heal. Therefore, Ive decided to adjust the healing time based on the difficulty level, reducing the first heal by 0.5 seconds in normal mode!
Addition of various gold loot / rewards
I also took advantage of this update to add some gold nuggets in a few areas that were a bit too empty. Ive also increased the amount of gold given by certain rare monsters. And thats it for the key changes, heres the full patch log!
Patch Log:
Add/Improvements:
- change first area to remove tombs and allow both way in the underground forest

"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.
