RCAST '25

So, everything's been kinda sorta functional now. Still some minor issues and oversights, but nothing particularly game-breaking lingering about. However, there's a few plans for the future and a critical colour conundrum you ought to know about

Migrating to 64-bit

From R55 onwards, this game'll only be targeting x64 on all fronts. Still ain't clear how functional the 32-bit version was on Linux, but for the longest time the game just didn't launch without debug on Windows which may or may not have leaked in to a few older revisions. If nothing else, it'd be good to not have that (DEBUG) text in the window title at all times.

The Updates

So, there's two big updates in the works set for releasing sometime around late August and December, the latter of the two hopefully kicking off the transition from Early Access to Full Release. There's still at least one more Minor Update to sift through first before Summer kicks off, if only to clear up some plain unfinished things like unique area backgrounds, species-specific speech lines and more actually usable/non-passive items. There's not too many big things set in stone for now, but here's some features to look forward to

Better Battling: As is, both regular and quick/connection battles are totally automatic without any input from the player, or any effects in the former sort of battles beyond damage modifiers and recoil. One thing that's sure to be in the next major update is proper commanding, status effects and and other, mainly Duty-related events during regular battles.
Extra Battle Facilities: Beyond the pre-set Tourneys and waves of Night Raids, there's also a proper tournament mode in Arenas with a range of regular and special NPCs alike, and a great gauntlet in the Tower, using your entire party to face the entire roster... once the final major update of the year hits.
Timed Events: With the date system already in place and really not used for much beyond expiring quests and moving party members at work/school/whatever, there'll also be some new in-game events to watch out for, be it parties, special minigames or outbreaks of something rare during Ventures...
Roamers: While you're idling at home, taking quests or Venturing out, other Reverians may appear to challenge your teammates or ask for assistance - and may still linger around once the deed is done as a rival, friend, or potential new recruit.
Creature Creators Update: Here's a fun fact - out of the final(ish) roster of 220, 20 of them are just are variants of one specific species. More to the point, there's 20 reserved spots for goodness knows what, really. One day, I'd like to call in some fan-made submissions to fill in some of these unused slots, perhaps during or after this year. More on that some other time.
Some Other Things: Also soon to be includes gardening at home, visiting other homelands, relations/breeding and..?

Full Colour Sprites

This feature's the one's been requested above all else, and honestly? I'm not at all chuffed about that. Still, while I'm not opposed to implementing this, there's only one little problem

each species has two colour alts, but only one sprite sheet per species. Couple that with goodness-knows how many sprites are already completed (even including items), and it's all maybe a bit much to ask. In other words, colour sprites aren't completely out of the question, but they're just gonna take a while. That's about it for now. Thanks for looking, and look out for more revisional updates starting next month.

Discover the realm of Reveria, a wild world a cast of curious creatures call home. Take the role as one of these monsters as you encounter all kinds of Reverians, and embark on all sorts of adventures and quests!

⭐ PLAY YOUR WAY

Customise your experience with two versions in Red and Blue, with exclusive and more easily accessible areas, homelands, species and shells, real time progression toggles and two distinct gameplay modes...

⭐ GO EASY, GO HARD

In Revery Mode, you're free to tame and nurture your currently active Reverian in one of 10 distinct homelands, while Gazing Mode presents a more challenging experience with requiring regular check-ins to maintain your whole team's well-being all at once - all while playing as the very weakest Reverians.

⭐ MEET THE REVERIANS

Play as one of over 50 fully-evolved Reverians in Revery Mode (or 5 special Reverians in Gazing Mode), and encounter over 100 species and discover their unique traits and needs, from dietary needs and instinctual habits to elemental skills and special abilities. Recruit and raise up to 20 party members through adoption, dropped eggs and defeating invaders!

⭐RAISE YOUR REVERIANS

Keep your party in top form by feeding, training and tending to their needs. Spend quality time with your party members by playing minigames and fighting alongside them, and watch bonds form as they hang out amongst each other... but watch out for infighting, truancy and sabotage!

⭐ COMPETE IN BATTLES

Fight with your party members or enter the fray with your own player character in classic turn-based bouts. Test your skills in Training Battles, participate in Tourneys, and undertake daring Nightward Raids against waves of adversaries!

⭐ EXPLORE THE WORLD

Visit your homeland for items, amenities and quests, and send off party members to search for materials and work for money and experience. Discover new areas to explore in as you increase your Player Rank with quests and raids!

⭐ COLLECT, CULTIVATE AND CRAFT

Manage your inventory wisely and stock up on essential supplies from your homeland's shops and the elusive Alterworks Depot. Harvest plants, go on a voyage for materials, craft your own items and cook new foods with the help of your party members!

✨ FEATURING

124 species currently available, 21 of which subspecies
70 zones of differing continents and biomes to explore
50 tourneys to take on
11 minigames for training and bonding
11 homelands with exclusive items

💫 PLEASE NOTE

This game's still in active development, and certain features, items and the like that are already visible or available don't do anything as of yet. Updates are also prioritized for the PC version first - it might take a bit for Android... whenever that'll come out.

There are also some differences between Red and Blue versions, such as how often certain species appear and what areas are readily available or temporary, but exclusive content isn't totally inaccessible on one or the other.
