Hey everyone,

Its been a whilelonger than I planned, and for that, I apologize. Life has a strange way of throwing up walls just when you think you\'re past the hardest part. The wrap-up for Elleria: Wheel of Fate took more time than I wanted it to, but its finally here.

Originally, I had bigger plans for this DLC. There were scenes, sequences, even a few side branches I wanted to include but the window I had set aside for production simply ran out. Some things had to be cut, reworked, or left behind. That said, I still think Wheel of Fate turned out to be a solid expansion to Ellerias lore. We introduced new characters, deepened the world, and gave players some weighty choices that will carry over into what comes next.

On a more honest noteElleria has more or less hit its ceiling in terms of sales. It hasnt done terribly, but it hasnt justified further large-scale production in the way Id hoped. And while not everything should be about money, the unfortunate truth is: its a necessary evil when it comes to keeping a project alive.

At one point, I was genuinely considering scrapping everything moving forward and letting the story end here.

But I changed my mind.

Where this started with I, there is now we. Were trying to push through the chaos, were still hereand were still on top of it. Elleria will continue.

That said, Sands of Time (the next DLC) will be more fast-paced, more condensed, and yessome content will need to be trimmed. The same will apply to Book 2. Due to the financial flop of the game overall, well be cutting back on certain aspectsbut well still do our best to make it worth your time.

I wont pretend Elleria is perfectits rough around the edges in places, and Im very aware of that. But Im still proud of it. Writing this story has been a wild ride, and honestly? A fun one. I dont have a firm date for Book 2 yet, but Sands of Time should be arrivinghopefullybefore Christmas.

After that, well be shifting focus back to Valenza Family. If you want to know more about that project, check out our website:
