During the first months after launch, we analized the demographic data, and noticed that Trials of Azra is pretty popular among gamers from Germany and Russia (aside from US and ours, Argentina), so we decided to translate the game to those languages.

Tell your non-english speaking friends from Germany and Russia that it's time to get ToA and help Sam in his adventures!

In other news, Trials of Azra won its first award! We presented it on the expo Meet the Game 2016, and got first place, Game of Year award. We're very proud of that and wanted to share the news with you, our ever supporting community.

Finally, after roughly a year and a half of working on this project, that today is named Trials of Azra, we can happily announce that our game is fully released for you to enjoy it!

A big thanks to all of you that support our game and give it a chance. We will keep supporting it, of course, to polish and solve any issue that may appear, and maybe even add some extra details. We have a lot of fresh ideas to implement, and even some cool concepts for DLCs, but we will first see how the sales go, and what is best for the game and our studio in the near future.

For now, we hope you have fun with Trials of Azra, and please do share your thoughts with us on the community hub!

Hey there!

We'd like to announce the Official release date of Trials of Azra, that is September 15th. Yes! Only a week and a half away!
We are really excited to finally announce a definitive date for the launch after so much work.
Of course, we wouldn't do a full release if it wasn't that all the spotted bugs were fixed, and the final product is the closest possible to the experience we intended to deliver, so you can count on us in that the game is as polished as it can be, given our possibilities.

But for now, if you already own the game, you can check the patch notes for the new version (and hopefuly, the last one) to see what changed:

Additions:

• A new Key Binding feature has been added to the keyboard type control.
  
• Added a special border to the screen when an enemy is being controlled.
  
• Added a familiar sound notification when the Player 2 joins the game.
  

Fixes:

• Fixed a bug where the Bomb enemy kept following Sam after respawning with a Holy Light.
  
• Fixed a bug that made the sound not to resume after picking up a new spell.
  
• Fixed the player detection of some enemies not working as intended under specific circumstances.
  
• Fixed a bug that made the player spawn on an undesired spot upon entering the Basement area.
  
• Fixed a bug on the music volume change, not working as intended.
  
• Fixed an issue where the pug couldn't return from the left limit of the screen on the Intro.
  
• Fixed a bug on the highlight of some options when the player 2 was dropped from the game.
  
• Fixed a bug on coop, where Sam was unable to move for a brief moment while possessing an enemy with another enemy.
  
• Fixed a bug that made the possession aura color not change on time after possessing an enemy for the first time.
  
• Fixed a bug with the possession aura that made it be active when it shouldn't be.
  
• Fixed a bug with the possession aura that made it activate as soon as the player 2 was dropped from the game.
  
• Fixed a targeting bug on the Hungry Dog, that prevented it to detect a new target after losing the previous one.
  
• Fixed a bug with the enemy attacks that have a wind up animation, where, under specific circumstances, two projectiles were being thrown at the same time.
  
• Fixed an issue with the camera zoom not resetting to the default value after changing rooms while playing on coop.
  
• Fixed a bug that prevented the Player 2 from joining if the controller was disconnected and then reconnected out of the Pause Menu.
  
• Fixed the animation of the fireballs thrown by the Imp enemies.
  

Tweaks:

• When Sam is knocked back, now the camera shakes a bit.
  
• Some minor adjustments on some fades on the borders of the screen.
  
• The first part of the room 3-13 has been changed a little to make the Golem fight more fair.
  
• Changed the text at the start of the game that informed about auto-save and adviced to plug a control in.
  
• The initial part of the room 2-14 has been modified to soften the learning curve of the mechanic used on the room.
  
• Some parts of the room 4-6 have been adjusted to simplify the player's navigation.
  
• The coop legend on the top-right corner of the screen now slowly fades over time.
  
• The Golem enemy now throws the dashing punch from a closer distance.
  
• The demon enemies now have their magic shields deactivated after they are defeated.
  
• One of the acid holes on the room 2-12 has been moved a bit.
  
• A new zoom trigger has been added to the room 2-13 in order to clarify the puzzle.
  
• The levitation path of the Pyromancer between attacks has been changed so it's less probable for her to hit Sam while floating to a new spot.
  
• The Early Access legend on the Main Menu has been removed.

We keep working hard on the development of Trials of Azra. We are getting closer and closer to fixing and implementing all what we believe necessary for the launch.

It's been an intense week now that Trials of Azra is out in the open and most of the time we were making efforts to reach a wider audience. But we made some time to add 30 achievements, along with some minor tweaks and bug fixes.

For those who already started playing Trials of Azra, just start the game and you'll obtain the achievements (as long as you've met the requirements). And for the new players, we expect achievements to be a good incentive! Many of them are hidden, can you find them all?

As for the bugs and tweaks, here's the patch notes:

Additions:

• 30 new achievements added.
  

Fixes:

• Fixed an issue that made the frisbee in the Intro to get stuck into the house.
  
• Fixed a bug that made Sam collide with the Bomb enemy under specific circumstances.
  
• Fixed a bug where some doors could be interacted with from afar.
  
• A platform of the final boss has been modified to prevent an issue.
  
• Some crystals on room 2-11 were changing their base sprite when destroyed.
  
• Fixed an issue on room 4-3 where a gargoyle could leave the room through a ceiling hole.
  
• Some structures on room 4-9 have been slightly adjusted to prevent the Teleporter from reaching undesirable places.
  
• Adjusted the flight of the gargoyle on room 4-12 to prevent it from getting stuck.
  
• Fixed a bug where the player or possessed enemy could be knocked back when a Demon Hand was grabbing them, provoking the character to fly off-screen and not die.
  
• Fixed the behaviour of the Jumpers, they were behaving chaotically after some time.
  
• Fixed a bug that made the Bomb's explosion do damage on its spawn spot.
  
• Fixed a bug that triggered when a Bomb exploded while possessing it.
  

Tweaks:

• The Homing Missile spell behaviour has been improved to chase its objective better.
  
• Added a new tutorial text on room 1-3 stating that the number of deaths counts towards a reward.
  
• Some minor dialog corrections.
  
• Corrected a typo on a credit screen name.
  
• Added a door in the room 1-16 to prevent Sam from jumping off the platform once it's active.
  
• Added a 'holy light' in the room 1-16 to make it impossible to activate the platform lever with the Jumper.
  
• The stun duration of the Pyromancer Boss has been reduced.
  
• Now the played time will be counted even after resetting the room or dying.
  
• The dash animation of the Spear Kobold has been changed.
  
• Build version has been removed from the title screen and can now be found inside a text file on the root directory of the game.
  
• As a Demo for the game was added, we also made sure that the save files cannot be imported from full version to demo version, and vice versa.

Hello fellow players,

We'd like to inform you that we decided to put together a free demo so the players can try Trials of Azra and see what it has to offer, along with a price update to make it more accesible to everyone during the Early Access period, being that the objective of this moment in the development is to gather feedback, suggestions and build an engaged community.

In other news, we are really close to finish implementing ToA's Steam Achievements! Along with some minor bug fixes. More info on this once the update is up and running.

Also, we don't want to be unfair with the people that supported us from the start, so, for those that already bought the game, you can contact us to contact@onion-core.com and we'll compensate you accordingly.

As always, big thanks to the users that play ToA and help us day to day to build a great game.
