Greetings from the Elteria Adventures team! Its been quite a while since the last piece of news from our project, hasnt it? Well, today weve got something very exciting to show you as the result of months of research, development and playtesting (HUGE thanks to our alpha testers, by the way!), that we hope, will help us to create a much more focused, fun and creative experience for you to enjoy. Introducing the brand new game world! Cubes! This part can be recognized instantly. The world, previously consisting of rounded cubic voxels, has now become almost entirely cubified. We know, we loved the smooth realistic terrains too! But not only did the playtests show us that these new cubic surroundings looked way more in line with your own beautiful architectural creations, they also made the environments much more easily readable and even prettier to look at. Just look at these screenshots!


Optimized Building. Smaller cubic voxels also allow us to introduce a number of new possible buildings and add more variation in natural geometries such as caves and mountains. The upgraded building mechanics are also more comfortable to use, making it so much easier to create the home base of your dreams or even an entire fortified sky island that would look completely at place among its surroundings!

Accessible Terramorphing. Weve made it easier to both gather resources, as well as destroy and rebuild your environments. Dont care for gathering extra rock and dirt? Put aside your Glove and just crush these blocks into nothing with your trusty weapons! All said destruction of your surroundings will linger for far, far longer, making it possible to even use terramorphing for base building! Incorporate your base into a mountain! Make a basement! Erase an island you dont like and make it STAY that way!

Sandboxy goodness. More narrative freedom to go with your mechanical freedom! Go wherever you want and do whatever you want from the start. No more essential progression hidden behind quests! In fact, we are currently reworking the quests to be far more open and fun, and far less resembling running through your grocery list.
Explore and survive in the world of Elteria along with your friends! And of course, you can still gather your team and restore the world of Elteria together with!
We want to thank all our alpha testers for their feedback and for their help in making our dream game come true If youd like to be among the first playtesters of the closed new version, just comment here and well send you an invite!

The world of Elteria is fully changeable. You can break it, you can build it. Even with basic abilities you can make holes in the world or create platforms in midair, you can throw your enemy in the wall and there will be a hole! The landscape is your weapon: shape it and use it to your advantage in fights with monsters or players! To make it possible, we use our own lighting-fast voxel engine that was in development for the last few years.

The core principle of Elteria is more game mechanics, fewer numbers. Abilities, artifacts, and enemies - all have different mechanics. The major part of gameplay is Artifact crafting. Every artifact gives you some ability and has its own way of acquisition. Equipment slots differ by the abilities given by the items going in each one, not by anatomical forms.

Players can choose one of many character classes - Callings - which give abilities too! Each has a different playstyle. There are no artifact equipment restrictions, this way many unpredictable and funny combinations can emerge. Players will need to choose artifact sets for different situations. We love to see which combinations of abilities players will invent! We will listen to your feedback and the game will be balanced and improved continuously. Three of callings are already playable and two more in development. You can expect the continuous addition of artifacts and callings.

In Elteria, you have not only the usual MMO or RPG feel, but platformer-like too! The world is made of flying islands, some are large, some are archipelagos of small ones. For ease of movement between them, there are jumper mushrooms, sunflowers, and other fun movement objects. They create a unique platformer feel while remaining a 3D open-world RPG. Some abilities allow you to move even better. Just look at that:

Almost anything you see on the screen is interactive more than in most other games. You can break it, or it wants to break you. Explosions make huge craters and break trees, you can break walls with enemies, mushrooms propel you in the air or on another island, tentacles emerge from the floor and hit you, some plants are mines, some are collectible, and of course, monsters are trying to kill you or do other fun stuff with you!

The game has a deep narrative. The following is the part of the playable character's story.


Your old world was full of misery and injustice, but suddenly strange portals started to appear in cities. You decided there is nothing to lose and stepped in. You found yourself in the lush and magical world of Elteria, filled with peculiar creatures and flying islands! After you finished staring on the massive planet in the sky, the green piglets and another floating island, you notice the large blue crystal, hanging in the air. You came to it, and suddenly, a mysterious projection of a woman appeared and started talking to you! She wants to help you. You don't know her motivation, but she seems very friendly. You have so many questions about this world...

We have also created a backstory of the Elteria World itself, called Elteria Cataclysm. In the game, the narrative will continue to evolve, being mysterious and thought-through.

Elteria once was a beautiful world inhabited by all kinds of people. It was a place similar to Victorian London – bubbling with life and constantly evolving. But everything changed with the discovery of new properties of the very fabric of reality. Civilized world was swept away by Magic Rush – every scholar dived into the new branch of science trying to make a breakthrough.
According to her theory, such object combined with a sophisticated system of gem drainage would allow opening a stable rift between worlds, giving pretty much an unlimited amount of energy. She wanted to create a utopia and to achieve this goal a research group was put together. Thus began the “Magical World” project.

Players have their free personal Home Field. We plan to add large guild spaces. You will be able to build fortresses on islands, and on them you will be able to fight other players, to attack others, or to protect them from PvE events. There will be battlefields and leaderboards, but imagine how fun it will be to battle with other players using all these land-altering abilities!


Your main building tool is blueprints. The voxels are very small and placing each individually would be too slow, but with blueprints, you can instantly create some forms. Yes, you CAN use them in battle! Some BPs are basic forms; some are complex and rare ones even have aura effects on them. I.e., a wall which slows enemies around it. You still need materials to place BP. The material will define structure durability. You can find BPs anywhere in the world, and once you found one, it's yours.

To make full use of voxel world, we are considering adding a separate world with creative mode and no monsters, for players to express themselves fully. We are not yet sure and will evaluate the feedback later.

The visual appearance and style consistency of the game is crucial for us. You already can see day and night cycle, voxel lighting and you can expect continuous polishing of visual style.
