Ara Fell: Enhanced Edition open beta has begun!

Hey everyone! For those of you who don't know, for the last year or so, we've been working on the "enhanced edition" of Ara Fell, which constitutes a massive update that we intend to make free to anyone who already owns a copy of the game! Before we can go live, we've needed to do some testing, and it's finally ready for open beta!

To Download:

[olist]

In your Steam game library, right-click Ara Fell, go to Properties, click the Beta tab

Enter the password: afeebetarawr

Press 'check code'

From the drop down list, select "opt into beta" [/olist]

To Play:

In your game library, launch Ara Fell, and when prompted to pick which "Ara Fell" to run, choose the second of the two options. If you pick the wrong one it'll give you an error message.

Submitting Bugs:

While playing, hit F5 to bring up the bug submission window. You don't need to fill out both the title and the description, just throw as much text as you think is necessary to let us know about the issue. When you hit submit, it'll upload a screenshot (of the game, not your PC), your most recent autosave, a fresh save, your notes, and it'll tag it with your Steam display name. Thanks!

Testing Tools:

Press 'T' to toggle collision on/off. Be aware, while collision is off you'll be unable to trigger events, so you'll need to turn it back on in order to zone or interact with objects
Use + and - to change the game's play speed, up to 10x. Be aware that while the game is running at a faster rate, some input buttons may be triggered more than once with a single press.

Feedback:

We really like feedback! If you want to share any general feedback such as "this game sucks!", or "this boss is awesome!", please feel free to send us a message directly or use the bug submission tool. We read everything!

Communication:

You can message us directly via Steam or send us a message on Discord.

Known Issues:

The only supported language is English
Some gamepads might not be mapped yet - let us know if you encounter a broken gamepad, please! (And to map it, go to settings -> devices -> map gamepad)
Twitch mode isn't finished yet, if you use it, you're entering into untested territory. But to use it, put your Twitch channel in the textbox that appears when you toggle it on. It'll connect when you close the settings menu. You should see community voting polls appear when you're outside town - out in the world or in dungeons
Steam achievements aren't enabled yet
There are some UI issues in battle when running at a 4:3 aspect ratio (we recommend making your game window 16:9 or 16:10! It auto-resizes as you resize the window when you aren't playing fullscreen)
If you have multiple of the same gamepad connected, they may not work

FAQ

Can I use my existing Ara Fell save with AFEE? Nope! The game is so different that there isn't a way to carry saves over.
Will I lose my Ara Fell saves if I download the beta? Nope! Steam will replace your existing Ara Fell files with the AFEE ones, but it'll leave your save files in place. When you switch back over to the non-beta version, your saves will still be there.
This is lots of fun, how can I support the devs and the community? Just tell us if you're enjoying the game! The feedback really helps to motivate us.
I found a bug that broke the game - how soon will it be fixed? Usually within 24 hours. We release a new patch as-needed every day or two.
I read there was a new patch but my client didn't download anything? If a patch is released while Steam is running, you may need to restart Steam to tell it to immediately check for updates.

tl;dr; have fun, hit T if you get stuck, hit F5 to submit a bug, and thanks! <3 Frost and Stephen, STEGOSOFT GAMES LLC

Ara Fell Linux [679.01 M]

Public Linux depots

"Long, long ago, the elven sorcerers cast a spell to save the floating world of Ara Fell from destruction. Instead, they doomed it to fall from the sky. By chance, the fate of the world has been placed in the hands of a young woman. Join her as she and her friends endeavor against all odds to save their homeland, all while the clock ticks ever nearer the final hour..."

Ara Fell combines the best parts of Japanese-style roleplaying games with the best parts of western RPGs, as well as including elements of visual novels and adventure games to create a truly unique experience. Atmosphere, emotion and surprise lie at the forefront of Ara Fell's story, driven by deep and accessible characters, each with his or her own past, their own desires and their own motivations for joining Lita's quest. Relive the golden age of the RPG with a game that both pays homage to the past greats, as well as blazing its own trail.

The new Enhanced Edition features a slew of upgrades, including a revamped battle system, new character classes and skills, new side quests, an overhauled UI, upgraded crafting system, new enchanting system, enhanced aspect ratios, new difficulty modes, an autosave feature, Twitch integration, and more!

EXPLORATION - Ara Fell is a world meant to be explored! Jump, crawl, swim and even fly through the air to solve puzzles and discover new locations filled with hidden treasure, secrets and adventure! Every corner of Ara Fell is designed with exploration in mind.
OPEN WORLD - Most of the world can be explored from the moment you leave Aloria Village, the heroine's home town... provided, of course, you're strong enough. A clever explorer may be able unlock secrets and discover powerful equipment early in the game if he or she commits to taking advantage of the open nature of the game world.
TACTICAL COMBAT - Ara Fell may be a story-heavy game, but the world is still fraught with danger. Choose specialized equipment and statistics, customizing each character to best suit your play style, and to best thwart each boss battle's unique mechanics.
CHARACTER DRIVEN - When you join Ara Fell's unwitting heroine on her quest to save her homeland, you'll discover a world filled with vibrant characters who laugh, cry, crack jokes, lose their tempers, and even their will to go on as the size and scope of the curse that plagues Ara Fell becomes apparent. Friends and villains alike are not who they seem as the stakes grow ever higher...
