Beta Patch 1.3 "The Flesh Rises"

Dear Travellers of the Otherworld!

The time has come! The last Content Patch for Drova is close. And today our Open Beta for Patch 1.3 begins!

With the Beta we want to give you a chance to give us Feedback early about the new content. We hope that with your Feedback about balancing and the reported Bugs (if you find some) we can have an even better full release of the Patch. Since it is still in development, don't be surprised if some animations or sound effects don't seem to be finished just yet (or if they are even missing).

Also the french localization isn't available just yet. It will be included in the full release of the patch though.

We've got some additional cool news for you: We have created a Cay-Plushie in cooperation with Makeship. The campaign for the Plushie will start soon. You’ll find more infos down below.

Last but not least we have prepared an Update-Video for you in which Chris presents the latest changes and additions of the Patch. As always the video was recorded in German but English subtitles are available.

The Open Beta - How to Play

To activate the Beta you need to right click in your Library on Drova and pick Properties. There you pick"Betas"and choose in the Drop Down Menu"Beta Participation"where you then have to pick the Version called “beta_patch_1_3”.

You can play the Beta with all your savegames but savegames created in the Beta are not compatible with previous versions of the game. When 1.3 is released, the saves you used in the beta will work again. If you want to be on the safe side, you can create backup copies of your savegames. Depending on your operating system, you can find these at the following locations:

Win: C:\Users\ \AppData\LocalLow\Just2D\Drova\Sprint_24\Hero_XX\Savegame_XX Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Just2D/Drova/Sprint_24\Hero_XX\Savegame_XX Linux: ~/.config/unity3d/Just2D/Drova/Sprint_24/Hero_XX/Savegame_XX

If you followed the instructions accordingly, Drova should update quickly and you'll be able to start right away!

Cay Campaign

Many of you fell in love with a small little piglet in the Forest Primeval. We got so many requests for a Cay Plushie and some of you even started a poll on our Discord for that. We loved the idea so we started looking around right away.

In cooperation with Makeship we created a Plushie for Cay! The Plushie will be declared as funded once at least 200 preorders have been made. So get ready, the campaign will start together with the release of Patch 1.3 on March 28.

Here's already a link for the campaign

What's new?

Quite some of you wished for more content for later parts of the game. For the new Patch we took that feedback serious and added fresh lategame content. And yes, of course there was more feedback and all of the new content and changes in the following list are based on your feedback!

WARNING! Some of the changes contain heavy spoilers. If you did not play through Drova just yet and you don't want to get spoiled you should REALLY skip this part!

The Flesh Rises

This is the biggest change we ever made since the release of Drova. The description is vague on purpose as you shall get a chance to discover on your own what this is all about:

Uncover secrets of the Bygones. How did the Red Moor come to life and what did the Bygones do there back in
