addedThe Eldervale remake has been ported to a new engine version, got replaced lighting models and rendering. The character model has also been completely reworked with much smoother animations and controls. This is only the beginning, as from now on I can actively rework environmental models and textures to look even better.

addedThe most important difference will not be purely cosmetic however. My main goal is to improve melee and shooting combat, camera and character controls (especially joystick controls) drastically. This is my main objective in this project. A stretch goal would be to add some new areas to extend the game a bit.

changedIn the end, the remake will drastically improve production quality while being a free update. The game may get a base price increase later on. Owners of the game will be able to play both the original version and the remake.

Thank you for all the support over the years, I'm working on a lot of stuff for Eldervale, the sequel and my other projects. It takes a while being a solo dev and I definitely had difficulties in these past 2 years, but please, if you want to support me or be up to date about how the projects are coming along,
