PPS, Servers are US-based for now but I can look into international servers if there’s demand.

Save Sync

If you’d like to back up your game data across multiple devices (including iOS + Android soon), consider subscribing to dreamstone. In addition to save synchronization, the service offers other perks like expanded inventory, rotating game shops, character customization, and more.

Game data is stored totally client-side otherwise, so this is also a great way to back up that character you’ve spent lots of time on. Plus, the subscription cost goes towards hosting all these fun new features!

Polish and Mechanic Changes

  • Overhauled and upgraded all the game’s libraries. (Better controller/hotswap support!)

  • Support variable refresh rates (144 is the new 60)

  • Smoother camera, UI

  • Added multicast: CSPD past 100 has a chance to cast certain spells multiple times. At 200 CSPD you’re guaranteed two casts, 350 is guaranteed 3 with a 50% chance for a 4th, etc.

  • Ongoing Rebirth Mode and Orb Garden balance

  • Bugfixes aplenty!

  • The game should not silently crash or enter a black screen if something does go wrong. Instead, you’ll get a copy-pasteable error message for me to quickly fix. (Please send any crashes my way!)

That’s most of the major changes! Check out the Releases page on the wiki for more details. I hope you enjoy the new stuff. If you encounter any issues reach out on discord or email support@alcuria.net.

Let me know what you’d like to see next. Take care!
