Runes of Aereal October Update

It's october 2023, so time for a new update on the Runes of Aereal. A lot of work has been done this time, mostly based on feedback of the community.

In terms of consistency of look and feel, I've changed quite some visual assets. The spellbooks and crafting items have had an overhaul, as you can see in the screenshot below. I've added hints for them as well, where as that wasn't the case up until now.

The crafting interface has also been improved, and now allows to upgrade multiple scrolls in one session. A lot of pesky bugs have been fixed here.

Also, the runes have had an upgrade, and I've provided them with a name and some extra lore.

Based on community feedback, I also revamped the shop interface. Basically, made it much easier. Instead of working with baskets, there's the possiblity to sell items just by clicking on it, and also buying items while clicking on them, as long as there are sufficient funds.

A new boss creature has been introduced : the Phoenix. A nice bird like creature with nice animations.

I really got a lot of feedback from playtesters, community and marketing (thanks guys!). I'm on a mission to evaluate and implement a lot of them, and a lot of work has been done here already. Especially all of those bugs you don't encounter if you created the game, and don't assume people are going to do things out of the ordinary.

Next up is to have some kind of tutorial. I see a lot of people struggling with the mechanics, so a tutorial will be a useful addition, in my opinion. That's to come in november, so stay tuned people!

Cheers!
