Hello everyone! This is the Aeruta Development Team🔆 Welcome to our first official development log! It’s been a little while since Aeruta’s Early Access release, but we wanted to check in and let you know the team has been hard at work everyday preparing future updates as well as getting ready for Aeruta’s official release. To keep you all in the loop, we decided to start a development log so you can see the progress we’ve been making and take a look at what we’re adding in the future! This is our first time doing something like this, but we’re excited to receive all your feedback and thoughts as we continue to release these updates. So without further ado, let’s dive into the world of Aeruta! [list] [*][h3]Free Update for Fall🍁[/h3] As August came to a close, we said farewell to summer days (even though we’re melting from the heat as we’re writing this…) The end of summer means the start of the fall season and with it a brand new free update to enjoy. Due to the variable nature of game development, we can’t share too many details just yet. But rest assured that you can look forward to the update sometime in November. We’re really looking forward to sharing it with you all very soon! [*][h3]2nd Stage Design Details[/h3] We’re happy to announce that the “Second Island” you’ve all been looking forward to is currently in the late stages of production! This island has three different environments, each being inspired by the “aroma” of bread. The stages incorporate the fresh aroma of fruit and the intense smell of flowers to create a tropical island atmosphere! As you venture deep into the dungeons, you’ll encounter all new and extremely dangerous obstacles.

After all… you can't make bread without the ingredients, right? With the bounty of ingredients Chaya brings combined with the recipes Effie inherited, research for the new breads has already been completed! Here’s a little sample of the breads made with tropical island flavors! Stay tuned for other breads in the upcoming fall update.🍞🥐 [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//43525165/513cd7cd5941f969aa5cfa0aa53d28b36b4a9bb1.jpg[/img] [*][h3]Progress the Main Storyline![/h3] Chaya’s journey to becoming a hero, the epic oven disaster that led her into debt, and a mystery lurking in the shadows… we can only guess what turns this tale will take with the addition of two all-new characters in Bakersfield! But this is as far as we’ll go with spoilers! Don’t worry, you’ll have the chance to enjoy all the details in the update coming soon! Right now, the team is working on stories for each character that you can delve into. Which character are you most interested in getting to know?
