Dev Log #4: Jan.2025

Hello everyon! This is the Aeruta development team🔆
Welcome to Vol. 4 of the official Aeruta dev log!

This might be a bit late, but Happy New Year to you all!🎉

With the start of a new year, development for Aeruta is progressing full steam ahead.
We’re currently working on a small spring update and the long-awaited official release!
(Wooho!!💥)


We’re juggling a lot at once, but we hope it’ll all turn out alright✨

• [h3]Spring update, goddesses’ stories🌸[/h3]
  Ahh, spring… new life is budding, the sun is gentle, the leaves are young and fragrant, and cherry blossoms are in full bloom.
  It’s the perfect season to make friends!
  
  
  During this picturesque season, we will implement friendship events with the friendly goddesses, who we all admire so much.
  How did the cheerful and bright Kocori and the stern yet calm Tyreenss become goddesses?
  Strengthen your bonds with them and all will be revealed!💙❤
  
  
  
• [h3]New area incoming! Our next destination is…[/h3]
  Following Chaya’s adventures in Merca and Orrindae, our hero will travel to the next stage: ancient and bustling ruins.
  It will be a stage full of ●●●●●, ×××××, and plenty of △△△△△!
  It’s sure to be a new and exciting experience, with even more dangers and delicious attractions!
  
  The whole team is currently hard at work designing all the new environments, enemies, and ingredients. We’re really looking forward to sharing it with all of you!
  
  
• [h3]The 1st Character Popularity Ranking: Bakersfield Cup![/h3]
  During the Steam Playtest held November last year, we compiled and ranked your favorite characters from the survey🏆
  
  So let’s take a look at who captured everyone's hearts in the 1st Character Popularity Ranking !
  🎉
  
  🥉 3rd place: Chilala
  Despite her late appearance in the game after the fall major update, her adorable appearance and remarkable genius (and numerous eccentricities) garnered her a lot of attention, rightfully earning her third place!
  It seems many were charmed by this young genius!🎀
  
  🥈 2nd place: Effie
  You can't go on an adventure without a loaf of Effie’s bread!
  The kid bear who always supports Chaya and friends in their adventures ranked second place!
  Effie lost her parents when she was a small child, but inherited the family bakery. Thanks to her inner strength and natural cheerfulness, she diligently continues to research new bread recipes.
  The warm loaves of bread she makes are as soft and comforting as hot cocoa with marshmallows on a winter day!☕️
  
  🏆 1st place: Chaya
  The winner is none other than the main character of our story, thanks to the overwhelming support of everyone who voted!
  As a rookie adventurer she may be a little out of her element now and then, but her positive and kind nature as well as her courage in the face of difficulty proves her potential to be a hero (though she’s not quite there yet)!
  
  
  Did your fav make the rankings?
  Share your thoughts with us on SNS🌟
  

We worked as hard as we could in 2024, and just like firewood in its final moments, we are officially “burn out.”
As such, we will be taking a week off for Lunar New Year 2025! (Hooray! 🎉)


But before that, we’ll get our whips and rolling pins ready,
because we’ll be exhibiting at the 2025 Taipei Game Show on January 23rd!🍞

We’ll be waiting for you at booth S04.
You can also pick up a free Hero Rolling Pin at the event! Be ready to take down Pattis any time!💥

Additionally, we will have a scale model of Effie’s bakery, handmade teddy bread... and many other surprises!
If you’re coming to the event, please visit our booth!



Time sure flies when you’re having fun…
This wraps up Volume 4 of the Aeruta dev log!
After a short break, a small spring update is just around the corner! Please look forward to it!
