Dev Log #1: Sept. 2024

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!
  • [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.

    A variety of enemies await you on the island including members of a small bird militia, smoke-scented Pattis, and three new bosses.
  • [h3]New Resources and New Breads[/h3]
    There are two things that Effie looks forward to the most: Chaya’s safe return from her adventures, and the new ingredients she brings back! 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.🍞🥐
  • [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?

And that’s all for the news regarding the fall update!

But that wasn’t the only thing we planned to announce… we’ve got one more big announcement for you!
And that big announcement is… all the content we just shared will be available to experience at the upcoming Tokyo Game Show 2024!!!
This will be an exclusive, early look at everything coming to the new island! If you’re coming to the Tokyo Game Show, be sure to stop by our booth and get a sneak peek!
On top of this exciting news, we’ve got tons of free goodies to hand out to everyone who plays Aeruta at the event, including some limited-edition notebooks and stickers!
You won’t want to miss this chance.✨



To wrap up this dev log, we’d like to give a final thank you to all of you wonderful players who went out of your way to purchase the Early Access version of Aeruta.
Thanks to your support and feedback we’ve been able to get a clear understanding of where improvements need to be made and work towards creating the most balanced version of Aeruta for final release.

Besides the upcoming fall update, the whole Aeruta Team will continue to do their best to think of even more adventures and research a variety of bakery management strategies.

Each upcoming development log will be an exclusive development to the tale of Bakersfield, so don’t miss an update!
