- Anode Heart 2 announcement! - 16 March 2025
It's official! Anode Heart is getting a mainline sequel! ːsteamhappyː Wishlist: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3568570/Anode_Heart_2/ The spinoff I'm currently working on, Layer Null, will still take development priority, but once that's wrapped up, I'm committing myself 100% to AH:2. Like the first game, the sequel will be a monster tamer game, and it will be set a bit further into the future, after certain.. world-changing events. Battles will be expanded into a 3v3/4v4 system, with influences from tactics RPGs and classic monster taming games. You can expect at least a 120+ new Tama, and 20-30 fan favorite returners from the first game. Check out the full info and the teaser trailer on its Steam page! Thank you all for stopping by and see you soon !
- New Anode Heart game; [Layer Null] page is Live! - 17 August 2024
Hello everyone, I've been working on this for about 4 months now and I can finally officially announce it. is the next game in the Anode Heart Universe! Wishlist on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3068670/Anode_Heart_Layer_Null/ is a standalone card battler RPG, based on the card minigame from the first Anode Heart game. It's set in the same universe, but on a completely new Layer of the A:H world, with new maps, mechanics, story, characters and villains. This game will serve as a bridge to the Sequel, that will take place on the far side of Zearth, shortly after the ending of the first game. It's not yet fully confirmed, but I'm most likely planning to release the first third of into Early Access towards the end of this year. This would be a complete, fully functioning first third of the content (open for re-balancing and quality of life changes). More info on this and the re…
- v1.1.3 tiny tweaks patch - 27 June 2024
Hello everyone, A tiny tweaks and improvements patch, v1.1.3 is up and running. Let me know if you encounter any issues. Patch notes: - Added sorting options for owned cards - Tweaked quests that require Tama to look at both active and benched parties - Added a hint in Connor's dialogue to visit the Control Room - Added a more accessible bank terminal in the Mansion As outlined in the previous patch notes, I'm now developing a (semi-)sequel card game Anode Heart project. It's on the verge of becoming a presentable entity, so I'm planning on publishing a Steam page for it towards the end of July/early August. See you again soon!
- v1.1.2 patch + roadmap - 12 May 2024
Hello everyone, Aside from a few smaller bug fixes, v1.1.2 brings a new Gameplay Settings tab with options for Wild Tama/Trainers/Bosses level scaling and a new "Auto-Potential" option, which auto-converts any Potential you get on level up or evolution into Stat points. https://i.imgur.com/XLv5VOJ.gif With v1.1.2 done, I will continue to focus on the next project, the Tama card game! (and Spanish translation for Anode Heart in parallel) The card game will be a shorter project - a side game to play while the Sequel is developed. I'm building the card game with PvP support in mind, so online play with friends and tournaments are a potential thing, but it will still primarily be an offline experience. More news on that next month. You can follow the regular updates here: https://twitter.com/Stochasticcc Or in the Discord: https://discord.gg/8dHUrWejSD Thank you and see you soon!
