- Update Journal - 10 February 2024
A new member has joined the team. The team? Well, when you're alone, you can't really say that, but, well, with 2, we're a team! Let's welcome Petrus properly! His contributions have been more than essential to Alvara! What's New? To start, Petrus has reworked all the in-game visuals! Visuals aren't the only addition from Petrus. Together, we've thought about making the game more interactive. Previously, Alvara was a rich world but strangely empty. So, we set out to populate it: objects, plants, rocks, etc. Thus, the universe is much more alive, and most importantly, most objects are now interactive. You can pick them up to forge items or make potions! The forging system, although it existed from the beginning, is being perfected. Additionally, alchemy is making its debut in Alvara. What Else? Now, you'll have the opportunity to share much more with your team. In the camps, you can choo…
