- Legends Of Iona RPG - SOON TO BE FREE? - 24 December 2020
Hi everyone, long time no see! ːsteamhappyː Iona was made over a long period of 10 years, with volunteers, part time workers. The lead was driven by pure passion and countless hours of management, production and touch ups. It is many years and lifetime wholehearted investment in this passion game. The reason why the game took so long to publish is that we developed our own 3D engine and tools called the Decoy3D engine and developed the game part time over 10 years. After 5 years, we decided to test many engines, (CryEngine*, Unreal* 3) and decided for practicality to switch to the Unity3D* engine because of its vast exporting features that Decoy3D did not have. The game is inspired from classic RPGs like Shinning the Holy Ark* on the Saturn, Zelda*, Some colorisation styling from games like WoW*, labyrinths and guards, found in games like Phantasy Star* 1987. (We are big fans!) We want…
- We updated the Fonts ! - 9 November 2018

However, porting an old game to newer systems will be a quite a challenge. Pat, FX, Chris and Clau are going to make it happen! Before making any new teaser. We are preparing a full visual upgrade on the game. This might take a while. P.s. There will be a new Zaak and UI system (not in screenshot yet)
- Big upgrade? - 5 April 2018
Hello gamers! Ok we uploaded one last version before the big update. The big update will be in a while. Here's why: -The new controls and camera are almost implemented but would work way better on Unity 2017-18. -The current version of Iona is on Unity 4.7! So we need time to port all the way to 2017-18. This wont be easy but we need smooth animations and post rendering features. -We have assembled a team and time to make the needed 3D facelift on level 1-2! It will go under production in a week. The new team is now working on ZBrush and Substance Painter not only 3dsmax. -We have a experience artist that will redo all the UI, get ready for a major change! -After all this, yes, we will redo the teaser. Stay tuned!

- Play before and after the big upgrade - 20 February 2018
Hi, gamers! Before a big upgrade on the camera and controls, we are making a major discount on the game for only 8 days, starting on Feb 20 tomorrow! During the next days, you will see a big change in the gameplay from the current version to new controls and camera. Some had complained that the character moves are stiff and tank like. That is because it was designed to fit in retro gaming style. But, since we are making efforts to make our gamers happier... well we are programming a big upgrade on this issue and soon it will be available to all.
