- Version 0.12 (Final) - 21 January 2025
Hey everyone, it's been a long time! I recently bought myself a Steam Deck and was feeling inspired so decided to do one final update on Oraxum Trials, which adds controller support and fixes a couple things that were preventing the game from running on Steam Deck. This will be the last update to Oraxum Trials (barring any critical bug fixes) so if you're reading this, thank you for playing! I'm planning on releasing a new game this year, so join the Discord server and be the first to hear updates about that: https://discord.gg/pf22PYr Added Controller support (joystick = mouse, A button = left click, B button = right click, see new help article for complete list of bindings) Support for SteamOS (using Proton) and Steam Deck Endgame screen that pops up when you buy the final Oraxum Size talent level Changed Update engine to Unity 6 Fixed Removed non-functional "Spend Points" button on A…
- Winding Down Development on Oraxum Trials - 10 August 2022
Hey players, I’m coming up on three years in my journey of making Oraxum Trials. I’ve been doing gamedev as a hobby for around a decade now but this was my first “real” game that I actually released and followed though all the way. In developing this game I’ve learned so much and grown as a game designer and programmer, but have also made every mistake possible regarding scope creep, marketing, balance, outsourcing, releasing game-breaking production bugs, etc, and at this point the code is kind of a mess of technical debt and bad architecture decisions I made 2 years ago. Since starting Oraxum Trials I’ve had a baby, bought a house, changed jobs, survived a global pandemic (so far), and have come to a place where it’s time for me to refocus my priorities. The mental load of working in software engineering during the day and maintaining a game in the evenings takes its toll and I end up…

Added Re-added "Crystal Instability" (now only boosts corruption) Changed Nerfed multiplier for "Corruption Value" talent Fixed Sliding buttons moving out of place when switching resolutions
- Version 0.11 - 12 July 2022
Hello, this update represents the most significant changes in Oraxum Trials since going onto Steam. I have been dissatisfied with the amount of active play required to manage selling energy and buffing auto-sell mechanics several times didn’t solve the problem. Instead, I decided to go in a different direction and have crystals generate money directly, and also reworked energy to be used for an entirely new game mechanic of casting spells. You no longer have to worry about “wasting” energy because all crystal capacity is converted directly into money, and the addition of spells gives new options for active players. For idle players there is a new talent which boosts your board production based on how long your energy bar has been full. Due to the extensive changes in mechanics and balance I would highly recommend doing a hard reset to start a new game (check the Steam forum for instruct…
