Aera is getting very close to Beta!
A huge amount of work has gone into the game recently, and we're happy to say that most of Aera's core systems are now working properly. The game is starting to feel more and more like a complete MMORPG, and we're entering the final stages of development before Beta.
BETA PROGRESS
• Combat and abilities
• Character classes and equipment
• Stats and enhancements
• Maps, NPCs, and monsters
• In-game chat
• Inventory and equipment
• Quests and rewards
• Shops and item systems
• Monster spawning and interactions
• Account and website systems
• Administration and moderation tools
• Discord integration
WHAT'S LEFT?
Although most of the major systems are functional, there are still some bugs and smaller issues that need to be fixed before Beta.
We're also continuing to create in-game content for the Beta release. This includes new maps, monsters, NPCs, items, equipment, quests, and other content for players to discover.
THE GOAL
The goal of the Beta isn't to have every feature completed.
Instead, we want to reach a point where Aera is stable and playable enough for players to jump in, explore the world, fight monsters, complete quests, collect equipment, and help us test the game.
Player feedback during Beta will be extremely important. It will help us identify bugs, improve existing systems, balance gameplay, and decide what we should focus on next.
ALMOST THERE
We're entering the final stretch before Beta.
There are still bugs to squash and plenty of content to add, but Aera is closer than ever to being ready for players.
Thank you to everyone who has been following development and supporting Aera.
The adventure is almost ready to begin.
