Welcome in 2025! What happened in 2024?
2024 was a really busy time for me. Although I’m working on Almora Darkosen 2, there were a lot of big updates for Almora Darkosen 1.
Over the year, about 500,000 new players joined, which gives us almost 2,000,000 downloads! This is a really great result:

You write a lot of opinions from all over the world, in different languages (good thing there’s Google Translator 😊). Thank you very much for all of them, especially the constructive ones, which had a huge impact on the development of the game, because I take each of them seriously and analyze them all thoroughly. I reply to almost all of your opinions, because I know how important the game community is. How important you are – the players, because without you, there is no Almora Darkosen!
Thank you for your emails and Discord messages, you are very willing to help other players, you write a lot of suggestions, I am really grateful to you for that. By helping others, you relieve my work and give me the opportunity to further develop new projects.

Thank you for your involvement! I did not think that Almora Darkosen would steal your hearts so much! For me, as a creator, there is no better Christmas present than such a great result.
Let’s recall the most important features that were added in 2024:
– Gamepad support! (end of 2023, beginning of 2024)
– Correct screen proportions! (no more display stretching!)
– Ability to increase/decrease attack buttons
– Inventory – drag & drop system!
– Skills – drag & drop system
– Marked quests on the world map
– Slowing down the character when entering the enemy, instead of blocking
– Minimap – an arrow indicating the direction of the quests
– Loading the entire game at the start – no lag between locations
– Android 14 support
And a ton of numerous fixes and changes! You can see more here: https://almoradarkosen.com/change-log/
It wasn’t easy, because each of these functions required a lot of testing and fixes. Nevertheless, everything worked out and we currently have a stable version 1.1.87 (in the Android version).
I still have a lot of work ahead of me, because I’m working on Almora Darkosen 2 in parallel, and soon the first part will get a few more new features:
– Additional game modes (difficulty levels – “NEW GAME+”)
– Achievements
– PC version of the game (Steam), SteamDeck, Nintendo Switch
Wish me luck and may the new year be as fruitful as 2024. I wish you lots of health and success! All the best in the new year 2025.
Thank you and see you soon!
