Happy new year 2025 Almorians!

29

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:


( Unique downloads from all countries )

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.

Below you can see how much improving the game affects your rating:

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!
