Color Balancing Update

Salve, Anima!

Today we wanted to share our progress on a minor change to the game what we expect to have a major impact – color balancing! While we have a groundwork for our color pallet that we are going to stick with, such as Team Light minions being blue and Team Dark minions being crimson or maroon, we want these colors to make sense and harmonize with each other. It is not enough for this game just to “look pretty” – it needs to be aesthetically comprehensible in addition t...

Vision System and Wards

Happy Friday Patrons!

Today we are giving you all an inside look at some of the changes we made to the Vision System and Wards in Ethereal! In one of our recent posts we talked about the updated Fog-of-War and the impact it will have on the game. Wards are something that were previously implemented as a very simplistic system, meant to provide a minimum threshold of functionality. However with the new systems, the minimum requirements of Wards has risen and we have redesigned and proper...

Fog of War Update

Hey Patrons!

Today we bring you the long awaited Fog-of-War update! This update was one of the biggest game-changing features that we still needed to add to the game for it to feel like the production-ready MOBA we want to deliver on release. The new Fog-of-War changes the dynamic between the way laners play the game and gives junglers more safety as they wander about unseen, as they no longer have to worry about being spotted by someone on the far side of the map. But be war...

Arawn VFX Update

Happy Thursday Patrons,

Today we got some behind the scenes content we have been working on for Arawn! His previous visual effects were very heavy on performance and overall were extremely oppressive via many distortion effects on screen. We also know visual gameplay clarity is a pain point across the board in Ethereal so we wanted to take the time to address that with Arawn as we felt he was a big offender in that category as well. While still being tweaked and improved, these new visu...

Talos Rework

Howdy Patrons,

Today's post is be all about Talos and the upcoming future changes we have for him. As the oldest Myth in development thus far, he has shown his age, both artistically and in gameplay. We already have shown off his new model publicly in the last open test as well as his new updated Visual Effects, but we aren't done yet!

We took in the feedback from the open weekend and decided on a path forward which includes reworking and modernizing a sizeable amount of his kit w...

Open Test Data and Changes

Happy Friday Patrons!

As promised, today's post will be going over all of the data we received over the open weekend as well as some of the changes we will be looking to make before the next open test. As always these changes may change before they hit the live servers, but we wanted to give you all a first hand look at what we are looking to change and test internally. Without further a do, lets get started!

The open test brought a lot of data to us internally for us to go throug...

Major Development Update

Hello Patreons, with our open test being only a few weeks in the past, we are looking towards the future by taking in the feedback and improving upon the game you all enjoyed. The feedback from you all was phenomenal; it was very clear you all liked the direction the game is headed, and  your positive reception ensured us that we are on the correct path with development, since we feel the same way about the game as many of you did. With this in mind, we plan on having more frequent tests...

Malaia VFX Update | Ethereal: Clash of Souls

Hey Patrons!

We're thrilled to showcase the changes that we've made to some of Malaia's VFX. These changes apply to her Q (Both On her Model, and the bleed applied to enemies), Basic Attacks (Trails and On-Hit VFX), her Passive, and her Ultimate!

Our goal was to create VFX that better represent Malaia's abilities while staying true to her themes, and we think we've achieved just that! Not only do her abilities look more stunning than ever before, but they're also more clear and ...
