OEA 0.7.0 on Patreon

There is a new build available to supporters on Patreon and SubscribeStar. I'll put the release notes below, but I'm mainly posting about it so that it's clear the project is still undergoing work.


OEA 0.7.0

- A brand new scene drawn by Crescentia! It is automatically unlocked for anyone who has reached the gallery, but naturally occurs in the early game during the first visit to Wilhelm's Tale.

- In addition, a new variant scene previously not accessible has been added.

- A new quest has been added to Hoodton. This one is available over the entire game, as it unlocks the above scene.

- Another quest has been added, but only to very early Hoodton. This offers small advantages but is mostly there for flavor and additional content.

- New option in menu: fast combat animations.

- Further boosts to the story mode items.

- Additional bonus added for story mode users in Hoodton.

- More enemies respawn in the ice palace, in case players feel they need to level while inside.

- Minor bugfixes and cosmetic improvements.


As you can see, this is more of a content update than the previous bugfixing and balance releases. In addition to the new quests, there's brand new scene art from Crescentia (as well as some previously finished but unreleased art). This is planned to be my last content update for OEA, barring brand new ideas for sidequests. So once everything is polished up, the game will leave Early Access and that will be another completed game on the books!

  1. Reminds me, I never found that 'White figure' outside the house.

    1. It should show up in every town, but check screenshots with other players if there's some uncertainty.

  2. Will we have OEA 2 ? Wonder where is Ingrid and her other self going at the end and what happen to her ~

    1. That's an open question, I'm afraid. While OEA turned a profit pretty quickly, OEA2 would cost a lot more. Quite aside from the expansion in scope, Crescentia's art has more than doubled in price since I commissioned the first game! In any case, I'm committed to putting out the final polish/changes before I do anything else.

      I do have lots of ideas for the concept, both the characters' future lives and for the setting. If you'd like to see them one day, please review the game if you haven't already!

  3. I'm stuck. I'm told to meet back up with Fenris, but the game mentions nothing of where to meet him at. Can't seem to find him anywhere.:(

    1. I'm not sure which part you're playing, but you likely need to meet with him back at Hood's house.
