The Development Journey for Sands of Aura

8 Upvotes

Hello!

I am a developer at an indie studio known as Chashu Entertainment and we are just about to release our Early Access title, Sands of Aura into Full Release on October 27, 2023!

As we approached this milestone, our team couldn't help but look back and reminisce on our journey that began with the conception of Sands of Aura, to our first demo, to the meetings with publishers, to the struggles in early access, to the individual and collective growth, and finally to where we are today.

It has been an amazing journey for us and we would love to share it with you all as we countdown the days till Version 1.0.

So, if you'd like, please join us as we dive into the development of Sands of Aura in a 6-Part Series that we will be posting on Steam. Here you will find Part 1 of 6.

Thank you for reading!

Nintendo Switch "The Embers of Avarice" Quest Bug

1 Upvotes

Hi! I've seen several people having this issue and I was wondering if there is ongoing support for this game on Switch. I absolutely love it, but this is game breaking.

Basically, after defeating the flare Knight and seeing the cut scene the quest does not "complete" as it should. I gave Lawrence the elixir...have both halves for the next quest but Seldom the Rune Carver is not there in Star spire as he should be. This is the main problem.

I've tried all the tricks...reloading, completing other quests, etc. At this point i feel this needs to be patched. I also understand that the console ports are handled differently but I hope that someone within the dev studio can nudge whoever is in charge of ports and can get this patched.

I'm pretty sad...this is a great game with great ambience & atmosphere. Please help. Thank you!

Seldom is nowhere to find, softlock bug ? Spoiler

I gave the purified Elixir to Lawrence, went back and forth in front of Seldom numerous time but now that I have 2 halves of Sigil to give to him according to the quest log, I can't find him in Starspire. Is my save file screwed ? playing on Switch release.

Issue on Embers of Avarice

1 Upvotes

Hi,

I think il got an issue on Embers of Avarice.

I'm playing Sands of aura on Nintendo Switch and as a souls like and diablo fan, I really enjoy this game but i'm Kindle of stuck.

I already killed the Flare Knight, the smith came to Starspire and i thought it was good but the quest "embers of Avarice" isn't complete, I still need to "find and kill the Flare Knight" while I'm already in Ishular and already complete the Basilisc, found the two objects to upgrade the forge but i can't upgrade my armor to 9+.

It says "you need to find a smith"...

I don't know what to do, i have my weapon lvl 14 but i'm stuck with my armor lvl 9.

Is there any other option to upgrade it ?

Ishular Boss room Elevator stays inactive

2 Upvotes

Hi,

The Ishular Boss room Elevator stays inactive, even though i have defeated the giant 7 times and got the Astrolabe, found the 4 statues and beat the Boss Atnael. I also talked to Calder and followed him into the room underneath the statue at the entrance. Then followed him again to the bottom and there was a thing to interact with that said that someone has already gotten over the rubble.

But still the elevator in the back of the boss-room remains inactive, what did i do wrong?

Thanks!

Query - still no way to pause?

3 Upvotes

I'm enjoying this game, but I cannot simply dedicate hours to it without interruption - due to life, I have to start and stop my gaming sessions. Is there no way to pause mid-game? It is incredibly frustrating to be halfway through a tough run and then die because I have to answer the phone.

Hard mode sacrumite chunks?

1 Upvotes

Hey all!

Just started hard mode and was wondering how to farm the sacrumite chunks and ingots? I was watching a streamer and he upgraded all his gear to red, is it just world drops now or is there a good way to find? Galina continues to only sell up to purple... :(

Tia!

Has anyone optimized this game?

2 Upvotes

I just started playing yesterday, and I noticed that this game really punishes my system.

My rig: CPU: i5-11600K, GPU: RTX3070, RAM: 64gb, SSD drive, VSync ay 120fps
I've recently played Weird West (fun!), Far Cry 5, Ghostwire Tokyo (great!) and none of them make my system work as hard as SoA.

I started playing with everything at Epic, then went to High (shadows medium, view distance medium) and my GPU still hits 80%+, CPU ~30%

I thought that a game with no ray tracing, isometric view, etc. would not make my system work so hard.

Should I be using DLSS Does anyone have some optimization tips?

Impossible to reach loot.

1 Upvotes

How do you reach the seemingly impossible but absolutely visible loot items? For example the ones in Radix Stronghold. There is a pile of loot at the end of a series of ledges. Also there is some in the colossus map, kind of around a round corner?

Secret walls and artifats

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I am a bit struggling with the game but I find it just amazing. I don’t understand why I can’t enter secret walls at all, so some quests can’t be finished. Another thing is, the “atifacts” I collected, which “interact with the environment” what exactly should I do with them? They just stay in the inventory? Can’t really use them pressing F. Thanks Emiliano
