@Jakest_JakeYT Thank you so much, that means a lot! I am a solo developer from Germany. The alpha demo on Steam already has music and sound, and I am still treaking the sound for the battles. Sound would be a good topic for one of the next devlogs, thanks for the idea!

[Runecraft_Studios @RunecraftStudio]

Devlog: This week I made it snow in NOSTRA, straight from my own engine. I also show three new bosses for the full game and a first look at a world boss. What do you want to see next? #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #rpg

[Runecraft_Studios @RunecraftStudio]

@gudnunes Thank you! It does not only fall. In winter the whole map is covered in snow. A devlog about how the snow works is a good idea, I will keep it in mind.

[Runecraft_Studios @RunecraftStudio]

Winter in my game uses the same map and the same objects as summer. The snow comes from the render engine. What should I explain next? #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #RPGMakerMZ

NOSTRA Mini: Nilo's Treasure is out today. Reff, a tomcat who calls himself his manager, and a golden mouse somewhere in the dunes. Right in your browser.

Something not so big is back. Nilo disagrees. NOSTRA Mini 2: Nilo's Treasure is out today. Play it in your browser at https://t.co/LbM28YM7v4 #pixelart #indiegame #gamedev

The water in my game mirrors the trees and the characters next to it. What should I explain next? #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #RPGMakerMZ

[Runecraft_Studios @RunecraftStudio]

The trees in my game are flat pictures, but they still move in the wind. What should I explain next? #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #RPGMakerMZ

NOSTRA is coming to Linux through Proton via Windows, but only when it can hold a steady 60 FPS on Steam Deck. That performance target has my attention.

@RunecraftStudio @Steam @OnDeck
Would you wait for 60 FPS?

@MERCHBACK You will get the chance to enhance your deck by winning cards from your enemies. But this does not happen mid-match 😊 great idea though .. 🤔

[Runecraft_Studios @RunecraftStudio]

Brask, the card game of NOSTRA 🃏
Name your stake, win your opponent's card and build your own decks from 110 cards. Brask is coming to NOSTRA, recorded in the game.

Alpha demo on Steam now:

@bonkstudio_ Sure go ahead !

If you're a JRPG fan, check out @RunecraftStudio's Nostra. I tend to avoid RPGMaker games these days (I enjoy them, they're just so big and so many!) but this one's worth the look. Well-presented & well-written, I really took a shine to the aged and weary-but-friendly NPCs.

@CSH_Picone 🙏🙏😍 appreciate your post and support! Thank you so much

@RunecraftStudio Nostra is only in Alpha at the moment but it already looks and plays great. There's a demo you can check out, otherwise wishlist it here:

@silic2023 Good question! Right now the clock pauses during battles and cutscenes and keeps running while you explore. I am still thinking about letting it run in longer battles, so you could see the day change during a big fight. That is not decided yet.

[Runecraft_Studios @RunecraftStudio]

Same game. Same place. New engine.

NOSTRA before and after the NeoEngine update: own render engine, living weather, reflections, new skills, homestead building and a card game inside the game.
