Hey everyone!

It's finally here! The wait is over! Numina Part II is now available and I couldn't be more excited to share it with you all. Since the release of Part I last July, I've been working hard to make this huge milestone a reality. It's been a long time coming, but I'm thrilled to finally be able to show you what I've been working on all this time!

Hello everyone,

this update is a special one as I just released the biggest update to Numina yet! Version 1.14 brings many improvements & new features which I like to get into below! Also stick around for updates on Numina Part II further down.

New Relationship Gameplay Mechanics
Improving relationships to Shawn and other party members previously mostly affected the story. Each character had a battle skill that scaled with the relationship level, but apart from that there wasn't much interaction.

This changes with the added relationship mechanics in 1.14! Each character gets a specific sets of special abilities that unlock once you progress their relationship level. These can be seen in the status screen for each member:



These abilities can increase the max TP amount, reduce costs of certain techniques or even grant TP bonus when a loved one takes damage in battle! The goal was to deepen the impact of the relationship system on the actual gameplay.

As you can see not every level unlocks a new ability. But each character have their own unique set of them!

General Rebalance Pass
This is another big update. I've went through the entirety of Part I and rebalanced the battle system. Party members with Arc have more of an edge now as he can do more damage and gain TP more efficiently. Apart from that I've also adjusted some battles to be more challenging, or less frustrating.

Another big addition was a new rule for TP generation, whereas you gain at least 1 TP each round. If you already played Numina, you know that TP are accumulated during battle by doing & receiving damage or guarding and can be used for elemental techniques. This means that as long as you're not K.O. you'll be guaranteed to get 1 TP per round.

Previously some characters like Arc or Sarah had difficulties in some parts of the game actually putting damage through tougher enemies, so their only option was to defend to gain TP.

I will keep monitoring these adjustments, so any feedback is greatly appreciated and will help me for future adjustments to make the game more fun!

Translation Improvements
While replaying Part I it was also important for me to rework the English translation of the game. I have to admit that the quality of the translation wasn't up to my personal standards mostly caused by the time constraints of hitting the release date of Part I.

But now I've updated a huge chunk of the main story dialogue. Not just to be more grammatically sound, but also to hopefully be more natural and less jarring in places.

More Options!
I added a bunch of minor new options, the biggest one (in my book

Hello everyone,

Numina Part 1 just launched!!!
Anxiety was on red alert that some major bug or similar might come up or similar but that's (fingers crossed

Hello everyone,

Exciting news: Friday next week the trailer for Numina will drop! Along with a small teaser a few days before that. So set your alarms to Friday, April 8th! ⏰ You'll find it on Numina's YouTube channel!

Another big announcement: Numina will get an additional Part 2 release! During the betatests I felt like I had to cut down a bit too much on the content around the last chapter of the game. So I decided to take some more time and delve deeper into the parts that were initially scrapped to release the game earlier.

The trailer next week will showcase Part 1 of Numina and also ✨ reveal the release date for it! ✨ Which will be pretty soon, promise

Happy Holidays everyone! It's the festive season and I wanted to leave all of you a little present in form of an announcement for next year as well: The full version of Numina will release in 2020.

This means chapter 1 "Noesis", chapter 2 "Elpis" (formerly called "Hoffnung", German for "Hope") and chapter 3 "Gnosis" will release simultaneously as a full game. This doesn't mean that the release will be pushed back: The goal is to release the game around Q2 2020 with beta-testing starting early next year.



As you already know from the last demo, "Noesis" introduces the characters and the story's themes. "Elpis" will focus on the bonds between the characters and some of the secrets and mysteries brought up in the first chapter. Finally, "Gnosis" will be a tumultuous resolution to the storyline, incorporating many decisions made by the player along the way.

I decided against an episodic release for various reasons, one of the simplest are the technical challenges that come with managing a split-release with RPG Maker MV. It would have meant to invest time into ensuring that the chapters smoothly integrate on Steam, itch.io and so on, instead of spending that time on the game itself.

Progress-wise I've finished working on chapter 2 and I'm currently finishing up the final scenes of the last chapter. My goal is to start with testing in January, while also starting to work on the english translation. There's also loads of other things for me to take care of such as preparing the Steam-release, doing promotional work and also keep you lovelies in the loop :)

I can't say it enough, but I'm very grateful for the loyal following I've gathered. It's a huge dream of mine to create games and especially with Numina, it's been almost a decade of my life. So I hope it'll result in something special for everyone involved.

Thank you all again! See you in the next year, I'm sure it's gonna be an exciting one.
