Developer Tiny Trinket Games announced that the release of squad-based tactical RPG Zoria: Age of Shatteing has been delayed. Previously the developers planned to launch the game on September 19th. But, due to the congested September release schedule, it has been moved to October 5th.
“Titles such as Baldur’s Gate 3, Starfield, and Lies of P, to name just a few, release around the same period. While some of you have pointed it out as we announced our release date, we couldn’t put Zoria, an indie game, and other AAA production titles, in the same league (but thanks to those of you who did, we took it as a huge compliment!). Long story short, we feel that shifting our release date would give Zoria the attention and exposure it deserves.”
The extra time between the releases will give Zoria a chance to shine. Additionally, it will give developers a few extra days to polish the game further.
Other notable changes in the blog post include:
- Developers have made significant improvements to optimizing asset resource management, which results in a lower memory footprint at runtime, ensuring smoother gameplay;
- The game also received enhanced customization options, dynamic size and scale control of the human body and more;
- The team also implemented a wide array of styling features, such as various hairstyles, faces, makeup options, eyebrows, facial hair, etc., to ensure characters will come in a wide variety;
- New item models;
- The devs started creating new NPCs using the updated character creator system, bringing more life and diversity to the game;
- Some new areas and dungeons have also emerged from the shadows;
- Two more background music pieces, and Zoria’s soundtrack will be complete.
