Hey everyone!
Tier 2 of our Social Media Challenge has just been achieved! The bizarre NPC will have a quest for you; what will it be? What story he has for you? We're already excited for you to play it!
Today we also want to shoutout Circus of Mhodryak: Immersive Escape Game by Key Enigma!
Key Enigma is an Escape box that mixes puzzles, narrative, and technology to immerse you in a challenging experience so carefully designed that it may be impossible for you to distinguish reality from fiction.
A box full of mysteries will come to your hands. With materials, codes, and clues hidden inside, you will have to use your wits and combine the objects to solve the mystery of this terrifying circus.
This new story takes place in parallel to the main story. You will be part of a scientific organization that investigates and contains paranormal phenomena or creatures like the one in this game.
This story's universe is inspired by worlds such as Lovecraft, The SCP Foundation, and The X-Files. This expansion is for you if you like horror and dark science fiction.
Dev Diary #6 - Religion

Hey everyone!
Zoria lore is huge! Today we want to focus on the topic of religion, which, of course, is present in the game's world.
We believe it will be interesting to talk more about this; religion is important to us as people, therefore why not dig into this a little bit? There are three main churches:
1.The Church of Torath, also known as The Church Zoria’s Light
Generally, Monotheistic, with smaller figures involved in the mythos, established religion within Elion and extended with varying influence into most of the Uram continent.
Gods:
- Torath - God of Light, believed to carry the sun on his back across the sky and responsible for bringing light, heat, and general well-being to the citizen of Zoria.
- Torhuz – God-like figure, brother of Torath and polar opposite. Believed to dwell in the depths of the night and fight an eternal battle with Torath for control of the skies.
With the dual-moon specific of Zoria, two eclipses are happening, one incomplete and one that completely covers the sun, believed to be instances of a great war between the two brothers and bad omens for the people.
The stars are believed to be spirits sent by Torath to light the night sky and prevent Torhuz from bringing eternal darkness to the world.
2.The Church of the 9 Gods
Polytheistic, widespread throughout the Uram continent. Based on ancient humanoid gods said to inhabit Vrukmanar, the volcanic landmass east of Uram.
Gods:
Athys - Goddess of Light, governor and chief of all gods (patron saint of Priests and Battle Clerics)
Dhases - God of Prosperity (patron saint of Bards, Merchants, and Traders)
Garom- God of War and Fire(patron saint of Mercenaries Battle Clerics and Lancers)
Amaldir - God of Earth and Nature, Husband of Mei-Devi(patron saint of Rangers, Farmers, Commoners, and Hunters)
Niala - Goddess of Magic and Dance (patron saint of Wizards and Mages < Difference between the two would be that Wizard is MALE only name for the magic practitioner, while Sorceress is the FEMALE equivalent. Mage is Neutral; both males and females can use this term to identify themselves as magic practitioners.
Thedara - Goddess of Protection and Constructions, daughter of Athys and Chaos (patron saint of Sentinels and Kingsmen)
Mei-Devi - Goddess of Patience, the Waters and the Night, sister of Han-Jhora (patron saint of Thiefs and Sailors)
Mira - Goddess of Passion and Love (patron saint of Bard)
Han-Jhora - God of the Dead and Ruler of the Underworld, brother of Mei-Devi (patron saint of Necromancers)
3.The Temple of Karne - Animist religion is based on the belief that all living creatures and even inanimate objects are inhabited by the spirit of Zoria, a spirit that is responsible for all the magic within the world.
Which church would you join? Subjectively, The Temple of Karne speaks to us very loudly!
Until the next time!

Social Media challenge update and Shoutout to Ascent of Ashes!
about 2 years ago
– Sat, Oct 08, 2022 at 04:10:15 PM
Hey everyone!
We are proud of you, adventurers! We did it! Tier one of our Social Media challenge has been achieved <3
The bizarre NPC will be implemented in Zoria, but there are still two more tiers to be unlocked! We have to know the full story behind this strange character and what kind of quest he has for us. We can't stop now, oh no! Continue to spread the word about the challenge, retweet the trailer pinned to our Twitter profile, and let's see this quest!
Today, we also want to shout out Ascent of Ashes - a post-apocalyptic PC Colony Sim focusing on tactics, challenge, and exploration.
Stranded on an alien world filled with strange and exotic lifeforms, you will recruit, train, and lead the downtrodden survivors of a cataclysmic conflict. You will explore futuristic ruins on the search for advanced artefacts and life-saving supplies. You'll face not only other bands of survivors, but stress, disease, the remnants of a space-faring civilization run amok, and even the environment itself in a struggle to uncover the truth about the end of the world as you knew it.
The survivors of Ascent of Ashes are not merely faceless pawns, however. They each possess their own strengths and weaknesses, goals, ambitions, fears and hatreds. In leading your group, you will be faced with difficult decisions: Will you allow a skilled doctor to join, knowing he needs to take care of his sick sister? Take in an experienced hunter despite his obsession with revenge against a powerful bandit lord? Trust a military defector not to betray you at the worst moment?
The game looks very promising and unique, and it happens that Ascent of Ashes has its own Kickstarter campaign, which ends in six days - we encourage you to check out it and support the project!
Until the next time!

Hey everyone!
Recently we have taken part in an interview with RPG Watch - one of the biggest RPG forums! Thank you for inviting us! It was a blast to participate in it, and we're happy about the interest in Zoria: Age of Shattering!
The conversation has touched on multiple topics, starting with Zoria, through the story of our studio, cooperation with Anshar Publishing, and ending with the Kickstarter campaign we launched in September.
