Apeiron FB Page

We’ve started a Facebook Page! It’s another place to enjoy some neat, cool, and fun Apeiron content. Since it’s relatively new, we would love to see you doods cheering for us under the comment section and giving us your doody like.

Apeiron Player Survey

Are you enjoying Apeiron? Great! Which part do you like the most and, what are some improvements you want to see? The community team is now conducting a player survey to collect opinions from all of you. We believe that the community is our most important asset, and we rely on your support, so taking the time to fill it out would be wonderful for us.

If you haven’t yet, fill out the survey here. Complete it by July 7th for 1000 Stardust and a chance at a Golden Apostle Ticket! Our community team will listen carefully, just like gods listening to the prayers of doods. The survey will continue until next Tuesday, so take your time and let your thoughts form into prayer bubbles.

Refining the Dungeon

This month we’ve already talked about the coming new PvE dungeon release, and our game design team is further refining the game mechanics. After ensuring the Cradle chef’s hot pot is working properly (so that he won’t be any more grumpy), the game design team will move on to develop the dungeon escape system and team Apostle replacement system in the coming month.

The dungeon escape system will enable you to exit the dungeon in the middle of a run without losing all of your rewards, even though some of the special rewards will still be lost. If you have encountered obstacles and have to retreat and prepare better, try using this function.

As for the team Apostle replacement system, it will allow you to replace members of your team Apostles, but with the cost of resetting the skill levels or experience of the replaced Apostle gained in the run. If your Apostle unfortunately died in the last battle and you’re facing some stronger enemies requiring a full healthy team, try out this feature!

Fine-Tuning Avatars

Preparing for the coming S3 beta release, our game team is testing and refining details, including PvE dungeon rewards, fixing the new replay mode, revising Avatar Boons design, and most anticipated of all - testing Fury skills!

Right now, only the Wisdom Avatars are available in our current release of the game, and other classes are automatically converted to Wisdom Avatars when playing in the game. However, we’re now polishing the Fury Avatars. Get ready to wield a gigantic sword and charge into the heat of battle!

Here’s a sneak peek of an Elemental Fire Fury skill:

What's Lore?

Have you ever wondered why the Cradle chef is always grumpy? Why are there bosses in the dungeon? Why are there doods, and why do you have to fight? Who am I, where am I, why are we here just to…Oops sorry, went too far into the abyss of existential crisis. But if you’re curious about these questions, you might find some of the answers in the storyline of our next release!

The storyline and mission system is now getting integrated into our coming S3 release, which is our first time having a complete storyline in the game! Just make sure you keep challenging the dungeon bosses, and you’ll unlock more story chapters.

New Season, New Skin!

For those who are playing our PvP battle demo, you might remember the tiny little soul-like character you’re controlling when in the Cradle. We call it the Spirit Core. For now, everyone is sharing the same Spirit Core design, but thanks to our artists, they have designed more than 10 new skins for our Spirit Core in preparation for the S3 release! Hopefully with their stylish appearance, they can better represent your unique soul.

That’s all for this month, doods! We’re getting closer and closer to the S3 release, and we are going to announce more news soon. We can also foresee the AGW tournament and the league is going to hype up our community. Stay tuned by following us on Twitter, and join our Discord! Lots of fellow doods are waiting for you there.

And as always, thanks for reading. See ya next time, godlings!
