Эллерия / Elleria [v.1.0 Rus / v.1.3.3 Eng] (2024) (Rus/Eng) [Ren'Py] [Android] [Linux] [M.C Games]

v1.3.3 Hotfix - 2025-04-23
Today’s patching spree is all about stability, bug-smashing, and putting an end to the renderer corruption The Blight has been spreading across your systems!

New: Graphics Mode Selector

On first launch (or after resetting Preferences), the game now asks which arcane rendering method you'd like to trust.

Your choices:

Auto – Let the Sanctum divine the best choice.
ANGLE – Blessed path for modern GPUs.
OpenGL 2 (GL2) – For older relics that still endure.
OpenGL (GL) – Ancient fallback—only if all else fails.

If you've encountered black screens, crashes, or strange artifacting, this selector might be your salvation.

Textbox Opacity Purification
Some players reported crashes when adjusting textbox opacity.
Turns out The Blight had its claws in the UI.
We’ve exorcised the issue. The setting now initializes properly and no longer causes chaos.

️ General Cleansing & Safety Rites

Removed lingering renderer code corrupted by the Old Code.

Ensured that all renderer choices are preserved safely. No more overwriting your sacred save files.

✅ This patch should:

Eliminate crashes caused by incompatible or cursed graphics renderers.
Resolve opacity-related exceptions haunting the Preferences screen.
Make startup smoother for all chosen warriors of Elleria.

IMPORTANT:
If you played a previous version, delete your persistent data and reinstall the game to fully purge any lingering corruption.

The Blight remembers. But now, so do we.

"The Blight spreads no more… for now."

v1.3.2 HotFix
Renderer fallback updated to use gl2 and a stable 60 FPS cap.
This improves compatibility for Steam Deck, Linux, and modern graphics cards.
No performance impact for players who weren’t affected.

v1.3.1 Wheel of Fate
Corrupted saves? Banished. Smited. Yeeted into the void.
Added a shiny new Chapters Selection feature to the main menu!
Want to relive the Prologue? Done. Jump into Chapter 3 like a maniac? Go for it. Skip the fluff and dive straight into the DLC? Absolutely.
No more "Help my save broke!"—just pick where you want to go, and off you go like a goddamn time-traveling paladin.
This is your story, your warpath, your schedule. No one tells Varael'dris when to swing.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
* Some players seem to be experiencing issues with crashes related to: TypeError: '<=' not supported between instances of 'NoneType' and 'float'
- If you're one of the players having this isssue, temporary fix is to forcibly set the renderer to gl2 and the frame rate to 60.
Why does it happen? The crash happens only when certain GPU drivers + Ren'Py’s gl3/ANGLE renderer + a specific transform or screen = boom.

Reworked sentences, fixed typos, corrected grammar, and improved overall structure.
Updates on Chapter 2.
Reworked sentences, fixed typos, corrected grammar, and improved structure.
Re-Post Processing of Chapters:
Intro, Prologue, Chapter I, II, III, up to the last chapter.
All renders have been re-post processed and enhanced. While this may slightly impact file size, it improves overall visuals.
ex: Some past scenes were too dark, now we've given the people of Elleria some candles! You'll notice the improvement.

Wheel of Fate (HUD Update):
The Wheel of Fate is now displayed on the HUD and can be clicked for updates on its state.
You can drag the pop-up box that appears around the screen.
Click it often! While the Wheel of Fate changes visually, not every change will be visually represented on the wheel, so keep an eye on it for subtle shifts.
Wheel of Fate DLC Content:
The Council Reforms
Demonic Negotiations
Rebuilding the Human Realms
Available with the first update of this DLC.
With over 50 million unique story permutations, each play‑through can turn out completely different. There’s practically endless replay value as every choice ripples across the world in its own way. And that, is just the beginning.
Blends Deep Strategy with Visual Novel Storytelling
Navigate political machinations and battlefield tactics, then dive into rich character-driven scenes—this DLC fuses grand strategy and classic VN beats into one seamless experience. And we're just getting started!
Changes to Silas on Feedback:
Silas content is now optional and can be skipped, as some players were bothered by having two characters to play. All Silas content is now skippable and the same will apply in future updates.
Silas was never meant to replace main character Eliot, but was created to give the player a deeper understanding of the world, lore, and certain actions taken by Eliot.
Silas content is now optional, but skipping it may result in missing important story details.
