Wheel of Fate - It's a wrap

Hey everyone,

It’s been a while—longer than I planned, and for that, I apologize. Life has a strange way of throwing up walls just when you think you're past the hardest part. The wrap-up for Elleria: Wheel of Fate took more time than I wanted it to, but it’s finally here.

Originally, I had bigger plans for this DLC. There were scenes, sequences, even a few side branches I wanted to include… but the window I had set aside for production simply ran out. Some things had to be cut, reworked, or left behind. That said, I still think Wheel of Fate turned out to be a solid expansion to Elleria’s lore. We introduced new characters, deepened the world, and gave players some weighty choices that will carry over into what comes next.

On a more honest note—Elleria has more or less hit its ceiling in terms of sales. It hasn’t done terribly, but it hasn’t justified further large-scale production in the way I’d hoped. And while not everything should be about money, the unfortunate truth is: it’s a necessary evil when it comes to keeping a project alive.

At one point, I was genuinely considering scrapping everything moving forward and letting the story end here.

But I changed my mind.

Where this started with I, there is now we. We’re trying to push through the chaos, we’re still here—and we’re still on top of it. Elleria will continue.

That said, Sands of Time (the next DLC) will be more fast-paced, more condensed, and yes—some content will need to be trimmed. The same will apply to Book 2. Due to the financial flop of the game overall, we’ll be cutting back on certain aspects—but we’ll still do our best to make it worth your time.

I won’t pretend Elleria is perfect—it’s rough around the edges in places, and I’m very aware of that. But I’m still proud of it. Writing this story has been a wild ride, and honestly? A fun one. I don’t have a firm date for Book 2 yet, but Sands of Time should be arriving—hopefully—before Christmas.

After that, we’ll be shifting focus back to Valenza Family. If you want to know more about that project, check out our website:
