Hey all - Tom here!
If you haven't already guessed from the title, ROVA is out now! I'm beyond excited and definitely quite nervous to share the news!
Before diving in, I wanted to thank you for your patience whilst we fixed some last minute bugs. This was a much bigger task than any of us expected, but we can safely say the game is in a good place now <3
So what's new in this update? Afterall, this is the Early Access release, not just another demo update!
I'm not going to spoil everything (this is a game about discovery and exploration), but here's what you can expect:
Around 3-4 hours of questline content
Improved dialogue system (with new UI)
ROVA customisaton - That's right.. you can pick your colours!
Saving / Loading
Improvements on just about everything else
Overall there's far more to do than there was in the demo. The characters have more character. Systems feel more complete. Secrets (which will remain secret) are hidden.
I'd like to remind you that this is an Early Access release. All future content updates will be free, so expect the game to grow significantly beyond this intial release.
Alongside launch we have made the tough decision to remove ROVA's demo, at least for now.
The demo uses the old quest and dialogue systems and features many of the bugs we have since fixed in the full version of ROVA.
We may release a new demo in the future.

This is ROVA's first release Update, I hope you enjoy it!
Although we've done our best to polish everything, I imagine there will be few bugs somewhere.
If you do have any feedback, the best place to share it is in the Steam community forums.
As always, community feedback has played a really important role in ROVA's development. Your support means the world to us🪐
Feel free to share your in-game photos with any of our socials - We'd love to see what you discover!
