Back on the shores of Never Mourn, we also recently released a new update that debuted a new location - Morn Jaero, a former fishing village - now ablaze against a beautifully bleak, black sand shoreline. Find out more about the village, and other locations you may yet to discover, in our new Steam post. May you…

- Developer update: Morn Jaero - 28 April 2025
Greetings, Necromancers… We hope you’ve all been enjoying your time with Never Mourn since the March update went live; please do continue to provide your feedback (and your Steam reviews!) as we get ever closer to version 1.0. Today, we wanted to draw your attention beyond the great veil, towards some of the environments in Never Mourn that you can explore and overcome… Once a hardworking fishing village set among a beautifully bleak, black sanded shoreline, Morn Jaero is now ferociously ablaze. Constructed close to the ruins of a great aqueduct and a once formidable fortress that’s long since sat hollow and haunted by the tortured souls of the past, Morn Jaero was home to the most resilient of people. Despite scratching a living with their fishing and algae cultivation, they too were targeted by the raids that tore the region asunder. These attacks ended in a bloody and nightmarish mas…
- Hotfix 0.9.4.b - 14 March 2025
Fixed the new casting system getting stuck in certain conditions. Fixed some UI elements not being layout properly.
- Never Mourn - Developer Update - 14 March 2025
Greetings Necromancers, It’s been a few months since our last DevBlog so we want to give you an update on what’s been going on with Never Mourn and Primal Seed. Firstly let’s delve into Never Mourn. What’s been going on the last few months? - We’ve been working behind the scenes on a number of aspects within the game. Reworking the early user experience We want the new players to quickly go into action so we ensured that the learning curve is not as steep as it used to be. You should have clearer explanations, less reading and more fighting during your first steps in Never Mourn. Focusing on game play We want to make sure the learning curve of the game, beyond the first experience, is challenging but not off putting. So we’ve been doing a lot of balancing work. We will keep fine tuning those little by little and making subtle improvements here and there. Our goal is that every play thro…
- Patch Notes - 0.9.3 - 14 March 2025
Hello, here is the patchnote for the new build, keep in mind that this is a general patch note since reporting on several months of work would take great lenght: Added a new level : The Coast. The full run of the game is now 4 levels long, with increasing number of room in each. Reworked the animation system of characters to remove some glitches that happened when transitioning between animations. Added a new aiming system for spells that required a target, allowing to more precisely cast those spells. Holding the key allows you to aim better. Integrated a large part of the new UI, with more to come soon. Reworked the early progression during a run : The first levels are shorter and easier. Tweaked enemy monster scaling : They start a little tankier than before and dealing less damage but scale up to previous values the further you go, giving more strategic opportunities during a fight.…
- PATCH 0.9.2 - 28 October 2024
Hello! For this patch we focused mainly on performances and fixing bugs. We are currently preparing a very exciting feature that takes some time to develop and we wanted to make the gameplay smoother while we are preparing that update. Here is a list of what has changed with this patch: -Heavily improved performances getting worst during a run. -Fixed some instances of effects or spells dealing damage based on percentage of life being affected by damage multipliers, scaling their damage beyond the intended value (i.e. Draining Seeds) -Room Rewards that cannot be obtained because the condition to obtain them are met or impossible, such as Control bonus while you are already at max control now gives Memory shard instead of giving a useless reward. -Gameplay sounds is now turned off on certain menu during gameplay, preventing annoying loops in the background. -Fixed a localisation issue on…
- Patch 0.9.1 - 17 September 2024
Here is the list of what's this patch has changed: Feature: Difficulty -Opened up the "Hard" and "Very Hard" difficulty for those of you who like a tougher challenge. They are available at level 10 and 20 respectively, and grant more experience. We don't garantee they are balanced or fair yet. QoL: -Improved the readability and clarity of the map menu. -Improved the readability of what monster you are currently targetting. -Improved the readability of which dead monsters you can rez, based on available control slots and range. -Improved the AI of all monsters. They should now less ping-pong between target and focus more on doing damage. -Clarified in Monster Control rewards what the maximum is. We will improve on this so getting this reward when you already have maximum control will give you something else instead. Bugfixes: -Fixed monsters being stuck in Shrines / Portals -Tweaked defa…

- Hotfix #7 - 8 July 2024
This hotfix is adressing the broad issue of optimization in performance in general, and more specifically in the late game, where the action becomes intense and many monsters make actions, the player has gotten many enchantements and effects and there's many monsters at once. Like always, in case you find bugs, have suggestions or feedback, please join our Discord : discord.gg/WGa8RBPqfA Technical: -Increased graphics performances of monsters. -Reduced the CPU overhead of dead monsters. -Fixed an issue that would prevent a spell from casting if the animation played too fast comparatively to the framerate of the game. -Fixed monster slain on game over screen not being shown -Heavily optimized the application of effects such as enchants and talents, reducing the lag-spikes when a monster spawns or dies. -Reduced the CPU usage spikes occuring when many monsters change state at once, such a…

Your support means everything to us and we are doing our best to make this game as cool as it can be! The time has come for us to talk about the roadmap for Never Mourn!

- HOTFIX #4 - 29 May 2024
Fixed many issues on French's localisation, spefically during the tutorial. Added clear indicators of what monsters to interact with during the tutorial. Potentially fixed an issue that cause end-of-room not to register properly and leave monsters in a undesired state on the floor.
- Hotfix 0.6.C - 25 May 2024
Hello everyone! Here is the content of the new hotfix: - Completing Level 3 now brings you back to Level 1 : Making runs now endless instead of forcing a game over. - Fixed an issue with Irea's basic attack that would cause it to miss enemies that were really close. Improved visibility of Irea's attack VFX - Improved general performances in level 2 and 3. This should ease the CPU/GPU load and improve overall performances. - Fixed an occurence on global effects that would degrade performances during a run. - Fixed an issue that would cause a small lag spike everytime a monster or you played an animation. - Fixed a few causes leading to the end of room not to trigger properly, requiring you to raise a specific monster. It might not have been the only cause and we are keeping an eye to find and reproduce possible other causes. - Automatically setup VSync in menus to reduce GPU and CPU load…
