- New: Mac and Linux Builds Now Available - 7 August 2026
Mac and Linux builds now available!That's right, I have made builds of the game available for those OSes now. I did some testing, but if people could confirm that it is working on their systems if they have a Linux / Mac, please let me know!
- Egg Fix - Minor Update - v1.1.6 - 3 August 2026
The game no longer contains any EGGBURT.Thank you for your co-operation.We will be distributing 1,500 Bones to each player as a thank you gift for your patience in this matter.
- Auto Door - Minor Update - v1.1.5 - 3 August 2026
Smoothed a few spiced things out:Doors will now automatically open and close as you walk up to themIncludes Castle Gates too, and any future door-likesCan still manually open and close them tooThere is an interesting quark (particle) where you are able to leave doors open as you pass by them. If you hold the opposite direction of how you are walking past it while by the door, relying on momentum to move you past, it will leave the door open. Fun little tech like this is awesome - might confuse some players, but adds more depth.Was going to make auto-door toggleable, but the situations where you would want it off are far and few between - and already pretty gamey / against the game's spirit.1 New PaintingSpeggy no longer lets out the screams of the darned in multiplayer & functions properly.Adjusted text to look nicer & not cut text off screen when picking relics in multiplayer.When buyi…
- Operation Bug Smite - Minor Update - v1.1.4 - 27 July 2026
Fixed a few large bugs, like wasps and caterpillars;Fixed a bug where some controller players would not have their aiming reticle appear correctly.As a consequence of this, all players can now see all other player's aiming reticles.Also, each aiming reticle is now dyed to player slot slightly, so people can distinguish which one each player has.Fixed a bug where multiple curses would get applied to a player sometimes during Cursed Relics.
- Scenario Skill - Minor Update - v1.1.3 - 24 July 2026
Updated the game, mainly around the Cursed Relics.Cursed Relics now only give 1 downside for your starting relic.Relic Downside "Deletes ~6-7 Random Game Files" can now only trigger once per overall save.Relic Downside "Deal Less Damage" is now is now 24%, from 25% (baby steps here, folks).Relic Downside "Cannot Deal Status Damage, -50% Resistance" now gives only -20% Resistance.Relic Downside "Speggy Bounces Around Your Screen" makes Speggy slightly smaller, slower, and less annoying.All of this is, curiously, the exact opposite of the patch changes for the real life Speggy.Fixed "None" text appearing in the blessing list when taking a relic downside before a blessing.Added in 1 New Painting, "Spew Forth!"(my coding comments always make it seem like my house has a gas leak)
- New: Cloud Saves in Bonelords! - 22 July 2026
Added cloud saves to the game! The people took the poll, and here were the results:ːsteamthumbsupːNow, if you had loaded the game on multiple devices, you will want to play next on the device you want to keep the saves of. You can also go into the game files in AppDataLow/Z0 Game Studios/Bonelords if you want to manually copy players.Additionally, you can turn off cloud saves in steam in the game settings before loading the game, if you wish to opt out.If you want to take place in additional polls, please subscribe to the main channel! I will post youtube polls on the occasions. (also, hopefully this doesn't nuke anyone's saves, I did my best to test!)
- Sample Coat - Minor Update - v1.1.2 - 12 June 2026
Small adjustment today:The new CRT-type graphics are now the default. Go into settings to turn them on and off.Fixed some issues with tooltips in singleplayer. May still be some issues in multiplayer.
- CRT, New Palette, and Dithering - Midsized Update - v1.1.1 - 8 June 2026
We are so back.Hello there, everyone. I am somewhat back from my big break. Rather, I did the usual where I give up on the game for a few months, then get inspired and start working again. Not the first time I have "parked" development on the game, and won't be the last either.This update is a banger! We got a huge visual upgrade today. Take a peek:The images are better when clicked on, since there is a ton of little effects!Basically, there is a new set of shaders for the game. I got inspired by two things; player feedback and Vampire Crawlers. I was playing Vampire Crawlers earlier this month, and I was like, "Wow, this game looks awesome, I love the color palette and the dithering (patterns of color to mimic / blend new colors). I wish that I could make games that look good!".I also remember people talking about adding a "VHS" or "CRT" effect like in the ad. So, I set off on a course…
- Cursed Relics - Major Update - v1.1.0 - 29 April 2026

- New Banner Art! - 1 April 2026
Oh yeah, that's right, new banner art for BONELORDS!Yeah, this may be April 1st, but this new banner and library art is NO LAUGHING MATTER.I've been working with an artist on it, and it is now ready to slot in!You can see depicted the Myrmidon with a Super Burning Death Sword (which, I plan on adding now, I wanted the fire there just because it would be awesome). You can see a fully armored Vallimaster, along with incoming Mintspears and other skeletons. The whole of Lower Electro is going up in a blaze!The Logo looks rad too. The L tree and how the whole things looks really clue you into the game. For the logo, there may be an edit or two, mainly just to add a gradient. All white is a little to modern for me - if you've seen the game's text before, you know I like gradients *Old man laugh*aha-haha.Shout out to Fim and their team, they're the capsule artists who made this art, as well a…
- Bonelords Devlog #7 - More Unlockables, New Mode Incoming - 26 March 2026
Bonelords Devlog #7New Unlockables & Other New InfoHello again. In case you have not seen the recent updates, let me catch you up. Several bugs have been fixed, such as the dreaded bug where doors could not be closed randomly. New Relics have been added, 3 so far, as unlockable items. More will come soon!Other balance changes have happened too, but not a whole lot recently. Overall, most people find different things overpowered, which is good; means it is mostly balanced, and players feel strong! Also, some things should naturally be better and some things naturally worse - what's the fun if everything just feels the same? Embrace uncertainty!I have also been cooking up more new relics / items / unlockables for the game. Most of them I am pretty hyped with, because they can fill holes with the game as far as "I need something to do with this" or other easy lay-ups. Not much related to b…
- Smooth Orbs, Cubes, and Other Connical Shapes - Minor Update - v1.0.55 - 25 March 2026
Bugfixes and some balance changes. And tooltips to let the average player know what the different types of runs are! (also there is some code for the next update in here already).Added cool little tooltips to let players know what all of the different run options are and what changes it!The Type B wave "Oops Catastrophic Explosions" is now ~10% shorter, and has a boosted power-up drop rate.The Type B wave "A Thousand Cuts" is now ~6% longer.Reduced the amount of structure damage that The Amantacoumpass's stomp does by ~15%.Marrow Flasks now heal slightly less (~3% less) overall, and also now have a tiny amount of flat healing bonus that doesn't scale with total HP.Fixed a bug where Mintflash thrown projectiles would just stay in place forever when the player dies.Fixed the dreaded bug where doors would not be closable randomly. Turns out, the large concrete tiles / base of the fort was…

- Meat Man Ate My Liver - Minor Update - v1.0.53 - 20 March 2026
I did EVEN MORE WORK TODAY let's gooooo. This is what happens when I stay home from my real job. Expect more relic unlockables in the future, they are fairly easy to add and give more options (although, to be honest, the players need more variety on the other side, there is already a ton of playerside variety).New Relic - Meat Cube+400 HP, +170 Resistance, Marrow Flasks Barely Heal Anything.Must be Unlocked by beating the game with "The Floor is Lava".Added all the infrastructure to have relic unlockables.When unlocked, is simply added to the standard relic pool.Added trail rings to the pop-up when you unlock something.Fixed a bug where the "Iron Fist" relic's Defense would not display properly.Fixed a bug where enemies would not take damage from the player's projectiles while the player is dead.

- Legacy Chronicler - Midsized Update - v1.0.51 - 10 March 2026
Hello everyone!New update today; did some editing magic, and there is now a cutscene that explains Legacies to the player (feat. Speggy the cat)! This will help overstimulate players when finishing their first run, enticing them to play more! It also gives more info.This, with the recent pop-ups that come up when unlocking something, help to drive players further into the game!I also made my cat a gambling machine. More details in the monthly devlog.

You can now buy the soundtrack!Ello everyone! I have added an extra way to support the game, via buying the soundtrack! It's $4.99 (price may go down later), and is now on discount! It contains all of my music; so not just Bonelords, but other music from Slime Dice and other unreleased tracks!

Someone re-uploading it to YouTube would also be nice.See ya later!

Bonelords - Devlog #6 - Shadows of a Fallen AgeWrite intro to devlog here - do some kind of fun intro - also don't refer to your playerbase as your "chudlings", even though you think it's really really funny.Soundtrack ReleaseThe game's soundtrack is set to release later this month! It contains all the music from Bonelords, all of it! You also get all the music from Slime Dice, and some other unreleased tracks. They all fit together, all made by me, so might as well give all of them!It'll be like $5. Feel free to use the music in projects or youtube videos or whatever. It's mainly a way to support the game more - that's how most people buy soundtracks on steam. I had to buy another game's soundtrack to even test it and see how other people set theirs up, haha.New UnlockablesI am slowly adding new unlockables to the game. It seems there is a sizable group of people who play a single run…
