- Emberbane – Launch Update & Next Steps - 25 February 2026
We owe you honesty.Emberbane did not launch in the state it should have. Some sections feel thin. Some content is incomplete. There are bugs and rough edges that should have been resolved before release. That responsibility is ours.We made the wrong call on when the game was ready to launch. We believed the core was strong - and it is - but the overall experience needed more time and more work. That decision is on us.Right now, our full focus is on fixing and strengthening the game:• Immediate hotfixes for critical bugs and collision issues• Filling empty combat sections and improving enemy placement• Completing missing content that should have been there at launch• UI polish and visual consistency fixes• Balance adjustments for early progressionWe are actively working on these improvements.Our priority is delivering visible progress first.

- A Hacker Attack to Our Servers - 27 January 2023
Hey there! We are deeply sorry to share these news, but our servers got attacked by hackers today. For a limited time, they have changed the store page of our game and changed the assets in it. But more importantly, they have changed the release date of our game to tomorrow. We have contacted Steam Support to fix it. In mean time, hackers also disbanded our Discord channel, so we have lost contact within our community and testers. Sadly, it will take some time to recover from that. Release date is this summer for Early Access as planned. No matter what you see on the store page right now, it is trivial. In mean time, you can join our new Discord channel to grow our community again. Sorry again for this mess, we are deeply sorry. Hopefully, it will not interrupt development of our game. We are going to release a Steam Demo, planned to be set on February 20. Our Discord Channel: https://d…
