• Hot Fix Update (Q126HF3) - 14 April 2026

  Hot Fix Update (Q126HF3)Bug FixesUpon playtesting after the Spring update (Q126), I found and fixed a few bugs:Enemy AI Navigation: (FIXED) I finally figured out why the enemy AI could not move on the procedural terrain and I have put in a fix to allow them to be able to move in the overworld (Be Safe!)Main Menu: (FIXED) There was a scenario where you could not start a new game in the Demo.Stamina Management: Stamina is now more balanced.

• The Jig Is Up! - 12 July 2025

  The Jig Is Up! I wanted to officially announce that we will be attending a convention and will be showing off the game in an early demo. What does this mean for you? A FREE EARLY DEMO WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR EVERYONE ON AUGUST 9TH! We are super excited to not only show off the game at the convention but for everyone to see the kind of procedural world we are building. This demo is small since it needed to be done before our due date but we will ensure that the game's foundation has hit all the correct marks. We want good feedback so that we can make the foundation as perfect as it can be before going into full development time. We are so thankful for every one of our supporters and players. We cannot wait to give you a taste of what we have been working so hard for. Thank you. - Gavin
