- The Starfall Update is LIVE! - 11 June 2026
Hello everyone! We are thrilled to present a new update bringing a massive amount of changes to the game: from a complete AI overhaul and a brand-new interface to deep global systems like Amulets and Starshards... And of course, optimization! We have done a huge amount of work, and the game's performance has become significantly better on all systems.

- Demo’s Dropping Soon – Get Ready! - 29 January 2025
Last year was insane. We sat down, crunched on the game, fixed bugs, reworked mechanics, broke the balance, fixed the balance, then broke it again. Turns out, game dev isn’t just “write code, code works”—it’s “write code, code gains sentience, breaks three other systems, and then deletes itself.” But somehow, we made it through. And you know what? This game actually slaps. 24 weapons. Yeah. Twenty-four. Daggers, swords, rocket launchers, SMGs, sniper rifles, hammers, miniguns—if it can shoot, stab, or bonk something into next week, we probably made it. Every single one has its own special power, which is either really cool or an absolute balancing nightmare (send prayers to the devs). 35 abilities. You ever wanted to throw a lightning bolt at a guy, freeze his friend, and then summon a ghost archer to finish the job? Congrats, now you can. And that’s just scratching the surface. Some of…

- First Look at the Misty Forest's Guardian and More - 12 December 2023
Greetings, warriors! In this edition of our devblog, we're excited to share with you the latest and greatest from our development journey. From brainstorming sessions to final implementations, every step has been a thrilling adventure, and we can't wait to give you a glimpse into our world. The Guardian of the Misty Forest: Our First Boss So there we were, brainstorming, and suddenly it hit us: what's more "evil forest" than a giant, ominous tree? Sure, it might seem a bit classic, but hey, classics are classics for a reason, right? We thought, let's give this old idea a new twist. And boom, our first boss was no longer just a tree, it became the embodiment of the forest's dark side. Trents: Mini Menaces We wanted some quirky sidekicks for our boss so the Trents were born. They're like little siblings who are cute but can cause a whole lot of chaos. Huldra: The Mystic Forest Diva Huldra…
