- Update Fixes: - 26 August 2026
Update Fixes:Fixed issues where pets did not regenerate health while mounted and where pet status effects did not refresh properly. (Note: Before the fix, while mounted, pets would not refresh status effects, but upon dismounting, all effects would be applied at once. If this refresh caused the pet's health to drop below 0, the pet would die instantly upon dismount. This has now been fixed.)Optimized hollow mesh issues on some characters caused by clothing masks.
- Update Fixes: - 9 August 2026
Update Fixes:Optimized the lighting flickering issue. (In previous versions, the player's light sources were limited to 50. I originally believed that when the count exceeded 50, the game editor would perform a fallback calculation and smoothly shut off lights elsewhere—but that was not the case. The editor actually shut them off using a strange logic, which caused flickering when the light count exceeded 50. This was my misjudgment. This update primarily adds frustum culling and distance culling for lights, and increases the light limit to 100. Now even if the count exceeds 100, the transition remains smooth and flicker-free.)
- Update Fixes: - 5 August 2026
Update Fixes:Adjusted pet behavior so that after leveling up, its satiety is automatically refilled to maximum.Added a cap to the satiety depletion rate (previously it was calculated based on max health; now it is capped to prevent satiety from dropping too fast when creatures have very high health). Some players reported that creatures would suddenly lose a large amount of health after dismounting, leading to death. Upon investigation, this was related to satiety, and a fallback fix has been implemented.

- Update Optimizations: - 19 July 2026
Update Optimizations:The experience from wild monsters killed by status effects is now awarded to the ally unit that dealt the most damage to it (i.e., the monster's current target unit).Added a forced descent safety code for airborne units to prevent them from floating in the air after death.Note: Recently, due to the launch of the new version, some patch fixes are being updated frequently.

- Island Notes Major Version Update Announcement - 15 July 2026
Island Notes Major Version Update AnnouncementHello, everyone!Island Notes has received a brand-new content update! This is a major update that modifies and expands many parts of the game. The full details are listed below.1. The Archipelago Map Is Now AvailablePlease note: The new map is not connected to the old map. Existing save files can still be used to play on the old map, but you will need to create a new save file to experience the new map.The Archipelago is a large map made up of multiple islands. Compared with the old map, the Archipelago introduces more than a dozen new creatures, including two even more powerful world bosses.These two bosses were designed as late-game challenges for players who have raised and trained their pets. They are extremely powerful, so defeating them alone without the help of pets is not very realistic. However, players can also obtain their eggs, h…
