- Minor hotfix - 26 September 2025
Fixed text on play button for creative map.
- Hotfix: pause menu - 9 August 2025
While updating things to allow players to rebind inputs and use controllers a variable was accidently set to false that should have been set to true which was causing the unpause menu to loop endlessly. This has been fixed. Some of the stuff for the new colony mode is visible with this patch. It's not yet playable and I wasn't quite ready to announce that mode, but I wanted to get this patch out now, rather than spend time hiding it all before uploading the patch.
- A few more buildables added. - 9 August 2025
Small patch to test out the new setup for adding buildables to the game. Added 5 new buildables.
- A tiny bit of incremental magic added. - 7 August 2025
Just a quick patch to smooth out things for new players and to fix some quest prompts. Some minor UI changes that are part of the larger polish pass that is being done on the UI. One of the next few updates will see more improvements to the look, feel, and functionality of the UI.A heartfelt thank you goes out to everyone who has been so wonderful in offering feedback, thanks to that I have some new ideas I can't wait to put into the game.

- Delayed 1.0, locked out of submitting new builds. - 2 August 2025
I had to reset the phone that had Steam on it, which also reset Steam Guard which caused a 72-hour lock out of setting any new builds live across all my organizations for 72 hours. I've opened a ticket with support, but that can take hours or days to get a response. So, it might be a bit before the update gets pushed.

- 🌟🎉 Dragon Sprouts is about to leave Early Access! 🐉💫 - 15 July 2025
After months of cozy chaos, dragon-raising, and so many updates…🌟🎉 Dragon Sprouts is about to leave Early Access! 🐉💫 What started as a solo dev passion project (built in just 90 days!) has grown into a magical little world thanks to your support and feedback.When: Soon. I don't have an exact date, but it could be anytime now. I have just a few more things to finish up.I wanted to give a heads up that saves will break in this next release. There's a lot of changes and there was no way to preserve saves with this one. That's part of the reason there's been a bit of a delay between updates. With breaking things, I want to get as much in there as I can before the update. I won't be able to get everything I'd like to in, but I'm going to work every moment I can to get as much as possible done.There will still be more updates and content coming, but the game is far enough along that I don…

- Daily Patch: Minor update. Some minor silliness hiding - 2 July 2025
Just a few small updates today. I needed to take a small break so only worked half of my normal day. These notes included changes from the hotfix published earlier today. I'm going to try and reduce patches to no more than once a day from here on out.new animation added to project, not yet used in gameRemoved unused nodes from Player Controllerreduce spawn rate of clutterRegions now spawn clutter with a slight random variation so that in theory, they will each spawn at slightly different intervals. This is to reduce the amount happening in any given tickChange clutter trace logic to count blocked tiles towards total tick spawn limit (i.e. if 4 could spawn and 3 traces return blocked, and one does not, only one clutter will spawn and traces will terminate) this reduces the overall rate that corruption spawns in a region as the number of player build areas increase and/or the number of cl…
