- Final Demo Update Before Full Game Release! - 26 July 2026
Demo update v0.5 has just been released! This is the final demo update before Copperfell's full release, which will be coming out later this year. Hopefully, I'll be able to give you an exact release date soon. While finishing off the main game's content, I've added a bunch of the new features to the demo too. The more playtesting, the better! You will also see more greyed out content in the game UI, in preparation for the full release. As you may have noticed, I've changed the Steam art assets to newer, nicer ones as well.These are the biggest features included in this update:Loot TabYou will now find a loot info tab when clicking on the trophy icon button in the bottom right of the screen. This tab contains a list of all major mobs in the game, and also all unique loot that each mob can drop. You'll be able to track how many of each type of mob you've killed, and your current drop rat…
- Demo Update: Improved Graphics (DLSS5) and Skill Recipe Panel - 25 April 2026
The Copperfell Demo has been updated to v0.4! Here's what's changed.DLSS5I have been working on improving the visuals for Copperfell. I made 5 main custom shaders, all part of a master graphics system I'm naming "Dynamic Lowkey Sussy Shading 5™" (DLSS5). Here are the 5 main components of this system, showcased with a before and after so you can see the differences more easily.Color CorrectionEach realm now has a slight color tint to make it more defined. The surface realm has a warmer hue now. I also upped the exposure and modified the shadows and highlights. Finally, I also added a vignette-like effect where areas closer to the edge of the screen are less vibrant than the middle portion.Ambient OcclusionI made a fake-ambient-occlusion-like shader so that most world objects and buildings have a darker tint near the boittom, while their colors get brighter near the top. This makes them p…

- First Bug Fix Update! - 15 October 2025
First of all, thanks for the lovely reception to the Copperfell Demo so far! It's been nice seeing you play the game.I plan to keep updating the demo with more fixes and improvements as they come up. But there was a particular major bug that I had to fix ASAP, which is why I just released this quick patch - officially v0.1.1!The bug could potentially cause some data to fail to save, so you'd end up losing it when loading the game again. It mostly affected not-very-useful data such as the position of some NPCs or the depleted status of some resources. However, in rare cases and under some unlucky circumstances, it could also affect items in your inventory, so you could end up losing some of your items.I only got one single report of item loss so far, which turned out to be really helpful when finding the cause of this bug, so I also want to thank everyone for all the feedback I've receiv…
