  Thank you for your continued feedback and support!🛒 New ContentTreasure rooms reworked: chests are now opened with a click.

• What's It Like to Tame Beasts in the World of the Classic of Mountains and Sea - 12 October 2026

  Today we'd like to show you a new system in Taiyi Saga: beast taming.1. First you need a pot… no, a Léi The card you need for taming never drops from battles and isn't sold in shops. You have to find it in a "?" room on the lower floors. With some luck, you'll come across a Fallen Great Bird. One wing is snapped and it lies sprawled among the rocks, yet its tongue is as sharp as ever: "Hmph... a mere ant, and it dares stand before This King?" Beneath its talon sits a cracked, ancient Léi, a bronze vessel once used to tame beasts. By the bird's account, it can take one master more and hold one beast more, and no other. Meet the bird's terms and the Tame Beast card is yours. 2. How Tame Beast works Tame Beast is a 1-cost Attack. Once played, it's removed for the rest of the battle. The card reads: > Deal 8 damage. If this would fell a non-human enemy, subdue it instead. In other words, yo…

• [Update Notes v0.5.5] - 10 October 2026

  We said v0.5.4 would be the last version before Next Fest… and then we found a few serious bugs. So much for that — here's one more. (ouch) Here's what's new:🔧 Bug Fixes- Fixed the game crashing when a trap was triggered after the monster that placed it had died- Fixed Dexterity and Temporary Dexterity being counted more than once in the Block shown on block cards; cards enchanted with block-granting souls such as Mech Core: Armor also popped two numbers when played- Fixed Drunk Splash and Drunken Eight showing only the front two columns on their card diagram and requiring you to stand in the front row: both cards always hit all enemies, so they are now ranged all-enemy attacks, and the diagram and target highlights match what actually happens- Fixed High Horse Pat granting Temporary Dexterity every time it was played: its keyword is now Opening instead of First Strike, so the Temporar…

• [Update Notes v0.5.4] - 8 October 2026

  This is the demo's final update before Next Fest. Here's what's new:🔧 Bug Fixes- Fixed the "Purge Sect Disciples" event never appearing because of a broken prerequisite. After you side with the Demon Sect and win, it now shows up in later runs in ? rooms on floors 17–29 (at most once per run); beating it once unlocks the challenge against the Qingyun Senior Brother- Fixed enemies playing their death animation before the killing hit's effect landed on multi-hit attacks- Fixed units drifting further and further away and not returning to their spot after repeated Knockback🛒 New Content- New attack presentation: every attack now follows a "wind-up → impact → knockback" rhythm. Damage numbers, screen shake, and hit flashes appear at the moment of impact, and knocked-back units move first, then show their numbers- Dedicated Martial Artist attack effects: · Qishang Fist: fist shockwaves for…

• [Update Notes v0.5.3] - 5 October 2026

  We did say v0.5.0 would be the last demo version… but every time we get excited and add something new, we somehow knock something old loose — so here we are, patching again. And again. 😮‍💨Thank you for your continued feedback and support! Here's what's new:🔧 Bug Fixes- Fixed Armor, Poison, Burn, Rejuvenate, and Plague being wrongly cleared by cards (Armor could previously be wiped every turn)🛒 New Content- New keyword "Combust": when exiled, the card automatically resolves its effects and returns to your discard pile (instead of the void), so it can be reshuffled in and exiled again- Reworked "Wooden Hawk" summons: they now hover as a flock, with new entrance, dive, volley, and return-to-formation animations🃏 Card Updates- The "Salvage" keyword is renamed to "Sacrifice"- The card "Momentum Strike" is renamed to "Scrap Strike"📖 System Improvements- Added a shell fly-in animation to…

• [Update Notes v0.5.1] - 1 October 2026

  Hello everyone,A problem that can leave players completely stuck turned up after v0.5.0, so here is an extra Demo update.

Thank you to everyone who followed the Demo through all these updates. Here's what's new:🛒 New ContentTalents reworked into the "Eye of Taiyi" Star Chart: the old talent tree is replaced by the Star Chart, now the single path of character growth. Spend Stardust to light nodes and unlock cards, signature relics, general talents, spirit roots, elemental calls, bloodlines, and supportFor existing saves: because the two systems are structured differently, previously unlocked talents are reset on first launch and all Stardust you had earned is refunded in full, free to reallocate on the Star Chart.
