- [Blosharper] v1.2.1 Update: New Voices and A New Look - 2 October 2026
Blosharper v1.2.1 Update Hello, Sharpers! The v1.2.1 update gives the cast new short voices and fixes issues found since v1.2. This update comes first below, followed by the v1.2 update notes as they were. v1.2.1 Update New short voices: every short voice has been replaced — the cast's quick exclamations and interjections, down to the groan a boss lets out as it falls. Each sound now comes in several versions, picked as you play. The All-in Bet paid out on banned-card hands: while facing a boss that bans cards with All-in active, playing a hand made only of banned cards added the All-in Bet to your winnings and left All-in in place, so it could repeat every hand. Such a hand now counts as a failed All-in. Long skill names breaking or shrinking: on the Skill Awakening cards, long names were split mid-word in Korean and spilled outside the card in Russian; names now wrap between words, an…

- [Blosharper] Early Access v1.1 Update: The Doors of Reward Open - 1 September 2026
Blosharper Early Access v1.1 Update Hello, Sharpers! With today's update, Blosharper steps up to v1.1. The tempering toward full release continues — and this step moves in two directions at once: honest prices at the table, and everything you have already lived through back where it belongs. Doors of Reward Beat the boss and the Doors of Reward open: bring a boss down and the doors open before the envelope. Behind them wait a Specialist, a Noble Envelope and Sleight of Hand, and you receive only what lies behind the doors you pick. The more Go you called that round, the more doors open — three or more Go opens two, seven or more opens three. That rule is now written above the doors as well, so even on a round where you never went Go you can see where the line sits. The face of the opponent you just beat hangs above them, and nothing is settled until you press confirm; until then you may…
- [Blosharper] Early Access v1.0 Beta: A Lower Bar to the Table - 31 July 2026
Blosharper Early Access v1.0 Beta Update Hello, Sharpers! With today's update, Blosharper enters its v1.0 beta — the final stretch on the road to release. This update has one direction: lowering the bar to the table. Newcomers learn each hand the moment they make it, the curious get to watch the game play itself, and long-time Sharpers get their hours back — on the record. And while this beta was being tempered, the table picked up a new sound — the people at it now have voices. The People at the Table Have Voices A breath on the speech bubble: as a character's line appears, a short sound of theirs now lands with it — a sigh, a laugh, a grunt. It is not a voice reading the lines; not a single word is spoken. Just a piece of breath laid over the text — and that one piece changes the air at the table. A first step: not every moment has its sound yet. This is the first batch, and we intend…
- [Blosharper] Early Access v0.9 Update Notes: New House Rules - 25 July 2026
Blosharper Early Access v0.9 Update Announcement Hello, Sharpers! The v0.9 update for Blosharper is an update devoted to the table itself. The back-alley bank changes its rules, seven new skills hit the table, one sleight-of-hand finds its own color, and your best records now open up to show what's behind them. We've corrected long-standing scoring errors, and re-read every one of the seven languages from the source text up. New House Rules — The Storage Fee The Age of Interest Is Over: The bank no longer pays interest on your deposits. Come to think of it, a back-alley bank was never going to offer deposit protection. Be grateful they keep it safe at all. The Storage Fee: Instead, every time a run begins, the bank skims a storage fee proportional to what you've entrusted to it. The old entry fee is replaced by this — the bigger your fortune, the bigger the cut the house demands. Down t…
- [Blosharper] Early Access v0.8 Update Notes: The Story Deepens - 18 July 2026
Blosharper Early Access v0.8 Update Announcement Hello, Sharpers! The v0.8 update for Blosharper is an update devoted to the story this game has been holding back. The late chapters of the journey have been greatly expanded with new encounters and events, and every story scene in the game has been rewritten from scratch — new stagecraft, new prose. Alongside it: revamped record screens, dice that finally move like dice, and an optimization pass that makes the whole game lighter. The Story Deepens — Late-Chapter Expansion New Encounters: In the late chapters that only deep-running Sharpers reach, a wave of new story scenes awaits. A familiar place may be where an unfamiliar bond begins. Events in Motion: Where that bond leads is something you should witness for yourself, hand after hand. Some moments may arrive before you are ready for them. We'll Say No More: The biggest piece of this u…
- [Blosharper] Early Access v0.7 Update Notes: Hwatu Deck Customization - 14 July 2026
Blosharper Early Access v0.7 Update Announcement Hello, Sharpers! We are excited to bring you the v0.7 update for Blosharper — one that changes how you build a run from the ground up. The centerpiece is Hwatu Deck Customization. Tune your deck toward the combinations you intend to chase, and that specialty's final multiplier climbs higher and higher as the rounds go deep. Alongside it come the Full and New Moon synergies, a brand-new boot sequence, and UI work that finally makes your growth numbers readable at a glance. Hwatu Deck Customization — Commit to a Strategy Four Decks: Equip one of the Standard Deck, the Gwang/Joker Deck, the Animal/Ribbon Deck, or the Month/Ddaeng Deck. Multipliers That Escalate: A customized deck amplifies your final multiplier in proportion to the round whenever you complete a combination in its specialty. The edge is slight early on, but the deeper you sur…

Japanese Localization for Combos: Polish…
