Combat has been rebuilt from scratch. Five styles that play like five different games, a Practice Arena to learn them in, and opponents that learned to defend by watching real players. This may be the biggest single update we have had. TL;DR · Combat is completely new.

vAlpha.33 - Brand new VP / Armorer / Crafting Interface
The right panel has been completely revamped! First, you will notice a completely new nav-bar on the top to help you get to your "play", "help", "info", "settings" and "exit". Second, you will notice the round and season banner have been modified. Now reading them both should feel cleaner - and next to it we added your action menu - where you can clearly see your current action state. Third, yo…

Alpha.32 - HP/Energy Bar + Glaser Hallmark
Hi everyone! I noticed manual combat was broken - I went ahead and fixed that. Along with the fix, I have created a HP and Energy bar that shows up on the top-left of the screen. This will eventually replace the one in the right panel, but for now is simply a duplicate view of it. I have also created a UI for the Glaser Peace Embassy hallmark. Thanks for being patient guys - I may restart makin…
Hi everyone, It’s been a while since the last patch, and I wanted to take a moment to share where things stand and where I’m hoping to go next. Over the past few weeks, I’ve spent a lot of time trying to optimize the backend, especially around memory usage. After many tests and investigations, here’s what I’ve found: 1. Backend limitations – I originally built the game in Python using Kivy, whi…

Hey everyone! We're really excited to roll out the next batch of changes. Full transparency: this update includes a feature that’s still a bit experimental.

Hey everyone! This update focuses primarily on improving the user interface. 🔹 New Icon Style We’ve redesigned the in-game iconography to feature a cleaner, more minimalistic art style with thick lines. Our old pixel art icons—while nostalgic—often lacked clarity, so we made this change to improve readability during gameplay. Don’t worry though: we’re keeping the pixel art for items, character…
v Alpha.26 - Improve Hallmark Interactions Part 2 (Demetry + Enfeir)
Interacting with the Grand Bank (Demetry) and Reaquisition Guild (Enfeir) will now hopefully be more intuitive. We have also increased the reward for doing quests from the reaquisition guild (from Enfeir) and the hunters guild (from Tutalu) by roughly 1.5x - I believe it is roughly more fair for the effort you put it. I am sure things could still use adjustsments and fine-tuning- so please let…

I am going to start improving the way the player interacts with the hallmarks. I have started with Anafola and Benfriege.

This update gomes with two new additions: 1. Community Garden - Each city now has a community garden where you can plant crops, grow them, and harvest them later. Be mindful though, the community garden is shared- so the things you plant may not be there when you come back to collect them! Part of this update is the addition of a new item, "vegetables". Eating them will reduce your run-away fat…

This update might sound simple, but it was quite complex on the backend for me—getting the Steam overlay to work. You should now be able to press Shift+Tab and see the overlay, just like most other games on Steam. Please note, this currently only works on 64-bit Windows machines. Additionally, I’ve added a single test achievement, “First Payment,” to see if achievements are functioning correctl…

This update focuses primarily on backend changes related to how movement is handled. My hope is that it will address many of the issues you’ve been experiencing. For example, previously, clicking multiple tiles in quick succession could crash the game. This was especially common when players clicked on the Ruins and quickly clicked away before completing the movement. With the new update, the "…
