Woohoo! It's my pleasure to announce v0.7 is out! This took a lot of work, and I'm sure there will be some huge patch notes in like a day or two to resolve all the crazy changes and possible issues. However, I think this one really pulled through and has greatly improved the game content. New Changes : · Palette swap for aquarium/seasons. · Hatman! Unlocked from completing the Cave quests. · Ta…
The big changes are done! All of the large features are finished! However, I have a little more to finish before I officially launch the "v0.7" update. The last month has been a rush, now it's just "extra content" and polishing that are left. If I can find time to sneak in an extra feature or two, perhaps I will. I still want to keep a tight deadline for this launch though. I also have to think…
Everything's coming together! Hatman is just about finished! I just need to add some sound effects and some "lore" as to make him fit more easily into the world. No spoilers yet, but I have found a good way to tie him into the story. I have drawn up some new furniture as well as some new shader effects. I have to account for some strange angles for fences/walls/gates that can cause some strange…
Howdy, Partner Lots of exciting things in the works. It will take a lot to get everything past the finish line. However, it's looking pretty positive so far. There have been a lot of changes and I don't know how stable everything is. That is why I am adding a new "unstable" build. If you want to see what is currently in the works, you can totally do so! Be warned though, it's mostly pretty brok…
Good morning+Good Evening, wherever, whenever you are! I have been very busy as of late and missed last weeks post! However, I have lots of big changes in the loop. I'm hoping that I can get everything in before the "v0.7" update. I may have to re-prioritize some work and focus on some other things. I may post-pone "More Festivals" and focus more on an in-depth Spring story + possibly focus mor…
Cool stuff coming up shortly! I have been brainstorming the best way to make fishing "scary". I will probably add a rotoscope later. For now I have come up with a new monster that is in the works. "The Hatman" inspired/suggested by discord member "Milkshake Marxist". He isn't in the game yet, but I want this dude to be a really freaky resident evil style "Stalker" character that exists at all t…
Working on some exciting stuff! Although this weeks update is short, I have a lot of exciting stuff coming up. There are some bugs I am trying to fit into the schedule. However, my main goal is getting the rest of the in-game year finished and playable. Upcoming changes ( not in the game yet!!! ) : · New Spring content (enemies, music, effects). · New Summer content (enemies, music, effects, he…
(Note: This is originally from June 27th. I attempted to update the categorization, and Steam suddenly changed it's published date to July 4th. So for the record, this is post is meant to come before the Update #4 post ) Okay, I know it's not a "Thursday" update... At least this one is an actual update though lol! I Just had to take a little extra time getting the fishing mechanic to a playable…
Really busy week! Some weeks are busying than others. Last week was one of those busy weeks. I still managed to squeeze in a little development time. I'm hoping things will slow down soon and I cram in a huge update for next week. In the upcoming update, the following has been added (Not in the current patch!) : · Fish! They move around and detect the bobber. · Fishing mini-game! · A giant fish…
Nothing major this week There are a few bug reports that have come in and I've been hard at work with fishing. I won't be able to post my changes this week but I can let you know what's in the works and what to expect: In the upcoming update, the following has been added (Not in the current patch!) : · Fishing Rod items (Wonky, wooden, copper, iron and gold). · Fishing rods now cast into water…
Lot's of polishing! Everyone has been very helpful in finding a lot of issues. I try my best to carefully fix all of the bugs you have mentioned! I am sure some things are destined to show their face again. However, I think the game is in a much better place. What's new: · New Ring Equipment Slot! Currently just equips the cookie necklaces hanging around the Farm. In the future this will be use…
Another day, another patch for ya Gangru has been hard at work to make sure all of the issues are resolved! Hopefully, nothing new comes up, and y'all can enjoy the game! What's new: · If the dog is following, he shows up on the sleep screen! Make sure not to disappoint the poor lad! · The player can defend himself from the Snow Demon using a crucifix. Bug fixes: · Agatha doesn't show up in the…
It feels like ages since my last post! Oh, 3 days or so? Yeah, still. Bug's never sleep, so I thought I'd do the same. I caught a lot of issues that you all have been very helpful in gathering. I tried to just run through as many as I humanly can finish. I am sure there will be some re-occurring issues or bugs that may need extra love and attention. However, this is a good start and lots of exc…
Howdy partner! Rangled up some bugs for y'all. Hope it'll suffice for now. I tried to clean up the "low hanging fruit". There are a couple notorious bugs that I still have to squash. I will try my best to get to those next. Bug fixes: · No longer get Krecik statue quest after unlocking Golgotha · Townfolk shouldn't randomly disappear during Beet Festival. · There was a bug where you could swap…
Good afternoon y'all! It's been a blast over on the discord and seeing how people play Besmirch. Lots of new discoveries. Some of those new discoveries are bugs, so I'll let you know what's fixed! Bug fixes: · Evil Player in Tutorial was getting stuck on table/etc. No more! He sometimes seems to move through things now. Which is odd, but much better than totally stuck. (This will need to be tes…
Hi! Thank you, everybody, for receiving "Besmirch" so greatly! The support is unbelievable, and we truly appreciate every message, review, comment, etc.! Here are some bug fixes that Gangrue just did: · Falling into the water death crash; · Multiple clicks on the upgrade button crash; · Scrolling through the hotbar crash (Beartrap crash, Table crafting crash all the same issue); · You can no lo…
Besmirch is out now! I'm excited to show you all what I have been working on over the past couple months! There are lots of wild new characters and plenty of content. I'll make sure to break everything down here so that you know what to expect when playing this beautifully strange concoction of a game. What to do in Besmirch Early Access: · Farm! · Get Scared! At least a little I hope! · Fully…

Before I jump in and say what we're cooking, I'd like to mention that you should expect a post with a detailed roadmap in th…
Hi! We've been silent for a second here; lots of things are in the works! Besmirch is transforming into its almost final form, and we couldn't be more excited! There have been no new updates to the demo. However, we are aware of the existing bugs and take all your suggestions very seriously! A couple of new exciting features that we've been working on these days: · Seasons! (check out some of t…

Changes: · Controller support is now more polished; · Trees drop acorns; · Said acorns can be turned into a tasty treat; · Holes in the ground now appear, hoe them for a surprise; · New fun snack - worms from the holes; · Added more achie…
STEAM NEXT FEST We're incredibly excited to be taking part in the February 2026 Next Fest ahead of our May 11th launch into Early Access! The demo has received many updates in the last ~3 months leading up to this event. Including (but not limited to) a refined narrative and goal, loads of new content, linking together of several mechanics, controller support, and general polish all along the w…
Quick one here Next Fest is coming up and I'm excited to share all the recent updates with you all. Changes: · Controller Support · Leaves fall from trees and make kickable piles! · Rats in the tunnels. Visual for now, maybe they'll eventually retaliate or summon a "giant rat that makes all of the rules?" · Armor System. Acts as a second rechargable health bar. · More NPC dialogues. Specificall…
More changes coming to Besmirch! As you can see, there's been a lot of motion here recently. New additions require frequent updates and this one focuses on depraved villagers! From their motion to sound effects associated with them, this update has it all. But it doesn't mean there won't be more! Also, mines had a substantial upgrade. Now you can dig ore, put torches down and explore the dreade…

The game is still 3 months away from Early Access - and your feedback at this time will be crucial in shaping the launch content of the game! Please, join the…
Besmirch is coming full circle! This update has finally closed the loop. Ever since this games advent, I've been planning on making a farming game with real consequences and incentives/decentives to your work as a farmer. Many farming games lack a core reason to ever plant and grow crops. For the longest time, Besmirch lacked a real incentive as well. Now however, there is starvation! Instead o…
How y'all doing? Been a while since my last post. I just wanted to make sure I had enough cool changes at once. I will definitely be ramping up changes and bug fixes before Next Fest. So stay tuned for a wild couple weeks. Changes: · New HP and Hunger bars. · Note Sorting. · Upgradable Houses. · Repairable town buildings. Currently just the bridge, more to come! · New cave minerals/ores. Also s…
Almost New Years! We all got sick around Christmas. When I checked back in with the game I couldn't believe how many bugs had been introduced lol. It took me a while to clean everything up. I mean the bugs, not the sickness... I'll make this update quick. Changes: · Scroll Bar on sleep page "profit pop-up". · Hoverable effect on deposit box. · Changes to letter text. · Cooking notes in cooking…
