Community3 Aug 2026EA3.0.0b is now on the test branchHi, dungeon-crawling fans! The latest patch EA3.0.0b is now on the test branch.

As mentioned in th…
Hi, dungeon-crawling fans! It's been some time, and I would like to give you this quick update on what to expect in the next content patch. I have been developing Beta 3 for a while now, and if you have been part of the closed beta, you may remember the third region of the game as the lava-filled Land of Godon. Since then, I have adjusted, separated, and complemented parts of the map, so the fi…

Anyway, if you would like to try the new patch out right away, you can do so by *…
Hi, dungeon-crawling fans! As you have probably already noticed the patch announced for January will be a little late.

Hi! Someone pointed out to me that their static containers were corrupted. When I looked into the issue, I realized this bug only appeared if you loaded a save state from a previous version and saved/overwrote it. It would only affect static containers that had items in the lower half of their inventory space. I fixed the bug and it shouldn't be happening anymore. Player inventories were unaffe…
