Hey everyone!
I figure it's about time to share the direction I see for Echoes of Vasteria moving forward.
🗺️ Roadmap
March 2026
Major Update: Gill and Barkley will receive minigames similar in scope to Forge and Cauldron.
June 2026
Major Update: Flora and Tillman will receive a farming‑focused minigame (details still TBD).
❓ Why the long gaps?
With the holidays coming up and the offspring due in January, I’ll be taking a little time off. A ~3‑month window also gives me a proper testing period to make sure content is ready.
I’m also juggling multiple projects, and EoV alone isn’t covering the bills right now—so spacing out updates keeps things sustainable.
🪵 Barkley
Barkley will spend his time carving sticks and logs into fishing poles. He plans to use additional leather you bring him to create waders and wrappings, and bones to carve into hooks.
🎣 Gill
Gill will continue spending his days fishing—but now you can help him.
You'll be able to:
Watch his level grow
Choose which rod he uses
Pick between feathers and hooks to target specific fish types (including rare ones)
I also plan to rework how buff slots unlock. I'm currently considering adding 1–2 new slots, unlocked through Gill’s fishing level.
🌱 Flora & Tillman
The twins’ minigame is still early in concept, but here’s what’s set in stone:
It will be farming‑related.
The Alter Echo system will tie into their design—potentially letting you strengthen resource income, but with selective slots instead of passive production from every resource.
🧩 Wrapping Up
These changes should neatly tidy up the remaining unused resources, and I’m excited to bring my own little take on fishing to an idle game.
I've also started streaming again! You can find me at
every day for about 3 hours. Check the schedule, swing by, and say hi!
Thanks for sticking with me. More updates soon!
