Between Adventures IDLE - Act 5 & Early Access Outlook

Hey everyone!

First of all, we want to thank you all for supporting our game throughout Early Access. We want to make posts like this to give you an outlook on what's ahead, make plans with the community, and develop the game's content together with our players as Early Access continues.

We sent 5 bug fix and balance patches by far.

Our main focus right now is balancing the existing systems and improving the mid-game experience. The early game is already in a better place following recent updates, and we want to keep that momentum going as you progress further.

What has changed so far?

Recent patches have brought several additions:

• Act 5 is now available.
• You can now run three activities at the same time.
• Combat Auto-Loot helps keep your adventures moving.
• We've introduced the enemy tag system and started adding Act Bosses, alongside new boss encounters.
• Quality of Life improvements include inventory multi-select, bulk actions, and the ability to equip potions directly from the relevant skill screens.

These updates are part of our ongoing work to make everyday actions smoother and give you more to discover as your hero grows.

What are we working on?

• Skill progression: We're updating Skill XP curves to make early leveling a little faster and smoother, while continuing to refine progression beyond the opening hours.
• Items and builds: We're developing the item property and suffix systems further. More suffixes are coming to expand your options when putting together a build.
• Enemy and boss variety: We're adding more enemy variations and continuing to expand the Act Boss system.
• Ongoing balance: Combat, loot, crafting, enchanting, the economy, and overall progression are all receiving adjustments.
• More Quality of Life features: We'll keep improving the actions and screens you use throughout your adventures.
• New Acts: Act 5 is another step forward, with more Acts planned as Early Access continues.

With the early game improving, our attention is shifting more heavily toward mid-game progression, enemy and boss variety, more varied item builds, and new Acts.

A larger update is on the way

We're also working on a larger update, currently targeting October 8.

The content is still taking shape, so we don't want to promise specific features just yet. October 8 is our current target, and we'll share more details as the update comes together.

Help us shape what comes next

We'd love to hear how your adventures are going. Where does progression start to slow down? Which builds have you enjoyed? What would make the mid-game more rewarding for you?

Share your thoughts in the comments or Steam discussions. Your feedback helps us decide where to focus and how to develop the game alongside the community.

Thank you again for playing, reporting issues, and being part of Early Access! Don't forget to leave us a review.

See you between adventures!
