SHADOWS OF BEGINNINGS PLAYTEST UPDATE v0.0.9.5

On Steam

Build version: v0.0.9.5
Updated: September 19, 2026
Test scope: Warrior only

ADDED

• Loading screens are now paced according to actual measured load time. Previously, the progress bar could advance at a misleading rate because it relied on a flat estimate.

• The title screen now displays the current build version and includes four updated link buttons: Feedback Survey, Discord, Report a Bug, and Known Issues.

FIXED

• The pause-menu Quit button is now bound directly in code, correcting the path where selecting Quit could silently fail to exit the game.

• Repeatedly pressing the interact or tool key during harvesting no longer restarts the swing animation from the beginning. Harvesting actions should now be able to complete normally.

TESTING REQUESTED

Please help us verify the following in v0.0.9.5:

• Confirm the title screen displays v0.0.9.5.

• Confirm the Feedback Survey, Discord, Report a Bug, and Known Issues buttons open the correct destinations.

• Start a New Game and confirm the loading bar advances appropriately during both fast and slow loads.

• Open the pause menu, select Quit, and confirm the game exits.

• Repeatedly press the interact or tool key while harvesting and confirm the swing can still complete.

KNOWN LIMITATIONS

The harvesting correction is separate from the unexplained gameplay freeze currently tracked as KI-61. That freeze remains under investigation.

Gameplay logs are not currently written to disk in the packaged Shipping build, and crash reporting remains unverified. If you encounter a problem, please provide clear reproduction steps, timing information, screenshots, or video when possible.
