Happy New Year, witches!
We hope you’ve had a peaceful beginning to 2025, and we hope you’ve been keeping warm and cozy this winter. ❄️
We’re back at our desks and feeling refreshed and ready to work hard on REKA! We can’t wait for what this year has to come. To kick things off, we have news on the next patch!
The next patch is coming Thursday 16th January
Next week we’ll be releasing our new patch to the Beta branch, and we’d love for you to test it and let us know if everything works well for you! This is totally optional though, and if you’d rather continue playing as normal until we update the main branch then that’s more than okay.
Before updating your game, we’d like to mention something important:
Your save files will be affected by the new patch.
• Once the patch is downloaded, the map you are currently on will reset when you load a save file (this includes the tutorial)
• This means any unfinished quest lines will need to be restarted
• House builds won't be affected.
Before you download the new patch:
• Completing any quests you’d like to finish.
• Once you’ve done this, move to a new map
• Save and close your game
• Download the new patch 🧡
• (But to confirm, opting into the Beta branch is optional - so if you don't want to have your save file affected then you can stay on the main branch)
Sorry for this inconvenience! When investigating the bugs you had reported, we found a much bigger optimisation issue that needed fixing. We've since made lots of progress on this, and going forward all future patches will be much more simpler and won't affect your save files.
What's included in this patch?
This new patch includes lots of bug fixes and optimisation improvements, with a focus on fixing the Witching Hour issues. We’ll release the patch notes soon, but here’s a little look at what’s coming next week!
• Fixed Candle Maker behaving oddly, swallowing items, or not working at all
• Fixed a bug where players could add more than 1 item to bludnik shrine
• Fixed the loot you receive from bludnik shrine only being fly agaric mushroom after a while
• Fixed Raven Coat and other wearables vanishing (it should reappear if you have completed the quest)
• Fixed a variety of saving bugs
• and many more!
Thank you for all your help with finding these bugs. Your feedback has been amazing and we feel so lucky to have such a supportive community.
Talk soon!
