Patch 2.7.1 — Goddess Duel, the Bard's Studio and a big QoL pass

16 Oct 2026Developer post

NEW CASINO GAME: Goddess Duel

Odin of the North and Zeus of Olympus face off across a brand-new tumble slot. Pick your goddess before you spin.

6×5 tumble slot with scatter pays: 8+ matching symbols anywhere on the grid win. Winning symbols burst, new ones drop in, and a single spin can chain into multiple wins.
Multiplier orbs stack at the end of every tumble chain and multiply your win.
Free Spins: 4+ scatters trigger 15 free spins. During the bonus every orb also feeds a persistent total multiplier, and 3 scatters retrigger +5 spins.
Choose a side: Zeus — lightning orbs, rare but massive (up to ×500 in free spins). High volatility. Odin — rune orbs that land more often but stay smaller (up to ×100). Her raven can re-spin a column on a dead spin. Balanced. Both sides have the same RTP. Only the feel changes.
The Duel: in free spins the goddesses clash every spin. If yours wins, you get +1 free spin (max +5 per bonus).
Max bet: at the top bet the goddesses go all in, with bolder poses and a soft glow.
At the table: autoplay (10/25/50/100), turbo, ante bet (+25% stake, double scatter chance), bonus buy, and demo chips so you can learn it without touching your gold.
RTP is roughly 89% on both sides, and the odds are on the Rules screen. Max win is ×5000.
Full game only. Works in wide and vertical windows, in all 12 languages.

A small music studio where you write your own tavern tunes.

Three instruments: piano, folk harp and recorder, each on its own track with volume and mute.
Piano roll: click to place a note, drag to lengthen it, click again to remove it. Space plays and stops, and Ctrl+Z undoes.
Songs up to 3:00 with tempo, 3/4 or 4/4, and a scale lock (D Dorian, G Mixolydian and more) so every note fits the realm.
Example tunes to learn from: Greensleeves, Ode to Joy and Scarborough Fair, all public domain.
Save, export and share: keep songs in My Songs, export any of them as MP3, or copy a share code so a friend can play and edit your song in their Studio.
The Studio now has its own tab in the Arcade menu, and a tile in the "More" screen in vertical mode.

5 slots for your own music: Studio songs or audio files from your PC (MP3, OGG, WAV, M4A, FLAC, up to 40 MB). Your tracks show in their own colour and can be removed any time.
What plays: Mixed, Only my music, or Only the game's music. It's the same setting in the player and in Settings.
Opening the Studio pauses the game music and respects your volume.

New main menu: darker and calmer, with elegant black buttons, a new fiery Sarah, and her words drifting across the screen.
Loading screen: Sarah greets you between the menu and the game with one of 20 tips. Click or press any key to skip.
End-of-run scenes: holding the line or pulling out of a dungeon plays a short scene before the results.
New Sarah portrait in the loading screen and "Tell me something".
Bone Chimera has a brand-new look.
Wide screens: a slow ember drift fills the empty side margins.
The Refine button has a new look.

Casino menu: Goddess Duel and Tarot Reading now have their own tabs.
"One more" button in the chest window opens another chest of the same kind.
Quick theme button in the top bar (wide window) cycles colour themes.
3·2·1 countdown is back as an option in Settings. It's off by default.
Runes: the removal cost is shown right next to the "Remove Rune" button and turns red if you can't afford it, with a new tooltip.
Duel cards: descriptions now fit when you enlarge a card.
Visual modes (Cinematic and others): the skill bar always sits above the HP bar.
New saves start with the "Compact" bag size.

Every dungeon is a bit tougher (+5% enemy HP and attack). Drowned Sanctum through Hall of the Gods get another +5% on top.
Entry fees (Normal tier): Ruins of Ash 720 · Drowned Sanctum 2,380 · Frozen Depths 5,000 · Verdant Ruin 10,000 · Oblivion Caves 20,000 · Cursed Cathedral 45,000 · Storm Spire 95,000 · Shadow Depths 150,000 · The Abyss 250,000 · Hall of the Gods 500,000.
Gold sinks: rune removal ×3, rune socketing ×2, Refine gold cost ×2.

Tier lock text now says what's really needed: finish the full 90-second run on the previous tier. It wrongly said 60s before, and the Guide is fixed too.
The death screen's "equipped gear at risk" section and the +1/+5/+25 stat buttons display correctly again.
The death screen no longer closes when you click outside it.
Stat button numbers are centred again.

Thanks for playing! See you at the tables, and in the Studio.
