Hey everyone!
As we’re sailing toward the new year, we’re lucky enough to be a part of another great event — PC Gaming Show: Most Wanted. And showing up empty-handed? We figured we could do better than that.
We’ve prepared a brief video update showcasing recent progress, featuring:
A greatsword — a heavy two-handed cleaver with far more impact and crowd control potential. We’re excited to see the builds you’ll create around it.
A blunderbuss — sometimes getting close & loud is the fastest path to survival, especially when a greatsword isn’t quick enough to turn the tide.
A new enemy type: the grenadier — you didn’t think danger wouldn’t evolve, did you? More firepower in your hands means more explosive threats in your way — sometimes literally.
Interface improvements, including an updated map — cleaner visuals, richer detail, and a look more fitting for explorers. Place markers, chart routes, and plan like adventurers who leave no shore uncharted.
And as the holiday season approaches, we want to wish you fair winds and following seas. It may be early to sum up the year, but for us it has been demanding and rewarding in equal measure. We launched Windrose publicly, held our first Steam Playtest, and, most importantly, reworked the project in a new direction — one that required difficult decisions, patience, and time to rebuild. Throughout this journey, we shared updates, stories and progress with you, and none of it would have been possible without your support and attention.
No one knows what 2026 will bring, and we’re no exception. We can’t promise that everything will be easy, flawless, or predictable, but we can promise that we will keep working, keep improving, and keep pushing even when the wind is against us. We’ll move forward with care and persistence, one step at a time, and your presence alongside us means more than you know.
Take care, and may the warmth of the holidays lift your dreams and lead them to shine like gold.
Always yours,
Windrose Crew
