Version 0.2: Major Update & Improvements
Dear players! We are excited to share a comprehensive report on our progress throughout January and
February. Following the initial playtest, our team focused on stability, visuals, balance, and quality of life —
here is what has changed.
Critical Bug Fixes
We have eliminated a number of serious issues that hindered a smooth gameplay experience:
● Fixed a critical bug causing the game to crash after upgrading legendary weapons or level 1
workbenches.
● Resolved an issue where platforms would disappear in key locations.
● Fixed an environment spawning bug where objects overlapped in dungeons.
● Resolved an issue with disappearing equipment pieces.
● Fixed instances where "ghost hits" from already defeated mobs would still deal damage.
● Resolved a bug where the tutorial (including the legendary weapon handout) failed to trigger upon
starting a new game.
● Fixed a bug that caused total character action lockout, ensuring gameplay remains smooth during
intense moments.

Thank you for your kind words regarding the atmosphere during the playtest! We’ve worked to make our
visual identity even more polished:

working on this; a full redesign of the dialogue section is coming soon).

● Fixed stone shaders.
● Updated UI particles, including social media elements and legendary weapon progression.
● Implemented new environment VFX.
● Added halo and wreath animations to the player model.
● Created 3D models for new mobs: Griffin, Skeleton, Ghoul, and an NPC — the Fire Nun.

UI/UX (Interface & Convenience)
● Reduced menu button sizes for better visual perception.

are now more prominent.

highlighted upgrade bonuses.
