Dustborn, the holiday edition
Just in time for the holidays, version 1.10 — our second major update since launch — brings performance improvements, bug fixes, and new content to Dustborn.
As always, we welcome and appreciate your feedback, suggestions, and bug reports — both in the Steam discussion forum and on Discord.
We hope you enjoy our latest update…and this is still just the beginning! We have more exciting and surprising game updates planned for next year — including features and content suggested by our community.
Players on other platforms: this version will be available through alternative PC storefronts (Epic/GOG) and on consoles next week.
Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, thanks for playing Dustborn, and we'll see you all in 2025!
Change log — version 1.10
Performance and bug fixes
- Optimisations and improved performance in multiple scenes, including La Torre in issue #1 and Betty's Diner in issue #10.
- Occlusion/LOD fixes in several locations (including the first dream sequence) to improve performance and reduce popping.
- Full-screen overlays (e.g. character introduction screens) previously hid subtitles; this has now been fixed.
- Some inventory item textures were blurry when the visual quality was set to low or medium. Those textures are now higher resolution.
- The crew should now (finally!) respond correctly to Pax's choice of t-shirt at the first campfire.
- Smaller bug fixes throughout the game, including dialogue branching corrections and dialogue audio volume improvements.
- Save game feature update.
Features and enhancements
- Additional polish and bug fixes in issues #0-1. The opening hours have received special attention, to improve the quality and pacing of the new player experience. This includes dialogue edits and new animations, staging changes, timing tweaks and fresh content.
- New scenes and dialogue lines added throughout the game to better explain the Puritans and Axiom storyline. More to come in future updates!
- Improved ultra-widescreen support.
- Enhancements to the combat tutorial at the end of issue #1, including new cameras and animations, dialogue tweaks, and a more polished post-combat scene.
- Band game: UI tweaks and new comic-book panels during band performances.
- New bat-throwing taunt finisher. This finisher is used primarily on airborne enemies.
- Prologue comic is now accessible immediately upon unlock. The option to read the prologue is also highlighted on the title screen until the comic-book is accessed.
- Camera auto-follow functionality. Available in settings, under "Controls".
- New graphics modes: Fidelity, Balanced, and Performance. Available in settings, under "Video".
