Build Release 05.12.2025 Announcement and Changelog

Welcome to the December test build!

Where do we begin.. The landscape is making good progress with the visual upgrade and we are in the midst of integrating the changes, we expect them to be fully integrated in the $10 build, but you can see an in-between step in this test build already :) More landscape details, better river meshes, updated Sky Village buildings, and more. Many quests have been improved based on your feedback so we are looking forward to hearing how you find them now. We also added 4 new characters for you to play around with in the sandbox. Two imposing kerpali and two froggy Lizardmen. A tattoo system has been implemented for story mode and sandbox, as well, and in sandbox it even allows you to add your own custom-made tattoos.

Combat Update – New Exhaust System

Thanks to all the amazing feedback from you, we’ve taken a big step forward with our combat system for this December’s release. We’ve introduced Exhaust as a new shared resource: normal attacks, special attacks, dodges, blocks and parries now all affect not only your exhaust, but also your enemy’s. This creates a much more dynamic and less “static” combat flow, where managing openings and pressure matters a lot more than before.
The current combat tutorial hasn’t been updated yet and we’re still actively tweaking the values, but you can already try the new system in the story mode of this $25 build, even though it's still cooking until next week's release. Our goal is to have the best possible version ready for the upcoming $10 build, where we’ll ask for your detailed feedback once more. To celebrate this rework we’re also preparing a combat competition with prizes  – more info on how to participate will follow next week!

New: buttplug.io Toy Integration

On the lewder side of things: this build adds buttplug.io toy integration. That means compatible toys can now react to what’s happening in-game, for those of you who want a more… immersive experience.
This feature is part of a very special collaboration we’ve been working on behind the scenes, which we’ll officially announce next week as well. Stay tuned!
