Hopefully this will be the last minor update before the first major update.

Thank you all once again for the incredible feedback that is really allowing me to make WitchGhost

the game you want it to be. Here's the latest fixes and updates:

• The amount of mana used by spells now resets correctly when starting a new run

• Exploding barrels and pumpkins no longer expel shrapnel when a menu is on screen

• Scrolls no longer expire and will remain on the map until collected

• The life span of mana and health pickups has been increased

• The lifespan timers on the mana and health pickups now pause when a menu is on the screen

• Mana potions will now give you different amounts of mana based on the difficulty level

  • Easy: Mana now gives 20

  • Medium: Mana now gives 15

  • Hard: Mana now gives 10

  This will hopefully assist with balancing the game's difficulty and help to reduce running out of mana early in the game

Please keep the feedback coming and once again a MASSIVE thank you all for downloading and playing WitchGhost

I’ve been working hard over the past year to bring back the core experience of the game in this revival. Over time, much of what made playing Azusa special has changed — and this update is dedicated to our most nostalgic players!

Let’s start with the interface changes!

The game’s interface has been completely remade to resemble the original version from our Steam release — but with key improvements to fit the current gameplay.

There’s now greater emphasis on the Story and Rules tabs, and most importantly, a modernized chat system built for roleplay. This new chat focuses on in-character conversations, displaying profile pictures and using a clean, immersive roleplay layout.

The class system’s logic has been reworked. Now, you start by choosing your initial class — and for every 1,000 total Roleplay Points (RPP) you earn, you can multiclass into another.

It might seem like a small change, but it opens up far more room for character development and fixes several gameplay issues. For instance, cities sometimes became difficult to play when no one filled civil roles. Now, two long-term characters can eventually cover all the key roles.

To access the Multiclass Panel, open the RPP Spend menu and click Multiclass.

Accessing farms or machines in progress (for example, trying to steal a growing crop) now requires Farmer Knowledge. This prevents not only easy theft but also fixes a known exploit.

Seeds can now be re-obtained from vegetables — right-click a vegetable to split it into two seeds.

Additionally, cows and other large animals can now be tamed and fed (using corn or wheat), which greatly increases the amount of food and leather they drop.

(Houses breaking, horse aging, wagons, NPCs, etc.)

We’ve fixed several known time-related issues and restored the original in-game time speed:
2 in-game years = 1 real-life day.

Destroyed houses will now leave behind a “ruin” tile, which can be clicked to reveal who destroyed it.

Bosses have returned — and their power now scales with the global player average!
Be careful out there!

There is now a mechanical system to revive gods! Gods are once again the ones who distribute the Elite (Golden) Armors.

To perform a God Revival Ritual, one of the top 5 followers of a specific god must sit on that god’s throne after reaching 1,000 RPP, then perform the ritual.

This will bring the player to the Dreamworld, where they’ll witness a wave of Cosmo leading to a Dream Baby. Upon awakening, they’ll obtain a Possible God Vessel Baby — an item that persists on the map and remains under their protection until it’s handed to a Kid Player.

That kid can then play as the god vessel. If they reach adulthood with enough RPP before other possible vessels, they’ll ascend as that god, gaining divine commands and abilities.

At age 25+, if the vessel remains alive and powerful enough, they will receive their Kamui!

Initial God Thrones:

• Zeus – Top of the Sanctuary

• Hera – Heracles Temple

• Hades – Cathedral hidden in the deep forest

• Poseidon – Asgard Castle

Battles for the Olympian Armors now occur only when a Possible God Vessel is revived.
While all gods remain dormant, the world enters a peaceful era without great wars — an age known as Azusa.

We’ve made small adjustments to RPP progression speed, creating smoother and more balanced growth. The early days will have a lower cap to ensure a steady, fair start during the first week — allowing characters to settle in naturally.

Rare relics such as the Book of Seals and Sacrificial Daggers are now dropped by bosses instead of spawning manually!

• Adjusted damage calculation for elemental skills.

Let’s talk about the next couple game updates! (Also: featuring some community creations.)

We’re working on a few upcoming game updates, along with helping with the next curated map’s release. These aren’t ready to ship just yet. We’ve shared some details as to why below.

Our next game update is focused on (1) an engine upgrade, and (2) introducing new features intended for an upcoming curated map and Limestone, though we think all modders will really enjoy the new options. We’re estimating this will be ready in the next couple weeks.

After that engine upgrade, we’ll be right back to working on the next actual content update we’ve teased bits of.

For context, our previous update (version 3.25.9.2) also contained an engine upgrade. That patch was necessary due to a security vulnerability in certain Unity versions. Unfortunately, some players are experiencing crashes after that update, which we believe is due to the engine upgrade.

We’ve been hopeful about making a larger upgrade to Unity 2022 LTS – which would fix some pathfinding bugs, and should (hopefully) resolve those crashes. Since this is a major upgrade, bugs are likely. We’ve already fixed a few issues and we’re hoping to catch more prior to release.

Both the next curated map, and the next content update, are shaping up nicely. We’re unsure which of those will release first – but the soonest game update is that Unity 2022 LTS engine upgrade.

In Unturned’s next content update, brick structures have been truly cemented as the best base building material. We’ve sprinkled new “clay nodes” across the game’s official maps to make farming the materials consistent, and every missing brick structure piece has been added so you don’t need to mix-and-match materials anymore.

We’ve updated the Preview branch with a build of the game running on Unity 2022 LTS. Please let us know if you encounter any issues with the preview build! We hope you’ve been enjoying Limestone in the meanwhile

Mark Artwort’s Furniture Mod is perfect for decorating your base. Featuring a variety of fairly-modern furniture designs, along with fun rugs, paintings, and other objects to spruce up your home.

If you’re decorating your base, consider using the Expanded Mannequins mod by Embr and Prkr! This mod adds 27 mannequin poses to the game. You can trick enemies with their player-like stances, or place them around your base’s new furniture.

Q. Does Unturned go open-source this year?
“Thanks for your interest! I’m hopeful for later this year or early 2026. Tidying up loose ends legally-speaking has been a much bigger undertaking than I’d anticipated. Aside from that, most recently I’ve been slowly chipping away a little bit each day at a checklist of every source file in the game, double-checking that, for example, there aren’t references to anything under NDA. Fortunately, Nelson of 11 years ago seems to have been fairly responsible.”—Nelson

Q. How do I override the clouds my custom map? I’m not seeing any error messages!
Our complete documentation can be found online. If your error logs are empty, it’s possible that the Cloud Intensity in the level’s lighting tab is set to zero, or the Cloud Color is currently black – either of these would make it hard to notice your custom clouds are working.

Q. How do I remove an IP whitelist/blacklist from my Steam Workshop mod?
By updating the Workshop file and leaving those fields empty, it should remove the restriction.

Thanks for reading!

• Fixed Unity security vulnerability CVE-2025-59489

A few players were reporting issues with world generation and things like cabins appearing too often. Turns out there was an oversight with some of the updated distance checking code that caused incorrect distance calculations mostly at world generation time, and for some calculations like cabin generation at world explore time. With this update, cabin generation will be fixed going forward in existing post-v0.11.11 worlds, and new worlds will have everything else fixed up (including village and other feature placement). Apologies for the oversight!

Fixes

• Fixed bad distance calculation introduced in v0.11.11 for certain world generation based checks that would cause errors when generating new worlds, cabins that would generate too densely, and other similar issues

Hey Sailors,

The feedback from Next Fest & Scream Fest was massive. Thousands of you played the demo and wishlisted the game, which is incredible for a solo dev. Thank you!

That early demo was a valuable test. Based on all your feedback, I'm taking the demo offline for now so I can fully focus on the next major update.

The playtest will be back soon! Here’s the plan so you know what's next:

• This Month: Playtests come back online (with the new improvements).

• Within 2 Months: I'll share the full Roadmap (hopefully with the Early Access date!).

Thanks for your patience! If you have any questions, feel free to join our Discord and say hi.

Wishlist or follow to get notified!

NOTE: This update is very big, and changes some core mechanics!

IT IS HEAVILY RECOMMENDED THAT YOU MAKE A NEW SETTINGS PROFILE!

Regarding future updates:

The game is now in a state I am happy with, and while there are many things I would consider adding, I can't financially support myself enough to work on this game a lot at the moment. So there will be more updates, but they will be very in-frequent.

THAT BEING SAID, I have set up a patreon at https://www.patreon.com/c/UltimateJOIDev, and if we gain enough members I will be able to dedicate a lot more time to working on this game.

Members will get early access to any future updates, and will get to vote on what features are included in those updates (Once there are enough members to vote that is) Check it out :)
