Update 2 Unstable 2 has arrived! Just like Unstable 1, this patch adds a ton bug fixes and improvements, but most importantly, new content!

Some of the highlights of this patch are the new upgradable doggo houses, further enhancements to the new faith system, tons and tons of new animations, the resource rate calculator, additional resource bar configurations, a new spell/disaster (a comet!), really high quality new font rendering, and a ton of bug fixes and other QoL changes.

As with most of Rise to Ruins' patches, there's way too much to cover in a summary, so check out the changelogs and enjoy!

If you find a bug, you can report it on the Steam Bugs Forums or Discord!

Hey everyone! Spring is here near the office, and development is squirreling along for the big update. Most of the game's current progression system has been removed to make way for a new scanning tool and pet markets.

Justifying those changes is some new story work and worldbuilding being added. While I'm happy with the basic gameplay, there's some plot which needs to be developed before we launch from early access.

Also, I finally have a Steam Deck here! I discovered last night that it will automatically download an old broken linux version of Industrial Petting from three years ago, but I'll try to have that fixed soon. Controller support is already in the game, so all that's needed are performance and support fixes.

Alongside our livestream reveal for the Sentinel expansion, we'll also be introducing two new sets of Supporter Pack themes! At that time, the Scourge Supporter Packs will leave the store forever, so this is your last chance to purchase them before they are gone!

There are two pairs of Scourge Supporter Packs available in the store; the Liege Supporter Pack and the Dread Supporter Pack. Each of the two pairs is designed in its own style with different contents, so you can choose whichever you prefer; or if you can’t decide, you can get both! If you have previously purchased a smaller pack, you have the option to upgrade to a larger one. All of the microtransactions included in the Supporter Packs are exclusive and will not be available in the store again.


If you're interested in getting one of the Scourge Supporter Packs but you're not sure you'll be able to do so in time, we'd recommend setting up a payment plan which can reserve a pack for you for up to three months after the commencement of your plan. Just email us in advance at support@grindinggear.com; we'll be happy to help you!


Additionally, if you have purchased any plain points packs since October 13th 2021 (PDT), you can use this in an upgrade to one of the Scourge Supporter Packs! You can credit up to 80% of the value of your desired supporter pack towards an upgrade. You'd then receive the remainder of the contents of the pack, excluding the points you already purchased before the upgrade.

The Scourge Supporter Packs will be replaced with the new ones on consoles alongside the launch Path of Exile: Sentinel.

Thank you so much for your continued support!
