Hi everyone! As promised, here is a tentative roadmap for post launch content in the immediate future. As always, the update will likely drop near the end of the month.


October: Patches to fix bugs and rebalance certain gameplay elements

This one is pretty straightforward. There are still a hefty amount of bugs in the game, especially for overworld content, and there are various tweaks I would like to implement as well. The rest of October will be spent on bug patches (and maybe I’ll sneak in a personal break somewhere as well).

November: Endgame overworld and post game

With overworld gameplay hopefully fixed, I will be adding an overworld section to Act III with some new mission types and encounters. Similarly, finishing the game will now lead to a post-game mode (not the same as New Game +, which I'm also considering).

December: Backer content

This one is likely to be a big content update, including new items, weapons, armor, mods, NPCs and a few quests suggested by Kickstarter and Patreon backers.

I will be adding four additional trainers to the game. These are NPCs that can upgrade your attributes (ATH, PER, CHA, TEC) and come with their own quests.

January: Massage parlor and additional companion sex scenes

Adding a massage parlor facility to the guild hall that can be built and upgraded, as well as an additional sex scene here for all 9 companions.

Byte Lynx is officially released! What's next for Artful Games?

EDIT (10/21/2022): After listening to community requests and conducting a poll we are making a level editor instead of a free 3-5 mission mini-campaign. The editor will come with a few ready-to-play example levels, just not up to main campaign quality.

Join our Discord (https://discord.gg/CmpSMpKRca) for updates and input on the level editor and more details on editor functionality.

If the game does really well we would love to make a sequel and bring you our most requested feature: Multiplayer.

In the short term, we'll be fixing bugs, balancing levels, and maybe, just maybe, catching up on some sleep.

Happy gaming!

Hi everyone! This is just a quick hotfix for a couple of very annoying bugs that were reported over the last couple of days!

* Fixed an issue that caused tooltips to stop working
* Fixed an issue that caused spaceship ring markers to flicker in multiplayer
* Fixed an issue that caused hotkey settings to not save correctly

Enjoy!
