• Improved some shadows, both in terms of visual quality and performance.
  
• Added option to disable shadows (big impact on performance).
  
• Teabagging was buffed - now with each “dip” you will get multiple coins, which should reduce time spent on each enemy corpse and reduce the risk of repetitive strain injury :)
  
• Tweaked behavior of some enemies (i.e. now they shouldn't get spasms when Bobby is on the opposite side of the gap).
  
• Fixed bugs that could result in errors in the summary screen.
  
• Fixed bug that caused Bobby’s starting animation to play multiple times.
  
• Fixed bugs that caused some particle effects to not play correctly or at all.
  
• Fixed occasional visual bugs where some sprites were displayed on the wrong layer.

Q. Do I need to own an edition of NARAKA BLADEPOINT to receive the Twitch Drops?
A. No, you do not need to own an edition of NARAKA to earn Drops on Twitch. However, to claim your Drops in the game, please ensure that you have linked your NARAKA account with your Twitch account.

Q. Do I need to watch the same channel the entire time to earn my Drops?
A. No, for this specific campaign, you can earn progress towards a Drop from watching any stream in the NARAKA: BLADEPOINT directory on Twitch. You can, for example, watch half an hour on one channel and then switch to another channel without losing your progress. Please note, however, that you cannot earn progress faster by watching more than one channel at a time as this will halt your Twitch Drop progress.

Q. Will I receive my Twitch Drops rewards in-game automatically?
A. No. You should claim the Drop on the channel you’re watching or in the Drops Inventory menu on Twitch. Then upon logging into the game, you should receive an in-game mail with your Drop items.

Greetings!

It's SilkyFangs with a quick update from Kokolori Studios. For the past months, Rubicus and I have been working on creating new content and battle updates for the third and final Chapter of the game.

Most of the work for the third Island is done. Rubicus is currently working on the Boss battles and I'm writing the story events that will reveal the island's secrets. Rubicus has been adding more varied cheers to the battles.

Of course, I'm also busy writing new story events and creating more art or refining previous sprites and backgrounds.

As promised for the full release, players will now be able to choose Alex' gender. I've been updating past story events to implement the proper pronouns and I'm currently updating all of Alex's visuals.

We're aiming for a full release in early August and can't wait to finally share the complete Tropical Hearts experience with you all! Thank you for your ongoing patience and support!

Cheers,

SilkyFangs & Rubicus

Servus... ah, wrong dialect...
Moin Moin!

We are proud to announce our new project today.

Be excited for another 3rd person RPG crime adventure with Valentin Schmidt, this time at the North Sea! Get ready for a new environment, new people and new... murders?! Valentin just wanted to go on vacation, but now he needs your help! How? Simply by wishlisting The Ebbing right here and now!

Hey all!

Great news: the release date for The Banished Vault is officially July 25th, in two weeks! If you haven't wishlisted, definitely do so you are notified when the game launches. Also if you know anyone who might be interested in the game, please pass it along!

Additionally, the in-game manual is now available to purchase in a physical form! Written and laid out by me and full of unique art by Garin, some of which didn't make it into the game!

Check it out here -> https://a.co/d/hQASUFz

It's a really cool document to hold in your hand! It's the same as what is in the game but in person Garin's art really shines:









That's all for now! I'll be posting more updates in the lead up to the launch.

What’s up Dealers?

We can’t deny you have amazed us once again. You completed the first part of the puzzle in just 11 minutes, and the second in... 36 minutes! As a reminder, it took you 24 minutes to crack the numbers station code, so you're probably cut out to be inside men!

Let's get back to the solution of our puzzle. Last week we teased you with the Isla Sombra map. You received it in two parts, here is the first and here is the second. BUT the time has come to show it in its full glory!



DDS2’s playable map area is about 30 times bigger than DDS1, if you count water bodies and rivers. You’ll have a lot to do in the game, but that’s necessary, especially if you play with your friends.




We have an answer, but… You tell us first! Just guess. If we like your answer, we might find something cool to give away, who knows.

Hey Adventurers,

Yesterday was #CapybaraAppreciationDay, and together with Orientarium ZOO Łódź, we organized a fabulous party for Tenebris - the cappy, which we are a proud sponsor of!
Dozens of people lined up in the ZOO to see capybara on her special day.



We prepared a “cake” - favorite Tenebris vegetables, such as bell peppers, beetroots, and celeries. After finishing this exquisite meal and some fans meet & greet, it was finally time for some relaxation: a long bath in rose petals. We’re sure that Tenebris enjoyed that!
