We promised a change log and... we were late. Then we said we would post it again, and well, we didn't; however, now we are!

For those not in the tester groups, we wanted to let you know that it is because we were spending more time working on the game, communicating with small groups in our community, and slacking on communication otherwise.

Do not let this worry you. We are back to tell you about our development progress and inform you of our upcoming launch and Pre-Order campaign.

This changelog covers all the late nights that turned into days over the past few months. The changes highlighted here will cover anything from our last changelog (0.5.3, go ahead,judge us) to 0.7.0. We will resume persistent changelogs and eventually patch notes starting with version 0.8.0.

As always, if you have any questions, suggestions, and/or concerns - just step into our Discord and join the discussion!

• Ragnarok : Your health is halved. Instead, your rage gauge increases every time you recover health. You gain 1% attack power per rage point. The acquired rage gauge decreases by 1 per second.
  
• Energy absorption : Recover 10 HP per kill.

You can build up 'Ragnarok' stacks through 'energy absorption'. It also frequently restores health, mitigating the risks associated with 'Ragnarok'.

• Reload compulsion : Reloading recharges the skill gauge by 20%.
  
• Dominant Firepower : Increases skill damage by 50 with each core upgrade.

Recharge your skills by reloading, and experience enhanced abilities with 'Dominant Firepower'. Try using a pistol that has been upgraded for faster reload speed. By saving your firearm purchase gold to invest in core upgrades, you can use even more powerful skills.

• Gotcha : Gain 100 gold for each chest destroyed.
  
• Gambler : The probability of acquiring a box increases by 2% (from the original 1% to 3%).

Increase your chances of obtaining boxes, and enhance the rewards from boxes. This will simply allow you to gain more resources.

Have you dreamt of becoming a musician and have the hottest bassist ever beside you? Maybe, you're in desperate need of a new housing? Or your body is in a desperate need of professional care?

I get it, you can't wait anymore! It's time to unpack the God's menu and show you what we've been cooking. Try out three new stories right here, right now!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2221840/Sex_and_the_Furry_Titty_3_Come_Inside_Sweety/




Accompanied by undying classic puzzle, these stories won't leave you indifferent. And that's just an
aperitif, it only gets hotter from here.





We're breathing new life into the classic game of 3-in-row now, and it's time to introduce our new feature: unlimited turns! For those who enjoy the casual playstyle and are invested in the story - just check the box and enjoy the game with one hand, basically.




Of course, we don't stop here. The main course will have everything you love about our games - chili hot stories, finger-licking animations and tip-worthy voice-acting.

Give our other projects some love as well and wishlist them now:

The demo for Demon Loop is out now, so feel as free as you can, grab your deck of cards as well as your demon fighting gear (maybe a snack while you’re at it) and go save the towns that are plagued by the demon arrivals.



And not only that, but on wednesday, February 7th, 07:00 am PT (16:00 CET), the mind behind the Loop, Alexander Pfister, will join us for a livestream to talk about the game and where the future may lead it, so tune in to that!

Since it’s a demo, we would be more than happy for any kinds of feedback, so if you would like to add a little bit of your creativity and give us ideas or just generally want to tell us something, you can always join our Discord or send us a message on X, Instagram or TikTok!

Greetings, Kings and Queens!

The Tsar of Boreal Nomads has called for reinforcements! This small content update brings Boreal Nomads Advisors, unique new buildings and artifacts to help the northerners overcome the green menace!

The Council of Advisors is here! And this time we thought it’d be cool to introduce them one-by-one









Like other Advisors, they provide the cards tied to their speciality, once used. However, they might get more influential than that in future updates! So keep their names in mind.

Boreal Nomads also received new useful buildings. One of them is the Brewery, which expands your hand if you place cards into this building. This makes it very handy, especially since Boreal Nomads didn’t have hand extending cards in the past.



The other one is the Lumbermill, which has a unique mechanic where it raises the health of all the village palisades for every forest tile you’ve destroyed while building it. Which makes sense, since all that wood must’ve gone somewhere!



This update also brings new Boreal-exclusive artifacts and a relic swapping system. Now you can click on any slotted relic and place it into a different slot or even a circle! No longer do you have to get mad when the Boreals place the strongest relics into the least important circles!

• Added Boreal Nomads Advisors
  
• Added 2 new buildings for Boreals
  
• Introduced new Boreal-exclusive artifacts
  
• Introduced the relic swap system
  
• Improvements to stagger — a unit is granted stagger immunity for a couple of seconds after being staggered
  
• Boreal Nomads can no longer get the artifacts, which provide no benefits for them (i.e Tax Puch)
  
• The effects from palisade offences now have a maximum spawn distance
  
• The Boreals now prefer buying a new weapon instead of weapon polishing

• Fixed the issue causing the currently dragged card to stick to the cursor and preventing the player from interacting with the game
  
• Fixed a bug where the Boreals didn’t get the reward for slotting a relic into a circle
  
• Fixed a bug where the Boreals didn’t get the reward for each segment of the boss’s health
  
• Fixed the “Static” enchantment not halving the card price if the player has Ben’s Hat artifact
  
• Fixed the visuals for relic circles for the Summer biome

A new hotfix has been released with the following changes:

- Add option to explicitly set the display to use in the video options, and disambiguate monitor names in case the names are duplicated. This fixes the game starting up on the wrong display on Windows. Under linux the issue can persist due to issues in the underlying GLFW library
Reported by Gootch03, EnemyStarship
- Fix issue where leaving to explore early could leave you stranded due to the first fast travel option not being unlocked early enough
Reported by spiralll_
- Fix a crash occurring from a stray UI unit conversion issue
