May came and went faster than usual, it seems. The weather is getting warmer, summer break is upon us, and we know that everyone has been eager for some new content. In other words, it’s the perfect time to release an update!

Sun Haven Patch 1.4: New Region, Kids, Romance Update, and the Black Market launches today, and it’s packed to the brim with a brand new region to explore, tons of new features, 9 new DLC packs, and a bunch of fixes. Oh, and there is also full controller support for PCs and Steam Decks now. And did we mention translations for Windows, Mac, and Switch once Sun Haven’s Nintendo Switch port is complete?

Yeah. This patch is huge.

If you didn’t get the chance to read through our Devblog, we also have news about Sun Haven’s Switch release! Patch 1.4 is the final patch filled with major features that will be released before the Nintendo Switch port releases. This means that no major content will be added to Sun Haven after Patch 1.4 until Sun Haven is released on the Switch!

We’ll still be working on Sun Haven updates in the meantime though, so after Sun Haven is on the Switch, we have another big expansion planned! Keep an eye out for more information from us!

Added hover text to Reserve menu
Adjusted keyboard movement controls when multiple controls are pressed at once
Fixed bug with movement when clicking on NPCs

The one thing I completely forgot to test, decided to explode and cause a crash.... so here's a fix, my bad.

New Yomi 2 update; we’ve added one new character and language support for multiple languages! Read more about it below:

June 12th, 2024 PATCH NOTES
------------------------------------------------------------------
NEW CHARACTER



—Bal-Bas-Beta, also known as BBB, is now available to play. He's a robot who uses keep-away tactics and is extremely strong when at long-range, but he does have one super move that he can use when close.

MORE LANGUAGES

—In addition to English, the game now fully supports Chinese, French, and Russian

Bug Fixes

—Master volume slider now mutes music/sounds at zero volume.

—The backspace and arrow keyboard key icons are no longer displayed too low in the button help.

—Fixed bad combat-reveal animation (missing reveal of the opponent's card, missing all on-openers-revealed UI animations) when an on-openers-revealed effect causes the combat to end prematurely. (Surprise Gift, Keep Away.)

—Fixed a bad Career mode tweet trigger for winning or losing against bacon&eggs at specific locations, which could trigger the wrong win/loss tweet.

—Grappling Mastery (Midori Ability) is no longer legal to play when Midori has no throw cards in discard. (Because then it would do nothing.)

—Fixed crash when choosing random select in online friend matches.

—Fixed Lum's Gimme a Jackpot ability so that it actually reveals the hand cards shown in the game log to the opponent.

—When Bigby's Jail super kills the opponent as an opener, the game no longer plays the Jail super movie twice.

—When a super dodge or super block kills the opponent, the game no longer shows its movie twice.

—Fix to known-hand-cards: When you exchange to fetch a second known copy of a given card, your known-hand-cards will now show two of that card, not just one.

—When Lum's item card Coin comes from a move whose hit was prevented (it dealt no damage because of Invisible, for instance), then that Coin will no longer incorrectly deal 6 damage.

—When Onimaru has the green gem storm active, his Martial Law super is now always considered to be level 3, and using it no longer drains his meter.

—Fixed some gamelog events such as "Hand Limit: Can't return Low Block" occasionally losing their text.

—River's stat/strategy card now correctly says that Bladestorm goes to Finesse stance, not to Hyper Finesse stance.

UI Improvements

—The AI is better able to value dealing lethal block damage, and lethal damage mixups in general.

—AI River expects attacks much more often while in Finesse Stance, and thus no longer mashes Counter Lunge (Finesse 4) quite as often
------------------------------------------------------------------

We’re always working on new features for Yomi 2, so hang out with us on Discord and stay up to date on further developments! We hope you had a fantastic holiday season and hope to bring you more Yomi 2 news throughout the year.

Watch me play the demo and talk about game development.

Hello Everyone!

Hope you're all doing great! I wanted to give you an update on what's been happening and where I am at with the incoming big update 0.3.1. I know it has been a lot of time since it was supposed to be released and it is still not quite finished.

The reason is that I've been working on something pretty important outside of the game in recent couple of weeks. Over the past few weeks, I've been preparing for and taking the PNPT (Practical Network Penetration Tester) exam. It’s a pretty intense process - the exam itself is 5 days of lab work, 2 days writing a report, and then a live debrief/presentation.

I'm super excited to share that I passed the exam last week! I didn't want to say anything until it was official, but now that it is, I believe that this deeper security and pentesting knowledge will help me create an even better hacking game for you all.

I know the update has been delayed a few times (yes, originally it was January-February, then April, May, and now we're in June), and I completely understand that it's annoying. But now that the exam is out of the way, I’ve shifted my focus back to the game. So here I am to tell you that the game is not dead.

The upcoming 0.3.1 update is going to be huge! Here’s a quick reminder of what it's going to be:
- Introduction of 3D world -limited- gameplay (almost done for the version!)
- Completely new, reworked UI for the in-game computer (in progress)
- Completely new network generation system for game (more realistic behavior)
- Overhauled mission system + of course new missions
- More dynamic and better-simulated in-game world and NPCs

I received a lot of support from some of you, and encouragement, which helps me a lot to not give up! I must admit I included a lot of things for that update and the scope creep made it really insane process! Especially the new game computer UI was not planned at all for that update and it itself is a huge change. It's all because I want the game to be drastically improved after this update on multiple areas, but it also means that the amount of changes required has been overwhelming for me at times. But again - I believe the worst part is already done and behind me.

Thank you for your patience. I'm pumped to bring you the really unique hacking game experience and can’t wait to see your feedback when it's finally on!

Today's release includes a variety of bug fixes and quality of life improvements across SteamVR, Steam Link, and Linux.
