Last year, we began a huge addition of gameplay content by expanding the on-rails gameplay to include RTS type controls. This snowballed into base building and more, which we described in our blog as follows:

Structure building is meant to intersect with and enhance the seafaring gameplay by introducing management of the new resources system trifecta: Capital, Industry, and Labor.

Choices involving prioritizing certain structures or resource generation versus shipbuilding, and the skill required to multitask, ought to increase the strategic depth of the game.

Now, we are pleased to announce the full tech tree for Structures, Upgrades, and Units in the game. While we are still working to get the game back to a playable state after all these huge additions, we wanted to share the news with the community in the meantime.

Without further ado, here are the tech trees for Ruler of the Waves 1916:







All of these changes have introduced a significant amount of work and we hope to share an update once we can return the game to a playable state.

Hope to share more soon and thanks for the patience & support!

Hey guys,

Today, I am happy to announce version 0.074, which will set the mood for this winter and highlight everything that has been added since the last big update.


Winter is coming, I have a bunch of small ideas. You guys can expect a Christmas tree with a few gifts from Santa. (Christmas Tree is coming out on the 1st December)

The winter event is going to be active in the chapters where the scenario occurs inside (so if the chapter is intended to be during summer, it won't affect it).


The first basement iteration gives us the next location for the upcoming chapter. It contains two mini-games and it will soon have more interaction with sex animation being usable.


Almost 19 new animations! I have another batch of almost 20 animations coming in the upcoming weeks! They will be for the chairs, couch, floors and walls.

Also now we have our first shower animation


Small fun game that I wanted to have in the basement, the score is reset every session, I might introduce some game rules for it, at the moment it is unlimited and only for fun.


I created a small physics experience of a pool table, it is not perfect, but quite pleasant! I will improve it and certainly use the table to have sex animation in the future. it has a few features, let me mention them:

• You can use the tack mesh beside the couch to reset the balls
  
• When you aim, you can see the prediction line for the ball you are aiming at
  
• You can use SHIFT to toggle aim from the camera point of view or go back to a more straight angle

• Fix the issue with "12 minutes in Heaven" that was making F not being usable
  
• Fix the issue with the character creator having the girl move if she was having a follow-order
  
• Fix thumbnail, it was not capturing the tail on the new hair system
  
• New category display for clothes (adding jackets, glasses, and hats as an individual category)
  
• Add reset button for face presets
  
• Accessories in clothes are now unlimited, that way you are not limited to only 2 accessories
  
• Fix issue with brow scale (the slider was invalidated while packaging)
  
• Hairs are now automatically adjusted based on the hair preset
  
• Improve camera movement in the girl creator
  
• Allow to get closer to the girl in the girl creator
  
• RE-export character with emotions. They were removed from the game somehow and I failed to notice
  
• Fix issues with accessories conflicting with the old system
  
• Add a button to remove all accessories in one shot
  
• Fix issue with orgasm task (was not being confirmed with a target, now the system requires the task to know who needs to have an orgasm 😉)
  
• Fix the issue with eye location with the new preset system that was added recently
  
• Fix issue when holding an object (was not following in the good direction)
  
• Fix accessories color not being set
  
• Fix bug that was overriding the selected character thumbnail (only when going in and clicking on back then clicking again on girl creator)
  
• New check to see if a girl in the selection was selected on opening after generating the selections of girl (if no selection, revert to default preset)
  
• The sound of the TV now gets reduced to 0 when going downstairs or upstairs
  
• Glass stays straight when picking up
  
• Clean click action system (might create some small issue, but I think I cover everything)
  
• Improve the front view of the outside street so it feels a bit more immersive
  
• Add a Post Process transition when going near the side of the wall
  
• Test reflection to give surface more realism
  
• Slightly improved auto-aim (second state of crouch) to adapt better to the new animation
  
• Awareness is now working using distance and looking for the number of wall objects (approx.) between the player and the stepmom. The TV also now blocks only a certain percentage and the bathtub numbers have been changed. (also now the TV has a volume instead of affecting all the whole map)

• Face preset system (10 faces + the default one)
  
• 3 new costumes for the ability for the mission with the Halloween event
  
• Added remove button for Glasses, Jackets, and Hats category (no hat yet, but it is a question of time)
  
• Added 8 new glasses (still need to do the icons)
  
• girl gives you a small kiss in the character creator when you get up close to her

The next chapter has been started and should be coming soon and sex toys are one of the next big things as well. There is more sex animation for the chairs, couch, floor, and walls, and more clothes and accessories for the character creator.

A Christmas tree with a gift in December. Maybe a funny Snowman with some strange quest for us :O?


Thank you for supporting me by helping in the development of the game (to everyone on Discord and the Community Hub!)

+ Host Play
+ Client Play
+ Single-player

With Path of Exile 2 launching in Early Access in just two weeks, we’re sure you have a lot of burning questions about what to expect. We’ll be answering some of them in this news post. The FAQ will be updated with more answers up until the launch day.

Path of Exile 2 will launch in Early Access at 11am December 6th PST in your local time on all supported platforms, including a standalone PC client, Steam and Epic Games Store clients as well as Xbox Series and PlayStation 5.

Unfortunately Path of Exile 2 will not be available on MacOS at the start of Early Access, but we’re keen to add support for this platform as soon as possible.

Purchasing one of new Early Access Supporter Packs with a key grants you access.

As we have also announced earlier, if you've purchased a top-tier supporter pack in the past or have spent $480 USD or more in lifetime purchases in Path of Exile on a single platform, you'll automatically have access to Path of Exile 2. In this case you'll receive an email (if we have one for you) and PM on the website that lets you know that your account has had access granted. We will begin inviting players in the next two weeks. Please note that the threshold is the same for all countries and does not take regional prices into account.

You can check your past purchases by visiting Your Account on the website and selecting, "Account transactions."

Your valid purchases will include any purchase that was made with dollars instead of points. Points keys that were redeemed on your account will not contribute to this total.

A lot of people have been emailing customer support to ask if they meet the threshold. We'd prefer if you could wait until the Early Access begins and see if you're immediately invited, and then contact support if you didn't get an invite but you believe your lifetime support exceeds $480 USD.

No, the threshold is based on purchases made on one platform.

You can buy Early Access Supporter Packs on Xbox now. You can claim all microtransactions in Path of Exile 1 and you will also get access to downloading Path of Exile 2. Please note that you will not be able to launch and play that client until the game releases in Early Access on December 6th.

The Twilight Order Foil Reliquary Submission is only available for purchase in the in-game store after you have purchased the Liberator of Wraeclast Supporter Pack.

Supporter Packs for Sony realms (PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5) will become available on December 6th PST when Path of Exile 2 launches in Early Access.

Upon purchasing your first supporter pack that includes an Early Access key, that key will be automatically redeemed on the account the purchase was made. You don’t have to do anything else, just download the game client when it’s available and login on launch day!

If you're unsure about your status, or want to view any of your keys, this information is available under my-account/early-access.

If you have purchased a key and/or have access granted for one PC game client (Stand-alone, Steam, or Epic), but wish to play on another game client, you will be able to do so by claiming a key to unlock access to that client. These are available at my-account/early-access and can be redeemed on the relevant platform's store. Please note these keys only unlock the client in your library, they do not on their own provide early access to your account.

As an example, if you purchase a Supporter Pack through the Path of Exile website, you will be able to claim a key to unlock the client in your Steam Library.

A few days prior to the Early Access launch. We’ll announce the details in the news, so you won’t miss it!

Even in Early Access, Path of Exile 2 is a big game. It includes a significant campaign of Three Acts as well as a rich endgame. At the start of Early Access there will be 50 bosses, and around 400 monster types. We’ll be adding content to roughly double the size of the game during Early Access and into Release.


As long as needed, we expect at least 6 months.

Yes, you can play Path of Exile 2 in couch co-op mode on a single account right from the start. The second player will be able to create a character on that account.

No, there will not be a wipe. We will do new leagues but none of your characters will be wiped, they will just go to a league called Early Access (so they will never be in Standard). In some cases characters in old leagues might be somewhat broken by balance changes though. After launch the "Early Access" characters will still exist.

If you already have an existing account, our new account system allows you to play Path of Exile 2 using your Path of Exile 1 account. If you’re a new player, you would need to create a new account. Welcome, Exile!

Yes, but not all microtransactions are available to use yet. Many recent MTXs and all stash tabs will be initially available, but due to a massive amount of microtransactions in Path of Exile 1, we’re still in the process of adding them all to Path of Exile 2, so many of them will be marked as ‘unavailable’ in your cosmetics tab. During Early Access we will be working through the backlog and making them all available.

Stash tab purchases made in Path of Exile 1 will be available in Path of Exile 2, where relevant. For example, a special league-related stash tab might not be available in Path of Exile 2 as that content does not exist there.

We will be updating applicable stash tabs in Path of Exile 2, and stash tabs like the currency stash tab will hold different items to what it holds in Path of Exile 1.

Stash tabs become remove-only when logged into a different platform where you don't own them.

Yes, the cosmetics shop will be available in Early Access with a selection of microtransactions from Path of Exile 1. At this moment we’re not planning to introduce new microtransactions for Path of Exile 2 but we will be adding many more later.

There's no NDA for Early Access. You're welcome to show the content to whoever you like, but please bear in mind that this is content that we're still working on.

Yes, both Path of Exile 2 Unique Item Design and Divination Card Design will be available for purchase in very limited quantities at a later date.

Hey adventurers! 🌬️✨

We’re very excited about this significant update, which is bringing some fundamental changes that amp up the experience, and some highly-requested tweaks from our Beta players. In many ways, it’s a brand new HexWind - so we are excited for you to head in and feel the difference.

Once again, we need to take a moment to say how your feedback has continued to inspire us – without further ado, here’s what’s new!

🌪️ Chaos Rift Battles - A Major New and Fundamental Addition to the Game
Step into the Chaos Rifts—mysterious portals that plunge you into intense battles. Experience the thrill of fighting waves of enemies, dodging traps, and navigating arcane beams, all within the distortion of Hextime.

Let’s be clear - The intensity is turned UP in these battles, as you race to gather rift shards from fallen enemies. Maybe it’s just us, but we often broke a sweat during testing.
Beat all challenges to reseal the rifts and continue on your journey.

🌀 Wand Motion Combat - A major addition to the control scheme
Highly requested and now here! Players can unleash new offensive magic with Wand Motion Combat! Now, swiping or slashing your wand creates powerful magical attacks. Get creative with your movements and discover new ways to defeat your foes. This leverages the player’s style and finesse to create a more visceral way to ‘feel’ like a wizard.

⚔️ New Mini-Boss: Cinderwraith
Meet Cinderwraith, a formidable skeleton mini-boss with a penchant for spears. Prepare yourself for an epic showdown—we think he’ll soon enter the ranks of one of the toughest skeletons in gaming.

⚡ Lightning Impale
Introducing the Lightning Impale ability: impale enemies with lightning and slam them into the ground—or into other enemies. It's a powerful new way to turn the tide in battle, and add an electrifying (groan…) experience to the gameplay.

As you can see, this update brings a ton of new functionality that bring this Beta experience a massive leap ahead in terms of showcasing our vision for the gameplay.

We know that these new features will fundamentally alter your experience and so we urge you to check them out when you can.

As always, your feedback is invaluable—please share your thoughts and experiences. Together, we're crafting something truly special.

Happy adventuring!
The Charm Games Team
