Hey everyone!

We've been working on improving character customization and making important fixes.
Here’s what’s new:

1. Character customization updates:

• Added several new hairstyles as well as color customization
  
  
• Added makeup customization
  
  
• Updated shoes with new styles
  

2. Other improvements:

• Optimized ingredient containers
  
• Fixed liquid dynamics issues in containers

3. Work in progress:

• Developing a realistic food wetting & drying system
  

Thanks for your support, and as always, more exciting updates are on the way! ✨

Before diving into the details of this update, I'd like to take the chance to thank all those of you who have been supporting me. The resources of a solo developer are very limited, and this activity is possible only with the backing and encouragement of the players.

• You can give nicknames to your staff and notable legionaries.
  
• The complex tooltips of some battle stats have been divided into two sections, a summary with a concise description and the details. This way, a new user should be able to learn the basics without having to get into the complex technicalities.
  
• Same as above for the tooltips of Recompact and Encourage, available during Lulls, and for most individual combat actions.
  
• The tutorial page that explains the battle stats (Cohesion, Front, etc.) has been simplified.
  
• A few more hints have been added to help the players gain their bearings and get the gist of the game.
  
• The Minimum Goal for battles has been renamed to Primary Goal.
  
• Successfully evading the battle in the eighth chapter is no longer counted as a failed Primary Goal.
  
• If you don't save and exit during a battle when you have the opportunity, the game is autosaved now. The save and exit function is there in case you have to stop playing in the middle of a battle, since they can be long. The new autosave is there to provide a backup just in case of technical problems and similar issues before the battle is over.
  
• In the building mini-game, successful bonus production rolls are highlighted in green.
  
• In the foraging mini-game, the messages informing you that additional supplies were found by a specific individual are also highlighted.
  
• When a special Order is selected, but the overall Commitment of both formations is too low for a clash to happen, an icon warns that player that the Order will be ignored.

• A scripted event in the eighth chapter should not be repeated when the game is reloaded in turn 2 or later.

Gamer's Patch Notes

• 
  On killing a mob, a snapshot of your current party is taken to use for loot requests. (Fixes bug where you could kill a mob, invite someone, and that someone could loot the corpse)
  
• 
  Selected player info will now hide the add friend button if you're already friends.
  
• 
  Made EffectSprite class which plays visual effects.
  
• 
  Added TargetAnimFilename to SkillDefinition. If a skill has a target animation filename then that is loaded into an EffectSprite and animated on the target of the skill.
  
• 
  Rewrote EffectSprite to be much faster and to pool effects.
  
• 
  Added 3 final skill animation effects to Ice Shard, Energy Orbs, and Arrow Barrage! Great job https://waterwitchrpgstudio.com/ !
  
• 
  https://waterwitchrpgstudio.com/ is working on more skills and sound effects!
  
• 
  Shop prices now have a K or M if they're in the thousands or millions.
  
• 
  Upgraded the game's steam client to Electron 35.0.3 http://electronjs.org/blog/electron-35-0 and pushed it to Steam.
  
• 
  anisotropicFilteringLevel = 1 now as we don't need that turned on.
  
• 
  Seperated out CollisionMap class from TileMap class.
  
• 
  Tried out several pathfinding libraries like https://github.com/mikolalysenko/l1-path-finder
  
• 
  Implemented a version of A* pathfinding that runs on a worker. Still need to heavily optimize it as it can be very slow.
  
• 
  Finished the Pixel Games LLC taxes.
  
• 
  Everything on https://game.fantasyonline2.com is now cached for 1 year on Vercel, Cloudflare, and in your browser. This should be a big performance improvement as before it was only cached for 8 hours.
  
• 
  Added path reconstruction, line of site, and path simplification code to Apathfinding code.
  
• 
  Added a new class called InlineWorker which takes code, caches that code into blob object url, and then runs it on another thread in a worker.
  
• 
  Made Apathfinding bi-directional which is must faster in some cases.
  
• 
  Added Bresenham's algo for line of site for Apath simplification.
  
• 
  Rewrote the TileMap again, this time using lower level techniques. It should be much faster! (Watch for bugs)
  
• 
  Implemented map mesh chunking for visibility occlusion.
  
• 
  The new map renderer reduces memory used by over ~150MB. It also draws much much faster.
  
• 
  On login, all map tile textures are loaded by the browser in the background. The map doesn't create itself with that texture until you visit it for the first time. This reduces load time and memory used.
  
• 
  Fixed a bug related to very long friend lists.
  
• 
  Upgraded supertokens to a new version that broke things. Fixed the broken things.
  
• 
  Fixed a bug where you couldn't accept the ToS on the main site due to Termly Javascript being blocked by an ad blocker.
  
• 
  Spent a lot of time optimizing the Apathfinding. It's a very cpu intensive algorithm.
  
• 
  And then more optimizing of A* and a devlog about it https://www.patreon.com/posts/devlog-56-path-125421925
  
• 
  Fixed visual effects playing a final animation frame that doesn't exist. (Weird thing at the end of lightning animation is fixed)
  
• 
  Fixed a bug having to do with browser loosing focus and then when it came back into focus it spammed the server.
  
• 
  Added buff effect code that allows modding attack speed.
  
• 
  Changed the Character Window Factions tab to a GUIScrollList.
  
• 
  Updated the Steam inventory item defs. (1193 item defs!)

• 
  New achievements added to Steam. https://steamcommunity.com/stats/2957110/achievements
  
• 
  Added buff code that allows damage absorbtion.
  
• 
  Added skill code to allow transfer of energy.
  

Hey bush pilots,

There has been steady progress in our development and recent milestones have brought us progress on things like; Pilot Reputation, Job Complexity, Improved Landscape, Weather systems and Runway surfaces, Remote bush airstrips and so much more.

We'll remind you that all of our screenshots and video footage shared is work in progress and should change over time. Which we are sure you'll begin to notice as we share more and more.


We spent some time stress testing the foliage amount, is 3 million trees enough? Turns out it's not and we expect we'll need 30+ million trees over the full map.





Weather from inside the cockpit. If it rains, snows or is super foggy, someone needs to complete those cargo deliveries, right?


When bush flying you expect to see some incredible views, and the Aurora Borealis is just one of them. 🌌

We'll see you next month for another developer update! Don't forget to join our Discord, wishlist Deadstick and stay tuned for news about future playtests.

Hello everyone,

After much consideration, I have decided to retire Left to Rot from Steam. This was not an easy decision, but I feel that the game no longer reflects the quality of my newer projects, and I am no longer satisfied with it.

If you already own the game, you will still have access to it in your library. However, after [date, if applicable], it will no longer be available for purchase.

Thank you to everyone who supported Left to Rot your feedback and engagement have meant a lot to me. I’m excited to continue working on new projects, and I hope you’ll stick around for what’s coming next!

If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Hello,
This is Project Moon.

We have identified and fixed the following issue in combat Encounters.

[Issue]
- An issue where, in Focused Encounters, enemies who gain new phases or spawn anew
load in with detailed info for their Skills or Passives in locked states

[Cause]
- A side effect of trying to fix the issue where, if the player returns to the stage info menu after finishing just the first wave,
detailed info for enemies appearing in second wave and onward loads in unlocked

[Solution]
- Identified the issue and corrected the in-game logic to prevent it from occurring again

[Deployment ETA]
- After Apr. 10th (THU) Scheduled Maintenance

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.

• F-117 — a task to acquire an additional camouflage has been changed. Now to obtain the camouflage, a player needs to destroy any ground vehicles (both AI controlled and players) instead of destroying players’ vehicles. The number of vehicles to destroy and the game mode multipliers have not been changed.
  
• Tiger HAD, Tiger HAP — a bug that caused the landing gear to be shifted has been fixed. (Report).

• T-10A — an ability for an additional respawn in the Ground Simulator Battles, which was present by mistake, has been removed.
  
• AMC.34 YR, H.35 and FCM.36 have been grouped together.

• The damage to a naval vessel caused by an explosion in the ammunition storage rooms has been adjusted. Explosion power now depends on the amount of ammunition in the storage — the more explosives there are, the more powerful the explosion will be. Damage from their detonation is now considerably larger and has a greater radius of effect, in which it damages modules. We’d like to note that different vessels are built differently and while on some the ammo storage is separated from each other by thick armor, others can lack such armor or not have such thick armor, which can cause the explosions effect to drastically differ from one vessel to another.
  
• The propagation dynamics of fire on main caliber turrets via ammo elevators towards the ammunition storage rooms have been adjusted. On larger ships with inhabited ammo elevators the fire can spread through them upwards (towards the main caliber guns) and downwards (towards ammunition storage). Fire in the elevator can start from its destruction as well as from the damage received by the elevator (for example, an explosion of a shell inside it). Moreover, fire in the turret can spread down, to the elevators and if a player doesn’t react in time to extinguish it, the fire can spread through the elevators to the ammunition storage rooms. If that happens, there is little time to react — an explosion can happen at any moment while the fire affects the ammunition.

• Karelia — errors that caused visual artifacts to appear on the landscape have been fixed. Low-quality trees around the ground battle zone have been removed.
  
• Advance to the Rhine — the orientation of the distant helicopter spawn for the northern team has been adjusted. It is now facing the ground battle zone.
  
• Carpathians — areas that allowed climbing onto the cliffs in square G5 have been blocked.

• Client stability has been improved.

Patch notes reflect only key changes, meaning they may not include a complete list of all improvements made. Additionally, War Thunder is constantly being updated and some changes may not require an update. Changes reflected in patch notes are formed by taking reactions and requests of the community from the bug reporting service, forums and other official platforms into account. Bug fixes and changes are implemented in order of importance, for example a game-breaking bug will be worked on and implemented sooner.

Cursed Pantsu has sold over 100000 copies and garnered a lot of positive feedback from players and critics, thank you very much for that. We are happy to announce that we are planning to release Cursed Pantsu 2 in the second half of 2025!
We have moved from Georgia to a new office in California to produce the sequel. We also plan to expand our staff and hire diversity specialists. Now there will be more than just women's panties in the game!



But seriously, I'm currently working on Only Cards, an original card game that mixes the genres of deckbuilder, hentai puzzle, and visual novel:
