Hey everyone,

It’s been a while, almost a year since the last update here, so I wanted to take a moment to share where things are at and what’s been going on behind the scenes with Serial Victims.

Over the past year, I’ve actually rebuilt the game from scratch. That might sound a bit drastic, but it’s been the right move. A lot of the original features are still here, but things are way more stable, cleaner, and overall more solid to build on now.

What’s New

Basically, everything, I will be posting new screenshots of the game in the upcoming weeks getting into some reworked and new features.

Lately, I’ve been mainly working on the main game menu, along with proper settings and keybinds. I know it’s not the flashiest part of game development, but these small quality-of-life things matter a lot, and it really helps to tie everything together.

I’m also wrapping up the ability to save your progress, which is a pretty big milestone for how the game plays and feels. I’ll be adding some screenshots of the updated game menu in this post, and I plan on sharing new gameplay images in the next few weeks as more pieces come together.





Improved trailer

A lot has changed visually and mechanically since last year, so I’ll also be working on a new trailer soon that better reflects the direction Serial Victims is heading in. The current one’s feeling pretty outdated at this point.

On a fun note: the Steam wishlists have been steadily going up, which is really encouraging to see. To celebrate that a bit, I’ll be making a small video for the YouTube channel that ties into that somewhere in June.

Localization (Maybe?)

I’ve also started looking into localization options, which would allow the game to eventually be played in multiple languages. It has been requested by multiple people so I will try and implement that. That said, it’ll most likely launch in English only at first, but the groundwork is being laid so more languages can be added down the line.

That’s about it for now. Thanks again to everyone who’s wishlisted the game or followed along quietly. Your support really does make a difference, especially since this will be my first commercial release.

Next devlog will go into a specific feature again, most likely the implemented audio system that allows you to interact with the killers.

Until next time,
– Thijs

Hey, Fountain Seekers!

We're excited to share some thrilling news with you on this nice Wednesday. Survival: Fountain of Youth’s experience continues to evolve with a free update to increase the amount of fun and creativity our awesome community can have.

So, we thought it would be cool to give you the chance to experience the game as you've never been able to before. You know, cutting time on some tedious processes and letting your imagination truly shine. In other words, please welcome the free construction mode with unlimited possibilities!

The Construction Mode on consoles is coming soon, too!


So, how about building the greatest constructions imaginable in SFOY? Maybe an Eiffel Tower or a replica of some old fancy castle. Or something that has never been built before. Let your imagination shine.



And now, to the details!

You can choose the Construction mode right from the main menu. What does this new mode mean?

• Unlimited crafting and building. All recipes are unlocked.
  
• All locations are open and ready to be settled
  
• Animals don’t notice the player.
  
• No negative statuses.
  
• Immortality and flight mode (double jump to activate)

This mode has no character development and no story progress. All game content will become available immediately, so keep it in mind if you are a new player. In that case, we recommend playing the game in normal mode first.

Also, please note that the game performance may be affected if too many objects are created in your save.


A huge round of applause to everyone who has supported our project to this day! The game was released in Early Access over two years ago, and it's been a wonderful experience of both developing a game and interacting with our awesome players. So, we hope this update will let you explore your freedom and show off your creativity in Survival: Fountain of Youth.

And if you don’t already own a copy of Survival: Fountain of Youth, it’s time to get it with a nice 60% discount till May 28!



Time to rejoice and immerse yourself in this new mode! And please be sure to share your creations on Steam screenshots and/or X using the #creativeSFOY hashtag. A fine hashtag to accompany some fantastic constructions, which we can’t wait to see!

The Survival: Fountain of Youth Team

Greetings to all the influential figures of the empire!

Starting from 10:00 AM (JST) on May 23th, we will be updating the supply and ROM.

Despite the unfortunate weather, thank you to everyone who visited us at Game Market Spring 2025!
As for our new items:
・Storage Box (Apprentice Maid)
・Playmat (HEART of CROWN Online edition)
We are currently preparing them for sale on BOOTH, and will make a separate announcement once they are available.
https://illucalab.booth.pm/

We hope you've been enjoying the ongoing beta release of Northern Enchantress – Second Edition, which began last month!
As we've mentioned in previous updates, this beta implementation also serves as a testing phase for potential card adjustments.
If you have any feedback or thoughts, we encourage you to join our official Discord and share your impressions—we’d love to hear from you!

Hello, dear FantasyCrafters!

As requested, we’ve added a small new location with additional coal, iron, and copper deposits! You’ll find it inside Emperor Mehkrahn’s underground palace, hidden behind wooden gates—break them down with any weapon to access the riches. We’ve also squashed some pesky bugs and made tweaks.

Here’s what’s new in this patch:

• New mini-location – Extra coal, iron, and ore deposits added.

• Window bug fixed

• Increased the map box

• Skeletons in the Ruins buffed – Fight smarter, warriors!

• Increased arrow stack size – Carry more ammo.

• Fixed Pierre’s quest reward – Now correctly gives lockpicks for "The Family Ring" quest.

• Added missing translations – German, French, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, and Russian.

• Stone-tier building upgrade removed (this was a test).

• Milk bottles now auto-stack – Inventory management made easier.

• Adjusted cow milking time – Slightly longer for realism.

• Combat tweak – Attack animations can now be canceled into a block.

Hello! Since the issue is widespread, we decided that announcement was needed so that as many people as possible could know what to try.

We are aware of this problem and our team is working on a permanent solution as a priority task. For now, there is a temporary measure that can help you:
1) Turn off the game
2) Click with the right mouse button on the Horny Villa in your Steam library.
3) Select "Properties..."
4) You will immediately see a text box. Copy and paste parameters "-force-glcore" without quotation marks.
