NODE: The Last Favor of the Antarii has officially passed 20,000 wishlists on Steam!

From the edge of Toska’s radiation zones to the frozen moment at the core, your support has carried us through unstable timelines, dead satellites, and questionable Soviet engineering.

We’re incredibly grateful for each wishlist, every signal boost, and all your feedback. This project means the world to us — and knowing you’re with us on this journey keeps the mission alive.

NODE: The Last Favor of the Antarii is launching in Q3 2025.

Until then, stay curious. Stay careful. And keep your eyes on the red doors.

-Fixed a bug where players could still turn the valve after the day ended past 11:00 PM.

-(Possibly) fixed a rare issue where the camera would detach from the player when someone joined your game.

P.S. Thank you to everyone who leaves feedback — you're helping me make the game better :)

Bugfix

- The item name's text now shows in "My Listings" Global Market UI

- Refreshing the page after posting a comment for a Report Ticket will not prevent double-posting

- Fixed the text UI in "Your Listings" Global Market UI

- Close button now works on "My Listings" Global Market UI

- Fullscreen toggle now works in Settings UI

Feature

- An email will now get sent to all parties involved in a Report Ticket

Misc

- Added a server-wide "shutdown" command for moderators to use (in-case of a horrible bug/glitch while developers are not online)

- Added more server-side logs for player disconnects (trying to find rare bug)

- All normal chat is now global (temporarily while player count is low)

Performance

- None

Polish

- None

0.12.6.0

Additions:
- Pressing F12 now takes screenshots for steam.
- Missing hotkeys have been added to the options menu, but are not bindable yet. (Going to need to overhaul the keybinding system slightly to support the single key options.)

New Clothing Sets!
- Warlock Set. Similiar to the Wizard set, but for strength. Set bonus increases the chance that heroes use skills.
- Chef Set. Lower defence set focusing on agility. Set bonus reduces cooldown from using items dramatically.
- Beekeeper's Set. Healing/Tank hybrid set. Set bonus applies a stack of honey onto the rest of the team when a battle starts.
- Ghille Suit. Low defense set focusing on strength. Set bonus increases damage every attack, resetting when the hero is damaged.
- Plague Suit. High defense set focusing on strength. Set bonus increases damage based on how much health is missing.

New Raid Location!
- Enchanted Forest, A forest of magical creatures that are far more violent than you'd first think. Main resource is Toadstools, crafting three together gives you a magic dust. Appears at 2 stars and above.
- Main gimmick is a day/night cycle, with certain enemies only appearing during the day or night.
- Boss uses same gimmick with Fairy Godfather/Godmother.

Other Changes:
- Some tutorial wording has been tweaked to make it clear you can double click to add material instead of dragging items.
- Mimics can now spawn as random bosses!

Balance:
- Some clothing sets used to get lower stats as they leveled up, they no longer do.
- Honey is now more common from resource nodes.
- Tweaked gem activation chances.

Bug Fixes:
- Heroes were using skills far more often than enemies in tournaments and they're now in parity.
- Clothing from the demo were being generated FAR more commonly than clothing after, this is now fixed.
- The Chainmail set was not functioning properly with rival battles.

Oh and here's a sneak peak of the new crafting popup, with a highly requested feature.

This is more of an Art Patch than an Asset release. We've taken all the single doors and created double doors with new animations. There are also many tweaks to TileSets and animation additions.

There will also be a new Asset Pack release soon! 

Hope you all enjoy!

Doors

• Added double doors for all single-door assets

• Set the build direction of doors to always face the direction they open

• Made the Icon direction of doors consistent

Desert Town Tileset

• - Fixed various alignment issues from player feedback

Ship Tileset

• Fixed some pieces missing proper paint shading.

Marble Palace

• Fixed "Ambient Occlusion" issue on tiles

• Changed and added a marble floor variant to make floors match walls when stacking tiles.

• Tweaked marble patterns to "tile" less.

• Tweaked texture shine in areas.

Other: had to be reverted because of causing boards not to load:

• [/strike]Animation Added to execution props

• [/strike]Base prop added from the gallows 

• [/strike]Animation added back on traps

• Animation added back on the bedside table

NOTE HOTFIX: These will be reintroduced once we figure out what was causing the crashes.

Thanks for checking this out!

HOTFIX: We had to remove some animations on the old tiles we included. We are working on fixing these, but hopefully no more crashes. BUILD-ID: 19420869 - Download Size: Win / Linux 87.0 MB / Mac OS 90.9 MB

Today's update fixes a bug where you could move products through tools (?!) under certain circumstances.

Fixed yet another game breaking bug that crashed the game during the Shadow Gang fight in the final story mode chapter.

It's been just a month since launch and we’ve already rolled out Play as a Duo, 2+1 Matching, and over 100 bug fixes and improvements based on your feedback and we aren't stopping here!

Now, Starstruck takes the next leap with:

• A brand new Adventure Game mode

• Ace Everstar: a new Hero to master

• Across-the-board combat and pacing improvements

Below is an overview of what major changes are in the update, so you can jump in straight away! Want to read all the details? Read the full patch notes with ALL the changes here:

Adventure Mode is a high-stakes run through all of Kru - your ultimate test of survival, strategy, and endurance. In The Frozen Path, your team battles across five unique regions within Kru to reclaim the stolen Evercore Fragments. Longer runs, bigger risks, and wild, game-breaking builds await!

Adventure mode is now the featured mode of the game, meaning that you can play in any way you want – join Solo Queue to find a party, try 2+1 Matchmaking, Play premade as Duo/Trio or of course play in Solo Mode.

Let’s see how far you can go!

 

Of course it wouldn’t be the Starstruck update without the star of the show himself, Ace Everstar!

Ace is a gunslinger who shoots enemies with his dual blasters as well as his razor sharp wit. He’s a fluid ranged attacker who can dial in targets for maximum damage via his unique Nemesis system!

How will you play him?

 

We’re rolling out version 1 of our planned improvements to combat and game flow!

For combat feel, we’ve tuned all hero animations to make combat smoother, improved input, and added more impact to hits across the board.

We’ve also rebalanced pacing across the board - you’ll tear through enemies faster now, but there'll be more challenging moments, which will be tighter and more intense.

We’ve reworked Hero healing and enemy damage to smooth out spikes and open up new team comp options. With Health Orb drops, you’re no longer locked into running a Support - take risks and get creative with the full hero roster!

We’ve worked so hard to get this update out to you in such a short time, and we hope you’re as excited about as we are. Let us know what you think in the comments or on Discord!

See you in Lumerea!

Hey everyone,

As PEP nears the end of its third year on the platform, we regret to announce that the PEP servers will be shutting down on October 1st, 2025.

It’s was a wonderful time building the story, adding content, and coming up with all the silly little features that made PEP what it is. we here at Tybug Studios are incredibly proud of what we created and excited for what’s next, both in this genre and beyond.

Until shutdown, existing players who already have a license on Steam can continue playing as usual. However, PEP will no longer be available to new users.

Thank you all so much for playing, sharing, and supporting PEP over the years. We can’t wait to bring you even more fun and exciting games in the future.
