A new quest: Going Through the Potions. Help a group of witch sisters brew a peculiar potion for Vestada's Potion-Off Contest! Start this quest by speaking with Piper in Vestada.

Monster encounters in the first 20 levels of the game are now much more engaging, featuring different enemy aggro types and the addition of ranged mobs. We're experimenting with these changes to make the early-game grind more fun, and we'll be rolling them out to the rest of the game soon.

We buffed the Perfect Draw skill for Archers, increasing the bonus damage at early levels.

We've made several improvements to this game mode based on community feedback. Our hope is that these changes will make the Eternal Moonlit Bastion a more worthwhile and engaging experience for endgame players, and give them more incentive to try out new builds and team compositions, push for highscores, and farm lots and lots of Bastion Points!

We've now completely removed all items that might be considered pay-to-win from the store (that could still be found in some special categories).

• Fixed an issue that made it difficult for Archers and Wizards to hit certain flying enemies.

• Corrected the Fireborn Gear for Archers to display the proper level requirements and tier.

• Fixed a visual clipping bug in the Sakura Blossom set.

• Cosmetic sets now align correctly on the hip and no longer show transparent seams where they connect.

• Fixed a camera bug that caused it to clip through ceilings in the Frozen Moist Glacier.

• The Archer's Rapid Shot and Ultimate abilities now display their intended visual effects.

• 289 accounts have been banned for using modded clients, which is against the Eterspire Rules. Burn!

• Our Discord has surpassed 10,000 members!!! Thank you to everyone in this incredible community!

• Our Halloween Costume Party Contest has ended. Your entries were super creative and absolutely hilarious!

• All event participants have received the 'The Spooky' epithet, and contest winners have received their crystal rewards.

• A new special community event begins later today, with the biggest crystal rewards we've ever given out!

V0.0.28 introduces all missing features that where planned and almost puts the game in alpha mode. All features are present, but still need a lot of content expansion. I have also spent a lot of time on improving combat and movement handling, trying to optimize the experience as much as possible. This build will serve as a last test to see what else I need to optimize/fix before releasing V0.1.

NOTICE - We sometimes might release very small updates to solve 1 or 2 more urgent issues that appeared and not release a patch note for those immediately but add them to bigger update patch notes on following updates

After returning from Gamescom Germany, our next goal was to showcase the long-awaited Collision Combat system to the world. But as every game developer knows, plans have a way of changing, and this time, fate brought us an even bigger stage: Tokyo Game Show 2025.

We began preparing for this event back in March. It took more than six months of coordination, booth design, demo setup, merchandise production, and technical planning to make sure everything was ready for one of the world’s largest gaming shows.

This year, we joined forces with Red Dunes Games, our publisher, whose booth had grown tenfold since last year. And our Nightmare Circus space was a true reflection of the game itself! The booth team faithfully recreated a scene straight out of the game: a circus tent that looked playful at first glance, but upon closer look, carried an eerie and unsettling undertone. Suspended from above were dangling doll parts and ornaments, creating a stage that was both beautiful and haunting — the perfect embodiment of Nightmare Circus.

Inside, we had four demo stations equipped with PS5 controllers, and an additional setup at the Thai Pavilion, supported by DEPA and DITP. The air was filled with laughter, surprise, and the rhythmic crashes of combat, players figuring out their own combos, sometimes screaming in delight when enemies went flying across the screen.

The Red Dunes Games team went above and beyond to create a lively, welcoming atmosphere. There were plushies, acrylic standees, stickers, and posters for players who joined in on booth activities — even premium prizes for the most dedicated visitors. Every corner of the booth radiated excitement, as if we had turned the game’s circus into a real festival.

The first two days were Business Days, filled with partners and media from across the globe. We received incredibly positive feedback! People praised the charming yet mysterious art style and the originality of our combat system. Having two interpreters on-site made everything smoother, from interviews to partner discussions.

Then came the Public Days (Day 3–4) — the true test of our circus. With around 80,000 attendees per day, the booth was constantly packed. Lines stretched beyond our space, and it was surreal to watch players react to every fight, every collision, every satisfying moment. The smiles, laughter, and curiosity made all the hard work worth it. Many players asked if the game would support Japanese, and yes, it will in the full release.

One thing we noticed throughout the event was how Nightmare Circus drew in a diverse range of players. The game’s art and plush characters caught people’s attention first, but it was the chaotic, satisfying combat that kept them playing. Some even came back for a second round just to try new combos!
Seeing our vision of “being the puppet master” come alive in players’ hands was one of the most rewarding feelings we’ve had as developers.

More than anything, though, what made this trip special was the people behind it. We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who supported us: our players, the Red Dunes Games team, the incredible booth construction crew who brought our stage to life, our hardware sponsors who provided five gaming PCs and full gear setups, the DITP team, our merchandise team, and the interpreters who tirelessly assisted us throughout the event.

And most of all, a huge thank-you to the coordination team at Red Dunes Games, who weren’t just organizers but caretakers of everyone at the event. They ensured we always had water, food, giveaways, and — just as importantly — warmth. They constantly checked in with everyone: “Have you eaten? Are your legs okay? Don’t forget to drink water.” They weren’t just looking after us at FairPlay Studios, but everyone in the staff area.

It’s thanks to all these amazing people working behind the scenes that the show ran so smoothly.

Being there as a team, seeing players firsthand, learning from feedback, and standing beside so many passionate creators reminded us why we do what we do. And if we ever have the chance to return next year, we’ll bring even more of our team with us, so they can experience that same spark of inspiration.

From a nightmare stage within the game to a real-world stage in Tokyo, Nightmare Circus has performed its first act!
