Thank you for the launch support. I am locking the early roadmap to tighten combat, add one new weapon path, a new boss fight, and a new finesse skill+ boss. Below are concrete milestones with target dates. If anything slips, I'll communicate early.

---

• New weapon: Flail — imposes Parry/Block penalties to defender. Hard to use.

• Balance/QoL: clearer hit/miss feedback, minor UI Polish, avoiding some slog fights when weapons break.

• Bugfixes: armor still protecting after being destroyed, enemy weapons breaking but dont being destroyed.

---

• New boss: a mid-tier champion with a unique loot piece.

---

• New skill: Fencing — rewards footwork and precision strikes.

• New weapon: Rapier — fast thrusts, high accuracy, counter-attack synergy.

---

• Performance: faster scene starts on build vs editor.

• Stability: crash/soft-lock fixes prioritized over new content when they appear.

• Community: I’ll read every bug report and balance note.

• Localization: I am watching closely the reception of the game across different countries. I will consider localization to those well represented across the playerbase.

---

• Post your bugs/ideas in the Discussion!

• Share a clip (10–20s) of a brutal or clutch moment—those help a ton.

• If you’re enjoying it, consider a short review; it genuinely moves the needle.

UnderRail 2: Infusion Steam page is official up, so you can go ahead and wishlist the game! Also, check out our new 10 minute gameplay video on the store page or on Youtube:

We plan to release the game in Early Access at some point in the future. I do not know the exact date, but if I'd have to guess it should takes us about a year and a half to get all the stuff we want in there. I could be wrong, though, so don't hold me to this. I'll let you guys know months in advance as we get closer to the release.

For our new Steam audience: you can real all the old Infusion dev logs here, while all the new ones will be posted on Steam as well.

So go ahead, wishlist the game, if it looks like something you'd enjoy playing and also spread the word about it, it helps a lot.

That's it for now. In the coming weeks we have some work to do on Underrail 1 (check it out on Steam as well) as it's nearing its 10 year anniversary, but after that we're going back into Infusion trenches with Early Access as our next big goal.

In the meantime, be sure to follow me on X, where I post smaller tidbits of development regularly.

Cheers!

Welcome to Playtest Patch 0.10. This patch is packed with content and improvements. I hope this patch will be a solid foundation for game mechanism - and I can build upon it for future content release.


Frigate class ship is here: with new weapon type - drones. It has 10 new weapons. All ship blueprints have been extended to Frigate class, which has 40 more modules (110 in total). Catalysts, Directives and Add-ons (more on that later) now include Frigate class.




In my previous post, I have talked about the rationale for the add-on crafting system. To sum up:

• Basic add-ons are acquired from battles
  
• Advanced add-ons can only be crafted using a recipe
  
• Each ship class unlock basic add-ons and recipes

With this crafting system, the add-on value in the peace treaty has been adjusted as well. Previously, an add-on of the current ship class was worth 50 peace treaty score (PTS), the previous class was worth 25 PTS, N-2 class was worth 12.5 PTS, and so on. Now, an add-on of the current ship class is still worth 50 PTS, and add-ons from all previous ship classes are worth 40 PTS.


To help with managing an increasing number of modules and add-ons, those two UIs have been revamped to add a grid view and search function.



Add-on mechanisms have been standardized: they now have unconditional targets (which is always effective) and conditional targets (usually within a range, and is effective when the condition is met). This is basically how most add-ons works already. Now this information is presented in a tabular format, which should make it easier to read




A new HP bar animation has been added to indicate the damage that a module has taken. Given that damage numbers have to be combined to make it readable, the new animation should indicate individual damages.




From this patch on, I am publishing a web build for the playtest. If using Steam is inconvenient, you can also try the game on web: https://spaceshipidle.fishpondstudio.com/

To prevent spam and bots, online features for web version are only available after 48 hours. Steam version is still better because it runs in the background (this is a browser limitation) and it allows transitioning from playtest/demo to early access release.

Cheers,
FishPond

DOG WITCH is almost here and we can’t believe it’s real.

we’re celebrating launch with a live party on Wednesday, Nov 5th at 10AM Pacific / 6PM CET.

We’ll be streaming right here on Steam and hanging out with everyone on Discord too!!!

Expect some gameplay, special guests, uninvited guests, maybe dogs, and maybe a few emotional weird noises from the dev team.

Thank you for following DOG WITCH all this time. We can’t wait to share this moment with you. 💫
