• The historic streets of a fantastical 1930's Tokyo.

• A unique cast, enhanced from the original experience with full VO.

• Fight alongside demon allies in real-time battles.

It's been a crazy last few weeks and we enjoyed showing everyone what we've been up to.

Cirno wins her first award at DreamHack Atlanta 2025; The 1st Place - Audience Choice Award. Thank you everyone who voted for Cirno and all the feedback in the game. With an attendance rate of over 40,000, it's a huge honor to be given such trophy. We also got an entire list of bugs/features we need to add and we can't wait for you all to play the next update.

Speaking of the next update, we showed off the next boss; Patchouli Knowledge!

This stage is our meanest level yet containing difficult maze routing, outlandish gimmicks, and retro challenges featuring the maze. Do you think you can handle the Labyrinth of the Scarlet Devil Mansion Library? More details on the next patch will be announced in the upcoming weeks.

Finally, It's time to start gearing up for the launch of Touhou Danmaku Maze and the eventual release sometime next year. This means we are lining up our events to continue showing off our game to everyone including Games Done Quick in Pittsburgh, PA! We can't wait to show off our game to such a unique hardcore audience in person. Cirno is ready cause winter is coming!!!

Once again, thank you all for joining us on this journey. Our next update is still far away but I would expect it to be similar to our last update. Stage 3 has gotten a lot of visual updates and Stage 4 is going to be a treat. We are also currently working on our next unique collaboration but it'll be some time until it gets announced.

Added Steam Achievements to the game-- which should largely unlock retroactively if you have made progress in the game and/or completed it!

Additionally, an initial round of performance optimizations are included, more to come!

Thank you to everyone continuing to share feedback and report issues. Build 151 focuses on early-game accessibility, improved challenge visibility, and quality-of-life adjustments based on player feedback.

Changes

• Challenge Visibility: Players can display active challenges while in camp.
  

• Destiny Card Pricing: Reduced gem cost of early Destiny cards to make them more accessible for new players. This makes it easier to experiment with different builds earlier in progression.
  

Thank you to everyone sharing thoughts and feedback in the forums. We’re continuing to monitor early-game balance and player progression data closely as we prepare for future updates!

This is a small update to solve some of the issues related to the Trafalgar Anniversary Update (rebinding, high amount of leaks)

• Rebind of the ship controls now working properly. Before only player rebinds and overall control rebinds were working, not the ship controls rebinding (in the editor tests all rebinds worked but not in the build)

• Button to reset all controls to the default bindings

• New hull piercing simulation based on real cannonball penetration tests from 19th century (see "Aide-mémoire d'artillerie navale" by Lafay, Jules Joseph)

• Hull thickness (and therefore resistance) is higher on below the waterline than the upperworks, as was the case for real ships. This shall make the amount of holes below the waterline more realistic

• Improved water collision detection of cannonballs, to reduce deep underwater hits. Some few projectiles were detecting too late to be underwater and were hitting the hulls at higher speed than expected under water.

• Cannonball will bounce on water when hitting the surface at shallow angle

• Reduced flow of already patched leaks to make them more manageable

• Correction of messages about repairs, to indicate correctly when all hits below the waterline are repaired ( avoids repeated message "Leak repaired, 0 leaks remaining" )

• Port repairs will repair already patched leask too (patched leaks were not being repaired before)

• NPC ships (including prizes) will use pumps and emergency repairs

• Interaction panel for NPC ships now will appear comepletely on screen (when choosing an interaction with a ship at the border of the screen, a part of the panel was out of the screen)

Hi everyone!

Just did a little hotfix, below are the changes:

• Fixed a bug that made it such that screenshake still happened while in menus

• Fixed bug that made it such that loot you had at over the 9th slot didn't function properly

• Fixed a bug that caused pricing to sometimes be incorrect

• Fixed bug that allowed you to do negative damage if you had certain loot

A new official map called Rome is included in this update. It's designed for 4 to 8 players and features an open employee area, lots of zones for robbers to transition from customer to employee clothing, and three vaults.

Inside the Upper Vault players will find a new Silver Cart object, which is too heavy to be looted and stashed inside the usual money bags. Robbers instead will have to push the cart towards the nearest escape van, adding a new layer to their heists.

This update also contains a brand-new robber class called Deaddrop. This breach class is currently only available when selecting the "Experimental" class pack and features a Briefcase Operated Bot, or BOB for short. BOB will drive towards the nearest vault to blow it up, and hide inside his briefcase if he gets spotted by a cop on the way there. While hiding inside his briefcase, he can't be damaged, forcing cops to break line of sight first to bait him out of hiding, before being able to shoot him.

Deaddrop can also hide money inside boxes, which will reward him with some interest on the money and reduced BOB cooldown, depending on the amount of money he currently has stored away.

The Swarm cop class has also received some changes, his Sweep-O cleaning robots are a lot smarter, and can now target Mechanic's barrel bombs as well as Madman's IED, rewarding Swarm with new Idea Spark resources each time they extinguish a fire or defuse a bomb, allowing him to spawn more gadgets mid-round. He has also been moved from the "Experimental" to the "Specialists" character pack, and his Winrate Stats as well as Steam Leaderboards are now online.

There are also lots of other smaller balance changes and bugfixes in the full changelog below:

• added new robber class "Deaddrop"

• added new map "Rome"

• added new cart that needs to be pushed to an escape van to deposit its silver bars
