Today’s update focuses on reducing lag and improving the overall gameplay experience !

Changes :

• The settings menu and its sub-menus are no longer preloaded; they now load when opened and unload once closed.

• The R&D menu is no longer preloaded; it now loads when opened and unloads once closed.
  (Other menus are not affected, at least for now.)

• The crafting info menu is now aligned to the right.

• The Tab menu no longer has priority over active objectives, so it will now be the one that moves.

• Locked banner buttons are no longer preloaded until the corresponding upgrade is unlocked.

Optimization :

• The number of cameras has been reduced thanks to the merging of settings sub-menus.

Added :

• It is now possible to press Escape to close the sub-menus in the settings menu.

Bug Fix :

• Employees are now immediately removed from the Tab as soon as you click “Fire”, allowing you to recruit as quickly as you dismiss someone.

Most of you should see a noticeable FPS boost, especially on lower-end setups. You might experience minor micro-lags when loading menus, but high-end configurations shouldn’t notice any difference.

What a week!

Thank you to everyone who played the Ember & Blade demo, shared your thoughts, streamed, or left a review. We spent the past few days watching your runs, reading every comment, and laughing (and sweating) along with your reactions.

Next Fest has been a huge moment for our team.
We learned a lot, saw where we can do better, and found out what parts of the game truly resonated. After a short breather, we’ll be diving into a full post-mortem and mapping out the road ahead.

Your feedback is already fueling our next steps.
We’re reviewing everything in detail, discussing it as a team, and using it to guide upcoming improvements and updates. Every bit of input helps us make Ember & Blade stronger, and we can’t wait to share our next progress with you.

Thank you again for being part of this journey with us.

The response to the demo means the world to our team, and we’re more motivated than ever to keep building Ember & Blade into something truly special.

Fix for the Unity vulnerability

Hello, this is the WAR OF BANNERS development team.

Based on the feedback we have received from players and our internal discussions, we have decided to fundamentally change the combat system.

While the current real-time combat structure provided tension and immersion, we have also received feedback pointing out the difficulty of precise control and strategic decision-making.

After extensive internal testing and review, the development team has decided to transition to a turn-based combat system.

This change is intended to make the flow of combat clearer and to strengthen tactical decision-making and unit management.
The new turn-based combat system will retain the strengths of the current design while allowing players to carefully plan and execute each action for a more deliberate tactical experience.

The transition work is currently underway, and more detailed information will be shared through future development notes.

Thank you.



We will continue to add new features and content to provide a richer experience for our players.
Your feedback plays a crucial role in our development process, so we greatly appreciate all your thoughts and suggestions.
