First the big and important stuff.

Granser will release in 3 parts.

Act 1, 2, and 3.

This is sadly unavoidable now.

The good news?
Act 1 will release on March 25th of 2026.

To showcase the massive progress since the demo, here is a brand new trailer.

I will talk in detail about current plans, but for now this will have to do.

Hotfix v1.2.9
Fix, menu, prologue button take player to supporter level
Fix, all around you, client cannot hear the music

Fix, boss 466, player attack rate is limited now
Change, Dadouken, harder to find, only one hint
Change, Dadouken, if it hit player directly, the player die
Change, gpu crash, the screen become darker
Change, math question, if one player answer wrong, everyone die now
Change, texture 666, remove some and make some smaller

Only your flashlight can briefly expose cloaked enemies so they can be shot down. It's also the only part in the game where the gun is more powerful!

Try it in the Blast Rush LS Demo!

Hi there, we hope you’ve had a wonderful Next Fest!

We’ve been reading your feedback and working on some general bug fixes for the demo:

• Fixed an issue where Wolfe would fail to join the party again after a game over.

• Fixed an issue where using an item would sometimes heal enemies instead of the player.

• Fixed a softlock caused by quitting episode 1 and immediately starting over.

• Fixed a softlock in the treasure/power up menu. It wouldn’t spawn the accept button if you changed resolutions in settings.

• Fixed an issue with controllers that would invert enemy targets selection, if there were 3 or more in the battle.

• Added a new action total feature, where you can see how much damage your action will inflict if it’s normal, weak, or resist.

• Added letter-boxing for ultra wide resolutions, maintaining the correct aspect ratio of 16:9 the game was designed for.

• Fixed undefeated run appearing as 0 in episode end results, when it should display the bonus value.

• Fixed the SP button spawning a placeholder button icon during tutorials if you used a mouse.

• Fixed challenge mode special conditions repeating for all combats in the same map.

• Fixed challenge mode special condition that inflicts bleed with weaks, now affects all actors.

• Fixed a rare instance where the dark overlay of the pause menu would remain active after closing the pause menu.

• Fixed Ringo’s landing animation smoke VFX. The Shader displayed a border around the smoke that looked very weird.

• Fixed an issue with the combat deed “First turn finish”. It would occasionally reward the player with honor even after several turns passed.

That's it for today. As always thank you for playing, and please share your feedback so we can improve the game even further!
