❄ Demo V0.2.2 Patch Notes ❄

We’ve patched up some bugs, rebalanced crafting requirements, and made a few quality-of-life updates. Thanks for all the feedback during the demo!

Gameplay

• Added sanity effects to all foods: eating raw food now reduces sanity, while cooked food restores it.

• Cardboard Matches and Wood Matches can now be equipped like a torch, but only last for one turn.

• Fixed fresh pelt from squirrel and rat not being able to dry on the Drying Rack.

• Fixed crafting recipes that incorrectly used fresh hare/fox pelts instead of the cured versions.

UI/UX

• Fixed Fresh Pelt and Gut items showing the wrong card detail popup (appearing as a large, empty space).

• Updated Cooked Rat Meat to display the correct icon.

• Reduced default sound effect volume from 60% to 40%.

• Lowered volume on overly loud sound effects to be more comfortable.

• Fixed sound effects not playing when starting a campfire or loading Chapter 2.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue where moving cards after applying filters could leave empty slots and sometimes block further progress.

As always, we’d love to hear what you think. Join our Discord and tell us how your latest run went.

• Fixed issues with sheet coagulator not accepting liquid in bottles properly.

In the first month of the war, Ukrainians were horrified by kilometer-long columns of enemy tanks advancing on Kyiv, Kharkiv, and other cities. Various rumors spread among the people, panic raged, and tens of thousands of men and women went to military enlistment offices to join the defense of their country.

Amid all this madness, the Ukrainian army and volunteers did everything they could to stop the enemy.

In those days, the song “Oh, the Red Viburnum in the Meadow”, performed by Andriy Khlyvnyuk on Sofiyska Square of Kyiv, became a symbol of resistance. In 1914, it was the anthem of the Sich Riflemen, and in 2022 it was given a new life.

So I decided to use it as the main theme for the first phase of the 2022 war - the liberation of Northern Ukraine.

Like all other soundtrack melodies, it is performed in 8-bit style. In this track, alongside the main heroic theme, I composed another melody that intersects with the main one but conveys the chaos and tension of those days. In the background, I created an intense “clanking” sound of heavy military machinery.

We apologize for the inconvenience.
Due to a critical issue that required immediate attention, we have just released an emergency update.

・Fixed an issue where the game could become unresponsive on the title screen.
・Fixed an issue where the background music would not play after returning to the title screen following a match.
・In Noble Mode, players will now receive a small amount of EXP and FP upon winning their first match.
*No rewards are given if you lose the first match.

My lovely farmers!

This patch contains mainly bug fixes and small improvements.

• Updated Unity game engine version.

• Improved descriptions for Scrapper, Spreader, Irrigation, Overflow, Big Spender, Beet Salesman, Pumpkin Spice Latte, Sprinkler, Wheat, and Fertilizer.

• Improved tutorial texts, especially their entry animation and font.

• Improved input device auto-detection. From now on, only major navigation inputs (like d-pad navigation for gamepads and arrow keys navigation for keyboards) will trigger input scheme changes. Moving the mouse will still change the input to mouse.

  • This change will allow for combining mouse input with keyboard binds such as \[N] for next day or \[H] for harvest all.

• Fixed bug that caused spawning temporary exhaust Cabbage cards in card packs and supply drops.

• Fixed bugs related to spamming the next day button (mainly on gamepads).

• Fixed the camera not centering on a selected map node (mainly on gamepads).

• Fixed a few game internal errors.

Best,

Besides English, the demo is now available in:

German 🇩🇪

French 🇫🇷

Spanish 🇪🇸

Polish 🇵🇱

Russian 🇷🇺

Japanese 🇯🇵

Chinese Simplified 🇨🇳

If your system is set to one of these languages, it should set the language accordingly; otherwise, it will remain in English. You can manually change the language in the settings menu.

Some parts of certain languages have been improved by community members. However, the translations are certainly not perfect, so please don’t take any offense in that and let me know if you find anything. I’ll try to fix it asap. Overall, I hope for all non-English speakers that this is still an improvement. In the future, for official releases and such, you can expect professional translations for sure.

• Right Click Squad Member "Circle Portraits" in collection window for details

• Right Click Hex Cards on the battlefield to open the character's "Archivum" page

• If characters are equipped with Consumables, they now pop up at the beginning of the turn on the left side as a reminder so they can be used - as they must - before any actions.

• I updated the tips which can be set active in the battlefield scene

• I also added more tooltips & improved some wording

I hope to be soon ready for more updates on release plans etc. For now the Kickstarter release is planned for around the end of September. The additional funds will help to add more battlefields, enemy mobs, item art, campaign mode, and story trailer.

My plan is to hold a permanent closed beta after the campaign until the Early Access launch with regular patches, which will steadily introduce new characters, battles, or mechanics to test and provide feedback.

The current goal is to release into Early Access around April/Mai 2026. I'm also in talks with potential publishers, maybe there will be some updates in this regard too.

If you like to support the project & grab yourself some fancy printed cards, make sure to follow the Kickstarter and get notified: LINK

Have a nice weekend,
