Development Priorities | May 2024

Greetings Realmwalkers,

As Early Access continues we’ve updated our Development Priorities with some key areas of focus over the next few months.



We continue to welcome feedback as we continue to improve and expand Nightingale during Early Access. Jump into our Discord or head to our feedback board and let us know about your time in the Faewilds. 

0.2.1 Changelog | Server Maintenance Complete

Realmwalkers,

Our server maintenance has concluded and our servers are now back online!

Please update your game to access the Realms once again. It's recommended to restart Steam/Epic or verify your game files to make sure you're on the latest version. The game version will also now appear in the main menu when you start the game.

Creator Spotlight: Kiitarie

Hey there Realmwalkers!

Since we launched into Early Access, we’ve had an amazing group of content creators join our Creator Program and start their adventures in the Faewilds. In our Creator Spotlights, we’ll be getting to know some of them a little bit better and let you know what they get up to when they’re not battling Bound in Nightingale. In this edition, we’ll be talking to Kiitarie about gung-ho companions, phobias and her passion for building elaborate estates.

Want to become part of the Nightingale Content Creator Program? Find out more here.



What got you interested in becoming a gaming content creator?
I always wanted to meet new people and have awesome conversations. Content creation checks that box!

How did you become part of the Nightingale community?
I was approached by Inflexion to be part of a small group of content creators to help give feedback on the game. It was such an amazing ride and experience.

What’s your favourite type of content you like to create?
I love to BUILD. My YouTube is entirely related to building in all sorts of games. And my Twitch is almost always some sort of crafting survival adventure.



What’s the greatest part of being a creator?
It all comes back to the reason why I started: meeting new people and having awesome conversations.

Tell us a memorable moment from your time in the Faewilds.
Yelling at Edna (my recruit). It definitely became a thing for my channel. Once she decided to just stab a giant in the toe while I was talking to them…Chaos ensued.

What would you say if you had to summarize what you love about Nightingale to someone who has never played it before?
Nightingale is an open-world crafting survival game, which you will absolutely adore if you are a fan of the genre. TBH if you are a fan of fae anything you should just give it a go.



What are you most looking forward to in the future of Nightingale?
I am looking forward to more of EVERYTHING!! More vaults, more biomes, more fae, MORE BUILDING!

What do you do when you’re not creating content?
Sleep. Drawing tiny pictures for people (emotes). Anything to keep my hands busy and my mind quiet.



Tell us something you’re proud of since you started making content for your channels.
Finally taking that step into YouTube content and getting YouTube partner in just 7(ish) months.

If you could add one feature to Nightingale in the future what would it be?
Creative Mode. I would be able to create way more Nightingale content with a creative mode. Plantable trees and bushes would be great too.

Finally, tell us a random fact about yourself.
I used to be afraid of spiders. So much so, that I left Australia and moved to America to get away from them (just Kidding, I moved to be with my husband).



That’s it for today’s Creator Spotlight. Thanks to Kiitarie for taking the time to chat with us and sorry about all the Faewild spiders. Check out and follow Kiitarie on Twitch and YouTube.

Don’t forget to stay up to date with the latest news from Nightingale by following us on socials, and come back here soon for another Creator Spotlight.
