Everwind News

Hello Explorers!

As 2025 comes to a close, we can’t help but look back and say : “wow, what a year it’s been!” When we kicked off 2025, we were just starting to peel back the curtain and show you what we’d been cooking up for Everwind. And since then, things have really taken flight.

Over the year, we introduced a whole bunch of core features, including:

• Brand-new biomes to explore
  
• Our combat mechanics
  
• Flying ships
  
• Items like the Magical Compass, Glider, Longview, and a variety of weapons
  
• Magic, alchemy, and rune crafting
  
• Plants, farming, and cozy green vibes
  
• Markets and trading systems
  
• And, of course, new enemies to keep you on your toes
  

But the journey didn’t stop there. In October, we hit a huge milestone with the release of our first demo. This gave us invaluable feedback on core gameplay, dungeon exploration, performance, and bug fixing; and your responses were absolutely amazing. Your support and enthusiasm have meant the world to us.

Now, we’re already looking ahead. 2026 is shaping up to be a big year for Everwind, and while we can’t spill all the secrets just yet (some surprises are worth the wait 😉),

We’re beyond excited for what’s coming next and can’t wait to keep shaping the world of Everwind together with you.

From everyone at Enjoy Studio, we wish you a wonderful end to the year and a very Happy New Year! 🎉


Here’s to 2026 bringing joy, adventure, and plenty of wind in your sails, we’ll see you in the skies!

Hey Explorers,
As development continues, we’re excited to share a first look at some of the new creatures you’ll encounter across the world of Everwind. Each monster brings its own flavor, mechanics, and surprises to the game’s diverse biomes.

[h2]Raptor[/h2]

Still early in development, the Raptor is set to prowl the dense jungles of Everwind. Beyond its habitat, little has been finalized - but expect a stealthy, canopy-stalking predator that will make every jungle expedition feel dangerous.



[h2]Crab[/h2]
Our crabs come in multiple variants, using barrels or stones as makeshift shells. They can hide inside these shells both in combat and during their everyday wandering.
In combat: They retreat into their shell to reduce incoming damage. Players will need the right tool to break the shell and force them back out.



In the world: While exploring dungeons or the surface, players may stumble upon crabs hidden still and silent - accidentally hitting one may provoke them into a sudden attack.

[h2]Toxic Toad[/h2]
Living deep within the swamp biomes, this bouncy menace leaps around and spits toxic globs in an arcing trajectory. Anyone hit by the sticky projectile becomes poisoned, turning even small encounters into risky battles. Don’t underestimate this slimy ambusher.



[h2]Ents[/h2]
Ents serve as major boss encounters in three distinct biomes:

• Forest
  
• Jungle
  
• Magic Rotten
  

Each Ent stands guard near sacred shrines, protecting the ancient places of power from intruders. Expect a formidable challenge for any adventurer brave enough to disturb their vigil.

And that’s a wrap! Huge shoutout to our amazing community; we’re closing in on 800K wishlists on Steam, and it still blows our minds.



With the year coming to an end, all this support is giving us a massive boost of energy for everything we’ve got cooking for 2025. More reveals, more updates, more surprises… and of course, the long-awaited Early Access dropping in Q1.

Thanks for being on this journey with us; you all make Everwind what it is. 💙

More details will come as development progresses. Stay tuned for more as the world of Everwind grows!

Hey Adventurers!
We're excited to share a preview of Runes, which is a core mechanic in Everwind. These powerful items will let you infuse weapons and armor with magical effects. Here's a glimpse of what's coming:

[h2]What Are Runes?[/h2]
Runes are special items designed to apply magical effects to your gear. For now, they work on chestplates (with plans to expand to other armor pieces in the future). We’re planning at least 13 effects for weapons and 10 effects for chestplates, offering tons of ways to customize your playstyle.

[h2]Rune Types and Quality[/h2]
Runes vary by effect and size/quality, which impacts the strength of the enchantment:
● Fragment: A crafting component, not usable for enchanting directly. Combine fragments to create higher-tier runes.
● Small: The smallest usable rune, applying a basic effect to weapons or chestplates.
● Medium: A stronger version of the small rune.
● Big: An even more potent rune.
● Huge: A near-top-tier rune with impressive effects.
● Perfect: The ultimate rune, delivering the strongest enchantment.



[h2]How to Obtain Runes[/h2]
Here’s how you’ll gather runes in the game:
● Mob Drops: Fragments drop from mobs at lower altitudes. Higher altitudes yield small or medium runes instead. Defeat elite, legendary, miniboss or boss enemies to obtain them.
● Loot: All sorts of runes can be obtained from special chests. The best loot is found at the highest altitudes.
● Crafting: Combine 5 fragments to craft a small rune, 5 small runes for a medium rune, and so on, up to the perfect rune.
● Processing Station: Recycle enchanted weapons or chestplates at a processing station to extract resources and obtain fragments or runes of the corresponding size.



[h2]How to Apply Runes[/h2]
Enchanting will be intuitive:
1. Hold a rune in your hand and select "Use."
2. A window will show your eligible weapons or chestplates.
3. Choose an item and provide the required additional crafting component (the enchanting cost).
4. The rune and component are consumed, and your item gains a magical effect based on the rune’s size.



This is just a preview of the Runes system, and we’re still fine-tuning it for launch. Stay tuned for more updates as we get closer to release! What do you think of this enchanting system? Share your thoughts below!
