[p]Hello Concubiners, [/p][p][/p][p]Just a quick hotfix, in today's update we had an issue that pumpkin decorations were disappeared from decoration mode if you put anywhere, their image in inventory was blank. We released a quick hotfix about that, they will be in decoration vendor for a while more. [/p][p]Here are the options you can do to retrieve them:[/p]

• [p]If you have an auto save you can load that you didn't open in last update. Once you load that, pumpkins will be there.[/p]
• [p]If you don't have that or if it didn't fix the issue, you can sell the current ones in inventory to vendor and buy the new ones back.[/p]
• [p]And if you didn't play the game after today's update, no worries at all. You will be safe.[/p]

[p]We are sorry for the issue caused by this update. Team will keep working to bring a better game to all of our players.[/p]

[p]Hey everyone! 💫[/p][p][/p][p]We’ve reached our third weekly sprint and we’re excited to announce that tomorrow we’ll be releasing the next update! While we’re still in our Early Access journey, this week marks a small shift, we’re starting to slow down the pace just a bit to focus on bigger, more meaningful updates. After next week’s hotfix, we’ll move to a 2–3 week cycle with deeper gameplay, performance and content improvements.[/p][p]But for now, we’ve packed this week’s update with tons of fixes, improvements, and colorful new touches you’ll love. Don’t forget to check out the full list in the detailed Steam post tomorrow.[/p][p][/p][h3]⚔️ Combat and Gameplay Improvements[/h3][p]This week we focused on making the early game experience smoother and a bit more forgiving for new players:[/p]

• [p]Flavius is now slightly easier to defeat. Early random instances and the Caravanserai level have also been tuned down, enemies deal less damage and go down a bit faster.[/p]
• [p]We’re still actively working on improving enemy AI, but for now, you should find the opening battles more approachable and less punishing.[/p]
• [p]As for finding your way around, while the full tutorial isn’t ready yet, we’ve added a few shimmering breadcrumbs to help new adventurers navigate the palace and early quests more easily.[/p]

[p][/p][h3]🧭 Bug Fixes & Optimizations[/h3][p]One of the biggest focuses this week was the ongoing chest item loss issue, and we’ve made major progress:[/p]

• [p]✅ Fixed issue: Players will no longer lose all of their stored items.[/p]
• [p]⚙️ Partial fix: Save data is no longer being duplicated when chests are moved. There is still some unexpected data being saved from unknown sources, which we’re continuing to track down.[/p]
• [p]⚠️ Partial fix: Loading the Palace with a large number of chests (or with a lot of save data) can still cause lag. The reduced save data makes this much less noticeable, but it still needs additional optimization work.[/p]

[p]You will safely rearrange your quarters again (though maybe don’t fill your room with 20 chests just yet 😅). We’ve also cleaned up numerous animation, collision, and lighting issues, expect smoother motion, fewer glitches, and better performance overall.[/p][p][/p][h3]💎 Visuals, Variations & Polish[/h3][p]Our artists, whenever they weren’t busy optimizing assets, went all in this week and added new color variations to several armor sets. [/p][p]You’ll notice new hues for the Amber Warden, Jade Matriarch, Scorpion Warrior, Janissary Apprentice and Silent Vengeance Plate, among others, making loot drops more exciting and diverse.[/p][p]We’ve also improved lighting and materials across multiple locations like the Grand Bazaar, and Rumeli Fortress, giving the world a more vibrant and immersive atmosphere.[/p][p][/p][h3]❤️ Thank You for Your Support[/h3][p]We can’t say this enough, your feedback is shaping the game every single week. Every bug report, suggestion, and kind word helps us move forward. As we transition to a slightly slower (but more powerful) update rhythm, we hope you’ll continue sharing your thoughts and ideas with us.[/p][p]Stay tuned for next week’s hotfix, and after that, some big new updates are on the horizon. Until then, keep exploring, fighting, and building your legend. ⚔️[/p][p][/p][p]With love,
The Team[/p][p]
