Early Access Patch 7 Notes

Hi Awakens,
We’re excited to roll out Patch 7 for Realm of Ink, following the major November update. This patch focuses on addressing new issues that were identified and implementing quick fixes based on player feedback. We’re committed to continuously improving the game, and this update is part of that effort. Here’s a breakdown of what’s included:

Bug Fix:
1. Fixed a bug where General Gor Form's Ability "Frost Blast" could not be triggered when having Azure Dragon Avatar.
2. Fixed a bug when owing Dr. Suen Form's Primordial Ink Gem "Eclosion Carol", picking up Boss Perk "Spirit Seed" would cause the game to crash.
3. Fixed a bug where stray enemies summoned by Perk "Fate Drum" would cause Emperor Puppet to stop summoning enemies.
4. Fixed an error with the description of Cursed Perk "Bloodlust Blade".
5. Fixed some text errors with certain Languages.
6. Fixed a bug where loading save data would cause Ink Pets to have incorrect forms when having Dr. Suen Form's Ability "True Form".

Optimization:
1. Perk "Ink God Edict" now only requires 1 equipped Legendary Ink Gem to trigger the Legendary Perk drop, so that it can be triggered by equipping Primordial Ink Gem.
2. Ink Gem Replacement no longer requires Fox Blood.
3. All Bosses will drop Dumplings as reward.
4. Made some improvements to some of the scene arts.

Thank you for your continued support and valuable feedback. We’ll keep working hard to make Realm of Ink better, so stay tuned for more updates!

Happy adventuring,
RoI Team

Hades style roguelike Realm of Ink is even harder, and better, with new update

I know it might feel like Steam is drowning in Hades-like games, but that just means we're spoiled for choice. Supergiant's roguelike was a landmark moment for the genre, and it seems like everyone has been trying to emulate that success ever since. To me, Realm of Ink is one of the few Hades-inspired games that comes close to that original greatness. Much like Hades 2, this painterly spin on the formula is currently in early access, so if you can pull yourself away from the latest update to Melinoë's adventure, Realm of Ink's new November patch makes the promising game even better.
