Erannorth Renaissance News

Hi folks!

The next major content update, the Doven update, is coming along well and should arrive around mid-March or early April. This update brings two big additions: the introduction of Sandbox mode and full modding support. And, of course, there’s Doven itself, which will let you get your hands on some high-tier equipment and take on tougher, higher-level enemies.





If you're curious and want an early look, you can hop onto the beta branch, which currently has build 0.6.53. This includes the full modding suite and an experimental version of Sandbox mode. In Sandbox, you start fresh in Llanford without being tied to the main story. Since you’ll be on your own and wandering into the wilds would likely get you killed, I’ve made it easier to recruit a few NPCs around town to join your party.

There’s still a lot of work to be done on Sandbox, and even if it’s not your thing, plenty of improvements from this update will carry over into the story mode as well. I’ll share more details on Sandbox as things progress, but for now, let’s talk about modding.

In the live build (the version most of you have), you can already tweak and add artworks, as well as create and override combat actions, perks, and actors. I’ve mentioned this before, and if you’ve spent some time with the modding tools, you might have noticed that some items in the tools menu were color-coded green or red. That was to show what could be modded and what couldn’t.

With the new build, though, everything is now up for grabs. You can create your own bands, add new places in towns, customize placeables, set up unique quest states, and even create custom codex entries for species or whatever else you need.



On top of that, Ink script is now fully integrated. This lets you build your own interactive stories, with Lua extensions and autosyncing variables that let your narrative interact with the game world. How does it work? Just drop your Ink files into the Inklets folder of your mod, and call them from wherever they need to be triggered. Is it part of a conversation with an actor? Maybe it’s a standalone story? Or something tied to a place or a book? It’s up to you.



In short, if you can imagine it, you can probably mod it—all using the provided tools, and without needing to write any code. You can enjoy your creations locally or share them on the Steam Workshop for everyone to check out.

That’s all for now! We’ll be talking more about the Doven update in a future development journal. If you’ve got any questions or suggestions, I’m all ears.

Have fun, and thanks so much for your support and for reaching out with bug reports, ideas, and feedback—whether it’s by mail, Steam, or Discord. It’s always appreciated!

Hi folks,

This update brings a ton of new content, features, and improvements to make your adventures even better. It’s one of the biggest updates so far, laying the foundation for a more dynamic and immersive world. The tech behind it has been in the works for a while, and with so many interconnected changes coming together, it made more sense to get it into your hands now rather than leave it sitting in development limbo while I finish the Marsh events. Releasing it at this stage keeps the momentum going, allows me to refine things based on your feedback, and helps push forward to the next big steps even faster.

So, what’s this update really about? Sure, there’s Denham, but there’s not much to do there just yet. New actions and weapon specials, and yes, there’s a long list of patch notes—but where does that actually leave us?

In many Choose Your Own Adventure games—and, let’s be honest, most RPGs—the world and its NPCs exist solely to serve the main character. NPCs have no real lives of their own. They may pretend to be busy, follow scripted actions, or even die when the story demands it, but beyond that, they remain static.

This update attempts to changes that.

What if NPCs decided to go on their own adventures? What if bandits raided each other instead of just waiting for you? What if vampire hunters tracked and fought other undead instead of standing around until you showed up?

That’s exactly what this update introduces—a world where NPCs act independently, creating a dynamic, unpredictable experience. The result? A beautiful kind of chaos and a deadly dance of survival, where only the fittest grow stronger.

Will you let the bandits grow unchecked, allowing them to become an even greater threat? Or will you take them down before they do? Maybe you’d rather become an outlaw yourself and rob those pesky adventurers instead. Or perhaps you’ll take a different path—playing your lute by their campfire and earning a living through song.



Of course, you remain in control. You can adjust how much chaos unfolds in your world by setting the number of active hostile and neutral factions. A new combat difficulty slider allows you to fine-tune the challenge to your preference.



This update includes various UI improvements, bug fixes, and other quality-of-life enhancements in addition to these major changes.





In any case, you can check out the full patch notes below! Since they may contain a few spoilers, I tucked them behind the updated roadmap.

With this update arriving earlier than I anticipated, the next update will get some extra time and attention. This means I’ll be able to fully flesh out the rest of the Marsh events I am writing and revisit existing areas with even more content.

Have fun exploring the new update, and as always, I’d love to hear your thoughts! If you have any questions, feedback, or just want to share your experiences, feel free to reach out. Enjoy the adventure, and happy gaming!



[h2]Patch Notes - 10/02/25 # 0.6.45[/h2]

[h3] Bug fixes [/h3]

• Tweaked the Attack & Utility action highlighting algorithm to prevent certain enemies from being incorrectly untargetable due to terrain obstacles.
  
• Multiple elemental damage stacks will now accumulate on the same target instead of replacing the previous one.

• Fixed an issue where Sheela was not using the correct dialogue in Harronwell Manor.
• TurnToVampire lua will now correctly grant the actor the Feed action if they don't already have it.
  
• Fixed a few typos in the Forest events pack.
  
• When the event randomizer selects the fallback event where nothing happens, it is now presented more immersively.
  

[h3] Roaming Bands [/h3]

• Member levels are now more varied and scale in difficulty your combat difficulty Settings.
  
• Roaming band levels are now capped based on the region:
  
  
  1. Emerald Basin (Max level 5)
  2. Llanford (Max level 6)
  3. Glenwood (Max level 8)
  4. Keywick (Max level 8)

  14. Witherfen Bog (Max level 20)
  15. Doven (Max level 24)
  + a difficulty-based modifier that applies to each enemy.
  
• Considering there isn't a level cap for the PC party, eventually, you can out-level the outlaws of every region, shifting the balance as the hunter becomes hunted. Roaming enemies will avoid advancing toward the player's group if their leader's level is 2 levels lower.
  
• Speaking of hunters, Vampire Hunters were added as roaming bands. Vampires now have a chance to encounter them while traveling at night. They are incredibly lethal, but losing to them will not result in final death. Instead, it will trigger one of the random defeat scenarios. They also eradicate any other undead or vampires that come along their way.
  
• Tweaked and improved the spawn and band movement algorithms.
  
• Bandit leaders will now drop Grim Trophies, which can be exchanged with local authorities for coin and regional fame.
  
• Neutral Adventurer Bands that travel between towns were added. They won’t interact with the player unless the player chooses to engage with them through a world action, such as Diplomatic Exchange or Skirmish. If they cross paths with hostile bands, they'll fight them, and if victorious, they'll increase their renown and combat experience.
  
• If hostile bands are nearby, they will engage neutral bands and defeat them, increasing their notoriety and improving their experience.
  
• Hostile bands may pillage the countryside, increasing their wealth and power.
  
• Treating neutral bands with open hostility will provoke them into hostility and combat.
  
• Robbing or killing neutral bands will increase your Notoriety.
  
• Hostile bands can now get generated outside the town, even if the player is on one.
  
• While the player is safe in towns, hostile bands worldwide will actively pursue and destroy other hostile bands based on their faction, strengthening over time.
  

[h3] New Content [/h3]

• I added a new arena in Denham (which has the exact requirements as Valetport).
  
• I added a courier's outpost in Denham. You can now pick up deliveries from and to Denham.
  
• Added a Bowyer in Valetport
  
• Added Denham's Merchants
  
• Added a few Marsh-specific Events (more to come at a later time)

• Added 30 unique backstories & their related background perks.
  
• Barracks were added in Valetport, Ashwick, and Denham.
  
• New & Updated Overworld Actions:
  
  • Diplomatic Exchange (cooldown 4 turns): You can Parley with a hostile band within 2 hex tiles. A successful attempt allows you to avoid the encounter entirely, while failure leads to combat.
    
  • Skirmish (cooldown 8 turns): You can ambush a hostile band within 2 hex tiles. Success eliminates the band, giving you some rewards, while failure means they evade your ambush and remain on the map. The rewards gained from Skirmish don't include any potential secret drops.
    
• A Combat Difficulty slider was added to the Settings UI. You can choose from 7 different settings, with a preview detailing the affected enemy stats.
  
• Added new settings for the number of Hostile and Neutral Bands that can spawn at a given time. The default is set to 2 for both.
  
• Losing to the Shadows in Emerald Basin will now trigger a custom defeat scenario. While it has ramifications, it is not a game over.
  
• Losing to Dravienne's Coven in Llanford's Catacombs will trigger a custom defeat scenario. While it has ramifications, it is not a game over.
  

[h3] Misc [/h3]

• Added a copy button to copy visible portrait names to the clipboard.
  
• New actor tag 'Monstrous': forces actors to follow a stricter, more biased progression when leveling up. Their SP converts to HP, their PP is spent exclusively on tag-based perks, and any unspent PP is converted into combat bonuses.
  
• New passive: Exploration Range x increases the FOW tiles revealed by x. (By default, your character uncovers adjacent tiles up to a range of 2. Any additional Exploration Range +x increases this radius, allowing you to reveal more tiles beyond the default limit.)
  
• In the actor's editor, a search field was added to find specific portraits.
  
• Expanded the HexTileEditor to allow the creation of regions on the world map.
  
• I added a new shell command, 'StartConversation.'
  New Lua extensions: ThisEncounter, ThisEncounterResolve, ThisEncounterRewards, and ThisEncounterSpoils enable working with bands while in Conversation mode. ExchangeAll mass-exchanges items for scripted rewards.
  
• Tweaked various game layouts.
  
• Slightly increased the log size in the story UI.
  
• Increased stash & description space & added icon filters for each slot category in the inventory UI.
  
• I've tweaked the buttons in the barter UI: when in loot containers, the "Loot All" button is more prominent and automatically closes the container.
  
• The camp action is now an overworld action and will not trigger if there are enemies within a 3-tile radius. Instead, a warning will be displayed.
  
• The skip time button is now more prominent and is located in the former spot of the camp button.
  
• Be careful when skipping time! You will now skip turns, and enemies may spawn, move, and even attack you!
  
• While skipping time, you can click the "Stop" button to interrupt the process. This will play one final turn before returning control to the MC.
  The action currently taken will now also be displayed in World and Downtime states to improve visual feedback of other actors' actions or when skipping time.
  
• The spoils will now appear in a loot container when resolving a skirmish.
  
• After finishing a move, the fog of war is revealed instantly instead of on the following action.
  
• Removed the Encounter settings from the Journal. (You can now use the Game settings to set combat difficulty)
  
• OnDefeat: ConversationId can be used as an encounter reward to trigger a specific defeat scenario instead of a generic one.
  

Hi folks!

I'm excited to share a sneak peek at the upcoming Denham update! Many of these features have been in development for a while in the background, and they’re almost ready for you to try. The full update will bring even more exciting additions, but it will be released when it's fully ready—likely earlier than usual, though still a little ways off.

The update is shaping up well, and you can preview what's coming by checking out the beta branch. I'll continue adding content to the beta as we move toward the fourth major update. There's plenty to look forward to, along with practical improvements.

That said, expect some bugs in the beta. I highly recommend starting a new save while testing the new content.

The biggest new feature in this release is a major improvement to roaming bands. I've reworked their behavior to offer a more balanced and engaging challenge on the world map. Now, member levels vary more and scale in difficulty based on your encounter settings, with each region having its own level cap. In regions like Denham and Bedale, you'll notice that roaming bands are now tougher and more dynamic. Even more interesting, there are new mechanics where roaming enemies will avoid advancing if their leader's level is two levels lower than your party's, allowing the hunter to become the hunted. In addition to these changes, we've introduced neutral adventurer bands that travel between towns; they won't interact with you unless you choose to engage them through actions like Diplomatic Exchange or Skirmish, though open hostility can provoke them into combat. Vampire Hunters have also joined the mix, adding an extra layer of tension during nighttime travels. These hunters are lethal, but if you lose against them, it triggers a random defeat scenario rather than a final death.

This, for example, is a neutral band traveling along a waypoint from Llanford to Heygrove.



Let's focus on just the choices. I can either let them be or choose to interact with them through a skirmish or a diplomatic exchange.



A successful skirmish can completely eliminate a band, while failure may still offer a chance to escape. On the other hand, failing a diplomatic exchange will, in most cases, lead to combat.



Depending on the type of band, you’ll have different options for dealing with them.



And there's even more, as outlined in the patch notes below. I know February is a busy month for gaming, but if you have time to test these additions, it'd be awesome. :)

Thank you for your continued support—I can't wait for you to try the beta! As always, your input is invaluable, so let me know what you think as you dive into the new Denham update.

Hi folks, as expected after a large content update, we have our first hotfix. While it’s not directly related to the update, it addresses a serious issue that could potentially affect your party’s stats.

The problem involved moving actions with passives to other characters in your inventory, which could incorrectly deduct these bonuses—even if they weren’t equipped—resulting in penalties for the trading character.

This has now been fixed to ensure your party stats remain intact. Thanks for your patience and continued feedback!

Hotfix - 28/01/25 # 0.6.29

• Fixed an issue where moving actions with passives to other characters in your inventory would unequip their bonuses, even if they weren’t equipped.
  
• Fixed an issue that prevented transitioning to the Perks tab from the Journal tab during the character creation preview.
  
• Fixed an issue in the Perk UI where actions were being previewed as the MC instead of the actor in focus, potentially leading to misleading efficiency estimates.
  
• Fixed an issue where the MC was unable to talk to Ludo in his hideout after completing the new encounter.
  
• Dismissing Ludo and Sheela from the party will now occur in the background to prevent confusion.
  

Hi folks,

Ashwick, the third major update, is now live on the public branch! This update brings a wealth of new content, features, and improvements to enrich your adventures.

While I’ve worked hard to ensure everything is as polished as possible, the scale of this update means there may still be a few lingering bugs—though hopefully nothing game-breaking. That said, the sheer number of changes and fixes far outweighs any minor issues that might be hiding in the shadows. And what better way to uncover them than by sharing the update with everyone? ^^

If you missed the preview post, here’s a quick overview of what’s new:

First off, the Hollow Prize storyline now has a proper conclusion—no more cliffhanger! You can pick up right where you left off at tile 22,31. Forest tiles now include plenty of new events, and you’ll find unique urban events for Friend NPCs. On that note, Friend NPCs can now become Lovers.

NPC interactions have been significantly expanded. You can now spar with them, pick their pockets, or even team up for a heist. If your bond is strong enough, you can recruit them to join your party.

In camp, new interaction options allow you to deepen your connection with companions—connections that might just make the difference between life and death for some of them.





I’m also introducing Werewolves as a playable species. They come with unique traits, including immunity to vampirism.





You’ll also find new job options, from running errands and delivering letters to more clandestine tasks that come with their own rewards.



Arena fights now grant ranks that unlock tougher challenges and better rewards. For top-tier gladiators, there’s even a new arena in Valetport.

Beyond that, this update adds 118 new perks, 37 new actions, a host of tweaks and fixes to improve the overall experience, and introduces more combat encounters to keep things fresh and engaging.







Balance remains a work in progress and will continue to evolve throughout early access. If you encounter any perks that feel too lackluster—ones you’d never consider purchasing even if they fit your build—or any actions that seem too overpowered or underwhelming, please let me know! Your feedback is invaluable, and I’ll always take the time to consider and reflect on it.

I’m also curious to hear your thoughts on the new features. Are there any updates or additions you’re particularly enjoying? Or perhaps some that you feel could use a bit of tweaking? I’d love to hear your feedback!

There’s a lot to dive into, so I hope you enjoy exploring all the new features in Ashwick! Thank you for sticking with me on this journey!

The patch notes below may contain light spoilers, so let's hide them behind the updated Roadmap!
