The Book of Outcasts News

29.11.2025 News

[p]Hi everyone,[/p][p]Before anything else — here are the latest changes:[/p][hr][/hr][h3]1. Repair Sword Quest[/h3][p]If you have Akakiy’s sword repaired, the Countess will now send you to Dobrinino again.
A sex scene for male Volk is planned there.[/p][p]Important: Please download and install the new patch.rpa if you already had the previous one.
The old version will not work with this update.[/p][hr][/hr][h3]2. Automatic Chinese and Russian Language Detection[/h3][p]The game now checks your Windows language settings and automatically sets Russian or Chinese when applicable.
Some players reported difficulties switching to Chinese manually, so this feature should help.[/p][hr][/hr][h3]3. “E” Key During Save Naming[/h3][p]Pressing E while typing a save name could occasionally open the delete-save menu.
This is now fixed.[/p][hr][/hr][h3]4. Achievements Auto-Grant Issue[/h3][p]A few players received several achievements immediately after starting a new game.
The issue couldn’t be reproduced, but unnecessary persistent files were removed to prevent such cases.[/p][hr][/hr]
One Month After Release
[p]It has now been about a month since release, and the game has received several updates and fixes.
Many of the launch issues have been resolved, and the overall stability has significantly improved.
We’ll continue polishing the game.[/p][p][/p][h2]Outcasts 2:
[/h2][p]We originally planned to begin development of Outcasts 2 immediately after release.
Some graphics and narrative connections are already prepared — such as the Zabava book quest and Dobrinino characters who would play a larger role in the sequel.[/p][p]Since the UI, battle system, and many assets are already in place, developing the sequel would take significantly less time than creating the first game from scratch.[/p][p]For now, our priority is to continue supporting Outcasts 1.
As a small studio, we have to be careful with long-term commitments, so the decision to fully launch production of Outcasts 2 depends on how strongly the first game is received over time.
If the overall reception improves and the audience shows steady interest, we’ll be able to move forward confidently — Outcasts 2 remains our main long-term direction.[/p][p]The Steam page for Outcasts 2: The Book of the Dead is already available if you'd like to keep track of it or add it to your wishlist.[/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][hr][/hr][h2]Other Projects[/h2][p]Alongside our long-term plans for Outcasts 2, we also have two small side initiatives in early planning.
These are low-impact projects that do not replace Outcasts 2 and do not affect the eventual development schedule.[/p][hr][/hr][h3]1. Unity Project[/h3][p]A small technical experiment I’m using to learn Unity.
It’s not story-based, and won’t take priority over any main project.[/p][hr][/hr][h3]2. New Ren’Py Visual Novel[/h3][p]A compact standalone VN we’re preparing in parallel.
It’s a lighter project and won’t interfere with the Outcasts series.
More details soon.[/p][hr][/hr][p]We’ll keep improving the game step by step.

11.11.2025 Update

[p]Hi everyone,
thanks a lot for your patience and for all the feedback you’ve been sending.[/p][p]The game has been updated:[/p][hr][/hr][h3]1. Direct scrolls to Ygraan’s lieutenants[/h3][p]If you don’t enjoy searching for them manually, you don’t have to anymore.
Odette will now give you special scrolls that teleport you close to each lieutenant’s location.[/p][p]Important:
Make sure you also have a teleportation scroll to the Village from the Mystic — otherwise getting back can be quite painful.[/p][hr][/hr][h3]2. Memory Wipe potions[/h3][p]Some players ran into issues with achievements not being granted correctly.
Now this can be fixed with a Memory Wipe potion, which can be bought from the Mystic.[/p]
  • [p]Drinking it removes ALL achievements from your profile.[/p]
  • [p]As a small bonus, it also grants +1 HP.[/p]
[hr][/hr][h3]3. Meat selling bug[/h3][p]The issue with meat being teleported from Bhardadi to the Village when selling is now fixed.[/p][hr][/hr][h3]4. Bogdan quest journal cleanup[/h3][p]Old evidence entries related to Bogdan’s quest are now correctly removed from the Journal.[/p][hr][/hr][h3]5. Crash on sex choice screen[/h3][p]The crash that happened when trying to save on the sex choice screen has been fixed.
You can no longer save there — and you don’t need to.[/p][hr][/hr][h3]6. Hunt with Ekaterina – forest marker[/h3][p]The hunt quest with Ekaterina should now properly show a marker in the forest.
I hope it’s much clearer where you need to go.[/p][hr][/hr][h3]7. Pratima scene after Ape King[/h3][p]The scene involving Pratima’s death that triggers after the Ape King quest should now work correctly.[/p][hr][/hr][h2]Plans for next week[/h2]
  1. [p]“E” key while naming saves
    Sometimes pressing [c]E[/c] while entering a save name opens the delete-save menu.
    I still can’t reliably reproduce this, but I’m working on it.[/p]
  2. [p]Extra Dobrinino quest for the sword
    I’m planning to add an additional Dobrinino quest so you can finally return that repaired sword.
    I’ve seen your frustration about fixing the sword and not being able to do anything meaningful with it — this should help.[/p]
[hr][/hr][p]We’ll keep improving the game step by step.
Thanks again for your support![/p][p]KamtiGames[/p]

The Book of Outcasts is released

[p]Hello everyone!

Finally, we’re here — with the completed game.[/p][p][/p][p]We began The Book of Outcasts four years ago, but the real development started in spring 2024. It’s by far the most complex project we’ve ever made. Combining a visual novel with an RPG dungeon crawler turned out to be a real challenge for our small team.[/p][p][/p][p]And because that wasn’t complicated enough, we decided to add both playable genders — giving you the option to play as either a male or female character.[/p][p][/p][p]Later came another big test: when the “payment processors” issue appeared, we had to reorganize the entire project and remove a lot of content. Graphics, text, animations — once you cut so much, the whole system stops working like before. Sometimes we even had to read through 250,000 words line by line just to remove certain “triggering” terms.[/p][p][/p][p]But despite all that, it was fun. I truly enjoyed reading and reworking the story. Sometimes I couldn’t wait for the next script from the writer just to find out what happens next.[/p][p]
It was also a great learning experience — I even learned 2D animation! When you meet the final boss, you’ll see what I mean.[/p][p][/p][p]As for additional content: if you’d like to get more free extras for the game, please visit our Discord or Telegram — links are available on the game’s Steam page.[/p][p][/p][p]For those who haven’t played our previous Conussia games, we’ve prepared special discounts. I recommend checking the bundle — you’ll get all the titles at a great price and discover the world of Conussia, which will help you understand the background leading up to this story.[/p][p][/p][p]And finally — the future.[/p][p]
We’re already thinking about Outcasts 2. The Steam page is under review, and once it’s approved, I’ll add a widget here. With the UI and combat systems already established, and with our gained experience, development will go much faster this time. Of course, it depends on how this game is received — if players truly want more.[/p][p][/p][p]Looking at your wishlists and your posts, we can see your trust in us — and that means a lot.[/p][p]
Thank you for that!
