Boyfriend Dungeon news & patch notes

Hey sword smoochers!

It's been a few years now since Boyfriend Dungeon came out, innovating the field of weapon-based romance, but I thought I'd let you know that here in the summer of 2025 we still have ideas for how to stay cool, yet turn up the heat.

1 - Share beautiful sword photos with your friends. Who wouldn't love to get a picture of a gorgeous espada hilt? It helps me get through MY day when people share their favorite weapons in the #boyfriend-dungeon channel of the Kitfox Discord, I know that much.

2 - Attend your local Pride events. I guarantee you someone there has a cool sword and also is ready to make a new friend.

3 - Appreciate the beauty of shape-shifting of all kinds. From caterpillars turning into butterflies to teenagers turning into superheroes, there's love in the air and magic all around if you look closely.

Nova Hearts just came out yesterday and can get you some of that fix, now with a discount if you also own Boyfriend Dungeon via the lil cross-promo Steam bundle!

4 - Try wielding your favorite sword in your off-hand. Both you and the weapon can enjoy this new sensation while taking it slower and staying safe.

5 - Daydream about the weapon hoard you might accumulate while living your life in Fortuna, the next game by Kitfox. Although bladed weapons are usually forbidden to carry in the city, that just makes them more sexy to me, if I'm honest, and I don't think I'm the only one...

I know this isn't your yearbook, but I'm still gonna sign off Have a Great Summer because I really hope you do (or winter, if you're in the southern hemisphere). Wishing you all the joy and love a person could hold.

Til next time,

Tanya

Kitfox Announced a New Game Too?

Kitfox Reflects

• Achievements should now be less prone to error and actually fire correctly if all equipment and gifts received.
• The content warning translation has been updated to match the English improvements.
• If you receive enough experience to reach level 51, the dungeon should now still function correctly.
• If you get a Game Over during a date, reloading should now function correctly.
• If you previously received a Game Over during a date, that save file should also now function correctly.
• (Uncertain) Crafting text should get cut off/masked/hidden less often now.
• You can no longer get stuck in phase 3 of the final boss fight (or after the boss fight) by doing damage to people or enemies that were meant to be invulnerable.
• Using the Phoenix Cap during the final boss and then losing should now give you a new Phoenix Cap during your re-attempt.

• The content warning has been updated with stronger language to reflect the game more accurately. (English only -- translations will follow)
• Changed Halo to give more healing from beverages, rather than resurrect once.
• Removed unnecessary reference to still-birth.
• If your Windows is in Korean, it will no longer launch the game into an unfinished Korean translation.
• If Vegan, Estoc will cook a scramble for you instead of eggs. (voice line still says eggs for now)
• (Uncertain) The Cap recipe may now function correctly.
