Concubine news & patch notes

Hello everyone 🖤

Another Early Access update is ready.

Version 0.4.5 expands the world of Concubine with the Slave Market, our first Tier 11 random instances, a rescue mission for Katarina, major improvements to Custom Pose Mode, and significant changes to the Alamet and Salome boss encounters.

This release also introduces the Pure Intentions Lingerie Set, improves high-level item progression, and includes another round of combat fixes, visual polish, and quality-of-life improvements across the game.

The main character’s combat animations have also received a broad overhaul aimed at reducing stuttering and awkward transitions. The Great Spear now has a completely new animation set, and hand placement has been corrected when using two-handed weapons.

Some of these additions bring immediately visible new content, while others strengthen systems that will continue to grow in future releases.

Let’s take a look at what’s new.

The Slave Market

The Slave Market is now available as a new high-level location, bringing a different atmosphere and encounter style to the world of Concubine.

The level has been built around a dense marketplace environment, complete with its own music, lighting, quests, and progression. During the mission, players will also have the opportunity to find and rescue Katarina.

Unlike many of our previous locations, the Slave Market introduces more vertical pressure during combat. Archers positioned across rooftops and elevated areas add an extra layer of action, forcing players to pay closer attention to their surroundings while dealing with enemies on the ground.

The mission also ends with a two-boss encounter, giving the final section of the level a more intense and memorable conclusion.

Alongside the new location, this release introduces our first Tier 11 random instances. Players exploring this tier will be able to find Carbonite weapons through the newly added loot tables.

Tier 11 armor sets are not included in this release yet. Until they are ready, armor rewards within these instances will provide a larger number of Tier 10 drops. This allows players to begin progressing through the new difficulty tier while we continue developing the remaining equipment.

The Slave Market represents another step toward expanding the game with locations that offer their own atmosphere, combat identity, companions, and challenges.

Pure Intentions Lingerie Set

The Pure Intentions Lingerie Set adds another visual option for players who enjoy creating different looks for their concubine and companions.

It also gives players more variety when using Pose Mode or taking screenshots, whether they are creating staged scenes or simply capturing moments during gameplay.

We know that some players would like to see a wider selection of lingerie in the game, and this set is another step toward expanding that collection over time.

Custom Pose Improvements

Custom Pose Mode has received its first major expansion since its introduction.

Custom poses can now be saved, loaded, and shared in a similar way to character presets, allowing players to preserve their creations or exchange them with others. The current setup still requires files to be placed manually, but it provides a useful foundation for a more streamlined Steam Workshop system in the future.

We have also added eye and pelvis controls, providing more precise control over where characters are looking, how their posture is shaped, and how the overall pose is presented.

These additions bring Custom Pose Mode closer to our long-term vision for the feature, and we will continue improving its controls, usability, and creative possibilities in future releases.

Alamet & Salome Boss Overhauls

The Alamet and Salome encounters have changed significantly.

Both bosses now have their full combat setups in place, with expanded attacks, animations, behaviors, and encounter logic. The main systems behind the fights are now complete, allowing our focus to shift toward refining their difficulty and overall combat flow.

Because these encounters have received substantial changes, they may still require balancing adjustments. Damage values, pacing, attack frequency, and other details may continue to change as we test the fights and receive feedback from players.

This is an important milestone for both encounters, and we are excited to see how players respond to their updated combat designs.

Item Quality & Rarity Improvements

This update introduces several important improvements to equipment progression.

Item tooltips will now display both item quality and item level, giving players clearer information when comparing equipment and deciding which items are worth using.

Item rarity is now directly connected to quality. As a result, higher-rarity items should consistently be better than lower-rarity alternatives, making equipment progression more understandable and predictable.

The rarity distribution for weaponsmiths and armorers has also been adjusted for players above level 50, improving the equipment available during higher-level progression.

We have also fixed an issue that could cause comparison tooltips to appear more than once when inspecting off-hand equipment such as shields and quivers.

Together, these changes should make finding, evaluating, and upgrading equipment feel clearer and more rewarding.

Additional Improvements

Alongside the headline features, this update includes a variety of smaller fixes and improvements across the game.

The Maiden Tower door will now remain locked until all enemies on the lower level have been defeated. This creates a clearer progression path through the encounter and prevents players from unintentionally skipping the lower section of the tower.

The Slave Market has also been connected to the Maiden Tower map unlock logic, helping the new area fit more naturally into the game’s wider progression structure.

Additional work has been completed on weapon damage calculations, Slave Market lighting, rescue mission lighting, enemy archers, map data, loot tables, and boss encounters. We have also increased the texture quality of armor sets and fixed issues affecting Moonstone and Meteorite weapons.

We have continued polishing the overall presentation and addressing smaller issues discovered during development and testing. As always, we will continue monitoring feedback and resolving any bugs or balance problems that appear after release.

Looking Ahead

Following this release, our main development focus will shift toward Controller Support.

Controller Support is not a small or simple addition. It affects almost every part of the game, including movement, combat, menus, inventories, interactions, customization systems, and interface navigation.

Our goal is to spend most of August working toward a polished and comfortable controller experience. Depending on how development progresses, we may also release smaller content additions while that work continues.

Tier 11 armor sets, another lingerie set, further Custom Pose Mode improvements, optimization work, and additional boss balancing are all part of our upcoming plans.

It is possible that some of these additions will arrive before Controller Support is fully complete. However, finishing Controller Support will remain our primary objective throughout the month.

As always, development priorities may shift as we test new systems and respond to community feedback, but we are excited about the next stage of development.

Thank you for your continued support, feedback, screenshots, bug reports, and suggestions.

Every update helps shape the future of Concubine, and we’re looking forward to sharing more as the next features take shape.

The Team ⚔️

Hello Concubiners!

Update 0.4.4 is now live.

This update brings Custom Pose Mode, new lingerie content, boss updates for Alamet and Salome, new customization icons, level fixes, outfit polish and a few quality-of-life improvements.

Custom Pose Mode is the main feature of this update. It gives you more control over character poses and makes Pose Mode much more flexible for screenshots.

Let’s take a look!

Custom Pose Mode

Custom Pose Mode is now available inside Pose Mode.

With this new mode, you can manually adjust your character’s pose instead of only using preset poses. You can move and rotate different body parts, which gives you more freedom when setting up screenshots, companion scenes or custom character poses.

You can enter Custom Pose Mode from the Pose Mode menu by clicking the marionette-style icon.

Custom Pose Controls

Custom Pose Mode currently includes controls for several body parts:

• Hands

• Feet

• Knees

• Elbows

• Shoulders

• Spine

• Neck

• Head

Some controls move body parts, while others control pose direction, such as where knees and elbows point.

This is the first version of Custom Pose Mode, so we will keep improving it over time. More pose tools and improvements are planned for future updates.

Gizmo Controls & Pose Editing

Custom Pose Mode uses gizmos to help you edit poses.

The system includes:

• Move controls

• Rotation controls

• Combined move and rotation controls

• Different gizmo shapes for different control types

• X-ray mode to make controls easier to see • Gizmo visibility toggle for cleaner screenshots

• Reset to Animation option

Some body parts only support movement, and some only support rotation depending on how they affect the pose. For example, spine, neck and head controls focus on rotation, while knee and elbow controls help control pose direction.

Red Seductress Lingerie Set

The Red Seductress Lingerie Set is now available through Lucieta.

This set adds a bold red style to the Lingerie System and gives you another option for character customization, outfit mixing and screenshots.

Ottoman Bond Additions

Ottoman Bond received new pieces in this update.

New glove and arm pieces have been added, giving the set more combination options.

Alamet Boss Rework

Alamet has received a new combat setup.

He now has new attack work, animation updates, VFX and audio improvements for the Grand Bazaar encounter.

Alamet updates include:

• New attack setup

• New animation work

• New VFX and audio feedback

• Improved Grand Bazaar encounter flow

This is part of our ongoing boss update work. More boss polish will continue in future updates.

Salome Boss Rework

Salome also received updates in this patch.

Her encounter in Maiden Tower has new animation work, attack presentation, VFX and audio improvements.

Salome updates include:

• New animation work

• New attack presentation

• New VFX and audio feedback

• Maiden Tower encounter updates

Level, Navigation & Environment Updates

Several levels received smaller fixes and polish.

Updates include:

• Yedikule barricade fix

• Yedikule batching and optimization work

• Grand Bazaar pathing improvements

• Maiden Tower updates for Salome

• Slave Market lighting and pathing updates

• Hippodrome wall fix

• Topkapı Dungeon visual and audio polish

• Water and Maiden Tower optimization work

These changes should help with navigation, level flow and general scene polish.

Controls & Keybinding Improvements

We removed a hardcoded arrow key camera binding. This should make custom keybinds behave more consistently and reduce conflicts with camera movement controls.

Outfit, Visual & UI Polish

Several outfits and character visuals received polish in this update.

This includes cloth, weighting, texture and fitting improvements for selected armor, costumes and lingerie pieces.

Outfit and visual polish includes:

• Veiled Mistress shoulder cloth update

• Dreamy Veil chest fitting improvements

• Silent Vengeance plate and cloth polish

• Belt and skirt fitting improvements

• Red Seductress texture polish

• Ottoman Bond texture improvements

• Hair icon and hair color icon updates

These are part of our ongoing work to clean up character visuals across gameplay, customization and Pose Mode.

NPC & Interaction Polish

We also made a small improvement to the Weaponsmith interaction.

Weaponsmith sparks and audio now stop during conversation, making the interaction feel cleaner and less distracting when talking to the NPC.

❤️ Thank You!

Thank you for your continued support, feedback and patience.

Update 0.4.4 adds the first version of Custom Pose Mode and continues our work on customization, bosses, levels and visual polish.

Please keep sharing your screenshots, feedback and bug reports with us.

Enjoy the update, Concubiners. We’re listening.

Hello everyone 🖤

Another Early Access update is ready.

This release introduces one of the biggest customization features we've worked on so far: Custom Pose Mode. Alongside it comes a brand-new lingerie set, continued boss development, and another round of polish and quality-of-life improvements across the game.

While some of the additions are immediately visible, others improve systems that will continue to grow over the coming updates. Custom Pose Mode in particular is only the beginning we're already building the foundation for features like saving and loading custom poses in future releases.

Let's take a look at what's new.

Custom Pose Mode

One of the most requested screenshot and customization features has finally arrived.

Custom Pose Mode allows you to manually pose your concubine & companions in detail, using an interactive control rig. Individual body parts can now be repositioned and rotated, making it possible to create poses far beyond the limitations of preset animations.

We've spent a lot of time improving how the controls behave. Rotation now follows the character's own orientation instead of world space, resulting in much more natural movement especially around the spine, neck, and head.

Several usability improvements have also been made, including:

• Translation, rotation, or combined gizmo modes

• X-Ray mode for hidden controls

• Hide gizmos for clean screenshots

• Improved default control placement for many poses

• More intuitive knee and elbow controls

While this is only the first version of the system, we're already exploring ideas like sharing custom poses through the Steam Workshop and even bringing posed characters into the decoration system as display statues.

Red Seductress Lingerie Set

No customization update would be complete without a new outfit.

This update introduces the Red Seductress Lingerie Set, featuring a bold crimson design paired with matching gloves and stockings for a striking new look.

Alongside the outfit itself, we've also added dedicated equipment and inventory icons to keep the growing collection of lingerie organized and visually consistent.

As always, expanding player customization remains one of our major goals, and we already have additional ideas planned for future updates.

Alamet & Salome Continues to Evolve

Combat development continues steadily behind the scenes.

Alamet and Salome has received another significant round of work, including new attack animations and expanded combat behavior.

While some of the underlying gameplay logic is still being finalized, these additions represent another important milestone toward turning these bosses into a fully realized boss encounter.

Every update brings the fight closer to its final form, and we're excited to continue sharing its progress as development moves forward.

Additional Improvements

Alongside the headline features, this update also includes a number of smaller improvements across the game.

These include environment polish, lighting improvements, visual refinements, and several bug fixes to improve the overall gameplay experience.

We've also continued refining character customization assets and improving overall presentation throughout the game.

Looking Ahead

Custom Pose Mode is only getting started.

Now that the core system is in place, we'll be focusing on expanding its functionality while continuing development on new combat encounters, environments, and customization options.

We're also planning to begin work on a new level for an upcoming update, expanding the world of Concubine with another location to explore.

Looking a little further ahead, we'd like to spend much of August focusing on Controller Support. It's one of the features we know many players have been waiting for, and we're looking forward to giving it the attention it deserves.

Some of the areas we're currently exploring include:

• Controller Support

• Pose Saving & Loading

• A New Level

• New Boss Encounters

• More Lingerie Sets

As always, development priorities may shift as we continue testing and gathering community feedback, but we're excited to share more as these features take shape.

Thank you for your continued support, feedback, screenshots, bug reports, and suggestions.

Every update helps shape the future of Concubine, and we're looking forward to sharing even more in the updates ahead.

Hello Concubiners!

Update 0.4.3 is now live.

This update brings movement key rebinding, the new Celestial Chains Lingerie Set, a reworked Zebellah boss encounter, save performance improvements, new tattoo content, outfit and armor polish, companion fixes and several quality-of-life improvements.

Some of these changes are big visible additions, while others are focused on making the overall experience smoother and more reliable.

Let’s take a look!

Movement Key Rebinding

Movement keys can now be remapped from the Controls screen.

This gives players more freedom to customize their controls based on their preferred keyboard layout and play style.

You can now rebind movement inputs just like other keybinds, making the control setup more flexible and easier to personalize.

We also improved the keybinding reset behavior, so restoring default controls should now work.

Celestial Chains Lingerie Set

The Celestial Chains Lingerie Set is now available through Lucieta.

This new set expands the Lingerie System with an elegant chained design, giving players another stylish option for character customization and outfit combinations.

The set includes its own matching pieces, icons and visual presentation, and can be mixed with other costumes and armor pieces for different looks.

Zebellah Boss Encounter

Zebellah has received a new combat setup in this update.

The encounter now has a more complete boss structure, with dedicated movement, attacks, combat behavior, audio and visual effects.

Zebellah’s combat includes:

• Light and heavy attacks • A homing hammer attack that tracks the target • A calldown area attack with ground indication • Stun and damage behavior on selected attacks • New attack VFX and audio feedback • Dedicated death behavior

Zebellah can also punish players who stay too far away for too long, making positioning more important during the fight.

This is part of our ongoing boss improvement work, and we will keep polishing boss encounters as development continues.

Save Performance Improvements

One of the biggest quality-of-life improvements in Update 0.4.3 is the save system rework.

We have made changes to reduce the noticeable lag that could happen during auto-saves and level completion. What was previously a frustrating interruption should now be much less noticeable during normal gameplay.

This should help the game feel smoother, especially during longer play sessions and larger playthroughs.

New Tattoo Content

New Ottoman-themed tattoos have been added.

This gives players more options when customizing the main character and companions through the Tattoo System.

Outfit, Armor & Visual Polish

Several outfits and armor pieces received visual polish in this update.

These changes are focused on reducing clipping, improving how selected outfits fit the character body and making certain costume combinations look cleaner during gameplay, customization and poses.

Adjusted items include:

• Steel Fury • Veiled Mistress • Nomad Temptress • Aurora Fighter • Hashashin • Whisper pants • Steel Nomad • Amber Warden

• Handmaiden

• Quiver and footwear visual polish 

These are part of our ongoing work to improve character presentation across different body, armor, costume and lingerie combinations.

Companion Improvements

We fixed several companion-related issues in this update.

• Companions should no longer remain dead when returning to the Palace • Companions should no longer face the wrong direction in the Palace after combat • Enemy health bars should now appear correctly when companions engage enemies • Dead companions should no longer receive healing or regeneration effects • Companion UI should now represent death state more consistently

These changes should make companion behavior and UI feedback more consistent across combat and Palace transitions.

Skill & Reward Fixes

Radiant Prospector received important reward fixes.

Bonus emerald rewards from Radiant Prospector should now be added correctly to the player’s total.

The bonus reward amount is now based on the skill state at level completion, so changes made during a level should be reflected properly when rewards are granted.

Lingerie & Customization Improvements

We also made several improvements for lingerie and character customization.

• Changing characters in the customization screen now displays the correct lingerie for that character • Material-based outfit and lingerie pieces should display more consistently in Pose Mode and companion selection screens • Lucieta purchase prompts now correctly refer to Gems when the player does not have enough currency

Level, Navigation & Collision Updates

Several level and collision issues were improved in this update.

• Fixed a navigation issue in Galata Tower • Improved Rumeli Fortress area where companions could get stuck • Fixed collision around the Caravanserai stable doors where arrows could hit an invisible object • Updated navigation and small props in selected tower areas • Improved several textures in the Topkapi dungeon 

These changes should make movement, arrows and navigation feel more reliable in affected areas.

Audio & Atmosphere Updates

We also made several audio and ambience improvements.

• Added new ambience SFX to several areas

• Improved torch and fire sound effects

• Balanced the volume of several sound effects

❤️ Thank You!

Thank you for your continued support, feedback and patience.

Update 0.4.3 continues our work on controls, performance, combat encounters, customization and overall polish.

Please keep sharing your screenshots, feedback and bug reports with us.

Enjoy the update, Concubiners. We’re listening.

Hello everyone 🖤

After another busy stretch of development, the next Concubine update is ready.

This update combines several highly requested quality-of-life improvements with new customization content and ongoing work on future combat encounters. While some of the changes are immediately visible, others improve the game's foundation and prepare systems that will support future updates. One of the biggest improvements in this release is the save system rework, which greatly reduces the noticeable lag during auto-saves and level completion. What was once a frustrating interruption should now be barely noticeable during normal gameplay.

From long-awaited keybinding improvements and performance optimizations to a brand-new lingerie set, new historical-inspired tattoos, and improvements to the Zebellah boss encounter, there's plenty to cover.

Let's take a look at what's new.

Movement Keys Can Finally Be Rebound

One of the most requested accessibility and quality-of-life features is finally here.

With this update, movement keys are now fully rebindable through the controls menu. Players can customize movement controls alongside the rest of the keybinding system, providing a much more flexible setup for different keyboard layouts and personal preferences.

We know some players have been waiting for this feature for quite some time, particularly those using alternative keyboard layouts throughout Europe. We're happy to finally bring this improvement into the game and remove one of the most common control-related frustrations.

Alongside this addition, we also fixed an issue where the Reset to Default option was not properly restoring keybindings.

Sometimes the smallest features make the biggest difference, and we're glad to finally check this one off the list.

Celestial Chains Lingerie Set

Of course, no customization update would be complete without a new lingerie set.

This update introduces the Celestial Chains Lingerie Set, featuring a more exotic and ornamental aesthetic inspired by delicate chains, jewelry, and luxurious body adornments.

The design offers a very different visual style compared to previous sets and creates unique combinations when paired with tattoos, accessories, and armor pieces. Alongside the outfit itself, we've also added a complete set of dedicated inventory and equipment icons to better support the growing lingerie collection.

We've also continued improving equipment compatibility and reducing clipping issues. This update includes clipping fixes for the SteelFury, Veiled Mistress, and Nomad Temptress armor sets. Royal Silk Skirt has been restored after compatibility and clipping adjustments. 

As always, expanding visual customization remains one of our core goals, and additional sets are already being discussed for future updates.

Ottoman Tattoo Collection

When we introduced tattoos in the previous update, many players requested designs that felt more closely tied to the historical and cultural inspirations behind the game's world.

To address that feedback, we've created a brand-new Ottoman-inspired tattoo collection.

The new set includes designs for multiple body regions, including arms, legs, waist, back, and torso areas. Compared to some of the earlier decorative tattoos, these patterns lean more heavily into motifs, ornaments, and artistic influences that better reflect the era and atmosphere that inspired many of Concubine's locations and characters.

This is only the first expansion of the tattoo system, and we intend to continue growing the collection with additional themes and artistic styles over time.

Boss Polish: Zebellah

Combat development has continued steadily behind the scenes.

With this update, Zebellah Combat has reached a fully playable state. The encounter now includes its core mechanics, combat flow, visual effects, and overall structure, bringing one of our planned boss battles significantly closer to its final form.

While there's still room for polish and balancing, we're excited to finally see Zebellah evolve from a placeholder encounter into a proper boss fight.

Looking Ahead

Our next update is still taking shape, but a few goals are already becoming clear.

Another lingerie set is very likely to arrive in the near future, and there's a good chance we'll continue expanding our boss encounter lineup as development progresses.

We're also actively evaluating several larger features, including:

• Controller Support

• Free Pose Mode

• A New Level

• Additional Combat Content

The priority order for these features is still being discussed internally, and Patreon supporter feedback will be part of that discussion as we determine what should come next.

As always, we'll share more details once we're confident about the direction of the next major update.

Thank you for your continued support, feedback, screenshots, bug reports, and suggestions. Every update helps shape the future of Concubine, and we're excited to continue building the game together.

The Team ⚔️

Hello Concubiners!

Update 0.4.2 is now live.

This update brings the first version of the Tattoo System to Concubine, the new Imperial Princess Lingerie Set, character body and outfit improvements, pose updates, vendor variety changes and combat balance adjustments.

Tattoos are the main feature of this update, opening up a new layer of customization for both the main character and companions.

Let’s take a look!

Tattoo System

Tattoos are now available in Concubine.

You can now apply tattoos through the character customization screen and create more unique looks for your main character and companions. Each character can have their own tattoo setup, allowing you to create different identities, companion styles and screenshot looks.

Tattoos can currently be customized across several body regions:

• Chest • Back • Lower Back • Belly • Left Arm • Right Arm • Left Leg • Right Leg

Different tattoo designs support different visual options. Some tattoos are color-customizable, while others are full-color designs with tint support.

When editing tattoos, the customization camera will focus on the selected body region, making it easier to preview the tattoo placement and overall look.

Tattoos are also supported in Pose Mode and companion-related character screens, so your customized characters can keep their look across different presentation options.

Tattoos can be removed by selecting the active tattoo again, making the customization flow cleaner and easier to use.

Please note that this is the first version of the Tattoo System. We will continue expanding tattoo options, visuals and customization support in future updates.

Imperial Princess Lingerie Set

The Imperial Princess Lingerie Set is now available through Lucieta.

This new set expands the Lingerie System with a royal and elegant style, giving players another option for character customization and outfit combinations.

As with other lingerie pieces, Imperial Princess can be mixed with costumes and armor pieces for different looks.

Character Body & Outfit Improvements

We made significant updates to the shared character body model used by the main character and companions.

In gameplay terms, this should help characters look better during animations, poses and outfit combinations. Armor pieces, lingerie, boots and other clothing items should generally fit the body more naturally and behave better in motion.

These changes may also improve some harem girl visuals in the Palace where the same character body setup is used.

This is a large character model update, so some equipment combinations may still show clipping or visual issues. We are continuing to address these cases as we find them, and your screenshots and reports are very helpful.

Character and outfit improvements include:

• Better body behavior during animations and poses • Improved outfit fitting on the character body • Better footwear behavior for boots, heels and covered shoes • Better stocking and toe visibility behavior • Improved outfit behavior for the main character and companions • Several armor and clothing pieces adjusted to better match the updated character body

Updated Poses

Since the character model itself has evolved, the pose system also received attention.

We revisited several existing poses to better match the updated body proportions and character weighting. These changes should help characters look more natural in poses, reduce awkward bends and improve screenshot quality.

This update includes:

• Improved sitting poses • Improved standing poses • Improved foot and arm positioning in selected poses • Better pose compatibility with heels and footwear

The pose system is still evolving, and we plan to expand it further with additional options and improvements in future updates. Even so, these adjustments should already provide a noticeable boost to character presentation.

Outfit & Gear Adjustments

Several outfit and gear pieces received visual adjustments to better support the updated character body and reduce visible clipping.

This includes improvements for selected skirts, tops, boots, sandals and lingerie-related footwear.

Some of the adjusted items include:

• Sand Serpent Skirt • Chaos skirt • Scorpion Warrior boots • Nomad Temptress sandals • Coarse Leather belt • Emerald Huntress pieces • Lunar Huntress top • Midnight Siren pieces

Companions should also display their shoes more consistently, including in the Palace.

Vendor Improvements

Armorsmith and Weaponsmith vendor inventories have been improved.

They should now offer more variety when you visit them, while still keeping one item of each type available.

This should make vendor visits feel less repetitive and more useful when looking for different gear options.

Combat & Balance Changes

This update includes balance changes for bosses, companions and several mid-to-late game encounters.

Several bosses have received health adjustments to better match the current combat progression and player power level. In general, mid-to-late game boss encounters should now last longer and feel more challenging, especially as players progress further into the game.

Boss balance changes include:

• Mankurt’s health has been increased to make the encounter more durable • Korsan’s health has been significantly increased for a longer boss fight • Zebellah’s health has been significantly increased to better match mid-to-late game progression • Alamet’s health has been significantly increased to make the fight more demanding • Salome’s health has been increased to better match her intended difficulty

Companion damage has also been reduced to keep party combat balance under better control and make player decisions more important during fights.

These changes are part of our ongoing combat and progression balancing. We will continue monitoring feedback and adjusting values where needed.

Level, Cinematic & Navigation Updates

We also made several small level, cinematic and navigation improvements.

• Fixed a navigation issue on the Rumeli ramp • Updated parts of the Topkapı cinematic presentation • Improved camera, blur and depth-of-field behavior in selected cinematic scenes

❤️ Thank You!

Thank you for your continued support, feedback and patience.

Update 0.4.2 adds another important customization feature to Concubine and continues our work on character visuals, combat balance and overall polish.

Please keep sharing your screenshots, feedback and bug reports with us.

Enjoy the update, Concubiners. We’re listening.

Hello everyone 🖤

After two weeks of focused development, the next Concubine update is ready.

This update is all about character customization and visual improvements. While the previous patch introduced the Lingerie Trader and expanded wardrobe options, this one focuses on strengthening the systems underneath it. New tattoos, improved character proportions, updated armor fitting, refreshed poses, and a brand-new lingerie set all come together to make character creation and party customization feel better than ever.

Some of these changes are immediately noticeable. Others work quietly behind the scenes, improving almost every outfit, screenshot, and character in the game.

Let's take a look at what's new.

Tattoos Have Arrived

One of the most requested customization features is finally here.

With this update, tattoos can now be applied not only to your main character but also to your companions. Every member of your party can now be customized with tattoos across multiple body regions, allowing for much greater visual variety and character identity.

Tattoos can currently be applied to the chest, back, both arms, and both legs, with multiple color variations available for selected designs. Whether you prefer subtle decorative details or more elaborate body art, the new system offers plenty of room for experimentation.

This is only the beginning of our tattoo collection. Now that the underlying system is fully integrated, we can continue expanding it with new artistic styles, themes, and designs in future updates.

Looking further ahead, we know many of you are interested in modding and Workshop support. While we have not started development on those systems yet, our long-term goal is to make tattoos as expandable as character presets. Once Workshop support arrives, community-created tattoo packs should become a natural extension of the customization experience.

For now, this update lays the foundation for everything that comes next.

Sand Serpent Armor Rework

The Sand Serpent Armor has received a significant visual update.

The new version features improved physics behavior, a cleaner silhouette, and a much more natural appearance during movement. The skirt now reacts better while exploring, posing, and interacting with other outfit pieces, making it feel considerably more polished overall.

One of the biggest advantages of the rework becomes apparent when combining it with lingerie pieces. The updated design creates far more interesting combinations and opens up new styling possibilities for players who enjoy experimenting with different looks.

As we continue expanding customization options, revisiting older equipment and bringing it up to modern standards remains an important part of our development process.

Character Model & Outfit Improvements

A significant portion of this update happened behind the scenes.

Over the past two weeks, we revisited the Base Female model and improved its underlying weight distribution. While this may sound like a technical change, the results can be seen throughout the entire customization system.

The updated weighting creates a cleaner silhouette, more natural posture, and improved overall proportions. Because these changes affect the foundation of the character model itself, we also completed a broad reweight pass across numerous armor and outfit pieces to ensure everything fits correctly with the new body shape.

The result is more consistent outfit fitting, smoother animations, and a noticeable improvement in overall character presentation. Many of these adjustments are subtle on their own, but together they help create a more polished and visually cohesive experience throughout the game.

Updated Poses

Since the character model itself has evolved, the pose system needed some attention as well.

We revisited and updated existing poses to better match the new proportions and weight distribution. The result is a more natural presentation, cleaner character screenshots, and better-looking group photos with your companions.

The pose system is still evolving, and we plan to expand it further with additional options and improvements in future updates. Even so, the current adjustments already provide a noticeable boost to character presentation.

Imperial Princess Lingerie Set

Of course, no customization update would be complete without something new to wear.

This update introduces the Imperial Princess Lingerie Set, the latest addition to Concubine's growing lingerie collection.

Featuring a more regal and luxurious aesthetic, Imperial Princess offers another distinctive style for players who enjoy creating unique character looks and experimenting with different outfit combinations.

As always, this is only one step in the expansion of the lingerie system. To help decide what comes next, we've opened a Patreon vote where supporters can choose the next lingerie set they'd like to see in the game:

👉 https://www.patreon.com/posts/vote-for-next-160534339

Combat Adjustments

Of course, we do not want you to think this update is only about cosmetics.

After magic entered the game, we received feedback that combat difficulty had become lower than intended, especially when playing with a full party. We agreed that some encounters were ending too quickly, so we made several balance adjustments to help preserve the challenge and pacing of combat.

With this update, companion combat contribution has been adjusted, and several boss encounters have been rebalanced to last longer and feel more meaningful. Mankurt, Korsan, Zebellah, Alamet, and Salome should now offer stronger and more satisfying fights, giving players more time to enjoy their mechanics, atmosphere, and combat flow.

These changes are part of our ongoing effort to keep progression, party strength, and encounter difficulty in a healthier place as new systems are added to the game.

Looking Ahead

Our current goal is to continue with another relatively fast update over the next couple of weeks.

While plans may change during development, we're hoping to tackle the Movement Keys Aren't Rebindable issue, add the winning lingerie set from the Patreon vote, and expand the tattoo collection with at least one new set.

We're also considering replacing several remaining placeholder encounters, including Alamet, Salome and / or Zebellah Combat. If time permits, we'd also like to investigate full-resolution texture performance and experiment with dynamic armor materials.

Looking further into July, additional lingerie and tattoo content is already planned, while larger features such as controller support and potentially even a new level remain on the table. As always, we'll share more details once plans become more concrete.

Thank you for your continued support, feedback, screenshots, and suggestions. Every update helps us move one step closer to the vision we have for the game, and we're excited to keep building it together. 🖤

The Team ⚔️

Hello Concubiners!

Update 0.4.1 is now live.

This update brings the long-awaited Lingerie System to Concubine, along with new lingerie sets, Lucieta UI improvements, level atmosphere updates and several important fixes based on recent testing and feedback.

Let’s take a look!

Lingerie System

The Lingerie System is now available in Concubine.

You can now buy and sell lingerie through Lucieta using gems. Lingerie pieces can be equipped, combined and mixed with different costume and armor pieces, allowing more customization options for both the player and companions.

New Lingerie Sets

The following lingerie sets are now available through Lucieta:

• Gold Gilded • Midnight Jewel • Queen of Hearts • Delicate Butterfly • Embroidered Silk • Ottoman Bond

Each set includes multiple pieces that can be combined with other lingerie, costumes and armor parts.

Lingerie can be used on the main character as well as all of your companions. We also made additional visual polish to ensure lingerie pieces display properly across different characters, combinations and poses.

Lucieta UI Improvements

Lucieta’s UI has received a significant update to support the new Lingerie System.

Improvements include:

• Lingerie buy/sell support added

• Gem-based purchase and sell transactions added

• Updated buy/sell text for gem transactions

• Filter options improved for lingerie and costume items

• Preview for lingerie items

Please note that lingerie uses gems instead of gold, and the UI now reflects this properly during transactions.

Level & Atmosphere Updates

We made several atmosphere updates to selected locations.

• Palace has been re-lit with a daytime setting

• City Streets now include rain and thunder sound effects

• Hippodrome now includes rain and thunder sound effects

These changes should improve the mood and presentation of these areas.

UI & Quality of Life Fixes

Update 0.4.1 also includes several UI, localization and quality-of-life fixes.

• A new costume slot has been added specifically for stockings

• Costume and Lingerie items will now compare and auto-equip to the costume slots instead of the armor slots

• Fixed an issue where sorting the inventory would cause any equipped helmet to be duplicated

• Fixed an issue where the player would display the old underwear in the pose mode if nudity was set to off or semi

• Regeneration combat text now appears in green for both the player and companions

• Customization screen UI now displays correctly even if it was hidden the last time it was used

• Map completion now displays correctly at the bottom of the map after loading a saved game

• Inventory trash icon behavior improved

• Fixed an issue where trashing an item and saving immediately after could cause problems

• Fixed an issue where companion skills were being listed for wrong companions

❤️ Thank You!

Thank you for your patience while we finished the Lingerie System.

Update 0.4.1 is a smaller follow-up update, but it adds an important customization feature and addresses several issues reported during testing.

As always, please keep sharing your feedback, screenshots, bug reports and suggestions with us.

Enjoy the update, Concubiners. We’re listening.

Hello everyone 🖤

The next update brings one of the features many of you have been waiting for: the Lingerie Trader is finally entering the game.

With this update, another major Roadmap item is moving from “planned” to “completed.” Together with the Skill Tree, this means two important progression and customization features are now in place. From here, our goal is to return to faster and more frequent updates, adding more lingerie sets, tattoos, outfit improvements, armor reworks, and other smaller features step by step.

This update is not only about adding a new shop. It also gives you a new way to style your characters, take better screenshots, build your party’s visual identity, and enjoy the palace atmosphere in a very different light.

Let’s walk through what is coming.

Lingerie Trader is Here

Lucieta, who already handles costume purchases, is now also the first lingerie trader in the game.

There is one important difference: lingerie sets are purchased with Emeralds, similar to decorative items, rather than regular gold. 

Since these pieces are highly visual by nature, we did not want the system to feel like a simple “buy an icon and hope it looks good” feature. So we built the trader flow around visual previews.

When you browse lingerie, you can see preview images before buying, compare how each piece looks, and make a clearer choice before spending your Emeralds. 

For this update, six lingerie sets have been added: Embroidered Silk, Queen of Hearts,  Midnight Jewel, Gold Gilded, Delicate Butterfly, Ottoman Bond

This is only the starting selection. Now that the trader, currency flow, preview setup, item logic, and equipment behavior are in place, we can expand the lingerie collection much more easily in future updates.

Our plan is to keep adding new sets more frequently from here.

Lingerie in Character Creation

Lingerie sets are not limited to the trader screen.

You can also use them while shaping your character in the character creation and customization screens, just like costumes and armor. This means you can preview your character with different lingerie sets, adjust her appearance around them, and take cleaner screenshots directly from the creation scene.

We also fixed several eyeliner alternatives in the makeup section that were not displaying correctly before. Character customization should now feel cleaner and more reliable, especially when you are preparing close-up screenshots or fine-tuning your character’s face. 

Some of you may have missed this, so here is a small reminder: you can press Z to hide the UI in character customization. The shortcut is shown at the bottom of the screen, but it is easy to overlook. With the UI hidden, the customization screen can already work as a simple photo mode for character shots.

This part of the feature is still early. The current poses and screenshot behavior are placeholders, and we want to improve them later with better posing options, cleaner presentation, and more control. We also want to make it possible to preview armor properly even while nudity is enabled.

For now, though, lingerie already gives character creation a much stronger visual purpose, especially for players who enjoy designing and photographing their characters.

Dress the Whole Party

The lingerie system is not only for the main character.

You can now dress your entire party in lingerie sets and continue playing with that look during exploration and combat. This includes companions, which means your party can have a much more unified or stylized appearance depending on how you want to present them.

There was also a very nice surprise while integrating the system: lingerie can remain visible together with armor pieces.

That means you can combine more revealing or elegant armor designs with lingerie details underneath. For example, you can pair your favorite armor with sheer thigh-high stockings, lace details, delicate straps, or other visible lingerie elements and take that look into the world.

This gives outfit customization more depth than we originally expected from the first version. Instead of lingerie being only a separate “costume layer,” it can also become part of your adventure look.

You can also use the pose menu with your companions and take group screenshots with the full party. The pose system itself is still temporary and will be improved later, but even in its current state, it should give you more room to create character-focused screenshots.

A New Morning in the Palace

This update also changes the mood of the palace in a big way.

As Sultan mentioned at the beginning, your character spends the daytime blending into palace life among the concubines, while the more dangerous work happens at night during missions. Until now, the palace atmosphere has mostly leaned into evening and interior lighting, but with this update, the sun finally rises over the palace.

You will now begin the day in a new palace setting, with softer morning light, warmer interiors, and a much better environment for screenshots.

This may sound like a small atmospheric change, but it affects the whole feeling of the game. The palace is not just a menu space or a place between missions. It is becoming a more important part of the fantasy: a place where your character belongs, prepares, poses, rests, and slowly becomes part of the world around her.

The morning lighting also makes lingerie, costumes, skin tones, hair colors, and armor materials read much more clearly. If you enjoy taking screenshots, this update should give you a much better space to do it.

Roadmap Progress & Looking Ahead

We were hoping to place a third checkmark on the Roadmap with tattoos in this update as well. But unfortunately, tattoos need a little more time and will move to the next update instead. 

Our current plan is to keep the next updates smaller, faster, and more frequent. We are aiming for updates in the range of one to two weeks whenever possible, especially for features like new lingerie sets, tattoos, visual improvements, and other customization additions.

We know many of you are also waiting for full controller support. We have not forgotten about it. The reason we are not moving to that immediately is that full controller support is a much larger task and would likely block new updates for at least a month and a half.

So the current plan is simple: first, deliver a period of faster updates with visible new content and improvements. After that, we will return to longer development tasks such as a new level, full controller support, and other larger systems that need more uninterrupted time.

This update is an important step for Concubine’s customization side.

The Lingerie Trader is now in the game. Emerald-based lingerie purchases are working. Preview images are in place. The first six sets are ready. The palace now has a new morning atmosphere. Character creation supports lingerie presentation. Companions can wear the sets too. And lingerie can even be combined visually with armor for more layered looks.

It is a strong foundation, and we are excited to build on it quickly.

Thank you for your patience while we put these systems together properly. We know some features take longer than expected, but we would rather release them in a state that feels useful, expandable, and worth returning to.

More lingerie sets, tattoos, and improvements are coming soon🖤

The Team ⚔️

Hello Concubiners!

Major Update 0.4.0 has officially landed. This update brings one of our biggest gameplay foundations so far: the first major version of the Skill Tree and character progression system.

Alongside the Skill Tree, this update also includes new magic abilities, new and improved weapon special & fury attacks, outfit and gear updates, combat animation improvements, UI quality-of-life changes, performance optimizations and a large wave of fixes across the game.

Please remember that some of the systems introduced in this update are part of our ongoing Early Access improvement efforts. We will keep expanding, balancing and polishing them with your feedback in future updates.

Let’s take a dive!

Skill Tree & Character Progression

Major Update 0.4.0 introduces the first major version of our Skill Tree system.

Both the main character and each companion now have their own skills and attributes. You can develop your companions even when they are not currently in your active party, allowing you to prepare different characters and builds for future encounters.

This is an important foundation for future build variety, combat progression, long-term character development and replayability in Concubine.

Skill Tree Features

 • Develop the main character through the new Skill Tree • Develop each companion individually through their own Skill Tree • Invest points into Weapon Skills, Combat Skills and Magic Skills • Unlock new abilities through skill progression • Assign attributes to improve character stats • Save and continue your progression between play sessions • Build different progression paths for different characters

Attributes & Character Stats

Attributes can be assigned through the Skill Tree UI for both the player and companions.

The attribute section also considers equipped gear, giving a clearer view of important character values such as:

 • Health • Stamina • Mana • Damage • Armor

Skill Information & Upgrade Details

Skills in the tree can be hovered to display detailed information about what they do, how they affect gameplay and which abilities they may unlock.

The Skill Tree also shows current effects, next level effects and max level information more clearly, making it easier to plan your character progression before spending points.

Resetting Skills & Attributes

Both skills and attributes can be reset from the Skill Tree.

Resetting has a gold cost. The cost starts small, but increases with each reset up to a maximum value. This allows players to experiment with builds while still keeping character progression meaningful.

The Skill Tree is a major new system for Concubine, and this is only the beginning. We will continue improving balance and skill effects throughout Early Access.

New Magic Abilities

Major Update 0.4.0 introduces three new magic abilities connected to the progression system:

 • Doomshroud • Venom Storm • Goddess Grace

These spells are part of our ongoing work to make magic a more important and exciting part of combat. Each one has its own combat presentation and will continue to be balanced and polished with future updates.

Bosses are immune to Venom Storm’s stun effect to prevent major encounters from being interrupted too easily.

To help maintain combat balance alongside the addition of new magic healing options, the duration of Heal Wounds potions has been reduced from 60 seconds to 30 seconds.

New Weapon Abilities & Fury Updates

This update also expands weapon-based abilities and improves several Fury attacks.

The Dagger, Great Spear, Great Mace and Great Axe now have additional weapon abilities, giving these weapon types more variety and stronger progression through the Skill Tree.

We have also improved multiple Fury attacks with better visual effects, sound effects, timing and impact feedback.

Updated weapon ability and Fury work includes:

 • Dagger abilities • Great Spear abilities • Great Mace abilities • Great Axe abilities • Great Sword Fury • Great Mace Fury • Great Axe Fury • Dual Wield Fury • Staff ability effects • Spear ability effects

Several weapon abilities also received timing, root motion and animation blending improvements to make them feel smoother and more reliable in combat.

Please note that this is an ongoing process and more combat improvements will follow in future updates.

Combat, Weapons & Animation Improvements

This update continues our long-term combat improvement plan with a focus on responsiveness, animation flow and clearer attack feedback.

Many player weapon attacks have been adjusted to make transitions from one attack to another feel more fluid. We have also adjusted attack timings to reduce stutter and improved visual and audio feedback across multiple weapon types.

Improvements include:

 • Smoother transitions between weapon attacks • Reduced animation stutter during combat • Improved attack timing and buffering • Improved impact VFX for several weapons • Improved impact audio for heavy weapon attacks • Improved animation behavior for selected abilities and Fury attacks • Improved walking animations for several weapon states • Fixed several animation bone issues

These changes should make weapon combat feel cleaner, more responsive and easier to read during fights.

Boss & Enemy Improvements

We also made several boss and enemy behavior improvements in this update.

 • Gulyabani no longer engages too early in certain cases • Salome now behaves more reliably in combat • Mankurt received root motion cleanup

 • Alamet has had a significant change where he will now hit his targets much more consistently • Improved enemy navigation in several trouble areas • Moved some enemies and added navigation blockers to reduce cases where enemies could get stuck • Improved enemy behavior around selected combat spaces

These changes should make combat encounters more consistent and reduce several frustrating edge cases.

New & Updated Outfits, Gear and Icons

Major Update 0.4.0 includes multiple outfit, armor and item updates.

Coarse Leather Starter Outfit Remake

We were not happy with the previous look of the Coarse Leather starter outfit, so we have completely replaced it with a new version.

The new set has a cleaner look, improved details and better overall presentation. It also now includes shoulder pads and a belt, giving the starter armor a more complete appearance while still keeping its early-game identity.

Bazaar Cutpurse Set

The Bazaar Cutpurse set has also been reworked with an improved design and better details.

The Bazaar Cutpurse belt has been added to loot tables, and the set received updated icons, improved localization support and several visual fixes around the chest, waist, shoulders and belt areas.

Icon & Item Clarity

We also updated several icons to improve item and skill readability, including:

 • Skill Tree icons • Weapon skill icons • Combat skill icons • Magic skill icons • Gear and item icons

Nudity Filter & Character Visual Updates

We made additional improvements to nudity filter visuals and character rendering.

• Updated nudity filter visuals • Updated base female mesh support for nudity filter changes • Improved character rendering support for hats and hair morphs • Improved hair-related visuals for Bazaar Cutpurse content • Improved skin shader performance • Added additional skinning fixes around selected body areas • Reduced overly intense blush behavior

We also fixed several cases where the player or companions could appear incorrectly in menus, selection screens or customization scenes.

World, Locations & Audio Updates

We also made several world and location updates across Concubine.

World & Level Improvements

 • Improved Lunar Palace performance • Improved Cistern visuals and fog for lower scalability settings • Improved fog behavior on lower graphics settings • Added more chest variations in selected areas • Improved chest placement in several locations • Added new skeletons and pathing updates in selected areas • Improved collision in several world spots • Improved navigation in several trouble areas • Improved transparent object hit detection • Adjusted mist behavior to reduce popping • Improved lighting on lower graphics settings

Music & Ambience

New default theme music has been added to several locations:

 • Maiden Tower • Yedikule Fortress • The Nameless Pit • Grand Bazaar

Ambience volume and audio presence were also improved in selected areas.

UI & Quality of Life Improvements

This update includes several UI and quality-of-life improvements.

 • GPU is now displayed on the Settings screen • Level Complete widget adjusted • Skill Tree UI introduced with new visuals and sounds • New button visuals added • Button click sound support added • Hover sounds added to build items • Hover and click sounds added to prompt buttons • Pose Mode icons updated • Pose renders updated • Equipment can now be right-clicked directly into empty slots more reliably • Additional translation imports added • Turkish translation corrections added

The GPU display addition should also help players better understand which graphics device the game is currently using.

Performance & Optimization

Major Update 0.4.0 includes optimization work across several systems and locations.

 • Improved performance in Lunar Palace and selected heavy scenes • Material batching improvements • Texture and shader optimizations • Skin shader optimization • Expensive visual materials adjusted • Translucent glass behavior adjusted for better performance • Fog behavior improved for lower settings • Lighting adjusted for lower graphics settings

These changes should help performance, especially in heavier scenes and on lower graphics settings.

Bug Fixes

We have addressed many player-facing issues reported by our community. • Fixed right-click equip not working in some cases • Fixed map challenge indicators appearing incorrectly after loading • Fixed map errors on new game • Fixed music not playing correctly on new game • Fixed Saga Begins quests not auto-accepting in some cases • Fixed player appearing naked in customization on new game • Fixed companions appearing naked in some cases • Fixed companions appearing naked on the selection screen • Fixed companions appearing naked in Free Pose Mode • Fixed companions sitting in combat levels • Fixed a companion getting stuck in the Crypt • Fixed Gulyabani engaging too early • Fixed Salome not attacking until attacked • Fixed archers having an extra set of arrows after being removed from the pool • Fixed Caravanserai archers having two bows • Fixed Hippodrome navigation mesh inconsistency • Fixed enemies getting stuck in several areas • Fixed collision and navigation issues in selected locations • Fixed chests appearing too close to spawn points in some cases • Fixed transparent objects interfering with hit detection • Fixed horse death collision issues • Fixed floating orb visual issue • Fixed blood burst decal shading • Fixed blood splash and blood pool behavior • Fixed several armor material issues • Fixed Bazaar Cutpurse belt and waist armor skinning issues • Fixed Coarse Leather armor morph issues • Fixed Coarse Leather shoulder issues • Fixed several walk animation issues • Fixed several attack animation stutter issues • Fixed lower graphics settings causing black visuals in some cases • Fixed lower graphics settings causing lighting issues in some cases • Fixed mist popping in selected areas • Numerous additional animation, audio, VFX, UI, collision, navigation and stability fixes

Important Note

The Skill Tree is a major new system for Concubine, and we will continue improving it throughout Early Access.

Balance values and skill effects may continue to evolve with future updates. Please keep sharing your builds, feedback, bug reports and suggestions with us. Your reports help us decide what to prioritize next.

A Small Note About the Lingerie System

We also want to share a quick update about the Lingerie System.

Lingerie was planned for Major Update 0.4.0, but it needs a little more time before we feel comfortable releasing it. We do not want to rush it to an unfinished state, so we decided to test it further and release the Lingerie System in a separate update very soon.

To make up for this delay and thank you for your patience, we are offering a discount for two weeks with this update.

Companion Inventory, Portrait & Skill Issues

We are investigating several companion-related issues that can occur after replacing or switching companions in the base. This is only happening for 4th and 5th companions.

In some cases:

 • Companion inventory data may not refresh correctly • A companion portrait may disappear or show the wrong character in levels or inventory • Items purchased while selecting certain companions may go to the main character’s inventory instead • Newly added companions may appear as level 1 with no skills or skill points, but still show abilities on their hotkeys • Some companion abilities may appear on the hotbar but cannot be used • Some companions may not receive certain unlocked abilities correctly, such as Doomshroud or Venom Storm • Companions using bows may deal little or no damage in some cases

We are looking into these issues and will work on a fix in an upcoming update.

❤️ Thank You!

Major Update 0.4.0 is another big step forward for Concubine. Thank you for your continued support, feedback and patience.

We will keep improving progression, combat, customization, performance and content as we move forward.

Enjoy the update, Concubiners. We’re listening.

Hello everyone 🖤

Tomorrow is update day.

This has been one of those development phases where a lot of the work is not always easy to show in a single screenshot. Some features are obvious the moment you open a menu or cast a spell. Others are hidden inside logic, optimization, animation timing, loot tables, vendor rules, UI states, localization, and all the small fixes that make a build feel much more stable.

So before the May 15 update arrives, we wanted to walk you through where things landed, what made it into this build, and what is coming shortly after.

Skill Tree Is Here

The biggest part of this update is the Skill Tree, and we’re happy to say that it is now complete and included in the May 15 build.

This is no longer just a visible UI or a work-in-progress system behind the scenes. Skill unlocking, attribute handling, companion progression, resources, node states, UI feedback, icon frames, button sounds, and the overall structure are now fully in place.

Weapon Skills and Combat Skills are implemented and working. Magic Skills have also moved from “planned” to playable. Venom Storm, Doom Shroud, and Goddess Grace now have their effects, audio, and gameplay logic in place, giving you real build options beyond weapon-focused combat.

Healing magic in particular changes the feel of party combat. Goddess Grace now works as a proper support spell, giving you another way to keep both yourself and nearby companions alive. Potions are still something you actively manage through hotkeys, even when using them for companions, but healing magic behaves more naturally. Companions can cast it on their own when needed, which makes party survival feel less manual and gives support-oriented builds a much clearer role.

This also makes Wisdom and Intellect feel much more meaningful than before, especially if you want to build around survivability, magic, or hybrid playstyles.

Since the Skill Tree changes how characters grow and how powerful different builds can become, we’ll be watching balance closely after the update. Some levels may feel easier or harder than before depending on your build, party setup, and skill choices. If that happens, the next step won’t be more Skill Tree development, it will be level and encounter balancing around the new progression system.

For us, this is a major milestone. The Skill Tree is now the core progression system we wanted it to be, and we’re excited to finally get it into your hands.

Combat, Animation & Body Physics Polish

A lot of combat work in this update was about making things feel smoother and more reliable rather than simply adding another flashy move.

Several special attacks and Fury attacks received new or updated VFX, audio, timing, root motion, and impact feedback. Weapons like the Dagger, Great Spear, Great Mace, Great Axe, Staff, and Great Sword all received attention in different ways. Some attacks needed better trails, some needed stronger impact sounds, some needed animation timing changes, and some needed fixes so movement and hit moments lined up properly.

We also continued reducing stutter and awkward transitions in attack chains. Attack buffers, blend timing, root motion, dual wield behavior, great weapon movement, and ranged damage variance all received work. These are the kinds of changes that are easy to miss in a patch note, but they matter a lot when you are actually playing.

The character movement also received another polish pass. Walk animations, twist bones, skinning, body movement, and jiggle physics have been improved so characters feel less stiff and more natural in motion. This touches gameplay, posing, character previews, and the general feel of watching your party move through the world.

Performance & Lower Settings

We also spent a lot of time on performance and lower graphics settings.

Lunar Palace received a major optimization pass. In one of our heavier scenes, draw calls were reduced from roughly 30,000 to around 1,200. That kind of work is not very glamorous from the outside, but it is extremely important for making the game run better and giving us more room to improve visuals without pushing performance too far.

Materials, shaders, lighting, reflections, transparent objects, and texture sizes also received optimization work. Some shaders were simplified, some expensive visuals were adjusted, and some lighting distances were tuned to reduce unnecessary cost.

Lower settings received special attention as well. Cistern, Crossroads, and Fugitive Camp should now look better on lower graphics settings. We fixed cases where lighting could become too dark, too bright, or lose the intended atmosphere. A new post-process fog setup was also added to help preserve the mood of certain areas while still supporting performance.

This is an ongoing effort, but this update should already feel better for players who are not running the game on high settings.

Gear, Outfits & World Fixes

Some of the outfit work from previous newsletters also moved from “visual rework” into the less visible but very necessary integration stage.

Coarse Leather, Apprentice gear, and Bazaar Cutpurse all received additional fixes, adjustments, icons, skinning work, morph support, belt and shoulder updates, localization, and loot table integration. This is the part of gear development that often takes longer than expected. It is not enough for an outfit to look good in a render. It also has to work with body morphs, companions, icons, inventory data, equipment slots, loot rules, selection screens, and character previews.

We also continued improving the nudity filter setup. The new minimal underwear layer is now much closer to what we wanted visually, and it behaves better with the overall character aesthetic.

Outside of gear, there were many fixes across levels and encounters. Some enemies that could get stuck were adjusted, navigation was cleaned up in several places, companion behavior issues were fixed, some combat-level seating problems were corrected, boss behavior received attention, and various map, quest, collision, chest, and level completion issues were addressed.

Localization also received another pass, including new translation imports and Turkish text corrections.

Lingerie, Tattoo & The Follow-Up Plan

We know some of you were hoping to see lingerie & tattoos in this update. We were hoping for that too.

The good news is that the first lingerie sets and tattoo designs already exist, and work on the system has started. The reason it is not included in the May 15 build is that we do not want it to be a simple “buy an icon and guess what it looks like” feature.

The lingerie system is actually a more involved mechanic. Lucieta will sell these pieces through a separate flow, and they will use Emeralds instead of regular gold. We also want our players to be able to preview how a piece looks before buying it. Since lingerie is so visual by nature, selling it only through icons would feel wrong.

That means the vendor, currency, preview behavior, item setup, transparency handling, shaders, UI, and character display all need to work properly before we ship it.

So we are holding it back from this build rather than forcing it into a rough version. Our current plan is to add it in a follow-up update within 1–2 weeks after May 15.

Looking Ahead

The May 15 update is mostly about making the game deeper, smoother, and more stable.

The Skill Tree is the headline feature, but a lot of important work happened around it: healing magic, spell integration, combat polish, animation fixes, performance improvements, lower-setting visuals, outfit integration, body physics, bug fixes, and groundwork for the lingerie system.

Thank you for being patient with us while we build these larger systems properly. We know some features take longer than expected, but we would rather take the extra time than release them in a state that does not feel good enough.

More soon 🖤

The Team ⚔️

Hello everyone 🖤

You’re absolutely right to feel like the 15th is still far away. We feel it too. That’s why, instead of going quiet between major updates, we want to keep you more regularly in the loop.

So here’s what we focused on this week.

Sound & Atmosphere Improvements

In some levels, when you weren’t in combat, things felt too quiet, almost like the game had no sound at all.

We’ve been working on fixing that balance. Ambient sound has been increased, and we’ve started introducing music to areas that felt too empty before.

New theme music has been added to: Maiden Tower, Yedikule and Grand Bazaar.

It’s a subtle change, but it makes a big difference in how these spaces feel when you’re just exploring.

Combat Updates: Fury Attacks & Polish

Combat is getting closer to where we want it to be.

Every weapon now has a Fury Attack. This has been a big missing piece, and it’s finally in.

Alongside that, we’ve:

• Added missing animations

• Improved existing ones

• Updated impact sounds and hit effects

You’ll especially notice improvements across several weapons. One of the bigger changes is that some weapons previously had only a single special attack, now every weapon has two. New additions like Eviscerate for the Dagger, Reap for the Great Axe, Impale for the Great Spear, and Sekhmet’s Reckoning for the Great Mace help round things out, making combat feel more complete overall. 

Heavier weapons like Great Sword, Great Mace, and Great Axe now feel much more impactful, both visually and in sound.

Between Fury attacks, improved animations, and better audio feedback, the overall experience is becoming more responsive and satisfying.

Gear Update: Bazaar Cutpurse Rework

The Bazaar Cutpurse Set has been completely rebuilt.

The previous version didn’t fully match the tone of the game, so instead of tweaking it, we redesigned it from scratch.

This is part of a broader effort, going back and bringing older gear in line with the current visual direction.

Nudity Filter

Nudity is still fully optional, and that won’t change.

What we’ve been struggling with was how it looks when nudity was turned off.

We tried several solutions. Simple covers, patch-like fixes… even more “hidden” approaches but they all ended up making outfits or characters look worse in one way or another.

So instead of forcing something invisible, we leaned in a different direction.

The current solution is a minimal underwear layer, similar to a thin string bikini.

It still does its job, but even if parts of it become visible under clothing, it doesn’t look out of place or break the overall aesthetic.

It took longer than expected, but this is the first version that actually feels right to us.

And honestly… we ended up liking it enough that some of you might even prefer it as a visual option until the full lingerie system arrives 🙂

Skill Tree Progress

Work on the Skill Tree continues at full speed.

All Weapon Skills and Combat Skills are now implemented and expected to be working properly. This is a big milestone for us.

Spells still need testing and refinement (Venom Storm, Doom Shroud and Goddess Grace) and all other skills implemented exception of Byzantine Charm (better vendor buy/sell), Amazonian Rage (party damage) and Matriarch's Gift (XP gain)

They are in the game, but still need testing and refinement.

Looking Ahead

We’d like to start squeezing in Lingerie and Tattoos.

But it really depends on how much time Skill Tree testing will take.

This week has been less about big flashy features and more about tightening the experience of how the game feels moment to moment.

For those of you supporting us on Patreon, our Insider supporters are already able to jump into the test build and see most of these changes firsthand, without waiting for the 15th. It’s been incredibly helpful for us to get early feedback during this phase.

We’ll keep sharing these updates so you don’t have to wait in silence until the 15th.

More soon 🖤

The Team ⚔️

Hello everyone 🖤

It’s been 3 weeks since our last update, feels like it was just last week. Our next update is planned for May 15. Sounds like a long time… but with everything we’re working on, it somehow feels like it won’t be enough 🙂

The Biggest Piece: Skill Tree

The Skill Tree is the main focus of this update.

Its visible side is mostly in place now. Icons, spells, and many gameplay effects are already integrated. But there’s still a lot happening behind the scenes.

We’ve also merged attribute points directly into the Skill Tree. This means:

• You can assign skill points and attribute points on the same screen

• Instantly see how those changes affect your character

• Manage your companions’ progression from the same place

Since builds now matter more, you’ll also be able to clearly see which weapons your character and companions are using while distributing points. One of the key features here is that you can modify the attributes and skill trees of all your companions, not just those currently in your party.

Respec & Build Freedom

With the addition of spells and deeper progression, mana has become much more important.

You might find yourself wanting to reset your build and invest more into Intellect or Wisdom.

And yes, respec is now available:

• First reset is free

• Each additional reset costs progressively more gold

This way, you can experiment freely early on, while still making meaningful long-term decisions.

Spells & Combat Choices

Spells are turning out to be one of the most exciting additions.

• Curse & Poison spells provide strong AoE damage, especially in close combat

• Healing restores both you and nearby companions

But this also makes choosing your special skills much harder.

While spells and healing are powerful and fun, we’ve also updated several weapon abilities:

• Improved animations, VFX, and SFX

• For example, the Spear special attack feels significantly better

You can switch things around depending on what feels the most fun. Flexibility is exactly what we want.

Gear Updates: Coarse Leather Rework

We’ve started revisiting our armor sets.

The quest set Coarse Leather has been:

• Visually reworked

• Expanded with new pieces like belts and shoulders

You’ll be able to find these updated versions in early Tier 1 levels.

This is just the beginning. We’ll continue improving more sets over time.

Work in Progress

Alongside all of this, we’re continuing improvements across the board:

• Optimization

• VFX & Audio polish

• Reworking older outfits

There’s still a lot to do, but things are coming together.

Looking Ahead

This update is shaping up to be one of our biggest so far.

Even though May 15 feels both far away and very close at the same time, we’re pushing hard to make sure everything lands in a satisfying state.

As always, your feedback continues to guide us.

More soon 🖤 The Team ⚔️

Hello Concubiners 👋

This update focuses on performance optimizations, world polish, and foundational system improvements across multiple areas of the game.

While smaller in scope compared to major updates, these changes improve stability, visual quality, and gameplay consistency as we continue building toward a smoother and more refined experience.

Let’s dive in!

Performance & Optimization

We’ve made significant improvements to performance, especially in large environments and complex scenes.

• Major lighting and batching optimizations across multiple areas (Topkapi, Caravan, Galata Square, Docks, Hippodrome)

• Reduced draw calls and overdraw in key locations

• Improved shadow performance and adjusted shadow settings

• Disabled unnecessary shadow casting on selected meshes

• Optimized Niagara scalability with improved culling

• Fixed volumetric cloud performance issues

• General environment and rendering optimizations across multiple maps

These changes aim to provide a more stable and smoother gameplay experience, especially in dense areas.

World & Environment Improvements

We continued refining environments to improve visual consistency and navigation.

• Fixed navigation issues in Countryyard and CaravanSerai (stairs)

• Adjusted lighting setups across multiple locations

• Improved placement of static characters and environment assets

• Added additional chests to Byzantine Graveyard

• Updated area configurations for chest spawning limits

• Minor visual and environmental polish across several regions

Combat & Gameplay Adjustments

We made targeted balance and gameplay improvements to enhance combat flow and player experience.

• Skeleton minion damage adjusted for better balance

• Updated Graveyard objective logic and related UI text (WIP improvements)

• Improved vendor behavior:

  • Vendors now open trade on initial interaction

  • Better distribution of weapons and armor in vendor inventories

UI & Map Improvements

We’ve started improving clarity and feedback in map and progression systems.

• Difficulty indicators added to map system, you can now check your weapon & armor & health comparison against that map;

  • Green = Player is above expectations

  • Yellow = Player is at or slightly below expectations

  • Red = Player values are significantly below expectations

Bug Fixes

• Fixed guards in the Palace spawning incorrectly inside the floor

• Fixed various navigation and pathing issues across maps

• Fixed incorrect frame rate limit settings in game options

• Minor fixes and stability improvements across multiple systems

• Fixed translation errors in German and the most of the translation has been improved through word and sentence revisions.

Thank You

Thank you for your continued support and feedback. This update focuses on improving performance, stability, and core systems, and we’ll continue expanding on these foundations in upcoming updates.

Keep sharing your thoughts with us. We’re listening. 🔥

Hello everyone, we hope you’ve been doing well. 🖤

As always, we’ve been closely following your feedback on Discord and Steam while working on this week’s update. With every build, we try to stay true to what Concubine is meant to be; a satisfying loop of combat, progression, and collecting gear that not only makes you stronger, but also lets you express your style.

Whether you’re optimizing your inventory, chasing better loot, or dressing your character and companions in your favorite outfits, that core experience is something we want to protect and improve step by step.

About The Early Access Gift Armor & Costumes

First things first. Our players reported their concerns about Early Access armor & costume gift sets being exclusive to Early Access players and being erased from game history after Early Access. 

This will not be the case. Every Early Access set will forever be optionally obtainable by our future players and will never be erased from the game. Our Early Access players continue to get our special & seasonal gift sets free of charge as before. 

We sincerely thank you for your concern & constructive feedback. 

When Combat Starts Feeling Off

Over the past week, both your feedback and our internal playtests pointed to something important.

After the potion changes, your feedback suggested the combat was becoming more challenging & frustrating and early levels felt unexpectedly difficult. The smooth “run in, fight, loot, upgrade” flow was not quite the same as before.

We had the same discussions internally. Should Concubine lean more towards a power fantasy or should it push players to engage more deeply with builds and gear?

At first glance, it felt like a simple balance issue. But the more we tested, the clearer it became that the real problem was something else.

Understanding Why Something Feels Difficult

We realized that even if your level matches an area, your equipment might not.

In many cases, our players were entering areas that looked appropriate for their level, but their weapons or armor were still below what was required. Previously, this could be masked by heavy potion usage but with cooldowns in place the gap became much more noticeable.

So instead of simply making things easier again, we wanted to make the system more transparent. With this update, we’re introducing a new way to help you understand what’s really going on.

A Clearer Picture of Your Build

You’ll now see indicators that reflect how challenging an area is for your current setup, not just your level.

This includes:

• Your currently equipped weapon

• Your armor

• Your HP

In short, the indicators reflect how strong your current build is, meaning switching weapons can immediately change how challenging an area feels.

For example, an area that feels balanced with a strong melee weapon might suddenly become challenging if you switch to a weaker ranged one. The goal is to make these differences visible, so you can make informed decisions about your builds and get ready for our oncoming Skill Tree update.

A Small Shift in How You Approach Progression

During testing, this system changed how we approached the game ourselves.Instead of forcing our way through harder areas, we naturally started asking:

• Should I upgrade my weapon first?

• Should I farm a boss for better gear?

• Am I underprepared for this tier?

That’s exactly the kind of decision-making we want to encourage, without taking away the fast, satisfying flow of combat and of course, loot!

Looking Ahead

This week’s update is a smaller, more focused step, but an important one for how the game feels moment to moment. We’ve also included a small but noticeable visual improvement with updated jiggle physics, a subtle touch, but one we think many of you will appreciate.

With the next update, we’re shifting gears a bit.

We’ll be expanding the Skill Tree, while also diving deeper into lingerie and tattoo systems, bringing more ways to customize, personalize, and shape your character and companions.

Also, we decided to improve our armor & costume sets, especially the higher tier ones. It is a time consuming task to revisit all armor sets, but starting with the starter armor set, our players will see the difference between old and new versions. We hope you will like our new design approach!

If you’ve been looking forward to more visual progression and expression beyond combat, the upcoming updates are very much for you.

As always, everything will continue evolving with your feedback, and we’re just getting started.

Thank You 🖤

We’re incredibly grateful for all the feedback, discussions, and suggestions you continue to share with us. Every message helps us better understand how you experience Concubine.

We hope this update makes the overall experience clearer and more satisfying, and we’re excited to hear what you think.

See you very soon,

The Team ⚔️

Hello Concubiners 👋

Thank You

Thank you for your continued support, feedback, and passion.

Update 0.3.1 focuses on strengthening core systems and improving gameplay depth, and we’ll continue building on these foundations in upcoming updates.

Enjoy the update and keep sharing your thoughts with us. We’re listening. 🔥

Hello everyone,

We hope you’ve been doing well. 🖤

As we get closer to the March 19 update, we wanted to share a small look at what the team has been working on lately. This build includes a mix of gameplay improvements, boss updates, visual polish, and a small surprise prepared especially for players who joined us during Early Access.

Like every update, it’s another step forward for the game. Some changes are big and immediately noticeable, while others quietly improve the overall feel of the experience.

Alongside the full patch notes, here are a few highlights we wanted to talk about.

Companions Can Finally Use Healing Potions

One of the most noticeable additions in this update is something many players have asked about: companions are now able to use healing potions.

Instead of automating the process, we chose to keep this ability under the player’s control. During our testing we quickly realized that automatic potion use could easily drain your inventory at the worst possible moments. The new system allows you to trigger companion potions directly in combat, giving you more tactical control without removing the challenge of resource management.

While working on this system, we also revisited parts of the companion interface. Their portraits now display the actual characters rather than placeholder silhouettes, and the UI offers clearer reminders for potion hotkeys. It’s a small improvement, but one that should make managing companions feel more natural during intense fights.

To keep combat balanced, healing potions now also include a cooldown period, preventing them from being spammed endlessly.

Korsan Boss Fight & Combat Improvements

Boss encounters are an area we’ve been steadily revisiting, and this update brings one of the bigger improvements.

With this build, Korsan finally arrives with his proper combat setup. The fight now combines firearm attacks with fast dagger strikes in close combat, making the encounter far more dynamic than the earlier placeholder version.

We’ve also improved enemy encounters in the Graveyard levels and the Crypt. Skeleton fights now feel more atmospheric and tense, enemies advance more slowly, building pressure as they approach. Some skeletons can even pull additional undead from the ground, turning a simple fight into a sudden swarm rising from the soil.

Our long-term goal is to revisit each major enemy and boss in the game, gradually improving their mechanics, animations, and overall encounter design.

A Thank-You for Early Access Players

We’ve also been working on something special for players who supported the game during Early Access.

During Early Access, a unique outfit called The First Guard Set will be available from the costume vendor. Once the game reaches full release, this set will be removed from vendors and will no longer be obtainable.

At the moment it functions purely as a costume, but we’ve been discussing ways it could gain additional value later on. One idea we’re currently exploring is allowing the set to provide a small progression bonus, potentially around 15–25% increased XP gain, for players who want to start a fresh playthrough when the full version of the game launches.

We’re also considering making the outfit account-bound rather than character-bound, meaning players who obtained it during Early Access could still access it on newly created characters even after the vendor version disappears.

We’ll share more details as those decisions become final.

Ongoing Improvements Across the Game

Beyond these larger features, a significant part of this update has been focused on refining different aspects of the game.

We’ve been polishing enemy animations, improving combat reactions, adjusting character visuals, and addressing a number of smaller technical issues. There are also improvements to character expressions, hair behavior, environmental details, and several UI elements that should make the overall experience smoother.

We were also hoping to include the tattoo system in this update, but after testing it internally we felt it still needed a bit more refinement before being ready. Rather than rushing it into this build, we decided to give it some additional time so it can arrive in a better state in a future update.

Many of these changes may seem small on their own, but together they help the game feel more responsive, more polished, and more alive.

Steam Cloud & Workshop

This update also introduces support for Steam Cloud and the Steam Workshop, bringing a couple of highly requested features to the game.

With Steam Cloud now enabled, your save files will be automatically backed up and synchronized across devices. This means you can continue your progress seamlessly from different computers, without worrying about losing your data.

We’ve also opened access to the Steam Workshop. While the game does not yet have full official mod support, it is already possible to create and share certain types of content such as presets and other modifications. Players can upload their creations and explore content shared by others.

It’s important to note that Workshop content currently requires some manual steps to install and manage. To help with this, we’ve prepared both an Upload Guide and a Download Guide.

As with many systems in Early Access, this is just the beginning. We’ll continue improving Workshop support and exploring ways to expand modding possibilities over time.

Bug Fixes & Patch Notes

As always, the update also includes a wide range of fixes and smaller improvements across different systems.

The full detailed list will be shared together with the patch notes when the update goes live.

Thank You 🖤

We’re incredibly grateful for everyone who continues to support the game during Early Access. Your feedback, reports, and discussions help guide our priorities with every new build.

We’re excited for you to try this update when it arrives on March 19, and we hope you enjoy the changes we’ve been working on.

See you very soon,

The Team ⚔️

Hello everyone,

Today we’re updating our Development Roadmap on Steam and we wanted to give you a proper breakdown of what has changed, what’s been completed, and what we’re currently focused on.

Since the February 13 update, your feedback has been incredibly motivating. Reviews have remained Very Positive, and we’re happy to see many of you enjoying the improved combat experience.

Let’s dive in.

✅ Complete Tutorial

The full tutorial experience is now implemented and guides new players more clearly into the core systems of the game.

✅ Localization – 13 Languages

Localization is now fully available in 13 languages. We’re continuing to monitor feedback and polish translations where needed.

Steam Achievements – Prioritized for Combat Impact

Our Steam achievement icons are ready, and technically achievements were obtainable in-game. However, we made a decision to prioritize combat improvements first. With the combat improvements in place, achievements will feel much more rewarding. We want to finalize Steam achievements after the Skill Tree update, once progression is added.

5 / 13 – New Boss Combat Mechanics

One of our main development priorities recently has been boss encounters.

Several bosses that were previously functioning more as structural placeholders have now been redesigned into fully realized fights with proper mechanics, improved behavior patterns and stronger combat identity. The goal wasn’t just visual polish it was to make each encounter feel mechanically distinct and memorable.

Boss fights now feel:

●       More reactive

●       More dangerous

●       More dynamic in pacing

●       More rewarding when you finally bring them down

At this point, five major boss encounters have reached the quality level we were aiming for.

Right now, our focus has shifted to the next one, Korsan is currently in active development. This fight introduces new combat rhythm and encounter flow, and we’re tuning it carefully before the March 19 update.

More details soon.

3 / 5 – New Player Bases & Furniture Sets

With the latest build, you now have three fully decoratable player bases available (Tha Palace, Winter Palace, and Lunar Palace).

We had planned to introduce an additional themed base in this update, but it required more polish before release. Our goal is to have five fully customizable bases before v 1.0 and more after, also expanding decoration options.

16 / 19 – New Static & Random Zones

Most of our planned levels and random encounter zones are now implemented and playable. Three additional zones are in development, they’re largely built, but we’re currently focusing on:

●       Agro & balance adjustments

●       Enemy placements

●       Encounter pacing

●       Overall polish

We want these areas to feel cohesive and properly integrated into progression before calling them complete.

5 / 6 – Companion Rescue Missions

Rescuable companions are in game. We plan to add one more rescue mission to complete this system until v 1.0 and beyond. We also have additional ideas for alternative companion recruitment methods in the future.

(No spoilers for new players 😉)

2 / 3 – Facial Expressions, Animations & Poses

We’ve added new combat animations and poses, and we’ll continue polishing them. Facial expressions are currently work-in-progress. You can expect visible improvements in all upcoming updates, we’ll go deeper into this topic in a future newsletter.

Customization

Makeup is now in the game, with ongoing bug fixes for certain elements (like eyeliner and eye shadow).

We’re also planning to expand customization further with:

●       Tattoos

●       Nail polish

●       Additional cosmetic refinements

This system will continue evolving.

15 / 19 – New Enemy & Mini Boss Types

Most planned enemy types and bosses are now in-game.

Some encounters still need stronger identity and presence, certain characters exist but don’t yet feel like true “mini-boss” moments. We’re improving encounter design to make them feel more impactful.

Traders & Equipment

Accessory and costume traders are partially implemented, and additional specialized traders (Legendary & Lingerie) are planned.

As new zones are finalized, we’ll continue expanding and refining gear collections & progression to keep rewards meaningful and balanced.

Weapon & Armor Enhancements

The system exists in-game, but some elements (including potion interactions and functionality) require improvements. This will be addressed in future updates.

More Combat Animations & VFX (Ongoing)

Combat continues to be one of our biggest focus areas.

We’ve already added:

●       New animations

●       Improved VFX

●       Better encounter feedback

And this is ongoing work.

Upcoming improvements will also touch on Companion AI and healing behavior, more on that very soon.

Skill Tree & Spellcasting

This system is planned to begin after the next major update.

We’re intentionally not giving an exact date, development sometimes throws unexpected technical delays, but our current goal is to introduce the skill tree shortly after the March update.

Controller Support

While combat already supports controllers, we plan to significantly improve and polish overall controller functionality after the skill tree implementation.

Looking Ahead

Some larger systems, like Endless Arena, advanced boss interactions, companion creatures, and deeper progression systems, are part of our long-term vision.

We’re moving step by step, focusing first on solidifying the core experience:

●       Combat

●       Boss fights

●       Zones

●       Companions

●       Customization

Once the foundation is strong, we’ll expand further.

Thank you for supporting the game and for the very positive reviews since the last update.

We’re building this step by step, and we’re excited for what’s coming next.

More details about the March 19 update soon.

❤️ Thank You!

We sincerely thank you for your continued support, feedback, and passion.

Major Update 0.3.0 is a step forward on our roadmap. We will keep improving combat, AI, customization and add new content even further in the upcoming updates, prioritizing according to your feedback. 

Enjoy the update and please keep telling us what you want next. We’re listening.

Hello everyone,

We hope you’ve been doing well. 🖤 For us, every new update brings a fresh wave of excitement, and this one is no exception.

Even though there’s still so much more we want to build, the February 13th update is shaping up to be one of our most enjoyable milestones so far. The team has already begun internal testing, and honestly… we’ve been having a great time with this build. We can’t wait for you to jump in and experience it too.

Alongside the full patch notes, we wanted to share a quick highlight of what’s coming.

A Stronger Combat Experience

This update is heavily focused on combat improvements, making fights feel more responsive, readable, and satisfying.

One of the first things we asked ourselves was:

Why not let players properly experiment before committing to a weapon?

That’s why the training dummies in the tutorial have been improved. During the tutorial, they’ll help you understand the basics, and once you complete it, they remain available for continued practice. You’ll be able to test weapons, special attacks, and different fighting styles before taking them into real encounters.

We’ve also updated several weapon animations, including jumping and attack transitions, so combat flows more naturally both in practice and in battle.

Enemies Fight Back, Especially Against Bows

Speaking of battle… ranged combat has become much more engaging.

Enemies are no longer completely helpless against bow users, meaning you’ll need to stay alert and position carefully. Archery should feel and sound powerful, but not effortless.

We’ve seen feedback from players who prefer single-weapon combat. Auto-loot can still occasionally place one-handed weapons into the off-hand, and this hasn’t been adjusted in this update yet.

If you’d like to avoid that for now, equipping a shield in the off-hand will block additional weapon equips.

Also blocking with shields is now significantly more enjoyable. The feedback, timing, and flow have all been improved.

Dual wield fans aren’t left behind either. Dual wield combat animations have also received an update, making fast-paced fighting smoother than ever.

Bosses, Monsters, and More Impactful Encounters

Some of the biggest improvements in this build are focused on major enemies and boss encounters.

Creatures like Flavius, Ecinni, Gulyabani, and Mankurt have received updates across:

• Combat animations

• Visual effects

• Sound effects

• Overall encounter feel

Boss fights should now feel more intense, more cinematic, and more rewarding, especially when you finally see that “Boss Defeated” screen after a hard battle.

Companions Are Improving

We’ve made several code-side improvements to companion behavior, and while they’re not exactly where we want them to be yet, they now take much more meaningful action in combat.

They engage more consistently and contribute better during fights. That said, companions still don’t use potions, and they aren’t yet smart enough to retreat when their health gets critically low.

However, with the right preparation, they can become surprisingly reliable allies. Equipping accessories obtained from Ja’far, especially those that increase armor and vitality, significantly improves their survivability and allows them to stand their ground much longer in battle.

Companion AI remains an active area of development, and we’ll continue refining their behavior in future updates.

Onboarding Complete; A Clearer Start for Everyone

We’ve also fully completed our onboarding improvements.

New players should no longer feel lost when entering the game. You’ll start with clearer guidance, better knowledge of shortcuts, and a smoother introduction into the world.

After completing your first objectives and returning to the palace, your journey will naturally continue through the world map: starting from the Caravanserai and progressing through levels as they unlock one by one.

As you explore new instances, you’ll have a better sense of:

• What objectives await

• Whether a companion can be rescued

A smoother path forward, without losing the spirit of discovery.

Introducing the Lunar Palace Base

Finally, we’re excited to share a brand new base to decorate:

✨ The decoratable Lunar Palace base is now available on the map. ✨

With spring approaching, the palace offers a beautiful atmospheric space filled with warm evening lighting, lantern-lined paths, and the perfect setting to experiment with new decorations.

It’s also an amazing spot for taking photos with your companions, we’ve already captured some of our favorite moments there during testing.

Bug Fixes & Full Patch Notes

Alongside these major additions, this update includes a wide range of bug fixes and polish improvements.

The full detailed list will be shared with the patch notes when the update goes live.

Thank You 🖤

As always, thank you for your continued support, feedback, and reviews. Every message helps us shape the game into something better.

We’re truly excited to share this build with you on February 13th, and we hope you enjoy what’s coming next.

See you very soon,

The Team ⚔️

Hello everyone,

First of all, we hope 2026 has been treating you well so far. 🖤 After our recent polish patch, we’ve been fully back in production mode, and we want to share a quick update on what’s happening next.

In our last post, we mentioned that the next major update would focus heavily on combat improvements, animations, and enemy AI. We’ve already started moving in that direction, and the scope has grown into something much more foundational than a quick follow-up patch.

Originally, we aimed to return with a substantial update on January 23rd, but after our latest internal review, we realized we wouldn’t be able to deliver the kind of quality we want within that timeframe. The work we’re doing involves deeper systems and more structural changes, which means things can (and will) break along the way, and we need proper time not only to implement improvements, but also to stabilize and polish everything afterward.

Because of that, we’ve decided to shift the release date to February 13th, and come back with a larger, more meaningful update, similar in scale to what we delivered before the new year.

What We’ve Been Working On So Far

Over the past days, we’ve already made solid progress across multiple areas, especially combat feel, animation consistency, performance stability, and content prep for upcoming seasonal moments.

On the combat and animation side, we’ve been pushing forward with a wide range of improvements: updates to jump states, weapon handling, new run hand keys for bow movement, spear light attack iterations, dual wield combat refinements, blocking improvements, and a lot of animation/retarget work to make movement and combat transitions feel more readable and responsive. We also resolved some major technical issues like root motion, fixed broken skeletons, and continued expanding weapon coverage and testing scenes to support faster iteration.

We’ve also been cleaning up stability issues and preventing future headaches. That includes fixing null reference errors, addressing boss aggro problems by reworking enemy class structure, improving localization pipeline reliability (including a converter bug that could affect Turkish PO files), and rolling out translation updates to keep things consistent across languages.

On the art and presentation side, we’ve done a large pass on texture import settings (especially UI-heavy assets), improved optimization for HDRI textures, and refined image padding/streaming settings to improve performance and consistency. We also made progress on cloth physics work, especially on Gilded Ottoman skirts, with the goal of making them behave more reliably and stop exploding during gameplay.

Finally, we’ve started early production and setup work for seasonal and upcoming content. This includes importing and setting up Chinese New Year base-building assets, collision setup passes for the level, fixes for third-party environment packs, and continued development of new enemy content such as Gulyabani and Mankurt which is still actively in progress.

Some of these features and improvements are still work-in-progress, and we’ll continue iterating on them until they meet the quality bar we’re aiming for.

What We’re Aiming to Finish by February 13th

Between now and February 13th, our focus will be on completing a full combat and AI pass while also delivering meaningful new content and seasonal additions.

On the content side, we’re preparing the Lunar Festival (Chinese New Year costume, decoratable base, decorations, lighting, and poses), as well as Valentine’s Day poses. We’re also working on marketing images for Steam and polishing presets and UI elements, including updated Pose Mode icons and better weapon hand pivot alignment for improved readability and consistency.

On the gameplay side, this next phase is where the real “big update” work happens: a deeper combat overhaul including blocking behavior (both player and enemy), rolling, ranged enemy behavior fixes, aggro/vision improvements, companion edge cases (stuck blocking, low health effects, healing logic), VFX persistence fixes, and overall enemy balancing. We’ll also be polishing existing enemy encounters and pushing toward more complete boss setup work, including the Gulyabani and Mankurt boss fights, alongside collision fixes, armor and outfit reworks, and general environment polish. In addition, we’re working on character liveliness improvements such as eye movement and blinking, to make the main character feel more alive and expressive during gameplay.

Thank You 🖤

As always, thank you for your continued support, feedback, and reviews. Every message helps us steer the game in the right direction and we’re excited to return on February 13th with a much larger update focused on the improvements that matter most.

See you very soon, — The Team ⚔️

Hello everyone,

First of all we wish you all a wonderful 2026. 🖤 We hope the new year treats you well.

After our big Holiday Update, the team took a short two-week slowdown. Not a full stop, more like a moment to breathe, play our own game, take notes, and realign our priorities for what comes next.

This Friday, we’ll be releasing a small polish update, and we wanted to give you a quick look at what we’ve been working on. 👇

🛠️ This Week’s Polish Update

This update focuses on smoothing some rough edges we identified.

Localization Fixes

• Fixed missing and incorrect localization entries

• Enemy names that were previously left untranslated are now properly localized

• Improved consistency and clarity across multiple languages

UI Improvements

• Performance and optimization fixes across several UI screens

• Small usability tweaks based on player feedback

World & Level Work

• Continued early work on an upcoming new level

• Internal iteration and layout adjustments are underway

Combat Improvements (Work in Progress)

Although our main combat improvement focused sprint starts next week, we’ve already begun addressing some key issues, especially around bows.

We’re currently improving bow targeting so that:

• Arrows no longer fly awkwardly across the screen

• Leading shots feels more intuitive and readable

This is achieved by attempting to detect a nearby target and using it as a depth cue, making ranged combat feel more controlled and satisfying. More on this very soon.

Seasonal Preparations

We’ve also started light preparations for:

• Valentine’s Day

• Chinese New Year

Nothing to reveal just yet, but we wanted you to know these seasonal moments are very much on our radar.

💚 Thank You, and What’s Next

Thanks to your support, feedback, and reviews, Concubine is currently rated Very Positive in All Reviews, and Mostly Positive in Recent Reviews on Steam.

Please take a minute to review Concubine on Steam if you are enjoying it. Every positive review is an invaluable support for us & our games. 

Our next goal is: With focused combat improvements over the coming month, we’re aiming to push Recent Reviews into Very Positive as well.

If everything goes according to plan, we’ll see you again with a much more substantial update on January 23rd.

Until then, thank you for being part of this journey and for helping us shape the game step by step.

See you very soon, — The Team ⚔️

The world of Concubine just became bigger.

From rewritten item names to refined dialogues, every language version has gone through careful revisions with the help of our amazing volunteers.

We would like to thank the people from our community who helped us on translations:

MedonloHambo, dogeneral, Leiden, Gnome, Atrixsanna, Mr.Purge, Shineko Kunoichi, Thomas Phoenix, RED.POSHER, Chispita

Please remember this is an ongoing effort and we will constantly continue to update and improve our localized versions.

Hello Concubiners!

In this update, we are adding 12 new languages to Concubine. Concubine is now available in Arabic, Chinese, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and Turkish.

Please remember we are a small indie team with limited resources, our localizations were done by volunteers from our great community. We thank our volunteers who worked night and day to bring this update live, and we sincerely apologise for any possible mistakes in our translations. We will continue to improve our localized version with feedback from you.

Also in this update, you will find a Complete Player Tutorial. Destan and Favorite will now welcome our new players with a full tutorial. Follow the breadcrumbs in The Palace, and learn how to fight before you’re thrown to the wolves.

Winter Palace can be found to the northeast on your map, along with more than a hundred new year’s decorations and two new free costume sets, Alluring Santa & Spicy Elves. Carpenter also decided to ride her caravan to Winter Palace & open shop for your convenience. 

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

Due to high demand, Lucieta has opened her shop. If you missed your chance to get your free Halloween and Thanksgiving gifts, they have now returned and are available in her collection. For a price, of course.
