Full Steam announcements and update articles for this title.
– Added Memory Search feature to the Compendium. Memories can now be filtered by their content, unlock state, region and time.
– Added a System Message that appears the first time a Hint Coin is used.
– Increased the maximum available Compendium font size.
– Added brief cooldowns between scrolling in/out and middle-click actions for stability.
– Fixed an issue causing duplicated hint labels.
– Corrected some Memory typos.
Small follow-up:
– Fixed minor Memory panel display bugs.
– Fixed an issue where newly unlocked Memories could fail to save if the game is closed immediately afterwards without using "Save & Exit". Any affected Memories will now be recovered automatically upon loading the game.
– Using a Hint Coin to complete a puzzle now correctly triggers the completion animation.
– Fixed a bug where region completion notification appears twice.
– Added Steam achievements. Existing players will unlock earned achievements retroactively when loading the game.
– Added Hint Coins, which can be spent to reveal a random empty or incorrectly filled cell. Revealed cells are permanently locked, spent coins cannot be recovered, and more Hint Coins are earned by revealing the map.
– Cell Counting has been renamed to Cell Marking, with a new Sticky option. The default Temporary mode works as before, while Sticky marks remain on the board until cleared.
– Cell Marking no longer marks inert cells or Blue Cores.
– Added controller and keyboard support for navigating the Puzzle UI overlay.
– Fixed some button bindings and key input combinations not working consistently.

Small follow-up:
– Added an option to hide the Hint Coin wallet.
– Added new blue marker behaviour options (On, Off, and Errors Only) for clearer feedback when Blue cell rules are not met. – Cell Counter now removes cells from the count when you drag back over highlighted cells. – Added an Overwrite Cells option (off by default). Enable it to let fill and cross actions change already filled or crossed cells. – Cell Info now also shows the cell’s row/column number. – Updated the drag action count so it behaves more consistently while filling or crossing cells. – Fixed input lag when dragging over cells very quickly. – Fixed an issue where areas revealed by a Reality Anchor could become hidden again if the game was closed before saving. Affected saves should now reveal those areas automatically on load. – Fixed "Reset to Default Keybindings" not working properly. – Fixed button tooltips sometimes not updating correctly after rebinding.
Small follow-up:
– Improved cursor positioning after display setup changes, such as switching monitors or using an external display.
– Added Middle Mouse cell highlighting for easier counting.
– Improved undo/redo behaviour for smoother move tracking.
– Updated Help Guide's "The Basics" page.
– Fixed Memory closing when scrolling during the region unlock sequence.
– Fixed typos in Memories.
After a lot of support and encouraging feedback along the way, I can finally share when Homgard will be ready.
Homgard launches on 29 April 2026! The full game continues far beyond the demo's opening chapter, with hundreds more stories, new nonogram mechanics, and plenty more puzzles to solve. The world may have ended, but it's still got more than a few surprises left! If you’ve played the demo already, thank you for spending time there and for all the thoughtful feedback so far. If you haven’t, the demo is still available and will remain so after launch, if you’d like to see how the story begins. Homgard will launch at $14.99 / €14.99 / £12.99, with a 10% launch discount.
