Important Notice

Due to internal structural changes, previous save files are no longer compatible with this update.

Please start a new save after updating.

Hello everyone,

Originally, we planned to release a single large update after all rework efforts had been completed. However, we realized that this approach would significantly extend the development timeline.

As a result, we have decided to release updates incrementally as each area reaches a playable state.

This update focuses on the reworked Twisted Forest, along with new enemies, boss improvements, gameplay system updates, optimization work, and a large number of bug fixes.

Twisted Forest Rework

The centerpiece of this update is the complete rework of the Twisted Forest region.

The overall structure of the area has been redesigned from the ground up, including major changes to the mine sections and several surrounding zones.

To improve exploration flow, save points, portals, NPC placements, and item placements have also been adjusted.

Parts of the tutorial area and the Rift have also been updated to match the new progression structure.

Details

• Redesigned the overall Twisted Forest layout

• Reworked mine areas

• Added new traps

• Added hidden walls

• Repositioned save points

• Adjusted portal locations

• Updated NPC and item placements

• Reworked portions of the tutorial area

• Updated the Rift's visual design

• Improved Rift portal structure

• Reworked PCG-based environmental placement

• Replaced various environmental objects

New Enemies & AI Improvements

Several new enemies have been added, while existing creatures have received new assets, animations, and behavior updates.

Ore Parasite

A new enemy found throughout the Twisted Forest.

These creatures tend to inhabit dark areas near glowing ore deposits and are capable of interacting with one another during combat.

Rumors suggest that certain variants are far more aggressive than others.

Bear

The previous bear has been replaced with a new asset set.

New animations and combat behaviors have been implemented.

Stag

A new stag now roams the larger open areas of the reworked Twisted Forest.

Details

General Improvements

• Updated movement-related systems

• Improved status effect handling

• Expanded Motion Warping usage

• Fixed various AI-related issues

New AI

• Ore Parasite

• Ore Parasite Variant

• Bear

• Stag

Removed AI

• Fox

• Wolf

• Ancient Golem

• Anubis

• Reaper

• Tervark

Some removed enemies, including Wolves, are planned to return in future regions with updated designs and gameplay roles.

Boss Improvements

The combat flow and encounter design of existing bosses have been significantly improved.

Several bosses have received new mechanics and attack patterns, while existing attacks have been adjusted for better readability, balance, and overall gameplay quality.

Updated Bosses

• Troll Chieftain

• Forest Elder

• Goblin Battle Mage

• Kraken

Details

• Improved combat behavior logic

System Improvements

Several gameplay and progression systems have been added or improved.

Fury

A new combat system, Fury, has been added.

When the Fury Gauge is full, using a Heavy Attack after Focus will activate Fury Mode.

While Fury is active, special effects are applied and players can adopt a much more aggressive combat style.

Successful attacks during Fury restore HP.

Fury Mode ends once the Fury Gauge is depleted.

White Tiger Spirit– Guard

The White Tiger Spirit, the player's starting weapon, now features a Guard mechanic.

Guarding reduces incoming damage by consuming Stamina when attacked from the front.

New Guard-related attributes have also been added.

Some attacks cannot be blocked.

Ladders

Climbable ladders have been added.

Crystal Enhancement & Redistribution

To ease early progression, Un-baek now offers limited Crystal Enhancement and Crystal Redistribution services.

Rift

Region progression has been redesigned.

Defeating certain bosses now grants key items that unlock access to new regions.

Unlocked regions can then be accessed through the Rift.

Currently, this system only applies to the Desert region, but future regions will adopt the same progression structure.

Details

Fury

• Added Fury Mode

• New animations and visual effects

• HP recovery on successful attacks

• New combo extensions

Rift & Portals

• Added region unlock system

• Improved portal framework

• Data Layer-based management system

New Consumable Items

Notes

Sound Effects & Visual Effects

Some sound effects and visual effects are not yet final.

While they function correctly, they may be replaced, improved, or expanded in future updates.

In certain situations, temporary effects, temporary sounds, or no effects at all may still be present.

Desert Region

The Desert region, which follows the Twisted Forest, has been left accessible for players who wish to explore it.

However, this area is currently under active development and undergoing significant level design and story revisions.

As a result, it does not yet provide the intended gameplay experience, and we do not currently recommend playing through it.

Please also note that content within this region has not yet been fully translated.

Bug Reports & Balance Feedback

Although extensive testing has been conducted prior to release, the scope of this update is substantial, and some issues may have gone unnoticed.

If you encounter bugs, balance issues, or anything that seems out of place during gameplay, we would greatly appreciate your feedback.

Your reports and suggestions will help shape future updates and improvements.

Future Plans

Work on reworking additional regions, including Jirisan and the Desert, will continue.

We also plan to further refine the progression system surrounding Divine Power Fragments and Accessories.

Going forward:

• Divine Power Fragments will focus primarily on modifying and altering the behavior of abilities.

• Accessories will gradually become the primary source of passive effects and character customization.

Our goal is to create clearer distinctions between progression systems while expanding build variety and player choice.

Once AI and item placement work for the Twisted Forest area is finished, an update containing the current system improvements and various bug fixes is planned.

We will continue improving the game moving forward.

Thank you for your support.

Hello, it’s been a while. I’m here to share the current progress of development.

1. New Area

As shown in the screenshots I shared previously, a new area is under development and is nearly complete. Once the seal is broken and you ascend to the top of the pyramid, you will be able to move on to the next area.

2. New AI

Three major new enemies are in progress:

• Three elites guarding the seal

• The final boss guarding the pyramid

• Tervark, located on a desert hill where a violent sandstorm blocks passage

The core patterns are mostly complete. Effects and sounds are currently temporary. If I feel the update is taking too long, I may push the update with temporary resources first and replace them later.

As for Tervark, I’m still unsure whether to include it, as I’m not fully satisfied with the current animation resources.

Additionally, the resources for the existing Stone Golem have been updated.

3. System Changes (Planned)

• Currently, when large monsters overlap with the player, they are pushed outward. However, when using animations with root motion, this pushback doesn’t always work. I’ve implemented a hybrid solution to fix this issue.

• There were cases where actions (abilities) became unresponsive if another action was triggered almost simultaneously at the end of an animation. I have reworked the internal system to prevent these lockups from happening.

• Most areas now use Virtual Textures, improving performance stability and texture quality.

• Save point information is now automatically sorted internally and displayed in order. Hovering over a save point in the travel list will now display its details.

• A Master Volume option has been added. A Gamma Adjustment option has been added.

• Cull Distance Volumes have been added, so small distant objects are automatically hidden.

• Internally, the way reference data is handled has been updated.

I am looking for someone to handle modeling for both new and existing characters.

BugFix

On first launch, the game saves default settings.

A bug was found where the game could crash due to an internal initialization order conflict during this process.

To fix this, the default settings are now saved after the initialization sequence is complete.

Add : Fixed an issue where the streaming system could occasionally cause crashes.

Here's a preview screenshot of the new zone i currently working on.

There is currently a crash that occurs when using Roaring Blow. This is caused by missing data, and I plan to fix it in the next update.

Fixed

The "Demo Save File" label is currently being applied incorrectly.

Save files from the Early Access version are being marked as DEMO.

This will be fixed in the next update.

BugFix and Changes

• Fixed a crash that occurred in the demo when certain data layers needed to be changed.

• Increased brightness in the graveyard area.

• Fixed an issue where potion recharge values were overwritten incorrectly.

• Fixed an issue where certain materials were not displaying correctly in some areas of the demo.

• I had missed the code that saves potion upgrade values, which caused some players' potion counts to break.

• To compensate, additional Vitality Crystals will now be granted—but only if your save was affected by this issue. I'm very sorry for the inconvenience.

Developer Log

Hello again. It’s been a while since the last post. With some freelance work going on alongside development, updates have slowed down a bit—so I wanted to share what I’m currently working on.

Internal Refactoring & System Changes

The internal structure of the class responsible for applying damage and effects has been reworked. Previously, only additive/subtractive effects stacked and resolved properly.

But in cases like:

“A 10-second attack power buff is applied, and then a 3-second buff is applied on top. When the 3-second buff ends, the game reverts to the default (no buff), ignoring the remaining duration of the 10-second buff.”

…you’d lose the longer buff entirely. This has now been changed: all effects are stacked and unstacked in proper order, restoring previous values correctly.

It also now supports multiplicative effects, division, and overrides, restoring values properly when those effects expire.

Trait Management Updated Internally

The way ability traits are handled has been refactored for stability and flexibility.

Spirits(Weapon) Now Have Unique Skills

Each Spirits (weapon type) now has its own unique skill. While only two Spirits currently exist, both now feature a special skill activated through a focus input.

• White Tiger Spirit – White Tiger Fang: Dash forward with a flurry of kicks. The final strike knocks enemies back.

• Reaper’s Spirit – Soul Sever: The player vanishes, slashes through enemies, and reappears while dashing again. The player is invincible during the vanished state.

Ability Types Added

Each ability now has one or more types assigned to it. (e.g. Magic, Nature, Fire / Physical, Blunt, Earth, etc.) This allows for more nuanced trait interactions in future updates.

Ability Traits Expanded

Traits are now tied to specific abilities and sold by Un-Beak.

Some examples:

• White Tiger Fang: Wrath, Endurance, Submission

• Roar: Brutality, Pressure, Breath

• Push: Force, Impact Transfer, Resolve

• Unburning Flame: Lingering, Cleanse

• Protected of Earth: Unyielding, Retaliation

• Nature's Resilience: Meditation, Cycle, Growth

• Flame Rage: Ignition, Overheat, Inflame

• Crystallize:  Deflect, Overload

• Full Moon: Chill Moon, Twin Moon, Moonlight

• Guided Crystal: Homing, Multi-Shard

• Impale: Radial Burst, Seeker

Other abilities are still in progress. Icons for trait shards now show the related ability for easier identification. Since the number of traits has increased, the UI for buying them will be overhauled—likely in the next or following update—to match the Reward Exchange UI style.

Additional Traits Planned

More traits will be added in upcoming patches.

Ability Logic Changes & Fixes

Some ability logic has been rewritten and several bugs have been fixed.

Team Member Recruitment

Important Notice

• Due to the difficulty of maintaining save file compatibility across major system changes,
• the save management system has been migrated to a version-based structure.
• Old save files may still function, but conflicts with the previous migration system can lead to loss of certain character data.
• I recommend starting a new game.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue where XP values and equipped gear were overwritten with default values during loading after recent internal code changes.
• Fixed a bug where villagers spawned by the Soulbinder could respawn after resting.
• Fixed an issue where the dragon encounter event was not resetting properly.

• Fixed a bug where the Texture Streaming Pool size setting was not saved correctly.
• Fixed an issue where the Harvester would remain in the world after the player died to it.

System Changes

Ability System Refactor

• Previous: A single instance of each ability was reused.
  • This made abilities with input buffering or chaining extremely difficult to manage
• Now: Specific abilities will create a new instance each time they are used.

• Fixed threading issues caused by input competition during ability chaining.
• Input effects on the player are now more strictly enforced.
  • e.g., SP regeneration only begins after an ability fully completes.
• To balance this: Some SP costs have been slightly reduced.

Combat Changes

• Players can now chain between light and heavy attacks freely.
• Previously: Light Dash → only Light Attack
• Now: Light Dash → Light or Heavy Attack

• Removed restrictions that prevented chaining near the end of light/heavy attack animations.
• Extended the input window for chaining.
• As a result, dodge chaining now triggers on button release instead of press.
• If an input is received during the valid chaining window, it now triggers immediately, without waiting for the window to end.
  • Previously, only dodge chaining triggered immediately.
• Because chaining is now more responsive and combat speed has increased, damage values have been adjusted for balance.
• You can now change direction during specific frames of light/heavy attacks.
• It is now possible to unequip your current Spirit (weapon).

Progression

• Level-up XP table has been adjusted.
• XP rewards for certain monsters have been updated.
