A Few Words, Straight from the Heart

Dear friends, Daoist friends,

In the blink of an eye, The Lost Village has been with you for more than two years. Not too long, not too short—but every step along the way carries your presence.

After that came the Bloody Land, World Bosses, Sect Descendants… And our collaborations with Immortal Life, Next Stop Jianghu, House of Legacy, and Ascension, widening the boundaries of the world even further.

Looking back, every line of update notes feels like a shared cultivation diary we wrote together. There were times of waiting, times of doubt—but you never let go of The Lost Village. And we, have never forgotten — each and every one of you.

The Road Ahead, Never Forgotten

Many players have been asking: “What about the things you promised us before? Why haven’t they shown up yet?” The truth is—we haven’t abandoned the game. We’re sorry it’s taken this long. There were technical hurdles, but also because we’ve been experimenting with new ideas we want to bring into The Lost Village.

For example:

• We want disciples to be smarter.

• We want more interactive details in the world.

• We want dynamic weather, four seasons, day and night…

Our plan is to first test these systems in our new project, Eastern Era. Once they’re stable, we’ll bring them back to The Lost Village —bug-free. This includes things you’ve long asked for: new character portraits, new illustrations, Workshop support, and more.

In the meantime, here are some issues we’ll be fixing soon:

BUG FIXES

1. Fixed UI texture error for the ability: Shield IV

2. Fixed incorrect toolbar description for Condense Elixir I recipe

3. Fixed clipping issue with the skill Spirit Sword Technique in combat

4. Fixed issue where skill “ SwordDown ” did not take effect in Sect Wars

5. Fixed typo in tooltip for Royal Court cultivation method

6. …and more

NEW ADDITIONS & OPTIMIZATIONS

1. Increased the number of Qi Elixir given at the start

2. Added the ability to increase slots for Bosomfriend and Partner

3. Increased total number of task quests to 175

4. Improved beginner tutorials

5. Strengthened cultivation methods for some schools

Through Thorns, We March On

Our team is currently sprinting with all our strength on Eastern Era. Beyond just creating a fun game, we also hope to bring some of the best designs and ideas from this new project back into The Lost Village. For us, this is both a new challenge and a tougher journey.

We remain devoted to the simulation & management genre, and we want to keep pushing boundaries in this direction:

• Smarter and more dynamic AI systems

• A wealth of random events

• Real-time weather, with shifting seasons, day and night, sun and storm

• Expansive world exploration, where every rock, tree, and beast is interactive

• Building a truly living, breathing martial world

• …and much more

In the future, we hope these systems—and fresh new content—will also find their way into The Lost Village! Please look forward to it.

From starting a sect from nothing, to clashing and vying for dominance in the martial world, we want to create for you not only an engaging world and intriguing sects, but also a xianxia journey filled with both triumph and sorrow—one that truly feels alive.

In just two months, on October 13th, we’ll be joining the Steam Next Fest, where a playable demo of Eastern Era will be available. We sincerely hope you’ll give it a try, and feel the passion we’ve poured into this new work.

Through wind and rain—on October 13th, we’ll be waiting for you at Next Fest.
