Dev Log July 2026

Hello everyone, I have to apologize for several things. The first: Sorry for being a bit late with this month's Dev Log. I wanted the remaining work on this release done before writing this update.

changedThe third: No preview images for this Dev Log because... well, you'll see those renders pretty soon anyway.
changedI uploaded the first Beta version to my internal test branches yesterday, and we're testing (and fixing errors made by the stupid dev) since then. As I said in earlier Dev Logs, I was thinking about how to approach the release for Chapter 8, and I did go with the separate releases. This means the next release will only contain the part that is NOT Álfheimr. To give you an idea, it's still longer than each of the Chapters 1 to 4 and just a little shorter than Chapter 5.

The first: Sorry for being a bit late with this month's Dev Log. I wanted the remaining work on this release done before writing this update.

The second: No Chinese translation for this Dev Log. My translator is pretty busy, and I don't want to bother him with the Dev Log and would rather have him working on the game translation ASAP.

I'm not entirely happy with that approach, but I think it's the right one for me and the better choice for the game overall. That way, I can focus on the Álfheimr part without feeling bad for not releasing something for such a long time. And those of you who are ot interested in Elves don't have to wait all that time to get stuff that's basically finished.

I have no ETA for the release yet, since I have to wait for the proofreading on the French version and the translation of the Chinese versions. I hope to be able to release it in July but it might take a little longer, depending on the workload of my translator. Rest assured, that I'll release what I have as soon as it's ready. I won't wait for a specific day or release date.

Have a nice weekend, guys. Cheers, Ceo
