Steam Patch Notes
Official update history
Hello mates, Baron here. The guys are already busy working on the next Byeth release - The Khar-Tib Update. However, that hasn't stopped the team finding and killing the bugs that had popped up in the Sentara Update.
The team have a Sentari bugfix patch for you today. Notable bugs that have been addressed are things like the discombobulate skill not working, or being able to skewer right though enemies with a spear, which was super buggy (the unintended behavior was being caused by the skill that allows arrows to pass right through enemy).
Heads up, if you were experiencing any very strange issues in 1.2.0 that are not mentioned below in the changelog, such as enemy with invisible faces or spell wheels not working, etc, be aware that what you have there is a mod bug! In those cases, you would need to just update your mod to the latest Sentara version, and if the mod issue persists, make a new character.
That's it for now folks. There is always the possibility of another small Sentara patch, but other than that, the guys are deep diving into Khar-Tib.
Bye for now!

Hello mates! Baron here, and the Sentara Update is officially upon us!
Update 1.2 is now live, and it wraps up everything we’ve been previewing over the last couple of news posts into one big Byeth release. This marks the 2nd of 4 free Byeth Updates, with the goal being to canonize some of the extended lore of Blade & Sorcery through additional content and maps.
Of course I say that was the goal, but then as usual the update spiraled into a bunch of unplanned scope creep... ːamadeus_happyː But luckily things didn't get so out of hand that the ThunderRoad framework exploded, so it's all good, lol.
Now, let's get into it!
Welcome to Sentara
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33834682/5e862df3ef0b16a885996c5500553a0b255ff85d.png"]
Sentara is a small maritime nation west of Eraden, known for its sailors, traders, pirates, and general seafaring shenanigans. We tried to incorporate those themes throughout this update, with the weapons, armour, maps, and even how water behaves.
New Sentari Weapons
The staple of every Byeth update: a full batch of new themed weapons.
Sentara is loosely based on the aesthetics of Mediterranean maritime nations, so we took inspirations from pirates, sailors, and privateers.
The full weapon list includes a classic cutlass, stiletto dagger, a boarding axe, a harpoon, a dueling sword, and quite a lengthy sabre.
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33834682/ed97d30aa3d20d63d735eb61180a93109364fdbd.png"]
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33834682/5fe8fee773d6c83eeb13fe7f1e0926ab8598c153.png"]
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33834682/2a7ecf777f2c63ee0e064793d195a046672c5586.png"]
But of course… it wouldn’t be a pirate update without something extra.
Sentari Firearm
We did it boyz; guns in Blade & Sorcery. But... not gunpowder.
Rather than opening the can of worms that comes with real life musket simulation and long, complex reload procedures, we went with a lore-friendly, crystal-based firearm. It works by imbuing a base crystal with an element, then striking crystals together to unleash powerful effects.
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33834682/19aeb32e4e1350535e456e9e1c4310cadb57c324.jpg"]
Different imbues have different unique effects.
A fire imbued firearm can set enemies ablaze and create zones of fire.
I love all the imbues, but this one really rocks because it feels totally gnarly to shoot.
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33834682/24e7a5ab67db4b88b27f457d694d45bab5d166d0.gif"]
A gravity imbued firearm does exactly what you probably expect, and hits enemies like a truck, blasting them and all surrounding objects in the cone of fire away.
If you catch an enemy with enough force, you may also blow off a limb!
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33834682/b888389e8e3df0625a8cd570352d22f341b23608.gif"]
The lightning imbued firearm is the most insane of the three, in that it flat out gibbs enemies on impact, lol. Quad damage time!
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33834682/3e864c21fdcd991ed104ce6ae81aa025cf8ba02f.gif"]
Also, to preemptively answer a question I know folks will have - if you are wondering if the imbue retains when you holster the weapon - yes it does!
You can keep multiple firearms charged and holstered, ready to fire just like real life pirates did.
This is likely the point at which you may be thinking, "But Baron, these look wildly overpowered??"
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33834682/99790f6e9d7d641690f1e424bb6834b172f693e7.gif"]
The rule of cool was very much in effect here, as is often the case with Blade & Sorcery design. The Sentari firearm was designed to be flashy, powerful, but most importantly, fun. Lyneca worked on this firearm, and he and I are very much each others enablers when it comes to circumventing game balance for the sake of cool, lol.
However, jokes aside, I think you will find it is not as overpowered as you might expect. A good balance was struck between having a musket experience that was something between a real life 20 second reload simulator, and a magic boomstick. Feedback received was that the imbue reload on the firearm was just right for Blade & Sorcery gameplay.
Sentari Concoctions
The bottles that some of you guys pointed out from previous news were not health potions; they were a whole big scope creep.
Sentara introduces three new concoctions, designed to be playful, situational, and occasionally chaotic, just like the Sentari themselves.
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33834682/95fe3c2c9614979404a80ac3adfc307042832b44.jpg"]
Feather Draught
Temporarily makes you weightless, letting you “swim” through the air. Just remember, when it ends, gravity comes back.
I guarantee there will be community posts about people falling to their death from this lol.
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33834682/018ca889052f4fb3377de14bfdd3aa9001dd3070.gif"]
Burning Draught
Causes the drinker to belch flames and briefly glow, which can be useful as a byproduct to temporarily illuminate dark areas of the dungeons if you have no torch.
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33834682/e0c20a922d114236e3d8d17f51db9b0ac43031b5.gif"]
Shocking Draught
Triggers a short-term magnetism, pulling nearby metal objects into orbit. This is a very contextual and utilitarian concoction, since you can imagine how useful it would be if you are surrounded my metal-clad opponents wielding metal weapons. YOINK!
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33834682/27e5517089c58a31b17679ea79f5ace6b77f7823.gif"]
For the design of these concoctions we tried to go a direction that was not pure damage tools, since there is already a ton of that in Blade & Sorcery. So the idea here was that they are more utilitarian, and open up creative and emergent gameplay moments.
But we were also aiming for just plain fun.
Sentari Armour Set
Sentara’s faction armour leans more toward mobility and style than raw protection.
The full outfit includes light cloth attire - a shirt, jacket, trousers, boots, hat, and some decorative jewellery. It’s practical for life at sea and has a bit of flair to it.
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33834682/2fe89635bb6b30c859b472b699591a7b20322ce5.png"]
Sentari enemies will wear mix-and-matched variants of this armour, and players can equip the full set as well.
The jewellery pieces are cosmetic only, for those wondering.
New Faction Maps
One the very first Byeth announcement we stated that we were at risk of breaking our game framework (ThunderRoad) if we were not careful about the content we add in these updates. As such, you may remember me saying NO MAPS because maps are one of those risky things.
But it just didn't feel right!
We knew before Rakta release, and we surely knew after, that there was a hole missing there and it left us uneasy to be adding lore elements from different parts of the world yet you don't even get to see what that part of the world looks like.
We felt this omission would be something that would disappoint the players, and that made us feel bad. So here we are in 1.2 and we are releasing faction-specific maps. (plural!)
Sentara Map
Being a maritime nation, you surely guessed the Sentara map would involve some sort of ship!
The enviro team had a lot of fun making and designing this environment.
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33834682/fe8cee5db0a9c360b1d74162f10fb5abc4093051.png"]
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33834682/384bfc166b325344450ca6ef7a236d2ab8f246b9.png"]
A Sentari ship, marooned against a crumbling lighthouse, cracked open to reveal a mysterious crystal.
The lighthouse has some fun effects for you to discover, but I will let you explore it yourself!
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33834682/15fde4e04b4e25b814a35d41ae57d2763e464fe5.png"]
The map is a lot bigger than you probably realize, as it includes the ship deck, a captains quarter, a below deck, and a small island with the lighthouse.
There are fun parkour opportunities as well since there are lots of rigging, sails and things to swing on.
Crazy design detail note: the window frames on the ship are designed to mirror the Sentari flag. Absolutely insane attention to detail by the one and only Kaou from enviro team.
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33834682/8c202b1f48c25b03e5109f020399f1b7558da0d7.jpg"]
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33834682/e30f936cbc41fc6874d7160dfb3a5eb22c42fb8b.png"]
Rakta Map
The Rakta are a highly magical and martial people, with their aesthetic being loosely based on an amalgamation of east-Asian cultures.
This new map is a Raike dojo, located deep in the southern tropics of Rakta, where their fierce warriors train for warfare.
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33834682/a22b76b73cdede63fab6d9ec1ba80de124ff4d1e.png"]
This map was an interesting lore expansion for us. Up to now, the only mention of the Raike are from the perspective of the shopkeeper, who describes their homeland as a snowy and mountainous.
But with this Rakta map we wanted to expand on the idea that the Rakta Empire is quite large and expansive, much like Eraden, so this map is located in the southern reaches of the empire which crosses into a more tropical climate.
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33834682/fea1eed1a9b8f6b62f48b68c10b026164b97ac95.png"]
Both maps are playable in Sandbox, and both can appear in Crystal Hunt as special opportunities to fight for money.
For lore logic, the faction maps lock enemy types - Sentari in Sentara, Raike in Rakta - but Sandbox still lets you mix and match freely, because why not. Sandbox is always a great for "what if" type scenarios in my opinion.
Each future Byeth update will include one faction map, but 1.2 gives you two since the Rakta map is a retroactive bonus.
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33834682/9644db4d9db6743d3e75139972400bff578ed76f.png"]
Before you ask, yes you can ring the gong! This was a critical inclusion, lol.
There are also mounted katana all along the walls of the dojo; great for when you need a weapon quick.
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33834682/e8a7846980e8c5fffaae721182121ba3d5dffd5a.png"]
Mapboard Rework
To support these lovely new locations, the mapboard has been redesigned.
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33834682/ee13afd58ee2941a620d477d161091e30668956d.png"]
The new layout is cleaner, more readable, and introduces tabbed world maps. You can now switch between Eraden, Rakta, Sentara, and future regions via the nice little icon tabs, with the background map updating to match the lore.
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33834682/45721fc0963070ce855819af9f43560aa0fac1e5.gif"]
This system is also modder-friendly!
Space has been reserved so modders can add their own tabs and custom regions if they want. Hypothetically, a modder could add an entirely new region and have all their location icons neatly grouped there.
Survival Mode Rework
A little scope creep that went out of control; introducing the new and improved Survival mode, which has been completely reworked.
In summary, the new system is highly customizable and progression-based. There are tons of goodies you can tweak, but to give an overview, some of the things that are new:
Earn skills as rewards
Unlock armour sets or full themed bundles
Retain and accumulate power across waves in a roguelite fashion. Will you focus on becoming the ultimate glass cannon fire mage, or will you diversify your skillset?
Play a chaotic roulette-style mode where you pick one reward per wave, which resets after every round. One round you may be blasting with a meteor and the next you are reduced to a rusty dagger.
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33834682/3303ff1717720c30774c272100a1e698ab36490b.jpg"]
However as I say, the beauty of this new Survival mode is that it is highly customizable, so you can tailor it however you want and by doing so create new scenarios.
For example, perhaps you would like to unlock only weapons as rewards, disabling skills and magic.
Or perhaps the opposite, maybe you wanna do a mage run only where you accumulate magical power with each incremental reward.
Maybe you want to tweak it so you can or cannot take enemy weapons.
For true freedom, there is even an option to allow you to enter the Survival with sandbox equipped gear and skills, in case you wanted to do a very specific custom build run or even if you just wanted to give yourself a starting boost.
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33834682/21b625dac94712e488d489cd50829373ada23942.png"]
Our main goal in the redesign was to give players who have played Blade & Sorcery to death a new way to experience the game. We also wanted to provide a little structured challenge to those who crave it, yet without telling anyone how they should play or have fun.
Another beauty is that the Survival mode works on all maps, including the new faction maps. And best of all, we made it so it’s very easy for modders to plug their own content into the reward system. That means you could play the Survival mode where you are unlocking modded weapons and spells!
Buoyancy Simulation
Sentara wouldn’t be complete without water behaving properly.
What started as a small "I wonder" project evolved into full buoyancy simulation, based on weight and material, and yes, that includes bodies!
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33834682/a08840c7276eb45f6f9d6245c00253f5f5ee2c76.gif"]
New Music
Two beautiful new tracks have been added to the Byeth faction maps, composed by our very own Glamdok, the same composer behind the original soundtrack.
This will be case for the future Khar-Tib and Madlu maps as well.
You can check out the full game soundtrack in this Blade & Sorcery OST playlist over on YouYube.
Survival Achievement Change
A small QOL change, but worth it's own section because of how annoying this achievement was.
Those of you who achieved the the “Wildfolk Stamina” achievement: I salute you. For everyone else who tried and gave up, you surely experienced how incredibly draining the achievement was, as it required you to last 50 rounds in one sitting.
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33834682/043b650fd9062b0f0ff75337216f644b45ddef9d.png"]
The main gripe here was not even that it was too hard, it was that it was too boring and grindy, which is something we are always looking to avoid. Even if you sat there spamming the "kill all" dev cheat, you are still gonna be sitting there for about 30 minutes.
With the 1.2 change, surviving 50 waves no longer has to be done in a single run. Progress is now cumulative across play sessions, so you can earn it over time without losing everything on wave 49. This makes it much less of a chore.
To those who already broke their backs unlocking the achievement the old way, you get the 0.1% bragging rights!
That’s the Sentara Update, folks!
As always, thank you for playing, modding, and being part of the Blade & Sorcery community. And of course, thanks for all the positivity. It really boosts the team to read all the kind support!
We hope you enjoy exploring Sentara, but for us, we are on to the next Byeth update!
Next stop: Khar-Tib.
Bye for now!

Hello mates, Baron here! The last patch of the year is here, but it is also the last of the Rakta patches. After this, the next update you will see is the Sentara Update, which is shaping up lovely by the way! I should be able to drop a sneak peek of that just before Warpfrog break for Christmas.
But for now, check out what we have in store with patch 1.1.2 - this small update contains a bunch of fixes for Rakta, but the more juicy news is that it actually brings a whole bunch of great QOL improvements to the mod manager.
The most notable change is that overall loading and previewing will be dramatically faster. This is due to a variety of changes we made for how mods display, including dynamic loading of previews, which as well as being faster will also give a boost in performance for weaker machines.
Check out this comparison gif to see how it stacks up to the last update:

Full video of the demonstration here:
[dynamiclink href="https://youtu.be/RW9-p5ebSgg?si=YztEqWJaYb9a6ARH"](thanks Wully for the video!)
If you have a ton of mods, your loading time may still be longer than the video, but nonetheless it will still be dramatically faster than your 1.1.1 loading times.
As well as this, the mod manager has gotten plenty of general improvements in stability and functionality, so overall it should simply play nicer. ːlunar2019piginablanketː

Hello mates, Baron here! Patch 1.1.1 is here and it is a nice one, with some new goodies to compliment the recent release of The Rakta Update.
Rakta Faction in Dungeons
The most notable addition is Rakta enemy can now be encountered in Sandbox mode dungeons. ːpraisesunː
We knew even for 1.1.0 that players would want this and honestly their absence never felt right to us! But the issue we had was it was impossible for us to add a new faction into Crystal Hunt dungeons without rewriting the code for how factions spawn in Dungeons because it is all tied to the progression system.
Doing major code rewrites at this stage would have been way too risky and almost guaranteed to have broken the game... so you can see how this would have been far from a "small content" addition which was our self-imposed requisite when making the Byeth Updates.
It also would have needed to be shoehorned into the lore to provide some explanation as to why Raike soldiers are running around Eraden dungeons unchecked. This would have also meant new writing, journal stuff, icons, QA and dungeon spawners - all stuff that quickly adds up in scope creep.
However, a good compromise we found was to add the Rakta faction into the Sandbox mode dungeons. Since sandbox is just for fun it doesn't really matter if it makes lore sense, and makes it a nice "what if" scenario.
You will find the Rakta faction under "Enemy Factions" on the Sandbox mapboard in both Outpost and Dalgarian dungeons.
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33834682/b29f28daddb325b953ee45b883dbf366f30d52dc.gif"]
The cool things is we will now be able to do the same with the upcoming Sentari, Kharese and Madene enemy when those factions release. ːlunar2019piginablanketː
As another bonus, you can now find the previously missing Outlaw faction in Dalgarian sandbox dungeons.
Rakta Categories
A nice QOL improvement - Rakta weapons and armour appear in their own custom categories.
A surprising number of people messaged me after the update to say they didn't get the new content in 1.1.0, but the explanation was that they just didn't realize the new weapons were buried in the normal categories.
To make it more neat and tidy and to give a distinction to the special new Raike content, you can now find all the new weapons in their own unique Rakta category with the Raike flag icon.
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33834682/e790bc1ebc03abcd46ad281697ed040a199ba029.png"]
Rakta armour is also in its own special category, under Apparel. This should make it much easier to see all the components of the armour set.
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33834682/d744021b492658374acb4652845e4bdcbc11fe4e.png"]
More Rakta Waves
In Sandbox mode you can now find Rakta waves under their own special categories.
As well as that, we added more variants of Rakta waves, such as "melee only", etc.
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33834682/b27c47946944abef5bc0c5f14ad74b51706d0e9a.png"]
To go with these new waves, there are now more Raike loadouts too. Sorcerers will have the Raike dual-crystal staff, and archers will use the T3 bow and arrow.
There are also dangerous Raike spellswords, who will fight with magic and katanas.
Raike Hip-Draw
If you are a lore enthusiast you might recall the shopkeeper mentioning the Raike have a strange way of drawing arrows from their hip. It was originally just a little lore flavour line for fun, but now it is a reality!
New animations were added for Raike archers so they can draw arrows from a hip quiver.
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33834682/5c015b80c6a042a76650d0d422c498031f08ccec.gif"]
Bugfixes
There are a variety of bugfixes added in this patch which you can read in the changelog below, but the most notable fixes which deserve a shout out are the Rakta chest plate which was not blocking stabs, and the dual-staff which was not firing each end independently.
Both of these issues have been addressed!
That's it for now folks. The guys are already deep into the development of Update 1.3: The Sentara Update, which is expected to be ready sometime early next year, possibly around February.
When I have some nice previews of that I will be sharing them in the news. In the meantime, enjoy the Rakta Update!

Hello mates! The Baron here, with news from the Warpfrog front that The Rakta Update is now available!
This is update 1 of 4 in the free series of "Byeth Updates" Warpfrog is planning, from now until the end of 2026.
If you want to read more about The Byeth Updates, what they are and what we have planned, Warpfrog did a Q&A here.
The Rakta Update focuses on the nation of Rakta, adding Raike themed content into the game, officially expanding the canon of the Blade & Sorcery universe.
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33834682/ff259a4e834f591420ffe62ef768073940bf60a2.png"]
Now, let's dive into what is new in the update! ːpraisesunː
New Raike Weapons
The Rakta Update brings 8 new canon Raike weapons into the base game. Thematically they are inspired by an amalgamation of East Asian real life counterparts.
Check out these renders of the new content:
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33834682/5fcaa6a63109dd94efe8db1aacefa506111d8789.png"]
These exotic weapons can be purchased at The Baron's Bounty in Crystal Hunt, or accessed freely in Sandbox mode.
It might have taken 7 years, but we did it guys - the katana is a canon part of Blade & Sorcery. ːsteamlaughcryː
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33834682/c761e8c2e7073510cfaf9c0f7b068cf523356dad.png"]
Physics bases shuriken
Among the new weaponry are physics-based shuriken (including a shuriken pouch).
These shuriken will actually spin when thrown, with a little under-the-hood assistance to help ensure the blade actually sticks into the target. (annoying when you throw a weapon and it just bounces off an enemy ːsteamfacepalmː )
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33834682/74391ed99c9868a39f17b622a54de75aa4a48302.gif"]
Dual Spell Staff
My personal favourite addition to the update: the Raike Dual Crystal Staff.
[img src="https://media3.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExcGw1dmlsbGI0Ynd5a29iZTg4c3NwemllcjJ3bGZhdXFrNXJpeHN2dCZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaWQmY3Q9Zw/YTEQMGDkDjHkV4vYWV/giphy.gif"]
Being a highly magical warrior nation, the Raike have developed a combat staff that allows for a dual imbue; one element on each end.
This allows for some really cool and creative combinations! For example, you to have one end blasting a flamethrower spell while the other end is lashing a lightning whip.
Or, double up on the element and unleash hell!
[img src="https://media4.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExMTA3eG9meDhrejdjYWN4M2Fxdm02d3EyYmo0ZDFjbndodDJpM3RwaSZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaWQmY3Q9Zw/VOPpEnCab0o412YOuj/giphy.gif"]
New Raike Armour
Available in Crystal Hunt to purchase in the Baron's Bounty, or freely available in Sandbox mode, for the first time ever, a non-Eraden armour is available to wear.
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33834682/21cfff29594443b802e2bdf33055dae1aa7bac95.png"]
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33834682/1287f6e6907dcba0dd60369472d4778e51a55599.png"]
The armour reflects the warrior culture of the Raike, reflecting exquisite craftsmanship, functionality, and aesthetic.
You can find the new armour under the plate section of the armour spawner.
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33834682/a8c7055242afc5404cdb23b550f4e7af4317f954.png"]
Special Rakta Wave
Fight in Sandbox mode against Raike warriors, equipped with their Rakta attire and weapons.
Currently we have it limited to 1v1 duels, but expanding this is a real possibility in the future, if not in minor patches then possible as a bonus in the future Byeth Updates.
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33834682/903656a6e709ed8493ee28f0a31223373dcd8622.png"]
You can find this special 1v1 wave in under the category Special > Rakta Elite Duel.
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33834682/6039122925621f911edb03154a8e59e5605ef7d9.png"]
Achievements
The Rakta Update brings 37 achievements to find and unlock.
A couple of the achievements are listed and you can see what is necessary to unlock them. These are the really obvious type achievements, like complete X in the game, or collect Y items.
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33834682/8d37736b961b6be5b097c02e69b1491de8a25cdb.png"]
However, we really, really wanted to avoid these grindy type achievements, because our vibe is that those kind of achievements always feel like they are just there to waste your time and keep you grinding hours.
So in the case that we have visible achievements, we tried to make them more landmark accomplishments (mostly relating to the end game) but mainly we opted to make most of the achievements hidden. The idea here was we wanted to make them more easter eggy, and something fun for the player to try and find in game themselves through discovery. Typically they relate to an in game secret, or are a reference to some community in-joke, so the objective is to explore the game, and see what you discover.
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33834682/c68f4e8406818d057cdf3411227abdda76e82a34.png"]
You can of course spoil the unlock conditions by simply revealing them on Steam, so no worries if you are a straight-up completionist type person and don't want to actually discover them for yourself.
What about Unity 6 and OpenXR?
I mentioned in an earlier preview about the Rakta Update being the time when we would update the game to Unity 6 and OpenXR - this is a purely technical decision which will help Warpfrog handle the snowballing maintenance of Blade & Sorcery across so many headsets, but players would not actually notice any difference at all.
However, the move to Unity 6 is a big one because it risks breaking all sorts of mystery things in the game, and indeed when we began the migration, we start to notice all sorts of stuff was breaking, from dungeons to VFX.
Because of the bug risks involved, we would need to do a really massive QA pass over the whole game, and given that we didn't want to delay the update release, we decided to hold off on the Unity 6 / OpenXR switch for now and we will tackle it in the coming months instead.
As said, the delay on this migration will be completely indifferent for players, except for one thing - full body tracking. OpenXR was likely to improve FBT, so this is one thing players will benefit from when the migration happens.
Modwatch: will this update break mods?
The short answer: no!
Of course you can't guarantee anything 100%, but the main concern was that Unity 6 threatened to break map mods and scripting mods. However, since we are not moving to Unity 6 right now, this is not an issue.
This update has no major code changes and we are being deliberately careful so as not to break mods if it can be helped.
That's it for now, folks! Coming down the line is likely to be some small bugfix patches, and a patch that switches the game to Unity 6 and OpenXR. Other than that, it is on to the next Byeth Update - The Sentara Update!
Cheers!

Changelog - 1.0.7.682
- Fixed bug with Mod Manager not remembering if the user accepted the terms of agreement when it reauthenticates with mod.io
The guys also knocked out a couple of other small annoying things, like an issue with the water in certain rooms being non-swimmable.
Changelog below!
Change log 1.0.7.677
Fixes:

- Fixed Underwater1 dungeon room black thin wall being visible
- Fixed a issue with the sky sometimes blurring on android in the main menu

- Added option to prevent crystal merging in ItemModuleCrystal
Besides a bunch of bugfixes, we have a surprising QOL feature addition in this update - a height offset.
If you are really tall or really short, you probably knew all about how annoying that could, and this was an accessibility feature we always wanted to have but encountered issues with implementation due to the full body avatar. However Wully found an unexpected and nice way around it, so now you can offset your character height vs your real height. This also means you could play the game sitting down if you wanted. ːtmntleoː
This update took freaking ages to roll out, guys... After 5 years of development our game framework ThunderRoad has become really difficult and inefficient to work on due to regressions. The good news however is that KospY has been developing ThunderRoad 2. All those nagging issues we had from TR1 are no more on TR2, so this allows us to work much faster and more efficiently on our next game. ːpraisesunː

The value of the gold bag in the dungeon treasure room chest is now reduced, but in contrast the value of the actual loot you find is increased, and more of it is added to the end of dungeon chest. That means a player who just races through the dungeon and doesn't bother searching for any extra loot will come out of the dungeon with around the same gold value as 1.0.5. But any player who actually searches for additional loot will now walk away from the shop with more gold. The idea here was to reward the players who search for hidden loot by offering a much more juicy incentive to do so.
This will hopefully make the shop experience a little nicer so that you don't have to take out a second mortgage just to buy that rusty dagger anymore. This was the first attempt at rebalancing by the game design team and hopefully it will be good right out of the gate, but the guys are going to monitor how players feel about these values and then determine if further tweaks are necessary.
