| Major Update! Overhauled Intro, Tutorial and Ending! | 2025-05-14 | The intro, tutorial and ending to The Axis Unseen has received a major overhaul. The short version is that the intro tutorial is longer and has monsters. The previous intro tutorial that was set to music is now no longer at the beginning and occurs at the end of the game, depending on how the player played the game. This should make it much easier for new players to ease into the game. I hope you all like the update! Here are the full details of the update: -New intro text when starting the game -Moved tutorials further up on the screen so they are harder to miss -Added a new section at the start of the tutorial about crouching and created a |

| Version 1.091 - Released on January 15 2025 | 2025-01-15 | A small patch has been released for The Axis Unseen: Fixed the blocks in The Lodge on the table that reflect how many of the map sections. These were not hiding when you unlocked a Map Altar. Now if you unlock one, you can tell how many are left to find in the region. Reduced the number of save backups from 100 to 20. This way it takes up less space. Reduced the stealth damage multiplier on Metal arrows. It was 4x, now it’s 2x. It was overpowered and could one shot large creatures even in the final region. Made enchanting arrows with magic cost 2 magic instead of 1. It was too easy to enchant every arrow and get that magic right back and neve |
| Version 1.09 - Released on January 3 2024 | 2025-01-03 | Made sure Screechers/other creatures with addon actors don't check against themselves when seeing if they are stuck in something. This was causing them to float up into the air. Adjusted the shooting tutorial part in the intro, moved the arrow retrieve section to a new spot so it isn't always teleporting you around in the same area. This was confusing to some players. Fixed "Screench" in Alicantu journal misspelling. Fixed "Rapidly" in the last sentence metal arrow journal being mispelled. Don't unhide the tip icons in the main menu, the player only needs to see this one ingame. Fixed the map excavation tip never going away. Woman breathing s |

| New Patch! Map Excavation, AI Director, Overhauled Gravity and more! | 2024-11-22 | The latest patch for The Axis Unseen is out now. This is the biggest patch yet and addresses most of the issues people have brought up with the game! Here's the biggest changes/additions: -New map system - There is now a way to keep track of where you have been in the world and a map that you can examine in the safe area. Areas are unlocked by finding a new type of altar out in the world that also acts as a permanent spot that you can get a free spirit arrow view from. There are new markers on the tables for each region to show how many of these exist in each region. -Overhauled gravity - Things are now less "floaty" and small creatures don't |
| Latest Patch Out Now - New Immersive Main Menu! | 2024-11-11 | The latest patch for The Axis Unseen is out now. This features lots of bug fixes and polish, but most importantly, the entire main menu has been overhauled. Instead of being a series of menus, the majority of it (besides options, etc.) is now a playable space you can explore. This lets players practice freely with no outside threat, resume old games, start new ones and pick your difficulty, all while moving around as the player. This also makes the game more flexible for future updates, so new difficulties or game modes can be added without the menu getting even larger than it already was. :) Here are the major changes: -Added a new immersive |
| Version 1.051 - Released on November 4 2024 - 10 changes | 2024-11-04 | -Changed the default magic type so that people loading an old save before equipped Magic Type was stored default to the Earth Power, which is the first one that is unlocked. -Increased the Boar attack cooldown to prevent multiple hits and also reduced their vision to 60% of the previous value. -Made sure that Rock Slam could hurt creatures when you land directly on top of them. Adjusted some arrow logic to make sure this doesn’t break anything since it now blocks some additional traces. -Made sure that Screechers were not rotating in place. This was a side effect of some logic to get creatures who were stuck out of where they were. -Made sure |
| Version 1.05 - Released on November 1 2024 - 38 changes | 2024-11-01 | The latest patch is out now. You can read the notes here or below: https://www.justpurkeygames.com/patchnotes Here's some of the biggest changes: -Fixed some cases where your Death Energy would fall through the world or get lost when you loaded up a save. -Fixed volume sliders/a few other things resetting the first time you used the options menu. -Birds now disperse if you loot the energy beneath them -Magic power towers have the glowing particles above them shut off after you have collected the magic power. Confirmed that all other items shut off their particles as well. -Creatures now move towards you while you are in the air. -Added a way |
