| Update Notes for Sep 4, 2025 | 2025-09-04 | Fixed a crash that could happen often while playing adventure mode Added "Texture Quality" graphics option. Low RAM devices will automatically default to low or medium texture quality. Fixed some issues and crashes in the tortoise equipment screen Fixed some graphical issues with shadow map settings low and medium Other crash fixes |
| Aug 6, 2025 - Hotfixes for the ui bugs, workaround for the terrain bug | 2025-08-06 | Fixed an issue where parts of the ui would get cut off or hidden when anti-aliasing was enabled and resolution was anything other than the max setting Fixed an issue where textures would load totally wrong when running in windowed mode NOTE: the terrain still has a visual graphical glitch if you have shadows set to "off" or "low". To bypass the bug, change shadow setting to "medium" or above. |
| Achievements, quality-of-life updates, improved graphics options, and more! | 2025-08-05 | Added steam achievements Major randomization rework and improvementsTLDR - improved randomization mechanics, making random abilities occur much more reliably. Previously, the game used a "true randomization" system - this created some annoying situations where what you would see over time did not always line up with the perceived chances - while technically "correct" - and thats the nature of statistics, it could be frustrating. We added various "pity mechanics" to make sure for example a 10% chance is much more reliable - you will get (at least) a 1 in 10 draw of that thing, no matter what. Various other improvements generally make it so wha |

| May 28, 2024, v10014 | 2024-05-28 | May 28, 2024, v10014 New War Supplies modifier: added an additional modifier to war supplies, based on the total number of war supplies equipped across all units and war tortoise; ie, the more war supplies you have equipped globally, the stronger the next war supply will be. This is a soft push to spread your war supplies around as many units/tortoise as you can, and will now give a significant boost to not horde war supplies on just your tortoise, or only a few units. This also adds an interesting wrinkle in the order you want to upgrade your units Players can now refresh daily fish/adventure/missions after an amount of time Fixed an issue w |
