- Dawn of Corruption 1.0 Is Out Now! - 30 May 2026
Dawn of Corruption 1.0 Is Out Now!Hey everyone!I can't even remember how long it's been. Five or six years? Something like that.After countless hours of development, iteration, and pushing things further than I ever thought possible, the full 1.0 release of the game is finally here.When I started this project, I thought it would just be a fun Twine experiment for my writing—a small, cool game inspired by the kinds of projects that got me interested in making games in the first place.One thing led to another, and now we're here.This game ended up shaping my life and career in ways I never expected. It gave me the opportunity to become a fully independent developer. Without it, I wouldn't have met my husband, many of my closest friends, or learned skills like 3D modeling and animation.I don't quite have the words to express how much this project has influenced who I am today.Thank you to…

Hey everyone! The features I had planned for the Lost Naga became more ambitious than I expected, so it became the main focus of the version.

Hey everyone! Finally got this new version done, sorry again for the delays! This was another busy month for me, but I'm happy to keep pushing DoC a bit further every time.

- Dawn of Corruption [0.11.4] Release Notes! - 6 July 2025
Hey everyone! Insanely busy month for me, but we got there in the end. This is the first month where I let patrons vote and drive what I work on, and I really enjoyed the experience! With how far development has gotten, it's great to see what really interests the community, and what features need more love. I was pretty surprised with the results! So this month, the focus was on adding the option for the player to Corrupt the Golden Bastion after they get exiled. I'm really happy with the writing for what I ended up with, turns out I might have a corruption kink guys :P Thanks again for the support, let's see what we can improve for next month!

- Dawn of Corruption [0.11.3] Release Notes! - 9 June 2025
Hey everyone! Big case of "small patch notes for a lot of content" this time! I've been writing a lot, and got some much appreciated help by Rain for the "Pass time" section
- Dawn of Corruption [0.11.2] Release Notes! - 13 May 2025
Hey everyone! Got a pretty big version for you guys this time, a nice mix of new stuff and polish 💜 . Someone on the Patreon discord suggested having Cray appear outside the village after he leaves, but before he's fully immersed in Apothus's realm. I really liked the idea! So you can now encounter him in the Barrens, before he's truly lost. It also features new art to introduce The Might's encounter. Shards are powerful artifacts, and since he is much stronger than The Bind, I wanted his intro to feel a lot more overwhelming. And finally, I've been doing a lot of polish for some UI and designs. The stars rework should make things a lot clearer and offer a new potential challenge for seasoned players
- Dawn of Corruption [0.11.1] Release Notes! - 4 April 2025
Hey everyone! Now that we're in beta, it's time to fix all the somewhat incomplete story arcs. A lot of characters were changed and tweaked over the years, so I'll be going back and giving them the love they deserve.

Hey everyone! This version is a pretty special one, as it marks the point where every encounters and story beats I planned for are finally in the game. So this officially makes it our first beta version! It's been a long road, not gonna lie. Can't say that it hasn't been without it's hurdles too, but I'm still really determined to push this game to the end. Cheers and thanks for your support, I'll never take it for granted
- Dawn of Corruption [0.10.5] Release Notes! - 7 February 2025
Hey everyone~ As we wrap up another year of development, I want to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude to all of you. We should be hitting beta in the next few releases, then 1.0 a few months after, and it's all been possible thanks to your support. This game has been a life-changing journey for me. It enabled me to develop my own creative vision and skillsets in ways that years in the AAA game industry never could. So thanks again
- Dawn of Corruption [0.10.4] Release Notes! - 2 January 2025
Hey everyone~ Got a new encounter for you guys! A spirit of battle has invaded the Barrens, only seasoned warriors can face him~ If you've fought The Bind before, this new guy should feel familiar. I hope you like him! With that, there's only the slime encounter rework left before got everyone planned for beta. Gonna keep working hard until it's as good as it can be.
- Dawn of Corruption [0.10.3] Release Notes! - 3 December 2024
Hey everyone~ Got a pretty big version this time! With a new encounter with Drenth in the Barrens after he escapes the manor. I hope you enjoy it, I know it's been requested for a long time.

The Chinese translation is still a work in progress, so the game will default to English if a page has not been translated yet. Thanks for the support everyone, and enjoy the new version! Release Notes 0.10.3 Features: Drenth will now escape Apothus's manor after you unlock the seal to Nyx's realm.
