- Let's swim up. - 26 November 2023
Sadly, we have lost one of our members in April. After a long sickness and many complications, when it looked like it's going to be alright. It was not. In a bad turn of events, the issues started when we first released and been hampering us. Although we stood fast and tried to help as much as we could, it was not enough. RIP. The quick patches and upgrades we have planed turned into a huge one over the year and while it was basically ready in march, we were unable to go forward with anything at the time. The delay may be for the better as we are now ready to deliver much more content all at once. We absorbed all the feedback from you guys and considered all of it, many ideas have been integrated. Many QOL improvements are coming along the new features. The game is much deeper on many fronts now, while being more accessible at the same time. A Wiki has been made and the main page will l…

- Another round of small changes for Ark of Loif - 14 October 2022
Another round of small changes for Ark of Loif The way how you die is changed, now you lose only money. If you pick up your cross, you get some back. This way, new players should not struggle so much. You could go in your base and collect the items there, but this concept was too unusual for many players. It makes it a bit easier. The respawn buttons are also renamed now. We've seen some people getting stuck behind the train in the base (who knows why, there are stairs and also why do you like it there so much?) So we added a plank to walk on. Game on!

- Why we have been silent? - 7 October 2022
Hello there! One of us has been going through disease, nearly fatal. The whole year has been a rollercoaster and we are lucky to be where we are. We have been inactive on the internet and social media during that time. We are sorry for the inactivity but we are back! And how better to start than with the release of something big! We are going to release something special, and something long due. Working on this patch has been extremely hard due to the circumstances. The whole situation affected all of us, sticking to the timeline was impossible, but the time has finally come. Things are hopefully going to be changing for the better from now on. We are glad to be back.
