I've added a carpenter and a blacksmith to the villages that will give you a quest to craft a custom item and as a reward you will get XP of that skill!
- Basic quest system - 23 May 2025
Talk to the bartender at the pub in the middle of the villages to be given a quest to complete a nearby dungeon for some coin!
- New villages and pub - 14 February 2025
I have updated the villages to be larger and at the center of time is a pub that will heal you! This change is inspired by my late nights stumbling around Boston. When the weather is cold and the sky is dark, there's nothing quite like a warm pub and a cold dark beer that will increase my HP. More changes to come. Sorry I haven't been working on the game as much these days. I have a full time job that takes up a lot of time. But I still find some time for Skullborn everyone now and then. Happy Valentines Day
- New progression systems!! - 1 December 2024
New progression systems I've overhauled the progression system and replaced it with two new systems The skill system These are the new skills: Combat Crafting Gathering Melee Blacksmith Mining Archery Carpentry Woodchopping Guns You gain xp for the skill as you use it and when you level up you will unlock more things to craft, weapons to equip, and resource nodes to gather! Core Unlocks These unlock the ability to wear and craft better armor, increase your total HP, and more! When you complete new dungeons you are awarded with Elder Seeds. You use them to unlock Core Unlocks! Crafting Station Upgrades and Crafting Challenges Now you must complete a quick challenge to craft new items. Crafting Stations can be upgraded. When you upgrade the crafting station you can craft better items but the crafting challenge will get trickier to complete!

- Morph Blocks and Bags (more inventory space!) - 25 June 2024
All block shapes can now be unlocked from the core unlocks menu. Including a new one: morph blocks! These "blocks" work differently than the others. They morph together with adjascent morph blocks. And I think they end result looks pretty cool! I am excited to see the creations yall will make with these! I added another type of core unlock: Bag Slots. Unlock these to gain slots that you can equip bags to. Bags can be purchased from the goblins in the villages. And they increase the size of your inventory! This has been a long requested feature so I hope you enjoy 🙂
- New Weapon: BOW + Crafting: MIRROR MODE - 5 October 2023
New Weapon: BOW 🏹 This new unlockable weapon shoots arrows and is made of wood blocks, like the slingshot but can do much more damage, especially when crafted with strong wood blocks like Yew and Elm! Crafting Mirror Mode🪞 When you want to craft something symmetrical enable the crafting mirror to automatically make added blocks reflect across the "mirror". This will make your life much easier when crafting symmetrical items. It's unlocked with the bow and enabled automatically when crafting the bow but for other items press V to enable it. Please give me feedback about this feature if you have any!

- Price Drop and Early Adopter Custom Blocks - 14 July 2023
Hello Skellies! I wanted to make the world of Skullborn more accessible to more players so I have decided to drop the price of the game. As a thank you to all of the early adopters of the game, anyone who purchased the game before today will be able to create their own custom block. You can name it whatever you want and give it whatever texture you want. You will be given an unlimited supply of this block and eventually I may make these blocks discoverable by other players or by trade. Here's how to create your block: First, to prepare do these things: Make the texture for your block. It must be 16x16 pixels and must be SFW! Pick a name! It must be less than 20 characters and also SFW! Also must be in our Discord to send the image! Also make sure you have access to the #in-game-chat channel If you don't see it then go to Browse Channels and make sure it's checked there. Then: Go in game…

These blocks will kill the player instantly when they fall on them. Added dungeon checkpoints. If the player reaches a checkpoint and then dies, they will respawn at the checkpoint. When testing dungeon in the dungeon builder you can take damage, die, and respawn. Added "place tester position" button. This will allow you to specify where you want to spawn when testing the dungeon so you don't have to constantly repeat parts of the dungeon that you don't want to.
