Since our last update, you've been incredibly vocal about run pacing, build agency, and those pesky stutters. You've spoken, we’ve listened, and our team has been deep in the forge working on a massive overhaul.Rebalance the BalancingA big ask from the community has been for more control over how a build comes together, alongside a smoother difficulty curve. We noticed that the start of your Expeditions could sometimes feel way too OP, while the endgame scaling occasionally missed the mark.To fix this, we’re moving away rarities from bonus levels and shifting to a multiplier-based system one.…

- Break the Path | Balancing, QoL & Stability Patch 0.9.3 - 28 April 2026
Hey Leapers!Thanks for all the feedback and support since last week’s update. (And a quick shout-out to those leaving personal messages in the in-game reports—yes, we definitely see those!)

Here is what’s changing in 0.9.3: Lost Archipelago & World BalanceThe layout of the Lost Archipelago wasn't quite where we wanted it to be. We’ve rewritten the generation algorithm: - The Centerpiece: Islands now generate around the Broken Town Hall. This should make it feel more like… home?! - Global Balancing: We’ve tuned the placement and balancing of encounters across all biomes, not just the Archipelago, to make the overall difficulty and loot curve feel more consistent. Community FixesWe saw these requested a lot, so we’ve pulled th…

- Windblown | 'Labour of Love' Steam Awards Nomination - 24 November 2025
Hey all! It's that time of year again, where the Steam Awards roll into town! Last year we put ourselves forward for the "Best Game You Suck At" award, and we were honoured to see so many people get involved and agree! Because Windblown has been available for a little while now, we're mixing things up and think "Labour of Love" this year would be super fitting. As you may know, we recently celebrated our 12 months Early Access anniversary, and we brought the biggest updates together in an awesome new trailer. Not to mention a whole bunch of smaller updates that completely changed how you play! We've loved making Windblown, but what's made it truly special has been working on it with all of you. Every update was shaped by the community, with inspirations in new content coming directly from players feedback. It's been a rollercoaster year, but we're just getting started! Cheers! -MT
