- Artifact – 0.79.99.13 Test Release & Changelog - 8 May 2026
Hello, everyone! The latest overhaul image preview has been updated again for patrons.Aside from further bug testing, the overhaul is essentially just waiting for the last few bits of art. "Few bits" being a couple of background images, some UI assets, and a handful of new sex scene images. The background images can probably be knocked out before long, but the sex scene images could easily take a few more months. I know some of you must be tired of these micro updates to the current release. However, I also know many of you have voiced your preference to have these things finished before release, so I'm considering doing a closed testing of the overhaul before it goes public.There are character voices on the way as well, which goes a long way into breathing life into these character interactions. I'm very excited to be able to have at least some screenshots or clips to show off in the n…

Hello again! A very minor update this week for most of you, but for a subsection of players, I have now released a Linux test branch for Steam. I'm very interested in any feedback on the functionality of the Linux test branches.Behind the scenes I'm still adding polish to the overhaul as well as adding support for another resolution. When it goes live, it is expected to support both 1920x1080 and 1280x720 in a way that scales so much better than before.That's all for now, onto the changelog.Artifact 0.79.99.07 Test Release & Changelog*Updated credits

- Artifact – 0.79.99.04 Test Release - 13 February 2026
Hello! This week is another minor update that smooths out the current endcap on the game, as well as another update for the overhaul changelog exclusively on Patreon. A lot of headway was made this week in terms of having the overhaul functioning almost completely normally aside from the lack of finished quests. Test playing the overhaul back-to-back with the current test release is like night and day, the new version is so much cleaner and flows together so much better. I can't wait to show it off in due time! As for now, on to the changelog.Changelog*Revised the current ending of the game to congratulate players for getting that far, with the option to quit the game or continue playing in the sandbox*Updated credits

- Artifact – 0.79.99.02 Test Release & Changelog - 29 January 2026
Finally! The issues regarding Steam updates has been resolved, plus some other changes.I have also recently updated the overhaul changelog pinned on my Patreon. I have done a lot of play-testing lately and it feels almost night and day regarding how much better it plays, and how much smoother it flows. There is still more to be done, particularly regarding balance, but it is exciting to see it coming together! Anyway, on to the current test release changelog.Changelog *Added a subtle “breathing effect” to the screen *Added some effects to how the text “Vhl'Attar” is displayed depending on player's progress and choices *Updated credits
- Artifact – 0.79.99 Test Release - 31 October 2025
Hello again! Just a small update to top off the Halloween season and update the credits for some generous new patrons.The overhaul changelog has also been updated with the most recent changes. I'm torn between whether or not to add some new screenshots, as many things are still subject to change, notably in the UI aspect. There are still some bits of quests and functionality left to add, but we're already testing and making more changes as we go.In regards to sex scenes, we reached a point where we thought we were finished, but in testing there seem to be many more options that players will want to add. There are still currently about double the amount of sex scene options that there were previously, so we are considering not letting this delay the overhaul release any further— especially now that there is so little left to change/improve in the base game that's worth taking time away f…
