- A Big Step Forward - 27 November 2025
I've got some big news today...OKUBI IS OFFICIALLY COMING ON KICKSTARTER! After weeks of admin, writing, artwork, polishing, reviews and adjustments, the campaign has been officially approved by Kickstarter — and this is a major milestone for the project. I will soon be launching the campaign to raise the support needed to push Okubi further — bringing in more artists, more developers and long overdue social media manager! All this aimed at establishing a solid studio foundation and staying close to YOU, the community I’m building this game for. I have spent the last 6 years of my life building this game solo and It's now time to take it to the next level. I can truly feel the support from so many of you. Wishlist numbers are climbing fast, playtest requests keep flooding in, and I'm sure that Okubi has a real shot at becoming something amazing. I'm incredibly grateful to all of you who…

- Quick update following the demo launch! - 10 June 2025
Hi everyone! Following the alpha-demo launch of today, I've made a few changes to improve the first-time experience:🐞 There’s an occasional bug where the first tutorial quest doesn’t always start. I’m working on a fix. FYI, quick fix is either a quick relog or press ''Escape'' and hit ''Return to hub'' 🚫 While that’s in progress, I’ve disabled the tutorial — you now start directly in the public hub.🧍 A new NPC has been added in the hub to help you get started instead. He'll teach you:How to queue for matchesBasic controlsKey game featuresLastly, I'm adding a brand new admin tool that'll allow me to assist and guide you guys directly in-game if needed. This should make it easier to jump in and play — (who needs a tutorial anyway...). The update is currently active. ːsteamthumbsupːThanks for testing the game, and more updates are on the way!
