- Hotfix 1.0.5 - 17 August 2026
Fixes the issue with re-spawning after Saidulu fight. Improves the hit tracing for all the enemies.
- Patch Notes (v 1.0.4) Launch Update - 15 August 2026
Combat Enemy damage is now more consistent. Most hits deal half a heart, Saidulu’s headbutt deals one full heart, and the heaviest attacks, such as a Hammer Brute swing or a clean shotgun blast, deal one and a half hearts. Dogs, Satish, and Ranga Sami now deal significantly less damage than before. Ranga Saami now telegraphs his double shot from the ledge. The slingshot no longer gets stuck when tapped. A longer draw now properly results in a stronger shot.Feel Dash movement is smoother, travels a consistent distance, and can now be used while standing still. Reduced dash haptic feedback. Quality of LifeRetrying a fight after dying now skips dialogue you've already seen. Leaving the area or restarting the game will play the dialogue in full again. Dying to the Hammer Brute now re-spawns you nearby instead of across the region. Added an on-screen tutorial for the Saidulu fight. Mastan Bh…

- Devlog: Glamour and Risk of Game Dev - 5 January 2026
Flashback to when I drained my savings to take Palm Sugar to the Tokyo Game Show This devlog goes over the glitz and risks of running an indie studio. Crazy how much things have changed since the days I recorded this devlog. One of the things I was most excited about, signing with a publisher, came true! Shout out 1312 Interactive.

- Devlog: Mastering Iteration - 29 December 2025
Hey everybody! Watch the devlog here: Time for another flash to the past. In this devlog, we take a step back and talk about something that shapes every part of Palm Sugar: iteration 🌴Whether it’s code, UI, animation, or environment art, very little in game development works perfectly the first time. We walk through how revisiting old systems, sometimes months later, helped us refine mechanics, clean up code, improve readability, and find a better balance between adding new features and polishing what already exists. This devlog isn’t just about Palm Sugar. It’s about the creative process itself. The slow, sometimes frustrating, often invisible work of returning to an idea and making it clearer, stronger, and more intentional.If you’re interested in game development, art, or any creative practice built through revision, we hope this offers something useful. Thanks for being here! Team…

A trainstation in India is a very unique place, hope you enjoy taking it all in! Join our official discord here: 1312 Interactive Discord Chat with us/ other players! We'll regularly be releasing updates and snippets from the game here. Thanks for being here. Team MonoTusk
- Devlog: What am I trying to do with my game ? - 15 December 2025
📺 Watch the devlog here: Many years ago we recorded some devlogs that captured the earliest spark of this project. Today, we're dusting off one of those old recordings and sharing it with you all! Here's a window into where it all started. This marks the beginning of our devlog series. We’ll start by sharing a few devlogs from the game’s early development, before moving into more current updates. In this video, we talk about why we chose to set the game in rural South India. Not as an aesthetic layer, but as the foundation of the world itself. The places, rhythms, and everyday textures you’ll hear about here shaped how we thought about story, characters, and play from the very beginning. The devlog comes from an early stage of development, and some ideas have naturally evolved since then. What hasn’t changed is the core impulse behind the setting: to build a world that feels lived-in,…
