- Our Quest to 1.0! - 1 September 2026
Hello to all our dear Adventurers! First of all, we'd like to apologize for the lack of updates over the recent period. We've been quieter than usual because we've been taking the time to carefully evaluate the game's direction, review your feedback, and decide how to make the best possible version of Blightstone.Since launching in Early Access, we've learned a great deal from the community. One thing has become especially clear: the roguelite combat and build experimentation are the parts of the game that resonate the most with players. With that in mind, we've decided to focus our remaining development on strengthening those core elements and delivering the best Version 1.0 experience we can.This means we're preparing a major update for September (we don't have an exact date just yet, but it will definitely arrive within the month) that will set the foundation for Blightstone's full r…

- Our Adventure Launches a New Feedback-Focused Roadmap - 6 March 2026
Hey Adventurers! We wanted to get a message to you today, and say thank you to all of you for the incredible feedback you’ve given over the past weeks! When we launched Blightstone into Early Access, we knew it wouldn’t be perfect - but in honesty, we didn’t quite anticipate just how intense those first days would be.Our early tests of the game (and thanks again to our Beta testing Adventurers) were quite positive, so launching into a “Mixed” review score within the first four days of Early Access hit us hard, especially with our small team here at UnfinishedPixel.We saw a really high amount of potential Adventurers choosing to wishlist rather than jumping into Blightstone - with lower numbers actually taking the plunge. Our guess is that (understandably) these folks were waiting to see how we’d improve Blightstone through Early Access. But while we definitely understand that logic, emo…
