- Hotfix #2 is here! and Sandbox Gallery sneak peek 👀 - 13 May 2026
Hello Scribes!Good news - we finally have a fix for the performance issues! Today we are releasing a small hotfix update focused on the performance problems we have heard about over the past few weeks.Hotfix Update ContentsThis update is mostly addressed to players with older PC setups, especially those using slower hard disk drives (HDDs) who encountered very long loading times at launch and occasional hiccups during gameplay.Long story short: the problem was caused by how many files the game had to load at the same time. To fix this, we changed the game's file compression system. Now, much, much less data needs to be loaded when the game starts, which should drastically improve loading times for HDD users. As a bonus, the total game size is now even smaller, so you are saving some disk space too!Once you update the game and download the hotfix, the game should run much smoother on the…

- Scriptorium Price Revealed! - 8 April 2026
Hello everyone!Thank you so much for the awesome reception to our release date announcement last week. It’s hard to believe that we are only 8 days away from the Scriptorium launch! On one hand, it feels like plenty of time, but on the other - when you’re in the middle of pre-launch preparations, there are never enough hours in the day.Still, we wanted to take a moment today and answer one of the biggest questions many of you have been asking: how much will Scriptorium actually cost?As you might know, Valve recently updated its pricing matrix, providing developers and publishers with three different pricing variants for their games to adjust prices for different regions. While this was a helpful and welcome addition, it wasn’t always straightforward and didn’t necessarily lead to prices getting lower - in some cases, it even might have led to price increases in certain currencies. Becau…
