- UI Update: Where We Are and What Comes Next - 21 September 2026
We want to address the recent UI update, the issues some players have experienced, and the plan behind these changes.The release reached you with more bugs and stability problems than we intended. Parts of it were rushed and would have benefited from more testing across different systems. We understand the frustration this caused, and we’re sorry for the disruption to your experience.Since release, the team has been working hard to address your feedback, with multiple fixes and improvements already deployed. That work continues, including improvements to memory usage, rendering performance, and the reliability of the UI.There is a broader purpose behind this work. Alongside higher-resolution character assets, we are introducing scalable interfaces, higher-resolution UI textures, and rendering paths that make greater use of the GPU. These changes support the current game while gradually…

- EBN News Bulletin: Umbranoid Presence Expands - 26 June 2026
A concerning update on the Umbranoid situation was issued by the Calypso Defense Force (CDF) earlier today, as reports indicate that a third faction of these enigmatic beings has entered Calypso.Very little information is publicly available about this faction thus far, except that they appear to be more advanced than the two previously known factions and capable of using Mindforce technology.In addition to this, a neutral settlement has been founded near Nymphtown by members of all currently known Umbranoid factions. While CDF hardliners have expressed deep concern about the situation and wish to deal with this burgeoning colony through military means, the Colonial Administration has instead designated it a protected area and sent a team of representatives in the hopes of being able to establish official treaties and boundaries.Colonists who visit the area are also reminded to conduct t…
