• Update 2.0.2.0: Startup Input and Map Navigation Fixes - 17 September 2026

  Thank you for your feedback. Update 2.0.2.0 includes the following improvements: 1. Startup input stability Fixed an issue where the game could remain in a paused focus state after startup, causing buttons to stop responding and music not to begin. The game now checks the native window focus state and resumes input and audio when the window is active. 2. Manual map movement The game no longer uses a direct-entry shortcut when only one route node is available. Players must now select the node and confirm travel before moving to the next encounter.

• Update 2.0.1.0: Map Progression, Save Clarity and UI Fixes - 16 September 2026

  Thank you for your reports. This update focuses on map progression, loading saves and interface stability. 1. Map progression and battle recovery Fixed a case where a failed battle restore could leave you unable to proceed on the map. A Resume Battle option now lets you retry. Travel now checks that the selected node is reachable, and recovery messages no longer cover the button. 2. Background activity and waiting messages Unrelated background achievement or collection data operations no longer block travel. Achievement saving is handled separately from journey saving. Clearer messages explain when the current save is still being read or written. 3. Transition overlay safeguards Added a timeout safeguard to clear lingering dark transition overlays. Improved input handling when the game loses focus to prevent unintended clicks, key presses or dragging. 4. Clearer save information Continu…

• Ember Kingdom 2.0 Is Live! DLC Support & Major Improvements - 14 September 2026

  Ember Kingdom 2.0 is now live! Version 2.0 is a major consolidation update that brings together a large number of changes and improvements accumulated from version 1.1 through 2.0. Along with new DLC support, I have revisited class talents, interface flow, combat information, and many smaller gameplay details to make the overall experience smoother. Major Updates DLC Support Added The game now supports Ember Kingdom – Pixel Art Style Pack. Once installed, you can play with a new pixel art presentation and 8-BIT-style music without affecting gameplay, character power, or game balance. Extensive Talent Balance Changes Values, trigger conditions, progression, and synergies across classes and talent branches have been reviewed. Talents that were too strong, too weak, or rarely selected have been adjusted to give different builds more room to shine. UI/UX Improvements Information hierarchy,…

• Ember Kingdom – Pixel Art Style Pack Is Coming Soon — Free! - 11 September 2026

  Hello, Ember Kingdom players! Since the game launched, I've received a lot of feedback from players. I'm very happy to see that many of you enjoy Ember Kingdom's core gameplay, including its turn-based combat, class and talent combinations, enemy intentions, and the choices and events encountered throughout each journey. At the same time, I also heard from players who enjoyed the game mechanics but didn't connect as much with the current character illustrations and overall art style. So I've been working on a completely new visual and musical style: Ember Kingdom – Pixel Art Style Pack This pack reimagines the game's characters, enemies, environments, skill icons, and other major visual elements in a brand-new pixel art style. The in-game music is also replaced with new 8-BIT-style versions, creating a more complete retro RPG atmosphere. I hope it gives players who enjoy classic RPGs, p…

• Ember Kingdom New Class Recruitment: What Do You Want to Become? - 7 September 2026

  With the release of Update 1.1, Ember Kingdom's relic collection, character builds, combat strategy, and overall gameplay systems have grown more complete. After this period of continued adjustment and improvement, the time has come to add a brand-new playable class to Ember Kingdom! This time, I want to leave the decision to the players. What class would you like to see next? A necromancer who commands the dead, a druid who summons beasts and wields the forces of nature, an engineer armed with firearms and mechanical devices, or an original class unlike anything seen in other games? Along with the class name, feel free to share the combat style, core resource, class skill, and two talent routes you would like it to have. Whether you have a simple name or a complete gameplay concept, I will read every suggestion and consider it carefully. Leave your most-wanted class in the comments. Yo…

• 1.0.2 - Steam achievements, and characters that match their surroundings - 4 September 2026

  Two things: achievements were not working at all in 1.0.1, and characters now pick up the light of whatever place they are standing in.FixedSteam achievements now unlock. The 1.0.1 installer was missing a component the game needs to talk to Steam, so nothing you earned was ever reported. It is now included, and our build process refuses to produce an installer without it rather than let this happen again.Nothing you earned was lost. Achievements have always been recorded in your local save first, so everything you unlocked while 1.0.1 was installed is sent to Steam the first time you launch this version.PresentationCharacters are now lit by the scene they are fighting in. Every portrait was painted under the same even light and then placed on whichever background the encounter picked, so a figure carried the same flat lighting into a snowfield, a burning ruin and a lava bridge alike. Ea…

• 1.0.1 - Stability and save fixes, and a 315 MB smaller install - 4 September 2026

  Thanks to everyone who has been playing since launch. This first patch is mostly about shoring things up: saves that failed without saying so, and a way the game could shut itself down on a busy PC. It also takes about 315 MB off the install.StabilityFixed the game closing itself without a word. Each piece of scene art gets a time limit while it loads. If your PC happened to be busy - an antivirus sweep, a download, another game patching in the background - that limit could run out, and the game would quit rather than wait a moment longer. Now it waits.If the game does go down, it says so. The window used to just vanish. You now get a message telling you what went wrong and which folder the report landed in, which makes it far easier to send it our way.SavesFixed autosaves that could fail silently. Antivirus software, cloud sync and the Windows search indexer all grab a file for a momen…
