Game Jam December
Traditional Jams are 55%+ Sugar.

Game Jams give our J-Mods the chance to spend a week exploring personal projects, community suggestions, and other exciting ideas. We have been hard at work getting all manner of prior gamejam projects out to the community recently, including several Graphical Area updates, Master Cape Particle Recolouring, Off Duty Attires and a whole host of quality of life updates!

Keep an eye out on our social media this week to catch a glimpse of some of the projects in the works!

Please note that everything shown is subject to internal reviews, scheduling and testing processes. While these projects may appear complete in places, all Game Jam projects take a significant amount of additional work to implement - not all Game Jam projects shown may make it into the game, and we can't offer a timeline or guarantees of Game Jam content releases.

Omen Plushie Last Chance To Pre-Order!
Catch them before they go!

Our adorable Omen Plushie has reached its goal, and Makeship has extended the pre-sale campaign for an extra week! Orders will now close for good on December 20th. If you want to get your hands on the cutest owl this side of Um, make sure you pre-order yours here!

By the way, if you ordered a Wise Old Man or Bob the Cat plushie earlier this year then good news - they've shipped earlier than expected! You should already have yours, or be expecting a knock on the door soon. Just in time for the holidays!

Community Hitlist round 2
Coming up 2024

Since March, we've been chipping away at your suggestions on the Community Hitlist - now we're ready to stock up on a few more for the new year! Head over to the survey and let us know about:

• Bugs we should prioritise
• Tweaks to existing content you'd like to see
• Issues that break you out of your game experience

This year we've added tons of quality of life updates and changes, such as the recent Bank Preset loading, custom Excalibur interaction options, Runecrafting pouch fixes, audio tweaks to spare your ears and shift+click dropping from your backpack. We can't wait to see what comes next!

Patch Notes
Fixes and Improvements in this Week's Game Update

Zemouregal & Vorkath

• Fixed a typo in Zemouregal's voice lines in Battle of Forinthry.

• Vorkath will now be shot down if the ballista fires just as Vorkath starts flying for his special attack.

• All variants of Excalibur now have "Remove to bank/inventory" options in the worn equipment interface of the bank, irrespective of whether Activate or Wield/Remove has been configured as their default option.
• Improved formatting and text colour on mobile when entering a Bank PIN incorrectly.
• Fixed an issue where Runecrafting pouches couldn't be filled with Impure Essence.
