Hey everyone, a very small hotfix was just pushed to address a critical issue with the mod manager.The plugin we use for modio is now considered legacy and is no longer supported by modio, causing a variety of issues. We need to update this plugin, but unfortunately it is not a simple swapout and is actually a lot of coding work.We are working on this right now, but until then, this hotfix will address the major issue people were having in 1.3.1 where you can't access the mod manager because of a "failed to obtain terms of use" error.This will at least get the mod manager working again.

Hello mates, Baron here with a small bugfix patch from the Blade & Sorcery team!Though the main goal here was bugfixing and optimization, there were some additional little goodies that squeezed in nonetheless. Notably, a small feature was added where larger weapons can now stagger enemies through shield (and weapon) blocks if they are hit with enough impact, better representing the transfer of force.There is also a neat visual addition to the Khar-Tib map; the addition of Oron and the Azure Star to the skybox! Maybe some of you guys noticed and wondered about their absence, and the truth was w

Hello mates, Baron here! Update 1.3 is now released and this is number 3 of 4 in the series of free Byeth Updates, with the goal being to canonize some of the extended lore of Blade & Sorcery through additional content and maps.But of course it wouldn't be a Warpfrog release if I wasn't able to tell you that as per usual, the update completely derailed off plan and in a typical pattern of self-flagellation we ended up scope-creeping like crazy. ːsteamlaughcryːBut the good news is that's extra content for you guys!Welcome to Khar-TibThe desert nation east of Eraden and across the Khemenet Sea i

Hello mates, Baron here. As promised, here I am back with the announce date for 1.3, The Khar-Tib Update!The update will be available for PCVR and Nomad Monday, July 6th. Just a week to go!In the meantime, check out some excellent mods from the recent Sentara Modding Competition. The guidelines for this competition were to create vanilla-inspired Sentara themed mods, and the modding community did not disappoint.Here is a little video I threw together to highlight the winners.

Hello mates, Baron here! The Khar-Tib update is just around the corner, as the guys at Warpfrog are clamping down on the last bugs and performance issues.While I don't have a precise release date for you yet, I feel fairly confident to say it is likely pretty soon, and I reckon the next time you hear from me after this will be in a news with the exact date.In the meantime, check out the rest of all the goodies coming to Khar-Tib!Kharese Themed WeaponsThe Kharese weapon pack is quite unusual compared to our the other faction weapon so far, as the designs are quite exotic.

Hello mates, Baron here with news from the Warpfrog front; progress is going great on the next in the series of Byeth releases, U1.3 The Khar-Tib Update. ːpraisesunːAnd with that good news, I have some goodies to show you. But before we get into that, a little backdrop on Khar-Tib:Khar-Tib is a sprawling landmass of blistering desert, east of Eraden and across the Khemenet Sea. The Kharese are a decentralized nation, comprised of clusters of clans. In the deep lore, the tribes of Khar-Tib are historically governed by local strongmen types, typically those with deep ancestral roots and ties to

Hello mates, Baron here. The guys are already busy working on the next Byeth release - The Khar-Tib Update. However, that hasn't stopped the team finding and killing the bugs that had popped up in the Sentara Update.The team have a Sentari bugfix patch for you today. Notable bugs that have been addressed are things like the discombobulate skill not working, or being able to skewer right though enemies with a spear, which was super buggy (the unintended behavior was being caused by the skill that allows arrows to pass right through enemy).Heads up, if you were experiencing any very strange issu

Hello mates! Baron here, and the Sentara Update is officially upon us!Update 1.2 is now live, and it wraps up everything we’ve been previewing over the last couple of news posts into one big Byeth release. This marks the 2nd of 4 free Byeth Updates, with the goal being to canonize some of the extended lore of Blade & Sorcery through additional content and maps. Of course I say that was the goal, but then as usual the update spiraled into a bunch of unplanned scope creep... ːamadeus_happyː But luckily things didn't get so out of hand that the ThunderRoad framework exploded, so it's all good, lo

Hello mates, Baron here! The guys are doing the last pass of bugfixes on The Sentara Update, so we are feeling confidant enough to announce the release date for that as February 24th. ːpraisesunː The release of 1.2 will mark the 2nd of 4 free "Byeth Updates", which are all about canonizing parts of Blade & Sorcery's extended lore by bringing these foreign weapons, armours and maps into the base game. In 1.2 we will be releasing a Sentara and Rakta themed map, so as mentioned in a previous news, here is an early preview of the Sentara map OST.Now we play the waiting game! But thankfully the 24t

Hello mates! Baron here, and before we all break for the holidays I wanted to give you guys a little sneak peek at the upcoming 1.2 update.The Rakta update is now fully complete, so the team have already moved onto the next in the Byeth series releases - The Sentara Update.This update is themed around Sentara, the small maritime nation west of Eraden, renown for its sailors, mercantilism, and piracy! --This news is only going to be a little preview of things to come. I will do a deeper dive in January, and our hope / ballpark is that this update will be ready for release around the end of Febr

Hello mates, Baron here! The last patch of the year is here, but it is also the last of the Rakta patches. After this, the next update you will see is the Sentara Update, which is shaping up lovely by the way! I should be able to drop a sneak peek of that just before Warpfrog break for Christmas.But for now, check out what we have in store with patch 1.1.2 - this small update contains a bunch of fixes for Rakta, but the more juicy news is that it actually brings a whole bunch of great QOL improvements to the mod manager.The most notable change is that overall loading and previewing will be dra

Hello mates, Baron here! Patch 1.1.1 is here and it is a nice one, with some new goodies to compliment the recent release of The Rakta Update.Rakta Faction in DungeonsThe most notable addition is Rakta enemy can now be encountered in Sandbox mode dungeons. ːpraisesunːWe knew even for 1.1.0 that players would want this and honestly their absence never felt right to us! But the issue we had was it was impossible for us to add a new faction into Crystal Hunt dungeons without rewriting the code for how factions spawn in Dungeons because it is all tied to the progression system.
