Patch Notes & Update History

Update Log: Strengthening the Foundation

• Training & Breakthroughs: The process for learning new skills has been redesigned. You now follow training plans to reach 100% progress. Random Breakthrough events can trigger to provide bonus progress and you can choose how to utilize these insights.
• Synthesis Crafting (Test Phase): The Small Artisan Bench is now available for synthesis style crafting. This currently features four possible results for testing purposes. Since three of these are already in the craft recipes players should treat this as a system test rather than a hunt for new items.
• Resting System Logic: Added the foundational support for random event triggers during rest. The underlying code is now ready for specific narrative events to be added in the coming weeks.
• Combat Consistency: The base rate for stun resistance has been improved to ensure a more balanced battle experience.
• World Growth: A new zone is now open with fresh NPCs and related events. New martial arts skills have also been added for you to discover and master.
• Supporter Foundation: Added the core technical logic for the supporter system to help keep the game alive and growing.

Dev Note

I decided to release this update today to ensure we stay on a weekly schedule. Some features like the synthesis bench and resting events are currently in their early testing or foundational stages. Thank you so much for continuing to check in and supporting the journey of Wuxia Logs. It is your presence that keeps this world moving forward.

A New Year and A New Path

Happy New Year to all practitioners. Today marks exactly one year since the journey of Wuxia Logs began. It has been a long and rewarding road for this project and your presence here makes every second of development time worth it.

In the world of martial arts a new year represents a shifting of the heavens and a chance to refine your soul. To celebrate this milestone we are offering two special gifts to help you reshape your journey. Whether you wish to fix a past mistake or try a completely different style of combat these codes are for you.

• Each code will give you 100 Reset Status Points.
• Note: Each code can be used once per character per account.

These codes symbolize the chance to start a new life and walk a different path. We hope these gifts empower you to surpass your limits and achieve true greatness in 2026. Thank you for being part of this journey during our first year of development.

We wish you a year filled with inner strength and the courage to conquer every challenge on your path.

Update Log: Tactical Refinements & Ghost Busting

• Combat Fluidity: Fixed an issue where enemies defeated before their turn would linger as "ghosts" and stall the battle.
• Stun Balancing: Introduced a Stun Resist buff to prevent stun-locking. This change also increases the impact of the Resolve stat in the early game.
• The "Polite" Bed Bug: Fixed an issue where players could use a Bed item right before a fight. Your enemies will no longer wait for you to take a nap before attacking.
• Auto-Battle Logic: Fixed a bug where the auto-battle system would sometimes trigger unequipped skills. It will now strictly use only your currently equipped skill set.
• Deflection Clarity: Corrected a display error for the Deflect mechanic. The log now correctly states that you "deflected most of the attack" rather than claiming no damage was taken.
• New Content: Added fresh events and new enemies to the newest zones for you to discover. Enemies will now also react more often in combat.
• Fixes: The Pass Guardian Bear can no longer be farmed indefinitely, stackable containers (Coin Pouch) now give full items, and mountain animals now drop proper meat.
• Account Fix: Resolved an issue that forced new players to re-login before they could create their first character.

Dev Note

This update focuses heavily on cleaning up combat logic and fixing some of the more "creative" ways players were interacting with items. I especially want to thank those who reported the "pre-battle nap" bug. As much as we all love a good rest, the Jianghu is a dangerous place where enemies don't wait for you to fluff your pillows.

The adjustments to Resolve and the fix for Auto-Battle should make your progression feel much more consistent. Thank you for the detailed reports and for helping me refine the experience. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and a great holiday season!

Update Log: The Minimalist Path (v0.10.1)

• Minimalist Mode+: Added a new UI style for those who prefer an (almost) pure text experience. It focuses entirely on the narrative and can be toggled in the menu.
• Enhanced Logs: Redesigned exploration and battle logs. They look much better now and provide a much cleaner reading experience.
• Character Settings: You can now rename your character (once every twenty four hours for now). Added Concealment Mode to mask your name from others in public.
• New Customization: Added settings to adjust battle log size and toggle UI styles to fit your preference.
• World Filling: Added several new events to the newest zones.

Update Log: The World Expands (v0.10.0)

• New Zones & Story: Two major new zones are now open! The main event skeleton is complete from discovery to the final boss of the region. Expect ~1 hour of gameplay per zone.
• System Update (Travel): Removed the Fatigue requirement for traveling between zones. Exploration should now feel much smoother and less restrictive.
• System Update (Inventory): Added "New Item" notifications. You can now clearly see which items were just added to your bag.

⚠️ A Note on Difficulty (Alpha Balance)

The bosses in these new zones are tough.

Since the Blacksmithing & Crafting systems are not fully implemented yet, you may find yourself under-geared for these fights. You will need to rely on strategy, consumables, and your martial arts mastery to survive. Good luck, heroes.

Update Log: The Promise Keeper & UI Refinement

• New Player Home Dashboard: The main `Character` page has been replaced with the Martial Record (The Player Home Dashboard). This new hub captures the essence of your journey, displaying your Titles, Current Status, Cultivation Progress, and Journey Logs in one cohesive screen.
• Selectable Titles: Implemented the new Title System. Titles are now unlocked upon completion of specific feats (e.g., *Promise Keeper*) and can be freely selected to display next to your character name.
• Dynamic Player Status UI: Introduced a new, cleaner status panel. The display can be toggled between the Normal mode and a more Compact Player Status mode (via the Game Menu) for enhanced mobile gameplay.
• Comprehensive Mobile UI: Applied further styling and organization tweaks across all pages to ensure a compact, clean, and highly readable experience on small screens.

Under the Hood: Optimization

• Data Transfer Optimization: Refactored several core event loading processes to significantly reduce overall data transfer size, resulting in snappier performance, especially on slower connections.
• Stability: The new v0.9.9 includes complex foundational changes, and while every effort has been made to stabilize the build, please report any new bugs you encounter.

Dev Note: Living the Wuxia Logs Journey

Hi everyone! This update was unexpectedly massive and complex, but I believe it brings us closer to the vision of a true Wuxia Logs experience.

The new Martial Record is a place to tell your character's unique story—your choices, your path, and your titles are now celebrated there. The compact UI improvements also mean your adventure is smoother and less taxing on your device.

Thank you for your patience as I tackle these foundational systems. Please give the new UI a try and report any unexpected issues. Your feedback is what smooths the path forward!

Update Log: The Unorthodox Path & World Data

• New Companion: Bandit Leader: Implemented a powerful new ally for players on the unorthodox cultivation path. The Bandit Leader offers high-risk, high-reward combat support, distinct from the righteous path.
• New Event Chain: Added a multi-stage questline to locate and recruit the Bandit Leader. This content explores the darker side of the Jianghu.
• Journey Log Upgrade: The world map now displays strategic data including Relationship Status with NPCs and a Zone Completion tracker. You can now clearly see secret progress beyond 100% for each zone.
• Performance: Optimized event display rendering for faster load times and smoother text transitions.

Survival Mechanics & Event Refinements

• Forest Shrine Blessing: Triggering this event now grants the 'Sense of Herb' buff, significantly increasing your harvest chances for crafting resources.
• Stamina Recovery: You can now consume 'Grilled Meat' during 'Out of Fatigue' events to speed up stamina regeneration and return to adventure faster.
• Health System: The 'Out of Health' collapse event is now shorter and less disruptive to the game loop, though the Internal Injury debuff remains a key survival threat.

Dev Note: Defining Your Path

Hi everyone! This update deepens the RPG elements by supporting different playstyles. I hope you feel comfortable living your Wuxia life in this update.

Update Log: Companions & The Path of Semi-Idle Cultivation

• Semi-Idle Cultivation Toggle: Added a Basic Auto-Battle System toggle! If you believe your martial foundation is strong enough, you can now close your eyes during simple fights. This is a core part of making Wuxia Logs playable while you handle real-life duties.
• Basic Companion System: Implemented the foundational system for Combat Companions. Currently, only the NPC Lian can assist you in battle, but this is a clear sign that you will not always walk the Jianghu alone! (You may find her inside the local Inn, if you are fortunate enough to be close to her.)
• Improved Information: Both the Skill UI and the Item Inventory UI now provide better, more detailed information, making character planning and inventory management much clearer.
• General Stability & Quality: Applied various fixes and made continuous improvements across the board.

A Note: Balancing the Path

Hi everyone! This update officially begins our shift toward the "Semi-idle" Wuxia game loop I've been aiming for. I know many of us want to live a Wuxia life while still living our real lives, and the new auto-battle feature is key to that.

Moving forward, the most crucial task is balancing the game loop around this new system. We need to ensure that the time you spend AFK (auto-battling) feels rewarding, but the time you spend actively playing (tackling tough encounters, managing companions, engaging with the story) remains necessary and strategic. That balance is what truly defines a good semi-idle game.

Thank you for helping me test this new direction. Please let me know if you encounter any bugs. Your feedback is vital as I forge this new flow.

Update Log — Combat Flow & UI Polish

• Refined the core logic for battle flow. Combat actions and round transitions should now feel significantly 'snappier' and more fluid, with less delay.
• Implemented new Skill Filters in the Battle UI. You can now toggle between 'All', 'Standard', 'Reaction', and 'Finisher' skills, making it much easier to plan your martial arts.

Update Log — System Refinement & Battle Flow Revamp

Core Systems & Stability

• Account Titles & Rewards System: Implemented foundational systems for Account Titles (for player recognition and future character effects) and Redeem Codes, which will be the primary mechanism for distributing unique, permanent rewards to our Alpha supporters.
• Smarter Enemies: Refined the logic for NPC behavior, ensuring enemies and dynamic encounters now react more intelligently and logically to player actions.
• Faster Place Events: Optimized core event handlers in places like shops, inns. Interactions and event triggers should now respond significantly faster, leading to less waiting.
• Polished Skill UI: The Skill User Interface (UI) has been significantly cleaned up and now provides more detailed information about each skill's effects and requirements, making it easier to plan your character's build.

Major Battle System Refactor: The Flow of Focus

The continuous work on the battle system's core backend has culminated in a major shift in tactical combat:

• Introducing Focus-Driven Reactions: The arbitrary limit on using Reaction skills (like Parry, Block, and Counterstrike) has been removed! You are now limited only by your resources.
• New Rule: Every Reaction skill now requires Focus to be activated. This means you can react multiple times in a single turn, but only if you have carefully planned and conserved your Focus.
• More Tactical Depth: This change greatly improves the flow and tension of combat while maintaining the simplicity of the original system.
• The Choice: Players must now strategically decide whether to spend Focus on a devastating Finisher or conserve Focus to execute a perfectly timed Defensive Reaction to survive an enemy's powerful attack.
• Immersive Action: This design makes perfect sense for the Wuxia world: important, split-second actions require absolute concentration to perform.

A Note:

Hi everyone! I know this week was heavy on "nuts and bolts" updates, especially with the battle system refactor now complete (though I know we still need to chase stability bugs). I also know some of you are checking back often for the promised new zones and Sects.

The goal of this Alpha isn't just to drop story chapters; it's to build a stable system that can handle the massive amount of content I plan to add later. I need the "engine" to be ready so that future updates can be bigger and arrive faster.

I know waiting is hard, and I truly appreciate the 4-5 of you who keep checking in. I'm working as hard as I can with the time I have to make sure the foundation is worthy of the game we all want this to be.

Lastly, as always, I openly welcome your feedback. Please test the new reaction system! If you have thoughts on the combat flow, the strategic value of Focus, or anything else, please share them. Your insights are invaluable as I refine the experience.

Update Log — New Features & Foundations

• New Skills: Added 2 new skills, which can be learned at the Village Training Ground.
• Journey Logs: Added a new "Journey Logs" section to the Character page. This will be used for future summaries.
• Crafting Foundation: Added the first version of the crafting window, starting the foundation for the new crafting system.
• Performance: Events in places (like inns and shops) should now respond much faster.

A Note

Thank you for all the feedback. To make this easier for everyone, I plan to add an in-game feedback form in a future patch.

My main focus now shifts to the next major update, which will introduce 2 new zones and the first two Sects! Thank you for trying the game, and I hope you have a nice day.

Update Log — New Events & A Major Milestone

• New Event: Added a new conversation line with the Support Novice, which can be unlocked after gaining relationship points from sparring.
• New Passive Skills: "Basic Herbalism" and "Wilderness Sense" can now be learned from NPCs in the village. These will unlock new choices and opportunities during events.
• New Setting: You can now adjust the text speed in the game's settings panel.
• Bug Fix: Fixed a bug where the Bedroll item was incorrectly making you rest slower than normal.

A Note

I'm thrilled to announce that the basic Sect system is complete and now in testing locally! This is a huge milestone. It means the core, foundational framework of the game is finally in place.

With all the basic systems built (there will be more features), the real journey can now begin: polishing the world, expanding the story, and truly infusing this game with the heart of Wuxia. I can't wait to share what's next.

Update Log — Additional Reputation System & Combat QOL

• Battle QOL: Improved the skill selection UI during combat.
• Battle QOL: Added a new "Auto-Pass Reaction" toggle to speed up combat flow.
• New Feature: Reputation is now visible on your Character page.
• System Foundation: Training Grounds and Shops can now have reputation requirements.

A Note

This patch adds some key quality-of-life features to combat and lays additional foundation for the Reputation system.

This is a critical building block for the upcoming Sects, as your standing with a faction will soon unlock exclusive skills and items.

Update Log — New Skill & System Reworks

• New Skill: "Looking for Someone" - You can now actively search for specific NPCs in your current location (like the Inn Attendant). This is a foundational system that will be used for many future encounters.
• Battle System Rework - The entire battle system has been redesigned on the backend. This makes combat much more stable and reliable, paving the way for future expansions.
• New Player Onboarding - Added several new starter events to help guide new players and explain how the world works.

A Note

This was another major foundational update. These new systems (like "Looking for Someone" and the battle rework) are the pillars that future content will be built on.

My focus is now shifting to the minor fixes and polish needed to finally unlock the new zones. I'm pouring a lot of my time into this update, and like cultivating a strong martial foundation, it cannot be rushed. These big changes are bringing us much closer to the next chapter. Thank you for your support!

Update Log — Bug Fixes & System Reworks

• Bug Fix: The bug in the Deep Forest zone has been resolved. My apologies to all who were stuck.
• Dialogue Overhaul: Conversations and events now have a much better flow, feeling more natural and immersive.
• General Stability: Dozens of smaller bugs were fixed while developing the new content.

A Note

My focus has been on building the new zones. To ensure they are rich with content from day one, I am developing the new sect, skill, and item systems at the same time. This approach will make sure the new areas launch with meaningful content, not just as empty maps.

The final pieces, such as sect task boards and more immersive NPCs, are now the main focus. Thank you for your patience and for your invaluable help during this alpha test.

Update Log — Places Integration

The insides of places are now integrated directly into the exploration page.
This makes the experience faster and reduces bugs caused by page switching.

With this update, places can now handle NPC triggers inside them.
This opens the door to immersive features in future patches:

• An inn waiter greeting the player when entering
• Special ambush events while resting in inns
• Text notices of other unknown martial heroes passing by in the same zone

This change is a foundation for many upcoming features and expands the possibilities for richer Wuxia adventures.

Update Log

• Event system refactor: A complete restructuring of how events are stored and triggered. This lays the groundwork for more flexible dialogues, branching logic, and scalable translation support.
• New zones under construction: The world is expanding beyond the starting areas. These zones will bring tougher enemies, fresh encounters, and unique rewards once the foundation is ready (including the first starter sects).
• Performance improvements (WIP): Ongoing work to optimize the backend for exploration and battles. Once complete, this will make the Jianghu smoother to traverse even as more content is added.

A Note

Sometimes the most important updates are invisible. While there isn’t much new story this week, the underlying changes are what make future content possible.
