  Devlog 25: The Dangerous Desert

  Greetings, fellow cultivators! A Mao hasn’t shown up for a while because I’ve been training in all kinds of cave dungeons across the desert area. Now that I’ve finally finished exploring them, it’s time to give you a proper introduction. Cave DungeonsThe desert area is not only different in terrain and scenery. We’ve also added a number of cave dungeons filled with dangerous enemies and rare ore veins. While exploring, you may also discover pill recipes and Arts left behind by some unfortunate cultivators. No idea who those unlucky people were, of course. Definitely not me.Resources for CultivationMost of the resources found inside these caves are used for cultivation. At this stage, we are no longer ordinary Mortals. If you want a better Pill Furnace, stronger Artifacts, or faster cultivation, you’ll need to venture into these caves and gather the resources required to keep progressing.NPCsThe desert area also features more NPCs than before. You can choose to communicate with them peacefully, or simply attack them if that is more your style. If you happen to meet a cultivator with decent cultivation or... appealing looks, you can even use a Demon-Binding Rope to bring them back home and cultivate together.Of course, before doing that, you’ll first need to build an Engraved Harmony Bed.After all, absorbing someone else’s Spirit Power is certainly faster than cultivating all by yourself. But none of these cultivators are easy opponents. Each of them has their own unique Arts. To stand a chance against them, players will need to build their own combat style through the Inner Realm and develop a setup that suits their strengths. We’re also adding new attack effects for Qi Sigils to make these builds feel more distinct in battle.The desert is not the end of the journey. We’re already working on new areas as well.If you’re interested in the game, feel free to download the demo and give it a try! See you in the next devlog. A Mao needs to go get some water first. The dese...

  Devlog 24: The Inner Realm

  After many days of cultivation, I have finally completed the Inner Realm. Greetings, fellow cultivators! In our game, the protagonist only truly leaves their mortal identity behind and formally begins the path of cultivation after reaching Foundation Building.Upon reaching Foundation Building, the character no longer needs food, water, or sleep. They also gain the ability to sense the flow of the Five Elements throughout the world, causing the Five Elements attributes of their Spiritual Root to change accordingly. At this point, players will also unlock a new system: the Inner Realm.Qi EssenceQi Essences of different Five Elements attributes will appear within the Inner Realm. By dragging a Qi Essence onto a skill, players can imbue that skill with its corresponding element and increase its elemental damage. Qi Essences can be replaced or removed at any time. When facing enemies with different elemental attributes, players can adjust the Five Elements properties of their skills and take advantage of the interactions between the Five Elements. Qi SigilsIn addition to Qi Essences, continued cultivation over time will generate Qi Sigils with a variety of effects within the Inner Realm. Myriad Swords Return consumes 5 Combo Points to strike all enemies 5 times, with each hit dealing 20% Piercing Damage. Myriad Venoms Curse deals 60% damage and applies 5 stacks of Poison to the target.Poison BuildThe most interesting part of Qi Sigils, however, is combining them to create a playstyle of your own. For example, a Poison Build can first use Myriad Venoms Curse to apply Poison, then follow up with Myriad Venoms Devour the Heart, dealing 20% damage for each stack of Poison on the target.Sword BuildA Sword Build can gain Combo Points through different Qi Sigils, then spend them on powerful multi-hit attacks. We do not want players to simply equip whichever option has the highest numbers. Instead, we hope they will combine Qi Essences and Qi Sigils according to their own Five E...

  Devlog 23: From Mortal to Cultivator

  When people think of survival games, they may picture a zombie-infested apocalypse or a harsh struggle for life on a deserted island. Cultivation Realm: Card Survival takes a different approach: card-based survival in a cultivation fantasy world.Many players may wonder: if this is a cultivation game, why is survival still necessary? That question lies at the heart of what we wanted to explore from the very beginning. We wanted to tell the story of an ordinary person struggling to survive in an Illusion Realm, gradually taking their first steps on the path of cultivation.In many cultivation games, players begin as powerful cultivators belonging to prestigious sects. We wanted players to start as genuine Mortals instead. Mortals become hungry and thirsty. With only limited resources available, players must balance survival with cultivation. These everyday difficulties are not meant simply to punish the player. Instead, they represent the first obstacles on the path toward immortality. The first time you gather Thatch, your immediate thought may be to build a Thatch Bed so you no longer have to sleep on the ground. However, Thatch can also be used to make a Meditation Cushion, allowing you to meditate and cultivate. So how should you balance sleep and cultivation?As you explore, you will discover cultivation manuals, pill recipes, and all kinds of unusual materials. At first, their purpose may not be obvious. As your cultivation improves, however, they may become essential for Pill Refining, Artifact Refining, or breaking through to a higher realm. For example, after finding the Xunli Breathing Manual in Sunken Bone Cave and practicing it, your character will gradually become less dependent on food and water. This is an important step in the transition from Mortal to cultivator.Once you reach Peak Qi Refinement and raise the Art to Level 2, you can truly enter the Fasting state.This is the experience we want to create. You do not become an immortal simply by pressing a...
