  [July 28 Update]Pattern Pack Evolution System&Improved Visual and Sound Effects

  Hello, everyone! It's been a while! Today we're releasing a major content update, introducing the new Pattern Pack Evolution system. After defeating an Inner Demon, players can choose an entire Pattern Pack to evolve. Selected Patterns within that pack will receive targeted upgrades, giving your build a clearer progression path. We’ve also adjusted the refresh rules for Zhou’s Store. It will now only offer Pattern Packs you already own, making it much easier to develop a focused build. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45104517/838c0d2f052dd9f6ddb36e0688c5171ae6c1f8f1.png We’ve also improved a wide range of animations, visual effects, sound effects, and UI elements, reworked several Artifacts, and fixed a number of known issues. We hope these changes make the game even more enjoyable. You can find the full patch notes below. If you run into any issues while playing, feel free to join our official Discord and let us know! We'll do our best to resolve them as quickly as possible. Attentive players may have noticed that this update doesn't exactly follow our original development roadmap. Let's just say we couldn't help going off-script for a bit. 😂 During development, we received a great deal of feedback about the late game, where bad luck could prevent players from obtaining the Pattern upgrades they wanted. We therefore adjusted part of our original development direction. With this new system, we hope to reduce late-game randomness, provide a clearer progression path, and encourage everyone to explore the synergies between different Pattern categories. When we originally created the roadmap, we were focused on adding as much content as possible to the Early Access version and enriching the overall experience. Through our conversations with the community, however, we came to realize that "more" does not always mean "better," and that sometimes it is equally important to streamline and simplify. We will be reorganizing our development plans in the near future as we continue toward th...

  Steam Awards Underway | November 28 Update: New Deck Expanded Mahjong

  Hello everyone! We are planning to push an update on November 28 that introduces a new deck, Expanded Mahjong, along with several optimizations and fixes for known issues from the previous build. The 2025 Steam Awards are now underway. We’ve always hoped that Aotenjo could be your pastime choice, letting the crisp clack of tiles ease the mind and finding peace building your hand. If you’ve felt that relaxation while playing, we would be incredibly heartened if you could nominate Aotenjo for "Sit Back and Relax" at Steam Awards! Time flies and the game has already journeyed through three major seasonal updates. We’ve introduced the Wooden and Dessert Tiles, as well as the Scarlet, Yin-Yang, and Gourd Mahjong, each with dozens of new artifacts, gadgets, and patterns. By exploring and blending different mahjong rules from all around the world, we hope to bring you the unique charm on each of them. This time Expanded Mahjong draws inspiration from Hong Kong Style Taiwanese Mahjong. Unlike traditional 13-tile mahjong, this deck uses a 16-tile hand, hence “expanded.” The core feature of this deck is: more tiles in hand, more possibilities in patterns. With a larger hand, your can aim for more complex patterns and their combinations. We’ve also added over ten exclusive patterns for Expanded Mahjong, along with two special play modes: Eight Pairs Half and Variant Thirteen Orphans. If you enjoy exploring unusual strategies and experimenting with creative plays, this new deck may spark new enjoyment. You can find the detailed patch notes below for easy reference. If you encounter any problems while playing, please join our official Discord server to share your feedback, and we'll work to fix them as soon as possible. ———————————————— V.0.5.1.0-EA PATCHNOTE Added new deck: Expanded Mahjong.
