  Season 1 Episode 2 - Sprouts of Rage Rework

  In the second episode, Sprouts of Rage was the key focus. Like Chasing of Hate, its simplistic design had no real meaning. Sprouts of Rage was meant to be a sprout, not something that looks fully developed, so the flower-sprouting design was the most reasonable choice. New features, just like Chasing of Hate, are below. New Static Mesh The new static mesh has a stem and petals, but looking closer, its petals appear to decay. This was chosen because rage doesn't just start instantly; it has a build-up but often decays before it reaches its full potential. The static mesh was designed to reflect that. Animations Just like Chasing of Hate, it used to simply move toward the player and apply damage. Seeing the success of Chasing of Hate's animation work, the flower was given a sprouting animation and a shooting animation. Combat Speaking of shooting, unlike Chasing of Hate, its combat method was changed to a ranged attack. However, unlike Fixed Resentment, its projectile doesn't correct its course. This was a necessary balance choice, since Sprouts of Rage are far more common than Fixed Resentment. Texturing Unlike Chasing of Hate, emission wasn't the focus. It was meant to blend into the environment, making it harder to see. Hate stands out because people tend to express it outwardly; rage is more internal and doesn't get expressed as often. Instead, looking closely, its leaves are the part that decay. SFX The projectile itself is silent when fired, but if it flies past you, it sounds like an arrow whistling by. It was decided that each sub-emotion should feel like a part of the region it's in, rather than simply existing there. It has to feel like it belongs. Most sub-emotions in the game don't, which is why Seasons 1 through 4 have that as the primary objective.

  Season 1 Episode 1 Update (OB.W3/DW23)

  In the first episode of Season 1, Chasing of Hate was the key focus. Being the first monster the player encounters, it was only reasonable for it to be the first episode. Chasing of Hate used to be a simple static mesh, but now that Season 1 has released, it looks far more hateful. A few of the features added to Chasing of Hate are below. New Static Mesh Since hate is so common, an animal was desired for this emotion, as animals are very common too. The animal chosen was a snake. Snakes are often seen as angry and hostile, and given how common they are and how well known they are for their aggression, it was a reasonable choice. Animations Before, Hate simply reached the player, applied damage, and that was it. Now it has a movement animation, an idle, and a strike animation. Texturing Hate wasn't meant to be any ordinary snake. Its glowing veins, combined with its glowing eyes, make it feel unsettling. SFX Like the animations, sound effects didn't exist before. Now Hate has the iconic snake sounds: its slither, hiss, and strike. It was decided that each sub-emotion should feel like a part of the region it's in, rather than simply existing there. It has to feel like it belongs. Most sub-emotions in the game don't, which is why Seasons 1 through 4 have that as the primary objective.

  Open Beta Week 1 Development

  Beta Week 1 Complete — Patch Notes (OB.W1/DW21) Development for Beta Week 1 (OB.W1/DW21) has ended as of 9/4/26. Beta Week 2 begins 9/7/26. Features Logic Region — New default spawn region. Acts as a "Lobby" hub, giving players access to any region from here. Includes a brand new soundtrack. Ability UI Improvements — Rationalize, Harvest, Deductive, and Inductive now each have icons in the bottom right of the screen. Icons appear black when unusable and light blue when usable. Anchor (Passive) — Claims land using Hex Blocks, which spawn in a grid pattern whenever a player deals damage to an emotion. Hex Blocks only count toward Emotional Maturity if the damage was dealt to an unclaimed space. Emotional Maturity — A region is won once 1,000 Hex Blocks have been created in it. This threshold is subject to change based on ongoing balancing. Harvest — New Secondary Function — With mana available, Harvest now also acts as a turret, dealing 5 damage per tick (1 tick/sec) to enemies in range at a cost of 1 mana per hit. Without mana, Harvest still converts resistance into health as before. Bug Fixes Fixed Amalia (main character) incorrectly rotating in the downward pitch direction. Fixed a bug where converting resistance to mana would reset resistance to 0, even when the conversion didn't consume all of it. Various minor code fixes with no direct impact on gameplay.
