The team has been working on a full UI rework complete with fully mouseable, gamepadable, gorgeous updates for every screen. Here are some mockup screenshots of the new UI:

Joppa is also getting a refresh! Everyones favourite starting area is going to be as textured and lived-in as the rest of the world. More to show on this later! Along with those major reworks, the update will also include:

Hundreds of new sound and visual effects
40 new achievements
New death can and icons
Several new narrative touches
Big bug fixes and performance improvements

You can expect this update to be released in Q2.

Jam with us!

The folks in the Caves of Qud community are doing another mod jam!! The theme this time around is...Vignettes. Like last time, they'll be compiling mods from the jam into a modpack. Unlike last time, they're allowing C# scripting - so they've also extended the duration to a week. Beginner modders are still very much welcome and encouraged to join! If you've ever been curious to try modding now is the perfect chance! The jam will run from March 15, 6:00 PM to March 22 6:00 PM EST. To sign up for the jam visit: https://itch.io/jam/caves-of-qud-modding-jam-2 If you've got questions, visit us on the Kitfox Discord in the #qud-jam channel Thats all for now! We will have more details, about the major update in the coming months so stay tuned! -Alexandra + Freehold

Caves of Qud is a science fantasy roguelike epic steeped in retrofuturism, deep simulation, and swathes of sentient plants. Come inhabit an exotic world and chisel through layers of thousand-year-old civilizations. Decide: is it a dying earth, or is it on the verge of rebirth?

Who are you?

Play the role of a mutant indigenous to the salt-spangled dunes and jungles of Qud, or play a pure-strain descendant from one of the few remaining eco-domes—the toxic arboreta of Ekuemekiyye, the Holy City; the ice-sheathed arcology of Ibul; or the crustal mortars of Yawningmoon.

You arrive at the oasis-hamlet of Joppa, along the far rim of Moghra'yi, the Great Salt Desert. All around you, moisture farmers tend to groves of viridian watervine. There are huts wrought from rock salt and brinestalk. On the horizon, Qud's jungles strangle chrome steeples and rusted archways to the earth. Further and beyond, the fabled Spindle rises above the fray and pierces the cloud-ribboned sky.

You clutch your rifle, or your vibroblade, or your tattered scroll, or your poisonous stinger, or your hypnotized goat. You approach a watervine farmer—he lifts the brim of his straw hat and says, "Live and drink, friend."

What can you do?

Anything and everything. Caves of Qud is a deeply simulated, biologically diverse, richly cultured world.

Assemble your character from over 70 mutations and defects and 24 castes and kits—outfit yourself with wings, two heads, quills, four arms, flaming hands, or the power to clone yourself—it's all the character diversity you could want.
Explore procedurally-generated regions with some familiar locations—each world is nearly 1 million maps large.

Dig through everything—don't like the wall blocking your way? Dig through it with a pickaxe, or eat through it with your corrosive gas mutation, or melt it to lava. Yes, every wall has a melting point.
Hack the limbs off monsters—every monster and NPC is as fully simulated as the player. That means they have levels, skills, equipment, faction allegiances, and body parts. So if you have a mutation that lets you, say, psionically dominate a spider, you can traipse through the world as a spider, laying webs and eating things.
Pursue allegiances with over 60 factions—apes, crabs, robots, and highly entropic beings—just to name a few.
Follow the plot to Barathrum the Old, a sentient cave bear who leads a sect of tinkers intent on restoring technological splendor to Qud.
Learn the lore—there's a story in every nook, from legendary items with storied pasts to in-game history books written by plant historians.
Die—Caves of Qud is brutally difficult and deaths are permanent. Don't worry, though—you can always roll a new character.
