As many of you may know, weve had a rough past year that saw our team shrink or dev hours reduced and where we chose to offer Embers Adrift and its subscriber perks for free up until May 2025 due to the Digital River debacle (read our press release here: https://forums.embersadrift.com/index.php?threads/stormhaven-studios-press-release-10-29-24.4710/). During that time we received zero revenue, but were helped by generous donations from the community which allowed us to keep the lights on. We are extremely grateful for their support and are humbled at having made it through this difficult time with our community. During that time we did not sit idle, but worked diligently to improve the game and add many exciting new features. Now that the hurdle is jumped and behind us we are excited to move forward on the Steam platform. Here is a brief list of what was done in roughly the last year while we battled through. For a more detailed look at each individual item and at the plethora of things that didnt make the list you can go to our patch notes (https://forums.embersadrift.com/index.php?forums/patch-notes.105/) and for specific items that interest you, match the date of the patch notes with the date that matches any of the items listed below:

Welcome to Embers Adrift, Drifter! You've escaped the war-torn lands of the south by choosing to take your chances in the dreaded Darklands. After a grueling journey that has left your body wounded and your mind and memories scattered you discover the Great Chasm and a single solitary rope-bridge spanning across it. You hear pleasant tones inviting you across the bridge and discover drifter's landing. Not everyone escapes the Darklands, only the strong. You discover the City of Newhaven and it's struggling inhabitants. After recovering with their help it is your turn to help them survive!
