We are super excited about your warm welcome and support during the Early Access release of Immortal Life. As you are well aware, our journey has just begun as the game entered last Thursday its Early Access stage. There’s a long and exciting road ahead of us, and we already planned several content updates and new features that will be added before the full release date.
Our team got over 130 feedback and 95 bug reports during these first 55 hours. Over 70 bugs have already been fixed and we also implemented into the current game build 5 changes based on your most relevant suggestions. In essence, your comments will always have an impact on the game!
Here and today, we’d like to discuss the problems our gamers are concerned about and share some thoughts we have about what Immortal Life should become in the future.
So here we go!
1. Battle system
We’re not meant to become an action game, but the whole team thinks that you deserve a better designed and more complete battle system, to make your adventures in the caves much more satisfying.
We will redesign part of it in the future, but please understand this battle system might take more than one update to be complete because we plan to work on it for a long time. If you have any feedback or suggestion about how it should be, we’re always willing to listen to your voice.
2. What about the cultivation content?
We know that only using the watering gourd and attending to lessons at the Guiyun sect headquarters is far away from the experience you expected to live in Immortal Life. For that reason, the world of cultivation will be the main subject of the new content update coming up in the following weeks. Stay tuned to learn more about this surprise!
3. Why I am the only character working on everything?!
We’re terribly sorry for letting some of our gamers feel this. We are about to make the Guiyun Sect a place more homely place with the help of your caring brothers and sisters: they will start texting you at random moments of the day to know what you’re up to. Also, we would also introduce a new game design dedicated to the Guiyun Sect, and this would just be the beginning!
Our goal is to make a game that allows you to have an enjoyable and relaxing time in your immortal life, so please keep supporting the project as we walk toward our goal.
4. This game is too complex for me!
We already include 2 new actions that make your life much easier, which are allowing you to use left-clicking to plant seeds, harvest, etc., and the long-pressing the button E to cut down the trees or mining.
But this is just the beginning. In a future update, we’d include new actions with more cultivation feeling in it. In fact, we already heard some fascinating feedback from our community that really draws our attention. We would love to implement them, so please stay patient with us until we can complete them. You should see some new action in the May Update.
5. My warehouse is too small
Yes, we know you all need more slots to keep your crops. With the new update coming today or tomorrow, you won’t need to worry anymore! It’s going to extend the space of your warehouse. And more storage methods, Items, and buildings are coming to you in the next 1-3 weeks!
6. The main story is too short, will you add new content?
After you pass the first 25 – 30 hours, you might feel there’re not many things to do. But don’t worry about it, because in our upcoming major update in May you will enjoy more new missions related to the main quest, more content about your wonderful new brothers and sisters, attractive collections, and even a special event!
Roadmap for May and June
For more information, here’s a visual scheme of our Roadmap for May and June:
Are there any new features that you would like to see implemented in Immortal Life during the following weeks? Both YiFang Studio and 2P Games would love to hear your feedback, so don’t hesitate to drop us a line in the comments or share your thoughts via Discord.
Best regards, YiFang Studios and 2P Games

Sunset Inn Messageboard Vol.1
Hi again, brothers and sisters:
Both YiFang Studio and 2P Games are very happy to see that Immortal Life managed to win your hearts. After such a warm welcome, we felt it was necessary to come back here and share a last minute update before the end of the day. This one is related to our first bug report, a short list we've been preparing in the last hours based on the early feedback we received.
Without further ado, these are the most important problems we have detected so far. Both of them are our highest priority right now, and we’ll push an update to fix them as soon as possible:
The game may crash in some computers due to optimization issues.
The main mission to rebuild the Main Hall may not be activated, which makes you can’t interact with You Jinghe [NPC].
But there are other minor bugs you should know too:
You might see the tools you’re using in wrong places like. e.g., above your head or under your feet.
Right-clicking at the same time you press the Space bar might cause the game to crash.
After changing the display mode to Windows Mode, the game would change to full screen under some circumstances.
You might stuck in the air after jumping inside a room.
The game might crash when you jump at the entrance of Sunset Forest.
A mission can’t be finished.
Players can’t go out of the pharmacy due to a small exit.
Also, here’s a compendium of the most relevant suggestions for new features. We’ll add them all in our next updates!
New character designs with different facial expressions and gestures.
Key binding.
Improvements in the battle experience.
An option to disable the screen shake when you’re collecting wood or bamboo with the axe.
3D model redesign for some buildings.
Thank you all for your help and support in this special day, we couldn’t have done it without you. If you have any new questions, complaints or suggestions for us, feel free to leave them in the comments section or reach us via Discord. We’ll be happy to assist you!
Best regards, YiFang Studios and 2P Games

Please stay tuned! Immortal Life Team
Immortal Life to join the Enter the Dragon fest
Welcome back, everyone:
With less than a week to go before the release of Immortal Life, we’re glad to announce the game will be featured in the Enter the Dragon showcase taking place on Steam from April 22nd to 29th. You’ll find it in the White Dragon category for simulation titles along with many other amazing Chinese games. As part of the event, we’re also releasing the first open demo of Immortal Life, so all of you can experience its wonderful world firsthand before April 28th. Plus, we’ll be premiering the game in a live showcase on April 24th at 7 PM (CEST) / 10 AM (PT).
For those who’re not familiar with the game, Immortal Life is a single-player management game where you take the role of a farmer aiming to deep-dive into the mysteries of soul cultivation. Since the HQ of the cult you aimed to join was destroyed by a natural disaster, you flee into a small village at the foot of the mountain with your new brothers and sisters to rebuild it. There you’ll take care of the crops and do what is needed to bring back the organisation to its glory days.
Work hard to achieve this ambitious goal, but don’t forget about the best part of starting a new life: strengthen your bonds with the community of the valley and explore the valley to unveil its mysteries. There’s a lot to do in this gorgeous place!
The demo, fully available in English, will give you access to the early game and allow you to test the basic mechanics of Immortal Life until the moment you complete the quest of restoring the main building of the sect. It will be a delightful experience for those who had a great time farming, crafting, trading, and making new friends in Stardew Valley or Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Also, don’t hesitate to give it a try if you ever enjoyed Taoist fantasy stories, such as The Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation and Soul Land, or any others where spirituality and elemental magic take the centre stage.
We can’t wait to learn about your first steps into the universe of Immortal Life. Remember tagging @2PCom on Twitter when posting your screenshots and joining the publisher’s official Discord server to share your game tips with the rest of our fellow cultivators.
See you in the next entry! YiFang Studio
IMMORTAL LIFE IS COMING ON EARLY ACCESS NEXT APRIL 28TH
Greetings, cultivators!
There are no words that can define how happy we are right now! After a long period of testing and changes, the Early Access version of Immortal Life is coming on April 28th.

Whether you love games like Stardew Valley or Animal Crossing, or you fell in love with The Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation or Heaven Official's Blessing, we assure you that this idyllic adventure will become a must-have for your Steam library.
As a young farmer aiming to deepen into the mysteries of soul cultivation, you travel to the headquarters of the Guiyun sect dreaming of joining them.

There’ you’ll do what’s in your hand for helping your new brothers and sisters restore what you all lost.
