We’ve made it to our 10th weekly patch! For those who haven’t been watching closely, the last few weeks have been packed with all sorts of fun. Trading cards were brought in, and achievements are in the works as well. Last week brought in the new mini-game, and we hope that everyone is having fun with that! New areas are still being added, with 10 more coming in this week. With the holidays upon us, we’re not slowing down! We’re still plugging away at bug fixes, new content, pouring over community feedback, and continuing to improve and polish Regions of Ruin. We appreciate the many reports, suggestions, feedback posts, and Discord conversations with all of you, the game wouldn’t be where it is today without our community!
Without further ado, here are this week’s notes:
- more controller optimisations
- some default keybinding adjustments
- preparations for steam achievements
- added six ruins locations
- added two snow locations
- added one forest location
- added one desert location

Weekly Patch #8, 1.1.47
Greetings, Dwarven friends!
This week’s patch brings even more new areas, continued improvements to controller support, and a number of other fixes. The community continues to delight us with the steady stream of reports that help us nail down problems and eliminate them, we couldn’t be more proud of you guys! It’s hard to believe that it’s been just under 2 months since launch, and looking back, the game has grown so much in such a short time! Over 60 (70 as of this patch!) new areas have been added, many new enemies, artefacts, building upgrades, and so much more. The journey is still just getting started and there is so much more to come. We thank each and every one of you for your support for Regions of Ruin, and helping us get where we are today!

I will give you the game if you can't afford it.
Hello there! Alex Poysky and Stephen Lucerne here. We've been giving a lot of thought, and as good wholesome people that we are, we feel the need to give back to our community during the holiday season. For anyone out there that simply won't be able to purchase the game we ask you join our discord https://discord.gg/EH8fEUc and speak with either of us today or tomorrow and you will get a free key.
Remember, if you enjoy the game, SPREAD THE WORD and maybe, just maybe, buy a copy for a friend!
We are going to generate a number of keys to be able to gift to anyone who's able to explain to us why they cannot purchase our game. The only thing we ask in return, is for you to tweet, mention on a forum, reddit, etc this offer. That way we can accomplish two goals. First we can help people in need, people that you may know don't have the funds, live in a precarious economic situation, we simply want to pay it forward.
If you are able to, post this around wherever you want. This game is a labor of love, and even though we aren't seeing the money we feel we should be out of it, we ARE feeling the community's love and support.
Please, spread the word!
Best holiday wishes
Alex, Stephen, Lisa, Daniel and Gustav
HOTFIX! on demand combat fix
Hey everyone, Dev here,
Due to the high number of requests, I've made some slight adjustments that will overall help you combat magic user enemies. You can now deflect magic projectiles by hitting them, and I've increased some element resistances when shielding, to null the effects overall.
Hope this helps! We'd love to continue getting your feedback!
Come join the fun on our discord!

SURPRISE! 1.1.46 Week #7
Hey folks,
Bringing you 1.1.46 a few days early! Enjoy!
As we've mentioned before, we're still working on controller support. There is still optimisation to be done, and the feedback you all give on discord goes a long way to getting it on track.
This week we have a few new artefacts and a bunch of new scenes or you to enjoy.
Patch notes:
more UI controller/mouse-free navigation optimisation
worker manager button will now pulse if idle workers
fixed orc crossbow walk animation not starting
fixed dropping through platform bug
fixed the refinery shift+click resource bug
many other minor typos and visual fixes
1.1.45 week #6 fix
Hey everyone, Dev here!
Sincerest apologies for the hiccup with 1.1.45 earlier this week, but we've just updated a fix to solve some of the quirks of the last patch.
Controller support has been our main agenda these last two weeks, ripping the guts out of our input manager and piecing it back together. We're still optimising all of the UI to make controller support more comfortable, and there are some quirks, but nonetheless controllers will now work if you choose to use one.
If you do use a controller, please let us know if you find anything troubling, or just not ergonomic to your liking, there will certainly be cleaning up as we continue working.
Furthermore, here are the notes for this patch!
(more controller optimisation)
groundwork for controller support and mouse free navigation
fixed time delayed caches (e.g. cages) from not opening
using doorways will no longer open caches simultaneously
ON HOLD DUE TO A BUG, FIXING! Weekly Update #6 + A nice surprise for all owners and future owners!
QUICK EDIT! We've detected a few extraneous bugs in this version so we are rolling it back until we get it straightened out in the morning. It's 3 AM in australia and stephen has a crying baby to tend to, sorry ladies and gents! He'll get to it over the week end.
Greetings, Dwarven friends!
