You asked for balance… so we buffed Friendship and the Railgun. One of those will definitely ruin ranked—kidding, kidding, don’t get any ideas. Anyway—hey Embers! Today is all about NPCs, so let’s jump right in.

First up: another cozy NPC interior—this time belonging to Morcha. She’s our seamstress (officially: Weaver), and while I can’t spill the full tea on her gameplay just yet, you can imagine the possibilities: bespoke outfits with unique buffs? Elemental properties woven into armor? Maybe… maybe not… my lips are sealed for now.

When we say “NPCs,” we also mean the folks actually living in town. Expect to bump into villagers as you wander a newly renovated Emberville. Picture dump incoming!

The Emberville Pixel Art Challenge is live now through October 3. It’s a daily prompt marathon, and submissions are accepted through all our socials so if you want in, grab a pixel &nbsp;and hop over. We kicked off with “Lanterns,” inviting pixel art at any skill level.

Short and sweet today. NPCs, town life, and a big warm hug to our community artists. If you haven’t yet, join the Discord and wishlist the game; that’s the best way to support the project. These updates are a blast. See you in the next one!

OOPS ALL NPCs - Devlog Quickfire

Who, what, when, where, why, how — all getting answered today. (Unless you count&nbsp;whomst.)

Small update this week, big lore, so let’s jump right in.

Everybody, meet&nbsp;Tolcan — golden‑maned beastman, tracker, menace to anything that goes bump in the Vitramotus.

Our pixel art team just finished the&nbsp;interior of his house, so while you’re admiring those cozy corners and hunter’s trinkets, here’s the lore drop:

TL;DR: he’s your go‑to guide for surviving your next run.

If you’ve somehow been living under a rock (Patrick Starr, is that you?), Cohh is showcasing a mini Emberville update on Tuesday the 16th. We can’t say what he’s showing (psst… secrets), but you’re going to want to be there. JK HERE IT IS.

Short and sweet today so we don’t steal Cohh’s thunder. Behind the scenes is humming, the house is finished, and Tolcan’s ready to put your notebook to work.
