• The player can only be set on fire for a maximum of 5 seconds
  
• Necro summons now teleport to the player if they’re far away from the player’s location. This should help prevent the frame-skipping that some players have been experiencing when summoning
  
• Made the UI shake more cleanly when crafting an item. Before it was quite jarring, now it’s less so
  
• Moved the Aeromancy skill “Tornado” to level 3 Aeromancy

[h2]Grappling Hook Changes[/h2]

• Throwing your grappling hook now requires 25 stamina. If you don’t have enough stamina, you will not throw your grappling hook.
  
• Swinging/launching from your grappling hook now requires 25 stamina as well. If you don’t have enough stamina, your grapple will simply unhook from whatever it’s attached to
  
• Note: I plan to have a grappling hook skill that you can level up to make your grappling more efficient and effective.
  
• Made more surfaces deflect your grapple (essentially more stone surfaces to make it more consistent as to which surfaces can be grappled onto and which cannot)
  

Harbingers,

The new year has begun with its fair share of challenges and some delays, but the work hasn’t stopped, and we’re ready to share what’s happening behind the scenes.

Welcome to our new edition of State of Eudros, your go-to summary for the latest news from the world of The Bloodline!

[h2]WHAT’S COOKING? 🥘 [/h2]

While Milo was hard at work, he unfortunately found himself in the path of a goblin sneeze and… well, he got seriously sick. This caused some delays in our plans for the first two months of 2025, but luckily, he and his family have recovered, and things are slowly getting back on track.

Right now, the development focus remains on bug fixing, optimizations, QoL improvements, and generally refining The Bloodline experience. So, expect a new update soon, packed with a looooong list of bugs that we hope to leave behind!

[h2]A NEW KINGDOM: LONLAND ❄️ [/h2]

Spending most of the day fixing bugs can be tough for a creative like Milo, and that creativity has found its way into laying the foundation for a new kingdom that will emerge on the horizon in the future!

Several strides have been made in this area, and here’s a sneak peek at what’s to come.



On Discord, we also involved you in voting for which creature you’d like to see roaming the lands of Lonland, and – to our great surprise – the winner was the Runespinner, spiders that weave runes into their webs (sorry, arachnophobes).



[h2]CONTROLLER SUPPORT, WHEN? 🎮 [/h2]

Many of you have been asking about this, you even started a "petition" (we see you!), and it remains one of the hottest topics on the forums: when will controller support arrive?

As we previously mentioned, implementing full controller support turned out to be more complex than Milo initially anticipated – and being a solo dev didn’t make things easier.
For this reason, we are currently in the process of finding a studio to assist with some of the more technically demanding features, including controller support. This will allow Milo to focus on the aspects that require his attention and creativity the most.

We can’t give you an exact date yet, but things are moving! We’ll keep you updated on this.

[h2]FOLLOW THE JOURNEY [/h2]

To stay in the loop with smaller and constant development updates, you could follow Miles on TikTok and X, where he posts regularly. If you want to chat directly with him, you can join the official Discord server, which is also the best place to share your suggestions and feedback.

The world of Eudros will continue to evolve, and we hope you're enjoying this adventure with us ⚔️

A new hotfix patch is available now to address some of the latest issues you reported!
