- Your Qud 2025 Wrapped: Patches, Platforms, Staying Weird
- <p class="bb_paragraph">Here is your Caves of Qud year Wrapped, brought to you by a several snapjaws in a ironweave cloak.
<p class="bb_paragraph">First, happy birthday to Qud! We launched 1.0 a year ago, and we've had a nice, long recovery from 15+ years of updates. But we still managed to make a lot of progress towards our long-term goals.
<p class="bb_paragraph">In 2025, Caves of Qud wrapped:

<p class="bb_paragraph">Yep! In fact, we’ve been patching the Beta branch regularly with some deep performance optimizations, so if you’re curious to try a buttery-smooth experience, wander into the Beta branch and let us know if you encounter anything off.
<p class="bb_paragraph">Meanwhile, our Switch port is coming along (release date still pending), the expansion pack is in the works, we're tinkering on our localization experiment in Turkish, and there’s more excellent merch coming in the new year.
<p class="bb_paragraph"><img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/7472163/47400d43f822bb84715a01c7a9f026d6bc4bd076.png" />
<p class="bb_paragraph">We’re spinning a LOT of plates, and we appreciate your continued patience while all of these efforts come to fruition.

<div class="bb_h2">Mod of the Year: Hearthpyre </div><p class="bb_paragraph"><a class="bb_link" href="https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1683847053" target="_blank" rel="" >https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1683847053</a>We wanted to take a moment to highlight Hearthpyre, a base-building mod, and one of the best Caves of Qud mods period. It's made by Armithaig, who has since joined the Freehold team and is responsible for the tech implementation of a vast array of features, including: golem and mech interiors, much of what's atop the \[redacted], complex dynamic quests Reclamation, If Then Else, and Landing Pads, most of our recent modding enhancements, and many of the late-game visual effects.
<p class="bb_paragraph">Armithaig got their gamedev start in the early 2000s modding games like Morrowind, Freelancer, and Dungeon Siege. With Hearthpyre they wanted to let folks live in the little nooks and homes that exist across Qud. Go check it out if you haven't already.
<p class="bb_paragraph">
<div class="bb_h2">Get an extra discount on: 1000xRESIST</div><p class="bb_paragraph">We love this game! 1000xRESIST is one of the best-written games of the past several years, and if you own Qud, you can get it right now for an extra 10% off. That's on top of the game itself being on sale right now. If you like novel science fiction settings with powerful resonant themes (like Qud), then we highly recommend 1000xRESIST. Grab it below!

<div class="bb_h2">That’s a Wrap!</div><p class="bb_paragraph">However you celebrate this time of year, warm or cold, we wish you plenty of beverages to imbibe and loved ones to hold in your many arms.

- <p class="bb_paragraph">Hey everyone,
<p class="bb_paragraph">It's Alexandra here from Kitfox with an assortment of game news while the team remains in the midst expansion, porting, and localization efforts. They've truly grown at least one extra arm to be able to do all that!
<p class="bb_paragraph">
<div class="bb_h3">Nominate Qud for the Steam Awards 2025</div><p class="bb_paragraph">The Steam Award nominations are now open! This year, ''Caves of Qud'' is eligible for MOST of the award categories, so make sure you vote for as many as you feel is appropriate. Maybe Story-Rich Game, Soundtrack, or Steam Deck? Sit Back and Relax for the sicko voters???? You can nominate for all the awards here: <a class="bb_link" href="https://store.steampowered.com/steamawards/nominations/2025" target="_blank" rel="" >https://store.steampowered.com/steamawards/nominations/2025</a>

<div class="bb_h3">Switch port announcement</div><p class="bb_paragraph">Hey folks, Jason and Brian here. Unfortunately we have to delay the switch release of Caves of Qud until January. The port took a little longer to meet our bar of excellence than we were hoping for. And given Caves of Qud's long development timeline, what matters most to us is releasing the best possible version of the game, even if it means delaying a month. The good news is we're confident about the January timeframe. So, we will see you on Switch soon.
<p class="bb_paragraph">
<p class="bb_paragraph">That's all, friends. We'll have another general Qud update next month. Until then, live and drink.

- Tech patch on beta branch
- Hey all,
We put up a new beta to test some forward-looking technical improvements to the codebase. Ideally, you should not notice any difference in play experience, but it would be helpful for some of you to test and confirm this! So if you're interested in helping, switch to beta and try it out. - — 2025-10-07 01:16:30
