• You can now quest with friends through Linked Quests! This is my first attempt at shared Quests, so it is not complete yet, but you can already try it and see what you think. • Linked Quests give you many options: timers, trackers, one-time Quests, repeating Quests and much more. • Before creating or accepting a Linked Quest, you can choose whether to share your username, level and avatar, and whether to share the Quest's title and instructions. No answer is chosen for you. Your personal answers stay on your phone. • The idea is to slowly start bringing multiplayer elements into Rysing, so you can expect more in the future. • From this update, Rysing connects to its own server so I can support current and future online features. This is the first step toward a living, immersive world where you can see other adventurers and, in the future, interact with them. • World Presence shows, anonymously, other adventurers in the same place as you. • The World tab and Linked Quests need Sign in with Apple, and the World tab asks you to sign in once. Quests, Journal and Character keep working without signing in. • A Main Story view in the World shows what comes next and what stands in the way, so it is easier to follow the main quest line and to know how to start it. • Vows are now called Quests everywhere. After consideration, this felt like the better name. • All art is redrawn in a new, simpler style: characters, places, Keepsakes and Achievements.

• Explore Hearthgate through immersive places, familiar faces, illustrated Moments, and the News Board. • Edda can now unlock your Bag at Level 3, where story-earned Keepsakes provide small, clearly explained XP bonuses. • Stories can now offer authored Vows that remember where they came from and return to your Chronicle. • New returns with Brock, Nell, Tavi, Mina, and other Hearthgate residents let completed stories keep changing the world. • The World and travel roads can now show anonymous recent travelers and official-content activity, controlled by one privacy setting. • Choose the character artwork that represents you while keeping the same adventurer across classes and the world. • Character, Attribute, and Life Skill progression now ends honestly at Level 10, without empty post-cap, mastery, or cache placeholders. • Reward previews and completion screens now agree, show prepared Keepsake bonuses, and clearly explain when a progression track is already at its maximum. • The retired Atlas is gone, giving places, leads, Roadmarks, and the Chronicle clearer roles across the World and Journal. • Campaigns, Vows, rewards, Life Skills, and living-world stories now provide a complete Portuguese experience. • Evolved Vows now preserve valid action settings, show the current step correctly, and keep editable prompts as placeholders. • Existing players keep their progress while retired progression data, story-earned Keepsakes, and restored accounts reconcile silently.

• The Shared Table adds a new Hearthgate Campaign where you help Bram and Tobin prepare a meal for the town. • Official Vows, Requests, Campaigns, and World moments can now show an anonymous count of recent engagement by other players. • The Campaign Log now shows active timed work with time remaining and overtime progress. • You can now abandon an active Campaign directly from the Campaign Log. • Real-life voucher rewards now stay available before the Bag unlocks and do not add to your inventory burden. • Travel progress subtitles now show the correct target and unit in every supported language. • Character avatars now keep their immersive class artwork when you return Home or change settings.

• Vows can now include 2–8 personal Surprise Rewards, with one revealed when you complete the promise. • Constellations now support more ways to show real-world effort, including wheelchair movement, active time, and linked Constellation Vows. • Each Constellation star now explains its target, evidence, streak, reward, and privacy details in one place. • Vow and Campaign completion screens now give clearer summaries of XP, Vouchers, and Surprise Rewards. • The Iron March and Maren's Ashfall follow-up moments now have richer dialogue and clearer continuity. • Movement evidence now stays consistent across Vows, travel, and Constellation streaks, with route-aware fallbacks when automatic data is unavailable.

• Your first Vow now begins with a guided five-minute walk that explains each creation choice as you make it. • Mara now recognizes your Life Skills at Level 4, reveals training already earned, and explains what Focus, Diligence, Reflection, and Strategy unlock. • Hearthgate has more ordinary life to discover, including Tavi's expanded hide-and-seek story, the fruit stall, and ten evolving visits to The Bench. • The Still Point now gives each of its five garden mornings a distinct practice, observation, and journal reflection. • Dialogue, choices, and action buttons now read more clearly across onboarding, Vows, Campaigns, and world moments. • Senna's story now has richer workshop scenes, clearer choices, and more post-campaign moments in Hearthgate. • Leaving an optional world moment no longer completes it or grants rewards, so it remains available when you return. • Wren's identity now stays hidden until his introduction and recovers correctly for existing campaign progress. • Rysing no longer becomes slow after Life Skills recognition. • Restored characters no longer show negative XP, and their earned level is preserved. • Existing campaign saves now keep their place when story scenes are revised.
