| The Xenosensory Awaits... | 2026-01-09 | Greetings again filthy boneraisers. Hope you aren't too worn out after raising all those new years bones! Over the Winter I've been beavering away myself with another game that I just released last week. It's much smaller and laid back than Boneraiser but it's a strange incremental game so you might enjoy yourself with it. Deep on a prison space station you must help the convicts escape from a Xenos attack. You'll be busting plenty of Xenos, dealing with Anomalies, and of course unlocking oodles of incremental meta progression perks. There's a story to unravel and SECRET APPLES. It's my first true incremental game so it made a nice little win |

| Patch v37.8 | 2025-11-06 | //misc changes - The various 'Skirmish Supremacy' achievements are now triggered after scoring 99,999+ (instead of 111,111+), which also affects the Skirmish related Hub gems. - Psycho Possessed class: The Celestial Vessel's Heavenly Monks and Divine Demon minions are now treated separately from regular Monks/Demons (previously they were just reskins so for example would use the same Demon max cap). - Compendium - Boneraise Necromancy: Entries have been added for the Heavenly/Divine Monk minions used by the Celestial Vessel class (this is just so they work correctly with the Psycho Possessed class). - Compendium - Beastiary: An entry has been |

| Celestial Update (v37) | 2025-10-27 | Welcome back you filthy stinking boneraisers. The spooky halloween season couldn't be over without a boneified mischevious monday update. Not a huge amount of brand spanking new stuff but a lot of general bits and bobs improvements based on feedback over the year from the likes of you, yes YOU! Your time of sin is over as the Heavens have grown tired of watching you raise ever bigger bones! A new Boss has been added called the Godly Vessel who seeks to fill you full of his holiness spear. The usual Heavenly Vessel special stages now also have a new enemy, the Heavenly Cherubs who bring lightning wrath upon your evil soul. If you fancy joining |

| The Void awaits... | 2024-09-18 | Greetings again filthy boneraisers... I've been beavering away raising something else of late, namely a new game called Voids Vigil! It's an auto-battling bullet-heaven like Boneraiser Minions so you might enjoy fondling it for a bit. You won't be raising bones though instead robotical cogs which you can use to buy auto-attacking weapons, active abilities, drones, and eventually upgrade them into mega variants. It's more action orientated than Boneraiser and doesn't have the same meaty meta grind as I wanted something that's a bit more fast and fun to play right from the start. So if you're fan of Boneraiser's faster-paced Necrotic Skirmishes |

| Free Soundtrack Is Back | 2024-06-17 | Filthy ones... I was recently made aware that Steam removed their Media Player in the last UI Update replacing it with a Soundtrack Player. Nice thing about the old Media Player is it would automatically scan your installed game folders for any soundtrack albums and add them for you to play. This was how you would listen to the Boneraiser soundtrack that came with the game, but unfortunately the new Soundtrack Player can't do this so there was no longer a way to play the album natively in Steam... until now! A free Soundtrack DLC has been added to the Boneraiser store page which you can activate and will be added to your Soundtrack Player. Ju |
