| Introducing Mooneye Indies and Haven Park | 2021-05-06 | Hi Community! We have big news today! We created our own indie publishing label called Mooneye Indies in order to help narrative and wholesome indie games reach the audience they deserve. Way too often the most wonderful little gems fly under the radar even though the community is out there looking for beautiful wholesome games or meaningful narrative experiences. Especially small indie teams struggle with reaching enough people, to make all their blood, sweat and tears worth it when the title finally sees the light of day. We learned so much while self-publishing Lost Ember worldwide and on multiple platforms simultaneously, that we decided |

| New Game Mode! - Patch 1.1.0.12935 | 2020-06-30 | We have a brand new patch for you and it's a big one! This last patch really demanded quite a bit more attention than we had planned. But let's get right to it: NEW FEATURE: we implemented a minimalistic game mode that allows you to turn off all ingame commentary of your spirit companion. This way you can fully concentrate on the visuals and figure out what exactly happened all by yourself. This feature can be toggled on and off at any time during the game, so we urge everyone to try it out! A lot of fixes: we've been combing through all your reports of crashes or other bugs and managed to fix a whole bunch of them! If you experienced a crash |
| Preview new features and patches in our Preview branch! | 2020-04-08 | Hello wonderful people! As you know we're constantly working on fixing bugs or bringing other improvements into the game. The process is usually as follows: Some of you report a bug or request a feature We implement it We test it internally For bigger changes, we test a bit more We release it Now that process can take several days or even weeks while some of you might wait for crucial fixes. So we decided to open up our preview branch! That way we can always upload an untested version of a fix that might allow you to progress to the next chapter without that annoying crash and (if you want to go back to a more stable version) switch back to t |
| It’s a Merch Store! We have a Merch Store! | 2020-04-03 | Hey you guys! Look here: store.mooneyestudios.com It’s a Merch Store! We have a Merch Store! A lot of you have been asking for Lost Ember merch and especially for a plush wombat. We made a prototype of a plush wombat, but we need to find out if enough people are actually willing to buy before we start ordering because there’s minimum and we’re afraid we might end up sitting on a massive pile of plush wombat :D So we added a poll to the merch store, make sure to fill it out if you would buy a plush wombat when it's ready to be shipped! Ok, yea, just go check it out. Just one more thing I wanted to mention. The Wombert prototype is the work of |
| Quick hotfix for the last patch - Patch 1.0.2.12355 | 2020-03-02 | After publishing the last patch we realized that there was an issue with customizing controls (or rather resetting to default controls) that could lead to broken movement and camera controls. That should now be fixed! |
| A bunch of new fixes - Patch 1.0.2.12353 | 2020-02-28 | We're keeping busy working on more and more fixes, stability improvements and other changes inspired by your feedback and today we proudly present: fixed a crash that could happen when trying to start the game fixed a crash at the end of chapter 4 fixed some menu crashes fixed bug that would change the resolution after applying certain video settings fixed some issues with the "Customize Controls" screen fixed bug that allowed falling through the floor as an armadillo improved LODs (and with that the look on lower end hardware) on some objects fixed some smaller issues with animal AI systems (especially some issues with swarms of birds and fi |
| First patch of the year - Patch 1.0.1.12244 | 2020-01-23 | The new year is well underway and of course we've been busy over the last weeks and have a brand new, shiny patch for you! Here's what changed: you can now customize the controls! Since this is a new feature and naturally there are a lot of combinations of keys you can set, there might still be some issues when using special keys. If you find anything like that, please reach out! :) fixed a crash that some of you reported in connection with video drivers fixed the (hopefully) last issues with the achievement system! Some of you reported not being able to unlock the very last achievement. This should now be fixed! It should automatically trigg |
| Feeling Christmassy! | 2019-12-19 | Hey lovely Lost Emberians! We have a special patch for you! We fixed various minor bugs, some hiccups with credits and Fallen Heroes names and the long awaited memory / achievement bug, but since we also felt a little festive while doing so, we slammed in some hats and ornaments as well. And, it's snowing wherever you go :D So if you also feel christmassy, go to Extras - Special and switch on the Christmas Mode! The event is on from right now to January 6th. Don't miss it! Hope you enjoy our silly little Christmas mode! |

Cheers, Your moonies :) |
| Collisions and Cameras - Patch 1.0.0.12033 | 2019-11-26 | And another small update that fixes some of the most commonly reported bugs! when switching out of another animal, the collision checks are way better to avoid getting stuck or become the wolf where it shouldn't be allowed improved camera clipping issues, especially with the goat fixed a bug that caused memories to be counted as triggered when they weren't fixed a UI bug that showed a higher number of collected mushrooms than there actually are I hope these fixes improve the game for those of you who encountered these issues before! And again: please continue sending us your feedback, it is highly appreciated and helps us dramatically! Cheers |
| A couple of fixes | 2019-11-24 | Thank you very much for your feedback so far! We've been looking into all the issues you reported and managed to fix a bunch of it over the weekend. What changed so far: seemingly random crashes at various points in the game some collision and clipping issues that could cause you to be stuck somewhere the wolf not being able to move after certain actions some cut off voices some localization issues various other smaller fixes and changes We're still looking into other issues we saw like crashes when starting up the game (if you experience that, try updating your graphics drivers, it seems like it helped some) or other corners you can get stuc |
