Wuxia Logs – A Text-Based Wuxia Game

Update Log — Combat Flow & UI Polish

• Refined the core logic for battle flow. Combat actions and round transitions should now feel significantly 'snappier' and more fluid, with less delay.
• Implemented new Skill Filters in the Battle UI. You can now toggle between 'All', 'Standard', 'Reaction', and 'Finisher' skills, making it much easier to plan your martial arts.

Update Log — New Features & Foundations

• New Skills: Added 2 new skills, which can be learned at the Village Training Ground.
• Journey Logs: Added a new "Journey Logs" section to the Character page. This will be used for future summaries.
• Crafting Foundation: Added the first version of the crafting window, starting the foundation for the new crafting system.
• Performance: Events in places (like inns and shops) should now respond much faster.

A Note

Thank you for all the feedback. To make this easier for everyone, I plan to add an in-game feedback form in a future patch.

My main focus now shifts to the next major update, which will introduce 2 new zones and the first two Sects! Thank you for trying the game, and I hope you have a nice day.

Update Log — New Events & A Major Milestone

• New Event: Added a new conversation line with the Support Novice, which can be unlocked after gaining relationship points from sparring.
• New Passive Skills: "Basic Herbalism" and "Wilderness Sense" can now be learned from NPCs in the village. These will unlock new choices and opportunities during events.
• New Setting: You can now adjust the text speed in the game's settings panel.
• Bug Fix: Fixed a bug where the Bedroll item was incorrectly making you rest slower than normal.

A Note

I'm thrilled to announce that the basic Sect system is complete and now in testing locally! This is a huge milestone. It means the core, foundational framework of the game is finally in place.

With all the basic systems built (there will be more features), the real journey can now begin: polishing the world, expanding the story, and truly infusing this game with the heart of Wuxia. I can't wait to share what's next.

Update Log — Additional Reputation System & Combat QOL

• Battle QOL: Improved the skill selection UI during combat.
• Battle QOL: Added a new "Auto-Pass Reaction" toggle to speed up combat flow.
• New Feature: Reputation is now visible on your Character page.
• System Foundation: Training Grounds and Shops can now have reputation requirements.

A Note

This patch adds some key quality-of-life features to combat and lays additional foundation for the Reputation system.

This is a critical building block for the upcoming Sects, as your standing with a faction will soon unlock exclusive skills and items.

Update Log — New Skill & System Reworks

• New Skill: "Looking for Someone" - You can now actively search for specific NPCs in your current location (like the Inn Attendant). This is a foundational system that will be used for many future encounters.
• Battle System Rework - The entire battle system has been redesigned on the backend. This makes combat much more stable and reliable, paving the way for future expansions.
• New Player Onboarding - Added several new starter events to help guide new players and explain how the world works.

A Note

This was another major foundational update. These new systems (like "Looking for Someone" and the battle rework) are the pillars that future content will be built on.

My focus is now shifting to the minor fixes and polish needed to finally unlock the new zones. I'm pouring a lot of my time into this update, and like cultivating a strong martial foundation, it cannot be rushed. These big changes are bringing us much closer to the next chapter. Thank you for your support!

Update Log — Bug Fixes & System Reworks

• Bug Fix: The bug in the Deep Forest zone has been resolved. My apologies to all who were stuck.
• Dialogue Overhaul: Conversations and events now have a much better flow, feeling more natural and immersive.
• General Stability: Dozens of smaller bugs were fixed while developing the new content.

A Note

My focus has been on building the new zones. To ensure they are rich with content from day one, I am developing the new sect, skill, and item systems at the same time. This approach will make sure the new areas launch with meaningful content, not just as empty maps.

The final pieces, such as sect task boards and more immersive NPCs, are now the main focus. Thank you for your patience and for your invaluable help during this alpha test.

Update Log — Places Integration

The insides of places are now integrated directly into the exploration page.
This makes the experience faster and reduces bugs caused by page switching.

With this update, places can now handle NPC triggers inside them.
This opens the door to immersive features in future patches:

• An inn waiter greeting the player when entering
• Special ambush events while resting in inns
• Text notices of other unknown martial heroes passing by in the same zone

This change is a foundation for many upcoming features and expands the possibilities for richer Wuxia adventures.

Update Log

• Event system refactor: A complete restructuring of how events are stored and triggered. This lays the groundwork for more flexible dialogues, branching logic, and scalable translation support.
• New zones under construction: The world is expanding beyond the starting areas. These zones will bring tougher enemies, fresh encounters, and unique rewards once the foundation is ready (including the first starter sects).
• Performance improvements (WIP): Ongoing work to optimize the backend for exploration and battles. Once complete, this will make the Jianghu smoother to traverse even as more content is added.

A Note

Sometimes the most important updates are invisible. While there isn’t much new story this week, the underlying changes are what make future content possible.
