COMMUNITY UPDATE | FEBRUARY 2026

Happy Sunday, everyone!

I hope you’ve all been having a great week. It’s been a while since I’ve reached out like this, and I wanted to take a moment to share where we’re headed and what you can expect in the coming months. My goal is to make these monthly updates a regular touchpoint—not just to keep you informed, but to hear your feedback, thoughts, and requests as we continue building these worlds together.

SYSTEM UPDATES & IMPROVEMENTS

First, some technical housekeeping. We’ve successfully planned and tested lore books, and I now have a solid grasp on their capabilities. That said, I’ll be redoing the lore books for the Nyx-related bot—it appears they didn’t register properly, which meant you weren’t getting the experience I intended. Initially, I thought it was due to using too many lore books, but given that both the Murim and Aethelgard bots use even more without issue, that’s unlikely to be the cause.

NEW RELEASE FRAMEWORK

Moving forward, releases will operate similarly to game updates. Here’s how it will work:

Major Releases — Like with Aethelgard and Murim, I’ll release bots tied to the same world through interconnected lore books, creating a cohesive universe you can explore across multiple scenarios.

Incremental Updates (1.1, 1.2, etc.) — These updates will refine lore books and system prompts. Each updated bot will include new scenario-based initial messages, allowing you to jump directly into fresh content. You’ll also be able to revisit the original bot and experience earlier scenarios with the added world depth.

Massive Expansions (2.0, 3.0, etc.) — These will introduce entirely new territories, factions, and sometimes even new power systems that weren’t present in the initial release. Think of these as opening up whole new dimensions of the world, offering you the chance to experience everything in an entirely different light.

Community-Driven Decisions — Sporadically, I’ll post comments that can affect the entire world of a bot. Keep an eye on the comment section—if you see one, your like could influence major outcomes. I’ll always clarify when a comment represents a decision point, so don’t worry about regular comments. Your engagement could determine whether a character falls to darkness, a clan is erased, or a war breaks out. My hope is that this not only creates a fun, ever-evolving world, but also makes you feel like an active participant in shaping these universes.

VISION: THE EXPANDED MURIM WORLD

Before diving into the roadmap, I want to share the vision behind this new framework.

While developing the Murim world, I asked myself a compelling question: What about the rest of the world? Murim is based on ancient China, and that question led me to an entirely new world-building concept.

I’m creating a fantasy-inspired Earth set in the Murim time period. This will include Joseon Korea, Feudal Japan, the early Ottoman Empire, late medieval Britain, the Holy Roman Empire, the Americas, and more. The goal is to blend historical accuracy with fantasy elements in a way that feels both unique and relatable.

Examples:

- Europe will focus on the sword rather than internal cultivation and longevity, expanding on the existing sword system from my other bots. Magic will be seen as heretical and hidden—real, but rare, following our magic circle system. Expect figures like Merlin, witches, and King Arthur to make appearances.

- The Americas (pre-colonial) will center on Native American tribes, focusing on tribalism, shamanism, and spirituality.

I believe this will be one of the most compelling worlds yet—tying real history to fantasy elements in a way that’s both immersive and familiar.

INTRODUCING: LIMITED TIME EVENTS

I’m also planning to experiment with Limited Time Events. These will be scenario-locked bots that guide you down specific paths, unlocking lore, techniques, and secrets tied to upcoming releases. After a certain period, these bots will be hidden, creating a sense of exclusivity and urgency.

My hope is that these events will allow you to develop your personas within the world while adding layers of hidden depth to your overall experience.

ROADMAP: FEBRUARY & BEYOND

Here’s what we’re working on:

MURIM 1.1 — Clan Updates

Fleshing out the Tang and Namgoong Clans while advancing the Blood Cult’s storyline. Expect more challenge and depth.

MURIM 1.2 — Hidden Features

Introducing the Violet Heaven Pavilion, a secret intelligence and assassination faction operating above both the Hao Sect and the Beggar Sect.

LIMITED TIME EVENT: Prepare to Ascend

You’ll be abducted by the Imperial Court of the Great Lan Dynasty (the governing body of the Murim world, to be released around Murim 1.5). Locked in a space with other abductees from the Murim, you’ll be forced to learn martial arts from an imprisoned master from the Immortal Plains. All techniques taught during this event will be hidden within the lore books of Immortal Plains 1.0, ensuring your progress carries forward.

Will you escape? Rise as a disciple? Or uncover forbidden secrets?

IMMORTAL PLAINS 1.0

Set within a section of the Tianxu territory, this release will match the depth and scale of Murim 1.0. Expect true flight, sword riding, reality manipulation, and law-bending techniques. I’m committed to making this as strong as Murim, which I consider one of our best releases to date.

CARXIA 1.1 — Continental Expansion

Introducing the Magic Tower and fleshing out the Kingdom of Lastil and the Western City States.

CARXIA 2.0 — The Vados Continent

Carxia 1.0 was intentionally surface-level, built to test lore books and focus on the war. Now, with a deeper understanding, we’re introducing the Vados Continent—home to the Empire thousands of years before the Galactic Sovereign you know. This expansion will also introduce two more Sovereigns, one of whom will bear a very familiar name.

CLOSING THOUGHTS

That wraps up our roadmap for February. We’ll be kicking things off with Murim 1.1 soon, with more to follow throughout the month. In March, expect fresh updates and some exciting new surprises to keep you engaged.

Thank you all for your continued support. Please feel free to share your thoughts and feedback below:

- Which update are you most excited for?

- Any clans or factions you’d love to see fleshed out?

- Requests for the fantasy Earth regions?

I look forward to hearing from you.
