Windrose Announces New Support Platform & Upcoming Patch Update
In their community update, Kraken Express announced a new website where players can submit tickets for support, bug reports, and feature suggestions.
The Windrose Support site is currently in beta, but once it gets streamlined, players will be able to troubleshoot any issues, report bugs, and provide ideas for Windrose. Currently, the site is localized in English only, but it will expand as the platform is put into use.

Previously, players used Discord to submit any tickets to the Windrose devs. However, they plan to gradually overlap the functions with the new platform to make the process easier for everyone.
The post also included a notice of an upcoming update. Though no date was given for when the update will roll out, they hope to launch it this week.
The update will address and provide:
- Connectivity issues
- CPU usage on idle clients and servers;
- Disk usage during gameplay (to reduce the load on SSD specifically);
- Performance and stability improvements;
- Over 40 new building pieces to fill some gaps and inconsistencies.
- Over 50 fixes and QoL changes
There are also plans to address Steam Cloud save problems and change the current save backup system to something more robust.
Windrose to Add New Biome
Currently, there are three playable biomes in Windrose: Coastal Jungle, Foothills, and Cursed Swamps. However, the team at Kraken Express has announced they are working on their next biome: Ashlands.
After they've addressed the fixes above, they will shift focus to their next big content update, which will include the new biome. Besides the new biome, they plan to further enrich the current gameplay system.
