Coming Soonrecent updates
Oct 26, 2026
UM Classic v1.1.35: the menus, spells, crafting and runebook now look and work like the original game, keys and key rings are here, quests pay their rewards, parties and guild wars work between players, and houses keep everything inside them.
→
Oct 17, 2026
UM Classic v1.1.28: furniture deeds for your house (beds, fountains, fireplaces and 22 new decorations), Malas restored with Luna and Umbra whole again, and moongates now let you pick your destination.
→
Oct 12, 2026
UM Classic v1.1.26: drag something out of your pack and you see exactly where it will land, so chests stack and things go on tables. Also new: tithing at shrines, furniture that faces the room, and co-owners for your house.

UM Classic v1.1.25 — nothing in the game ever lowered a ship’s plank, so once you stepped off your boat you could not get back on. Double tap it from the dock now. Also fixed: a Tower holds all three secure chests after a restart, chests stack, gypsy tents open up with a treasure chest inside, and players who join a game late see what is already there.

UM Classic v1.1.5 — a player could not smelt ore standing next to a forge, and he was right: the game kept two lists of what counts as a forge and smelting read the short one, which left out every large forge in every town smithy. Also fixed: bulk order deeds can now actually be filled and turned in, camping gives you a real campfire, and a dropped connection during the first download no longer loses the file it was on.

UM Classic v1.1.4 — a player asked whether the thumbstick could move for a left-handed grip. It moves anywhere now: hold the padlock beside it, drag it where you want it, hold again to set it down, and your quick slots and action button swap sides to follow. Also fixed: the Import button was covering New Character, and the first-run download stalled at 0 MB on networks that block the download host.

UM Classic v1.0.100 — a skill above 100 slid back to 100 on every load, and the save had been right the whole time. Also: a two-story house deed that built a boat, treasure maps that never worked, crafted chests that would not open, and creatures that disagreed between devices in multiplayer. The tutorial will let you put it down now.
→
Aug 5, 2026
UM Classic — all four platforms are live: Mac App Store approved, Google Play live, iOS out as a free public TestFlight beta, and Windows & Linux downloads now on a proper CDN. Vendors buy and sell properly again, and the tutorial arrows finally point at real places.

UM Classic — an honest one: Apple won’t allow the iOS App Store release (it resembles UO — and fairly so, it’s a love letter to it). We’re going the TestFlight route instead — public link soon. Android & desktop stay live and free.
→
Jun 19, 2026
UM Classic — quest boards are back at every bank, mounts & pets fixed, online worlds re-synced — and iOS and Android are both in for review. Desktop downloads updated now.
→
May 14, 2026
RunawayContext v3 — persistent context for AI coding agents that cuts token usage. A local SQLite knowledge base plus focused project briefs (≤3K tokens) so your AI starts every session already knowing the project — instead of re-learning it from a 2,000-line instructions file.

UM Classic — the “ship this week” didn’t happen: a unified-map bug let dungeon tiles leak into the oceans. Working on it — tester reports very welcome.
→
Apr 20, 2026
UM Classic — GPU work landed, big performance jump, multiplayer sync and NPC fixes across the board.
