February 2024 | Database Rollback
On 02-14-2024 our forum database was rolled back to a 2020 backup due to news that the new host we migrated to in 2021 experienced a breach within their management portal.
There is no evidence anything on this server was compromised, but for the safety of our members, we decided to completely rebuild the server from the ground up using an older backup in order to ensure nothing malicious was injected into the database. This was a lot more work than most would imagine.
We apologize for any posts our members may have lost, but we believe this was the correct decision.

August 2025 | Expanding The Community
We are in the final stages of finishing a small demo of the game we have been working on internally. Before doing so, we are working on making sure we have the infrastructure in place to support our community when we open this project for collaborative development.
This involves migrating from our Mercurial repositories that run on Kallithea to the newer and more feature filled Forgejo. This move will allow us to take advantage of Git File Locking, which is likely to be a requirement for a larger team while working with binary files.
When we started developing Cardinal Menu, Git LFS was new and most open source repositories consumed a very large amount of memory when working with large binary files. We didn't want to pay for a VPS that had both a large storage capacity and a large amount of system memory. They can be expensive.
There's still a lot of things to set up. And everything takes far longer than it would seem. But we are shooting for a late 2025 release.
We hope to see you on the road ahead.

October 2025 | The Steam Release of Cardinal Fall's Introductory Level
Our first early preview of Cardinal Fall was released on Steam just in time for Halloween.
The is an early release that only includes the introductory level. Networking and co-op is implemented, but the introductory level doesn't include any major co-op gameplay outside of finding each other using coordination and having the correct items. If you are looking for a co-op game to play with friends, check back for our future releases. Until then, we recommend you play solo.
If you'd like to help out, you can donate, buy the Donation DLC, or contribute as a developer.
Thanks! We hope you enjoy it.
