You do the inventory. You are not the chosen one. You are not the brave warrior. You are the rookie left behind to deal with the mess after the heroes are done being heroic. Welcome to the Guild Stockroom. Pick up scattered books, sort them onto shelves, earn Ink, upgrade books into higher tiers, and keep the shelves stocked before the heroes come back to claim what they need. They will not ask. They will not apologize. Every few minutes, heroes claim the books they need from the shelves. Claimed books earn Favor based on their tier, and replacement books are dumped back onto the floor for you to sort again. Keep the stockroom running. Keep the shelves full. Try to be useful. That is all, rookie. — The High Guild of Heroes ## Updates ### Bookling Drone Update Jun 30, 2026 Added the Bookling Drone, a new Favor-powered helper that picks up returned T1 books from the floor and shelves them for you. **Added** - Added the Bookling Drone, a new Favor-powered helper that picks up returned T1 books from the floor and shelves them for you. - Added the Bookling Dock, where the drone parks, cools down, and receives upgrades. - Added Recovery, Cooldown, and Active Time upgrades for the Bookling Drone. - Added save/load support for the drone unlock state, upgrades, timers, and position. **Improved** - Improved Hero Claim cleanup by allowing returned T1 books to be handled passively after unlocking the drone. - Improved Favor progression by adding a new practical use for Favor. - Added visual feedback for the drone and dock, including outlines, rotor states, carry placement, cooldown behavior, and halo ring animation. **Known issues** - Bookling upgrade costs and pacing may continue to be tuned based on playtesting. ### Lackey Satchel Update Jun 27, 2026 Added the Lackey Satchel system with a 5-tier book hotbar and carrying limits. **Added** - Added the Lackey Satchel system with a 5-tier book hotbar and carrying limits. - Added manual book placement mode: pick up books into the satchel first, then select a tier to place books on shelves. - Added Lackey Outfitter with Ink upgrades for satchel capacity and movement speed. - Added Lackey Binder for batch book upgrades with timed crafting and manual claiming. **Improved** - Improved book pickup and shelf placement flow to make organizing shelves easier. - Improved the hotbar, Lackey Outfitter, Lackey Binder, and Ledger UI. - Improved save/load support for new satchel, upgrade, and binder progress. **Fixed** - Fixed missing UI icons in the published version. - Fixed hotbar visibility while the Ledger is open. - Fixed several interaction issues around placement previews, outlines, and upgrade claiming. **Removed** - Removed the old single-book upgrade table flow in favor of the new Lackey Binder system. **Known issues** - We are still tuning upgrade costs, pacing, and UI polish based on player feedback. ### Save Recovery Hotfix Jun 23, 2026 Improved save recovery after unexpected shutdowns or crashes. **Improved** - Improved save recovery after unexpected shutdowns or crashes. - Added a backup save path so progress can be recovered if the main save cannot be loaded. **Fixed** - Fixed an issue where progress could be lost if the game closed while saving. - Fixed the Ledger's "Ink Earned" session stat showing current ink instead of total ink earned. **Known issues** - We are reviewing early feedback around movement, pickup targeting, and the initial sorting workload. ## More by hgw | Package | Ident | Players | Favorites | Upvotes | Score | Markdown | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Veiled Masters | hgw.veiledmasters | 0 | 6 | 4 | 13% | https://sbox.watch/games/hgw/veiledmasters/index.md |
