RWBY: Grimm Eclipse news & patch notes

Hey Huntresses and Huntsmen! The end of 2018 was a wild ride; we launched Bendy and the Ink Machine to console, hit some major game development milestones on our unannounced project, and have been laying the ground work for a whole slough of new community projects and focused content (our new Community Discord, Community Beta site, weekly streams, weekly community game nights, Office Hours, watch parties, etc!) Interested in joining the new Discord? Jump into the conversation HERE at the Official RT Games Discord: https://discord.gg/kf2BfjX As for the new RWBY: Grimm Eclipse update, we ran into a few snags with compatability issues between the older version of Unity that was used to create the game and the version used in the outset to create the new DLC (which caused some bugs, ie the dark screen that was patched when the Unity version was rolled back.) This created a few additional complications with our port and a lot of work for our dev team and third party partners on top of trying to balance this against our other projects. We are happy to tell you the new content should be available to consoles this upcoming month! Once we flip the switch on PS4 and Xbox One, we will also be rolling out the new game mode on all three platforms! It's been a wild ride and lots of learning, juggling priorities and growth for our team. We are SO excited to FINALLY put this in your hands and are very grateful to everyone who has shown as so much patience, understanding, and support. Please watch Twitter and the Community Discord for the fastest way to receive updates and news! We hope the new year treats you well and is filled with wonderful games and gaming experiences. Thanks again, and we'll see you back on Remnant in no time!!!

Hello fellow Huntresses and Hunters! The new hot fix is out now. This patch fixes the issue on Windows where some monitors have darkened graphics when playing in fullscreen mode. Thank you for your patience, and please report any new issues in the Bugs/Reporting thread. Thank you and happy hunting! Cricket

Hello fellow Huntresses and Huntsmen! Gather around the campfire friends; we’re bringing the bacon back to Beacon and have got some exciting specifics to share about the new RWBY: Grimm Eclipse update and DLC! First, we want to thank you for waiting on these updates so patiently. To know people want to see and experience more RWBY: Grimm Eclipse content is incredibly exciting for us. Nothing feels better than being able to control your favorite characters and see them come to life by the power of your own fingertips, and taking on hordes of Grimm in beautifully animated combat sequences is the closest thing to being in the world of Remnant yourself. Speaking of Remnant, we’re opening up two more maps and opportunities to further explore the world of RWBY! We’re introducing Dr. Merlot’s Island and Dr. Merlot’s Laboratory as your new battlefield and proving grounds. Explore Beacon Academy’s titular adversary’s home base and take Grimm to task with your friends. This update is FREE to all players who own RWBY: Grimm Eclipse! If you were lucky enough to attend RTX or RTX London, you’ve probably seen the next new piece of DLC content we’re rolling out: new character cosmetic packs! Take your favorite member of team RWBY or JNPR out of bed for a midnight snack and slay some Grimm along the way in your nighties. We’re introducing the Pajama Party Pack for $1.99 for each team! If you’re looking for something a little more battle-ready, then why don’t you check out team RWBY and team JNR’s Timeskip Costume Packs, $1.99 and $1.50 respectively (Pyrrha: rest in peace.) Jump ahead after season 3, and take some fresh new threads with you. Enjoy 50% off RWBY: Grimm Eclipse and our Halloween Sale on Steam from October 18 - October 31! What a great way to introduce new friends to RWBY: Grimm Eclipse while you show off your new cosmetics. This exciting new DLC is ready for you October 18, 2018 on Steam and on console late 2018. We’ll have even more new content ready then, so stay tuned! Happy hunting, and we’ll see you in Remnant! Don’t forget to catch the premiere of RWBY, season 6 with us October 27 on www.RoosterTeeth.com!

Hellooo team, It's been far too long, fellow hunters. A lot has changed around Rooster Teeth Games since last we spoke. Our development team has more than doubled, we have a publishing branch (Bendy and the Ink Machine), and, more specific to this post, we brought on a focused community manager! I’ve been given the opportunity to move over to lead the charge on all of our board game efforts (Million Dollars, But..., Achievement Hunter HEIST). Your ol’ pal Skilltacular will still be around, lurking in the forums occasionally dropping hints about the unfound easter egg. I’ve truly enjoyed chatting with you all off and on for the past 3+ years. It’s been a good ride so far and it’s only getting better! Please join me in welcoming our new teammate and the new voice of RTG, Cricket! Hello Rooster Teeth Community! My name is Cricket, and I’m the new RTGames Community Manager. I’m so thrilled to be joining the amazing community management team and, most importantly, getting a chance to serve you. I remember seven years ago sitting at home in Alaska at -52 degrees fahrenheit listening to the RT Podcast and deciding on the fly to move to Austin. Never could I imagine that a year and a half later I would find myself in Austin- working toward my dream of working at Rooster Teeth. And today here I am. First, I’d like to let you know a little bit about myself. Growing up as an Army Brat, I spent a lot of time traveling growing up and living in the European Union and United States. Eventually, my parents settled in Alaska, which is where I spent most of my teenage and young adult years. Like many people who grew up in northern climates, I love playing winter sports and winter activities: ice hockey, skiing, snowmachining, snowshoeing, and geocaching. I love live music, film, and most importantly- I love gaming. Gaming communities really have been my home for as long as I can remember. No matter how many times I have had to pick up and start a new life in a new city or country, the memories I have created and friendships forged in online communities has been the single most important constant in my life. Gaming has helped me transcend language barriers and make friends in unlikely situations, like the time I spent playing Final Fantasy VIII with Italian-only speaking kids at a dinner party- and the time I met one of my best friends on Reddit while looking for a roommates to live with here in town. Gaming has also spared me from spending many cold winter days and nights alone. No matter where I go, my love of games has given me a sense of belonging and community. Before coming on board here with Rooster Teeth, I spent several years working in games and social media community spaces with over 35 independent contracts on the books, managing everything from communities to events and digital marketing for indie, VR/AR, and AAA games. I’ve worked with special interest groups to promote diversity and workforce development in games and participated in dozens of online gaming communities ranging from flourishing MMOs to obscure indie puzzle games. I’ve built and managed social platforms for hundreds of small businesses across the Americas. Now I have a chance to work with some of the best community leaders in online and gaming spaces, and I can’t even begin to tell you what a privilege that is. My commitment to you is to champion the community voice and help lift up your ideas, perspectives, and aspirations. I’ll do my part to promote a space that is inclusive, welcoming, respectful, and fun. I’m so excited to get to know all of you more, and I hope you’ll join me for community game nights (in person and online), to learn about our future gaming projects as they grow, and most importantly: to share our mutual love of gaming in all of its wonderful forms! Hit me with your personal pronouns, meme dreams, and headshots. Hit me with your shared love of Rooster Teeth and gaming. Hit me up when your questions, ideas, and personal stories about how gaming has impacted your life. RTGames has a lot of work ahead of us, and I’m excited to bring you with us on the ride. Let’s do cool shit together, Cricket There ya have it! Word on the street is Cricket will have news of the upcoming RWBY content in her next post. We’ll see ya around the interwebs! Rooster Teeth Games

Hello Team

It’s been a little while since our last update, but it’s great to see so many folks still active in the forums and itching for news. This is a short update, but it’s an important day for RWBY:GE, so we wanted to pop in and say hello.

July 5th 2016: Never Forget

Today marks the 1 year anniversary of the release of RWBY: Grimm Eclipse. To celebrate the anniversary and to say thank you to our amazing community, we have a small announcement - we’ll be releasing Steam Trading Cards, Backgrounds, and Emoticons! These have been requested many times before and many times we said “we’d love to...someday.” Well, check your calendars, because ‘someday’ is soon! Actually, “soon” is when they get approved by Steam (so, legit soon).

Jordan Scott’s Arbiter

Kickstarter Link As many of you know, Grimm Eclipse was born from a fan project of the same name by the extremely talented Jordan Scott. Since his time with Rooster Teeth, Jordan has been busy on a project of his own, Arbiter. Jordan’s new game is currently live on Kickstarter. Swing by the campaign to support and share his awesome new project. He’ll even be demoing at RTX in Booth 646!

RTX Austin 2017

Schedule Link If you’re coming to RTX this weekend, be sure to say hello. We all love this time of year when we get to meet the fine folks on the other side of our PC monitors (you). This year, some of the members of RT Games are hosting panels.

• Friday: Jeff’s “Gaming Year in Review”: Game developers and game players have a friendly (maybe) debate about some of the biggest gaming news of the past year. 5:00PM @ ACC-MR6
• Saturday: Brian’s “What to Expect When You’re Expecting (to graduate)”: A panel of creatives talk about going to school, getting their foot in the door, and drop a little advice for the next gen of game/ art/ film makers. 10:00AM @ ACC-MR6
• Sunday: Casey’s “How to Start a Game Company”: Come listen to several folks who have been there and done that when it comes to starting their own companies. 3:30PM @ ACC-MR6

Happy hunting, team! Rooster Teeth Games

Red Hot Retro Hotness

I’m sure many of you remember the good old days of the original Gameboy. That grey brick of wonder. Those tones of green. The tinny bleep bloop soundtracks. Ah, those were the days. Rooster Teeth Games is excited to present Super Rad Raygun! http://s3.amazonaws.com/cdn.roosterteeth.com/uploads/images/24dd4b96-2ac6-4ad8-84db-af932d534bf3/original/2003785-1478635677828-Copy_of_SuperRadLogo_HighRes.png Check out their Steam page here! Super Rad Raygun is the story of a robot named Rad who finds himself in the middle of the American-Russian Cold War conflict in the year 198x. The game, in ultra sharp 144p resolution graphics and 4 unique shades of monochrome off-green, takes a tongue-in-cheek look back to the pop culture and politics of that era as Rad follows the orders of President Ronald Reagan and slowly learns that politics are a little more complicated than they seem. Super Rad Raygun is a follow-up to the Xbox Live Indie Game, Rad Raygun. Rad Raygun must save the 1980s from communist robots! While the original Rad Raygun had only five levels and limited upgrades, Super Rad Raygun includes over twenty levels, a new upgrade system, and a limited-energy mechanic. Saving the ‘80s from communist robots sounds like it will require a helidrop into the jungle! http://s3.amazonaws.com/cdn.roosterteeth.com/uploads/images/5f974656-ed34-413e-b37e-477746052dde/original/2003785-1478635677829-ss_f3adc80e46fa7c02e90e9693aa1b2adbe055b66b.1920x1080.jpg http://s3.amazonaws.com/cdn.roosterteeth.com/uploads/images/96135870-23af-444e-9b18-882b79cecaab/original/2003785-1478635677830-superradraygun05.png Check! Heck, we might need to take this underground! http://s3.amazonaws.com/cdn.roosterteeth.com/uploads/images/e557a7e4-2abb-4cd2-839e-dd9bb5443250/original/2003785-1478635677829-SuperRadRaygun_SS01.png Double check! What about battles in space? http://s3.amazonaws.com/cdn.roosterteeth.com/uploads/images/2e91edc3-269b-4840-bb94-1a4512d2c84e/original/2003785-1478635677829-superradraygun02.png Duh! Like a game set in in the year 198X wasn’t going to have space battles. Super Rad Raygun is from our friends a Tru Fun Entertainment. Being brought to us by a passionate team of two, this labor of love makes countless nods to that colorful themes of the 1980s. From video games, to music, to pop culture, Super Rad Raygun will hit you hard in the nostalgia bone. Even the cover art is an homage to one of the game’s old school gaming inspirations. http://s3.amazonaws.com/cdn.roosterteeth.com/uploads/images/c73948bb-a8b2-410e-b42f-c81a9c35efa1/original/2003785-1478635677829-SuperRadRaygun_BoxArt.png Super Rad Raygun is the first game to launch under the Rooster Teeth Games publishing banner. There will be more in the future, but for now, check out and support this great retro platformer! Game on!

Rooster Teeth Extra Life

While this was not a RWBY related post, we’re proud of the Tru Fun crew and wanted to share our excitement with all of you. However, this Saturday at 8AM CST, Rooster Teeth will be kicking off their annual Extra Life event. Rooster Teeth Games has been waiting for this event to share a new bit of RWBY: Grimm Eclipse news. The RT Games crew should be on around noon (CST), but, if you’re familiar with how RT rolls with these events, that time slot could change. Check out the Rooster Teeth Extra Life page and join up. We will have signed RWBY:GE posters, signed JNPR scripts, and a one-of-a-kind, uncut sheet of Million Dollars But,...The Game cards (signed by the game and show teams). Also, it IS election day here in the United States. Aside from helping defeat communist robots, Rad Raygun would love it if you made it out to vote. http://s3.amazonaws.com/cdn.roosterteeth.com/uploads/images/1f3dffc4-884c-4d64-8246-395558800955/original/2003785-1478635677826-BG_BG3j.jpg Bleep Bloop, Rooster Teeth Games

Saving the ‘80s from communist robots sounds like it will require a helidrop into the jungle! http://s3.amazonaws.com/cdn.roosterteeth.com/uploads/images/5f974656-ed34-413e-b37e-477746052dde/original/2003785-1478635677829-ss_f3adc80e46fa7c02e90e9693aa1b2adbe055b66b.1920x1080.jpg http://s3.amazonaws.com/cdn.roosterteeth.com/uploads/images/96135870-23af-444e-9b18-882b79cecaab/original/2003785-1478635677830-superradraygun05.png Check!

Like a game set in in the year 198X wasn’t going to have space battles. Super Rad Raygun is from our friends a Tru Fun Entertainment. Being brought to us by a passionate team of two, this labor of love makes countless nods to that colorful themes of the 1980s. From video games, to music, to pop culture, Super Rad Raygun will hit you hard in the nostalgia bone. Even the cover art is an homage to one of the game’s old school gaming inspirations. http://s3.amazonaws.com/cdn.roosterteeth.com/uploads/images/c73948bb-a8b2-410e-b42f-c81a9c35efa1/original/2003785-1478635677829-SuperRadRaygun_BoxArt.png Super Rad Raygun is the first game to launch under the Rooster Teeth Games publishing banner. There will be more in the future, but for now, check out and support this great retro platformer! Game on!

Rooster Teeth Extra Life

While this was not a RWBY related post, we’re proud of the Tru Fun crew and wanted to share our excitement with all of you. However, this Saturday at 8AM CST, Rooster Teeth will be kicking off their annual Extra Life event. Rooster Teeth Games has been waiting for this event to share a new bit of RWBY: Grimm Eclipse news. The RT Games crew should be on around noon (CST), but, if you’re familiar with how RT rolls with these events, that time slot could change. Check out the Rooster Teeth Extra Life page and join up. We will have signed RWBY:GE posters, signed JNPR scripts, and a one-of-a-kind, uncut sheet of Million Dollars But,...The Game cards (signed by the game and show teams). Also, it IS election day here in the United States. Aside from helping defeat communist robots, Rad Raygun would love it if you made it out to vote. http://s3.amazonaws.com/cdn.roosterteeth.com/uploads/images/1f3dffc4-884c-4d64-8246-395558800955/original/2003785-1478635677826-BG_BG3j.jpg Bleep Bloop, Rooster Teeth Games

Patch Inbound

Whew! Since the launch of Horde and Team JNPR, you all have been busy. Too many Grimm have been slain to count! In the process of thinning out the horde’s numbers, several of you have brought new bugs to our attention. These bugs have been a type of Horde mode for us, but management gets upset when we bring turrets to work, so… This patch addresses the issues below.

• Changes to aura depleted and recharging SFX
• Networking optimizations
• Steam Cloud Save is no longer required to save your game's progress
• Fixed an issue where ranking up would report your new rank as incorrect
• The scoreboard no longer flashes briefly when returning to the lobby
• Players will now see a message when their host disconnects
• Fixed a bug where Pyrrha’s Tier 2 Team Attack upgrade did an incorrect amount of AOE damage (Time to update your spreadsheets)
• Fixed a bug with Ren's Tier 3 Team Attack that caused his ranged fire to miss enemies
• Ren can now continue attacking after dodging in the air
• Fixed a bug where Port's dialogue could be cut-off by a level transition in EF1-2
• Fixed an issue where Jaune would use Blake's VO for a team attack (Or did we just squash Jaune’s dreams of being a voice impersonator?)
• Plugged a collision hole in EF2
• Fixed collision issue in EF1 where players may get stuck on stalagmites
• Fixed host migration for Horde Mode so players no longer need to start over
• Players exiting a pregame lobby will now see a confirmation message

We’ll continue to keep our eyes on the forums as long as you continue to let us hear those beautiful voices of yours. Development continues as does bug squashing.

RWBY Volume 4!!

We're sure we don't need to remind any of you, but RWBY Volume 4 kicks off tomorrow (Oct 22) at 10AM (CST). We're all super excited. Miles and Kerry haven't ruined much of this volume for us, so we'll be watching, on the edge of our seats, right along side you all. Personally, I'm excited to see the dynamics of Team RNJR as they step off on their new adventure. Get signed up for FIRST so you can watch Volume 4 live with the rest of the world! In other news, we here at RT Games are huge fans of our friends at other development studios. The image below was born from excitement and made as an homage to the fine folks behind the upcoming Red Dead Redemption 2. Here’s a shot of the newly released Team JNPR (probably) on the dusty horizon of one of Remnant’s deserts. http://s3.amazonaws.com/cdn.roosterteeth.com/uploads/images/1388b414-18ef-4a77-b541-3845ce1d544a/original/2003785-1477078968214-JNPR-Redemption.jpg Until next time, partners.

Hold on to your butts!

Team JNPR, Horde Mode, localization, and Mac build will be available on Steam this Thursday, Oct 13, 2016! That’s maybe the most news-packed sentence we’ve ever had in an update. Yup, this is a big one. Now let’s jump into the juicy details...

New Playable Characters: Team JNPR

Since the launch of Grimm Eclipse, one of the loudest requests from our community has been to add Team JNPR. Jaune, Nora, Pyrrha, and Ren are now all suited up and combat ready. We wanted these four characters to play different from Team RWBY so we’ve made sure their styles and abilities felt fresh, while remaining true to the RWBY animated series. As you play through Campaign or Horde, your adventures will be fully voiced by the actual voice actors of the show! Rediscover who’s behind the events of Mountain Glenn as Jaune (Miles Luna). Take on groups of mutated Grimm as Nora (Samantha Ireland) and Pyrrha (Jen Brown) and hear Ren (Neath Oum) make a joke. Sorta... Kinda? RWBY: Grimm Eclipse has always allowed choosing your favorite character to play. If you want to play as a team full of Ruby, well… “Go team Ruby!” Now with the addition of JNPR, you and your friends will be able to mix and match as you please. Maybe get ready for the October 22nd release of Volume 4 by playing as Team RNJR? In general, each member of JNPR has a character skill tree similar to RWBY. Unlike RWBY, JNPR’s varies a bit from the standard Ultimate, Team Attack, and Ranged trees. Each new teammate has a unique spin on the old formula. More details below. http://s3.amazonaws.com/cdn.roosterteeth.com/uploads/images/6aac2790-5212-4e22-b0bc-5e8d85eed1e4/original/2003785-1476295699275-Jaune.jpg Jaune Arc As the team leader, we felt Jaune needed to be able to support his friends in battle. His Ultimate can grant his teammates a brief heal, speed boost, or damage boost. If you’re familiar with the animated series, Jaune hasn’t demonstrated a ranged ability. In Grimm Eclipse, rather than shooting a projectile, Jaune raises his shield and charges forward until he reaches a set distance, or better yet, bashes into an enemy. He also has a perk that lets him gain Ultimate energy if his teammates finish off team attacks that he sets up. Jaune’s upgradeable, heavy attack is designed with team attacks in mind too. Jaune’s a bit of a challenge to play single player, but in a multiplayer; your friends will love the boosts he grants his teammates. Horde Mode anyone? http://s3.amazonaws.com/cdn.roosterteeth.com/uploads/images/c701b74c-f240-4c93-91b0-d6bb50e86b35/original/2003785-1476295699286-Nora.jpg Nora Valkyrie The ever chatty Nora brings her electric personality to the battlefield in the form of upgradeable chain lightning attacks. Some of her attacks continue on to the next enemy in the form of electricity. Of course she has her giant hammer, but as it turns out, it’s also a gun. Nora has a grenade launcher that fires unlike any other character in the game. She can also upgrade her launcher to fire mines that explode when enemies step near them. When you’re ready to bring the electricity-infused hammer down on the Creatures of Grimm, Nora is always game to break some legs! Boop, indeed. http://s3.amazonaws.com/cdn.roosterteeth.com/uploads/images/fdce9b11-1d74-48c4-8e00-3a8da4b7918b/original/2003785-1476295699289-Pyrrha.jpg Pyrrha Nikos A well-trained huntress, Pyrrha is proficient on the battlefield in a variety of ways. Pyrrha is the only character that can upgrade her default combo. These additional attacks allow her to take out baddies at an alarming rate. Miss Nikos also has the ability to upgrade her counter -- sending her shield bouncing off and stunning several surrounding enemies, if one should dare attack. Extended combo strings, a hugely advantageous counter, and ranged attacks that pierce all enemies in its path are sure to help find the Grimm’s Achilles heel. http://s3.amazonaws.com/cdn.roosterteeth.com/uploads/images/941254c0-17be-4d98-a971-4a8ce6d773ff/original/2003785-1476295699292-Ren.jpg Lie Ren Similar to Jaune, Ren is also designed with team attacks in mind. His approach is a bit different than the others though. Ren can setup and (if his teammates are too busy) finish off his own team attacks. As another character with an upgradeable heavy attack, Ren can focus a portion of his aura into his attack to unleash a stunning area of effect. When ready, Ren’s Ultimate allows him to dart around from enemy to enemy dealing large amounts of damage. Usually reserved, Ren is packed with style and a quick approach to battle allowing him to cover ground quickly and drop enemies even faster. In summary - Team JNPR includes 4 new playable characters each with their own unique abilities and upgrades, plus they’re all voiced by the actual show actors. All of the above awesomeness can be yours for the low, low price of $4.99 (USD).

HORDE MODE

Horde Mode is a FREE update and a new challenge added to Grimm Eclipse. Gather your team and fight off waves of Grimm. As you defeat enemies, you’ll accrue a currency (lien) that allows you to purchase a variety of turret defenses. Use your team, turrets, and skills correctly and you may just survive the horde. Horde mode offers three brand new maps featuring familiar Beacon locations: Emerald Forest, Forever Fall, and Mountain Glenn. Horde Mode also comes with a new Grimm to slay: the Mini-Deathstalker. These little fellas might be small, but they are mighty! Horde Mode is a FREE update to all current owners. If you’d like a bit more info, we covered Horde Mode in greater detail previously HERE.

Hello Team!

We’re back again for a quick update on RWBY: Grimm Eclipse. The weather outside is cooling down, while the Horde Mode and JNPR packs are coming in hot. We sure do talk about the weather a lot in these opening paragraphs, huh? http://www.newyorkcomiccon.com/RNA/RNA_NewYorkComicCon_V2/2016/_img/nycc-logo-hi-res.png?v=635991057733771597

New York Comic Con

This update is meant to focus on Horde with a splash of JNPR, but if you’re at NYCC this year, we’ll have both on-hand to play! Come out to booth 756 and slay wave upon wave of baddies as Jaune, Nora, Pyrrha, Ren, or your old favs from team RWBY. While you’re there, check out the games we are publishing: Battlesloths and Super Rad Raygun. Lots of fun to be had in New York this weekend for Rooster Teeth fans!

Horde

Development of Horde mode is coming to a close. In fact, we are aiming to launch it next week! Thanks to all of you that kept the chatter lively in the Horde thread Abe created. There were several good points and ideas that influenced how Horde was developed. As it stands, we’ve been having a blast with Horde playtests.We cannot wait for you all to hop in, pick your favorite characters, and slay epic sh!t-tons of Grimm. In Horde mode, you will be in charge of ensuring the safety of several security stations. Wave after wave of enemies will try to destroy you, your friends, and the stations. This mode is designed for teamwork. Work with other players to plan your team makeup, skill trees, and which turrets are best to use. As the horde advances, more and more stations will require your attention. Sure, four players can handle one station, but how will you divide your resources when you need to cover four areas? As you defeat enemies, you'll accrue Lien, the currency of Remnant. You'll use Lien to make purchases from a variety of turrets. Your turrets will need replaced often if not protected. This mode will be a challenge, but many of you have been practicing for this, so go get’em. How about maps? There will be three Horde maps included in this update. Each map was designed for horde and set in a familiar location, but they are not maps found in the campaign. Forever Fall will require players to travel long distances between stations. Mountain Glenn demands that players cover more and more stations as the game progresses. For the Emerald Forest map, we wanted to do something a little different -- honestly, something special to honor the early days of the game’s development. Emerald Forest is a remastering of the RTX 2015 demo map. This was the first time we showed the game publically as a studio. Awhile back, we mentioned that Horde would include a new Creature of Grimm. You’ll have to wait to see how it fits into the ranks of other enemies. Until then here’s a glimpse of what we call the Mini-Deathstalker. http://s3.amazonaws.com/cdn.roosterteeth.com/uploads/images/9a8f5bbe-4b46-41ad-aab1-39b87b4abdf3/original/2003785-1475624199219-20161004172653_1.jpg *click* *click* *hsss* Achievements! Horde mode will also come with six new achievements for you to hunt. These are all tied to the various ways to play Horde. When the time comes, defend those stations and use turrets, alone or as a team.

Bonus

Since the early days of RWBY:GE’s development, we wanted to get an exclusive music track from Jeff Williams. He’s made so many amazing tracks for the core RWBY show that we Homer Simpson-style drooled at the prospect of having something made for Grimm Eclipse. Well, that time has come. When you download the new Horde update, you’ll notice new main menu instrumental piece music. When you watch the credits of the game, you be able to hear the fully voiced version in all its Merlot-tastic splendor. We’re excited for you to hear it! That’s it for now. Next time we’ll chat about all things JNPR! http://s3.amazonaws.com/cdn.roosterteeth.com/uploads/images/fd164b8d-b740-401c-95f4-d98779cfc665/original/2003785-1475625011526-rwby-ge_2016-10-04_18-36-30-29.png

The action-packed Battlesloths by Invisible Collective, a game that features 4 vs 4 Sloth on Sloth violence, as well a game by Tru Fun Entertainment called Super Rad Raygun, a retro platformer where you battle evil communist robots in a last ditch effort to save 1980s America.

We’ve been working on a Mac version for Steam (free for all current and future Steam owners). We’ve also been hard at work converting the game over to Playstation 4 and Xbox One! The console versions are looking absolutely amazing, but we have a busy holiday certification schedule to contend with. Fingers crossed we get through the certification process without any major setbacks. If all goes according to plan, you’ll be able to play Grimm Eclipse on your console this Holiday season. Woot! Woot! So that’s all the news we have for now. We hope everyone had an awesome summer and is ready for a kickass school year / work year / dropout year. Whatever you do to keep yourself busy; best of luck. You got this! High fives from the RT Games team.

Nora and Turrets! Need we say more?

Hello Team!

Welcome to August. Where our Texan thermostats are constantly in triple digits and our shoes melt to the parking lot. When we’re not downing water to stay hydrated, the team has been cranking away on Horde mode and the upcoming character pack for JNPR. Y’all want to see some of the progress? Let’s go!

Horde

As it stands, I believe we’ve only said Horde mode exists. We haven’t really divvied out too many details about the vision of this new mode, but know that gameplay will be inspired by the early RTX demos from the game’s past. While the horde design crew is still busy nailing down more handcrafted nuances, they wanted to show off something a little less subtle: TURRETS! This is an early look at an untextured asset. http://i.imgur.com/UhVEQf5.gif The Horde team has been chatting with the RWBY animation crew (Kerry & Miles) about a few mechanics to see if they fit in the RWBYverse. Two main features came out of that meeting, turrets and another thing so awesome and fun we’ll have to save it for a future news post. (That and we haven’t quite started on getting him...I mean it… into the game...) We’ll have more news about horde as we continue to playtest and tweak it in the coming weeks.

JNPR

It’s still early for team JNPR. We talked about which JNPR teammate to start work on first, the natural choice was Nora. This is an early look at Nora! In game! Taunting! Her anims, coloring, etc... are a work in progress. BOOP! http://i.imgur.com/QbbkOdw.gif

Tribute to Monty in Forever Fall

Separate from your Grimm slaying ways, you all have proven to be quite the group of hunters. I’m not talking about the number of Beowolves and Androids you’ve eliminated. I’m talking about easter eggs! We mentioned there was an easter egg way back with the Forever Fall update in May. Last night, the hunt came to a conclusion. Here’s a bit of backstory from the level’s designer, Andy Cortez. Hello fellow hunters and huntresses, After searching every encounter and scrutinizing every pixel, the Forever Fall "easter egg" has finally been discovered! While designing this level, I knew I wanted to add something special for Monty. Rather than calling it an "easter egg", I always saw it as more of a tribute. The first episode of Volume 3 inspired me to add his signature somewhere, so I decided to draw it in the terrain on the 3rd encounter. Honestly, I worried it wouldn't be found. It's difficult to get high enough to get a good view of it, but I should never doubt you all. -Andy Cortez (@MaximumCortez) http://s3.amazonaws.com/cdn.roosterteeth.com/uploads/images/7ce9d868-cc35-4e85-87b0-1fb6ac23d8d4/original/2003785-1470182227394-forevermonty.png After a bit of research, and not to say that this wasn’t a community effort, but it seems credit for this discovery goes to QuasiSnipr1048. Now that you’ve all found the Forever Fall tribute, take your egg hunting to the newest levels of Grimm Eclipse. Good luck, egg hunters! (Any Ready Player One fans out there?)

Hello Team!

The Rooster Teeth Games team has been spending their summer vacation roaming around the world of Remnant on a never-ending quest to bring you more goodness in RWBY: Grimm Eclipse. What do we have in store for you this time? Well, Patch #1 brings a lot of improvements to the game to address community feedback as well as several bug fixes affecting the game.

Bug Fixes

• Collision: Can no longer get stuck inside rock by the control center at the end of Chapter 1.
• Collision: Can no longer fall through a gap near the platform with the artifact in Chapter 2.
• Audio: Boarbatusk spin SFX no longer gets stuck in a loop.
• UI: Mouse cursor now hides during gameplay while using a gamepad.
• Networking: Fixed a bug where if you entered a multiplayer lobby and left, you would remain connected to the lobby.

Improvements

• Difficulty Setting: Added Single Player difficulty settings for Normal, Hard, Legendary, and Eclipse.
• Checkpoints: Additional checkpoints were added to every level so that you don’t have to repeat encounters that you already completed.
• UI: Can now go back to previous screens (all the way back to the Main Menu) from the Character Select screen.
• UI: Labels for Ultimate, Team Attack, and Ranged added to upgrade screen to make it more clear as to what the abilities are for.
• Gameplay: Made several gameplay changes to the boss battle in Chapter 10.
• Gameplay: Made Control Center defense more of a challenge.
• Cutscene: Polished the end cutscene

Other Topics

• Are your progress and stats not saving? We’re working on a fix for this, but until then please make sure to enable Steam’s cloud save feature. Do this:
• First, go to Steam’s Settings menu, select “Cloud”, and check the box for “Enable Steam Cloud synchronization.”
• Next, right-click on the game from the list in your Library, select Properties, go to the Updates tab, and check the box for “Enable Steam Cloud Synchronization for RWBY: Grimm Eclipse”
• Is the game crashing on you after the title screen? This is likely an issue related to AMD processors with integrated graphics cards, Intel integrated graphics cards, and on machines that do not meet the minimum requirements (for reference, our minimum requirements our listed at the bottom of the store page (http://store.steampowered.com/app/418340). You can try forcing the game to run in DirectX 9 as a workaround by configuring launch options in Steam. Do this by:
• Right-click on the game from the list in your Library
• Select Properties
• In the “General” tab, select SET LAUNCH OPTIONS
• In the text field, add -force-d3d9
• Hit OK
• Launch the game * Note - Performance when launching DirectX 9 will vary, and we are not officially supporting it. This is available simply as a workaround to those unable to launch the game.

Upcoming Updates

We have a lot more planned throughout the year that we’ll be adding to the game. We’re excited to share the details, however we’re still solidifying the schedule. We plan on announcing dates soon for Horde Mode, Team JNPR, as well as a Mac OS X version.

What do you think?

If you have question, let us know in the Steam forums, Reddit , or even directly to a team member on Twitter.

Hello Team!

With RWBY: Grimm Eclipse launched, the game is in the hands of more hunters than ever! With that, comes the discovery of new issues. This past week the team has been working to fix a few such issues: unscathed achievement, high score achievement, and Hunter Ranks. We tested the Hunter Rank issue in an opt-in branch, with some of your help - thanks! That branch has now been pushed to all players. If you have continued problems with your Hunter Ranks, let us know. We also noticed some bugs with a couple of our achievements, so we fixed those too. Moving forward, if you have any issues, head to the forums and sound off. Our team is continuing to fix bugs and support the game/ community. Bug Reporting Thread Happy hunting, Rooster Teeth Games
