Siege Survival: Gloria Victis Prologue news & patch notes

Greetings survivors! As we promised just a few weeks ago, we decided to make some improvements to the game based on your feedback. In your reviews and posts across our social channels, we found a lot of positive opinions about the game - but also a lot of requests to introduce more content, to keep the joy of playing the game for longer, in a unique setting - since so many of you wanted to play more! A new scenario, named the ‘Lost Caravan’ tells the story of a caravan crew - ambushed and besieged inside a caravanserai on a harsh southern desert. You will face new challenges, meet new characters and test your time and resource management skills in a new economy, customised for the new setting. Today's update also includes a new system for morning events - which we announced earlier - that is already included in a new scenario and will be implemented in the base scenario soon, because we wanted to reserve some more time to make it even better. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37186745/8a338de51d093e47b6fc86948a0f8e79e7f24927.png

New scenario - Lost caravan

The new story takes place two years after the end of the Siege of Edring. A group of survivors - attacked by the advancing enemy - is trapped inside an abandoned caravanserai and are making a last stand, facing not only the enemy attacks but also scorching weather and unexpected deadly danger, relentlessly rolling over the desert. Your task will be escaping the trap, in a limited amount of time, while holding the walls and preparing an escape route. The new scenario will be unlocked to everyone who reached or will reach the seventh day in the Siege of Edring scenario (you have to own the full game). It will ensure more hours of gameplay and will be a unique experience. We hope you will like it!

New mechanic - Overheat

The unforgiving southern sun is a threat in itself. Since - in the new scenario - you are managing your camp during the night when it is cooler, and scavenging during the day when the enemies are less active because of the heat; but you need to avoid staying outside too long, otherwise you will get sick from the heat. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37186745/ae9090eca14b0a1de599fbd386e0552bb3687212.png

New weather - Sandstorm

Every few days a sandstorm will hit the area which will have an impact on gameplay; while the biting dust - choking throats and lungs – will increase your chances of getting sick, it will also reduce visibility for both you and your enemies when scavenging. It is a risk to go outside since your orientation will be much less efficient. But taking such risk can be sometimes needed (or at least very profitable). {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37186745/9d0c2f28b99bb09ce7ac92cc832f2f150bbc695f.png

Community update #2 announced!

In two weeks from now, after gathering your feedback about the new scenario, we will prepare an update that will include balance changes, morning events to the Edring Siege, and some of the convenience improvements we are working on. We wanted to share the new scenario with you as soon as possible and we are already working on the challenges and New Game + mode for "Lost Caravan", which will also be introduced in the upcoming update. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37186745/f9032b814d414151c91b27afaef72fbb1dc6e871.png We are grateful for your support and cheering for us! Thank you for your patience and trust, and we hope you will have a lot of fun with the new story! / Siege Survival Team

The big day is finally here - Siege Survival: Gloria Victis is now available! The savage fleet landed on the nearby river shore, and merciless invaders pillage the city of Edring at this very moment, marking their way to the high castle with fire and blood. You are the last hope of the few civilians trapped behind cold, stone walls and a handful of brave defenders barricaded on their last stand in the castle Bastion. As a commander, will you be brave and wise enough to ensure your people's safety until the relief forces will come?

Survivors - to arms!

You can now fully immerse in the unique game experience of Siege Survival! Those of you who already tried the Prologue or Demo in the most recent days (after the update on May 13th) will be able to continue your gameplay in the full game. All players who played the Prologue or Demo earlier will need to start their journey again - but you will receive instant access to the Challenges and New Game Plus mode, which will allow you to adjust your gameplay to your preferences. Once again, we want to thank you all for your continued support throughout the development process. With your love, feedback, and cheering we were able to make Siege Survival even better. We are extremely happy and proud of the outcome. We can't stress our gratitude enough and we are hoping you will have a good time playing our game. Our team will also be monitoring all of our channels including game Steam Hub, all our Socials, and [email protected] email address to provide you with the best possible experience, collect your feedback, and any bug reports that may require prompt action. Thank you in advance for your commitment and help, and may your walls remain strong, the castle crew never starve, and Bastion defenders' swords stay sharp! Much love - Siege Survival Dev Team

Greetings, survivors! As we already know the exact date of the Siege Survival release, we cannot wait for the upcoming Tuesday, when you will be able to fully dive into the immersive experience we prepared for you and when you take control of besieged civilians on their last stand. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38218374/1efec03c0f508e6408536ee257394c31c1b131cf.png The upcoming days are the best time to get back to the Prologue and ensure a headstart that will allow you to continue your gameplay in the full version of the game. After today's update, the saves from the Prologue and Demo (both have the same content) will be fully compatible with the full game, so after release, you will be able to continue your journey without needing to start from square one. Pretty convenient, right? It is absolutely worth checking the Demo version of the game one more time, since we made ALOT of user experience improvements, introduced many new features, and reworked some of the old ones following your suggestions and feedback. You will be positively surprised how the game evolved and how much better it is now, thanks to you and our team efforts. We are very proud and thankful for your continuous support and cheering for us. As a small thanks and also as a little preview, we are happy to share with you a track from our stunning Siege Survival soundtrack, created by the world-famous duo Marcin Przybyłowicz and Magdalena Ubrańska. We hope this beautiful piece of music will sweeten the waiting through those few days that we need to wait until the release day. Till then, stay safe! FILM

Greetings, survivors! After thousands of hours of hard work of the entire team and taking extra time to address your feedback and suggestions, we are pleased to announce that we can share the release date of Siege Survival: Gloria Victis. We're on the very last straight, right now we are making the last polishing touches and focusing on the marketing of the game, to spread the word about the heroism of Edring people trapped behind the walls. They feel ready, we feel ready, the game is ready, and right now we should focus to ensure that everything will go smooth on the release. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37186745/fe63aa90181aa88df3817388a985fd174266ef04.png We know that a lot of you are waiting for some time, and we are very thankful for your cheering and patience. We can finally reveal, that the siege will begin on Tuesday, 18th of May. Less than three weeks from now! Be sure to check the updated demo of the game, which includes almost all the changes and improvements we prepared in the last months, and to add the game to your wishlist. To please you during the last days of waiting, we are encouraging you to join our Socials, Discord, and check the newest trailer and gameplay of the game. Stay safe!

Greetings, Survivors! We have great news for you! Today is a day when we can share with you the progress of the game development and show you how the game changed in recent months. We heard your feedback and we are thankful for your suggestions which helped us a lot to make Siege Survival even better! To put you in the proper mood, before telling you some more, let's watch our new "Siege of Edring" trailer first. We hope you'll like it!

Short Work In Progress Summary

The months between releasing the Prologue and today were very busy for us since we received tons of feedback worth addressing and continued our work on extending and upgrading existing systems. Among many things done, we reworked scavenge guards, to make the mechanics related to them more player-friendly. We remade the tutorial system to make them more informative and clear. Finished the work on the map system to make it better visually and more useful in-game. We created a set of tools that will help you plan your gameplay and get knowledge about the possible ways to survive, like showing lists of available buildings and recipes related to them. And we also introduced a time management system to give players the possibility to slow down or speed up the time in the castle.

Updated Prologue

On that occasion, we are giving you the updated Prologue version with all the improved features and changes to allow you to check them by yourselves. Since the core game code of the game has been changed due to the improvements and optimization, saves that were made before today's update will not work, you have to start a new game to experience the new build. We are aware that it may be small trouble but with such deep and extensive changes, it was absolutely justified to sacrifice compatibility between game versions. We hope this small inconvenience will be balanced with your refreshed game experience and you will be blown away by the progress we made!

Survive the siege with your favorite content creators!

To spread the word about the game in the world we decided to share an extended preview version of the game to media and content creators. You can check a special version of the gameplay today and in the following days by visiting some YouTubers and Streamers. The Preview version of the game is a week longer than the Prologue and has access to parts of the city, buildings, recipes, and characters not shown anywhere before! If after playing the new Prologue you have to know what is the next chapter of the story, be sure to look for videos and content on Youtube and Twitch! We also prepared our short narrated video showing some gameplay after day 7, so it would be great if you could leave some love for the game in the comments and a thumb up if you like the changes! And that would be all for now. We are continuing our work and preparing for the release. If you have any questions or suggestions, do not hesitate to drop them here in our Community Hub! Play the new Prologue, add the game to your Wishlist, follow Siege Survival on Facebook and Twitter, and continue being awesome! Much love and stay safe! Siege Survival Developers Team

Join us at the Steam Game Festival to play the new updated Demo version of Siege Survival: Gloria Victis! In the Demo, you’ll play through the beginning of the main story and see for yourself all the improvements and changes in the game, many as a result of your feedback and suggestions. You’ll find some significant user interface improvements and user experience changes if you want to compare our old Prologue! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37186745/72de3df08a2992d723779322571422fb2fc96206.png We extended the building mechanics, adding the ability to cancel building orders and dismantle standing buildings which allows you to retrieve some of the materials used in its construction. The guards’ AI is now more balanced, so you’ll find it easier to perform a sneak attack while holding a weapon and approaching from behind. However, they are now more efficient when searching and will now use arrows if they cannot catch up to your character. Scavenge features, including movement and fighting, became more intuitive and user friendly since we added some safeguards to ensure players will not get punished too much for making mistakes. But remember, patience is a virtue and the enemy guards are not your friends. The game economy has been rebalanced, with some changes to what items are and are not available, along with some amendments making some more suited to the vision and immersion in the game. We added an excellent map extension that will show you supplies available in each city district which will help you plan your scavenging routes more effectively before going out. We also reworked the night actions screen, allowing you to select which items you need on each mission more intuitively and making them easier to remember. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38218374/75dce15737e8e015243800f894bb260a5f0f133b.png Some of the changes we’ve made are in parts of the game beyond the Demo since many of the game mechanics and features are introduced later, but we hope you like what you see so far and we’re working hard to ensure the final release will be all we want it to be and more.

Be sure to add the game to your Steam Wishlist!

Hello, Survivors!

Today is a big milestone for us! We’ve partnered with Koch Media for our upcoming digital PC release of Siege Survival: Gloria Victis, which will be released under its Ravenscourt games label. Not only does this mean we’ll be able to reach more gamers across the world and grow our Community, but it also means we’ll have the resources to deliver a truly amazing game to you all! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38218374/2de567548c172e5ce93809a04b043c59d313b244.jpg As you know, work started on Siege Survival: Gloria Victis two years ago by an external team, with our full support and supervision. We’ve now successfully integrated the two teams and secured future development of both Siege Survival and our startup project, Gloria Victis MMORPG. We’re also delighted that Siege Survival: Gloria Victis is a key title in the Steam Game Festival: Spring Edition – which gets underway from 3 February at 18:00 GMT featuring our new fully playable and updated demo allowing players to experience the first days of the siege, taking you through the basic tutorials of gathering, crafting and scavenging as well as allowing you to explore part of the besieged city. We hope you’ll enjoy playing the demo as much as we’ve enjoyed making it.

This amazing journey wouldn’t be the same without your support – thank you! Black Eye Games

Greetings, Survivors! We wanted to give you the latest update on the development of Siege Survival: Gloria Victis. We’re pleased to say that everything seems to be going well and we’ve got some great news regarding the upcoming Steam Game Festival: Spring Edition: we’ll be there with an updated demo allowing you to play the opening prologue of the game. On top of that, our awesome soundtrack DLC is available for wishlisting too! From everyone here at the studio, we want to thank you for your patience and cheer; we couldn’t do this without you. We are still getting lots of constructive feedback from those of you who have already tried the Prologue, so please keep it coming as your help and opinions are invaluable. We’re working hard to make Siege Survival even better, so we are thankful for your understanding, regarding our decision to allocate some more time before release. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37186745/0c0a8daee062ae578c073a01cfb0e11f8822318b.png Instead of giving you a long list of things we added, changed, updated, and improved, we thought it will be better to give you a sample of our work and let you compare the changes and improvements for yourselves, although we’ve outlined some of the significant changes below.

Updated Prologue Build for the upcoming Steam Game Festival!

In the prologue, you’ll play through the beginning of the main story and see for yourself all the improvements and changes in the game, many as a result of your feedback and suggestions. You’ll find some significant user interface improvements and user experience changes in the updated prologue demo. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37186745/72de3df08a2992d723779322571422fb2fc96206.png We extended the building mechanics, adding the ability to cancel building orders and dismantle standing buildings which allows you to retrieve some of the materials used in its construction.

Also, we are happy to announce...

Siege Survival Soundtrack DLC!

Greetings Survivors! Those ware very busy weeks for Siege Survival crew. We were mentioned on prestige gaming industry events, like in Digital Dragons and #PAXEGX global online events. We addressed your feedback from the Prologue and made countless improvements and bugfixes for the final game. We introduced the very last planned features, new stories and events, new playable and NPC characters, prepared new game + sandbox, cloud save system and finally – we hit 50 000 wishlists milestone! On that occasion, I think it would be nice to give you some details about the progress we made. We are working hard on the game, and we would like to polish the game as good as we could. So, without further ado, lets jump straight to it.

New Features

First things first, we'd like to thank all our players for all the extensive feedback we've received from the Prologue! It greatly helped us to get our priorities right, and gave us the very best confidence that the last few features we're going to add are on spot. We introduced a lot of new features to extend the gameplay possibilities of the game, as an example adding a stationary trebuchet in the castle – an endgame interactive building that will allow you to launch deadly projectiles to enemies and turn the tide. But first, you would need to do some things to bring that old war engine back to life. You will be able to repair the trebuchet in the midgame. We want to give the player a time to learn basic game mechanics, develop the infrastructure and prepare for harder battles before the game will introduce new layers and options that extend gameplay. And that is not all! Since the trebuchet is such a powerful weapon, using it effectively will require your best dedication in terms of the resources, time and characters management. But with what a reward! Had you prepared pots to make the base of your devastating flaming projectiles, you’re ready to venture out for the place where tar can be collected. Then, all you have to do after returning with your ammunition back to the castle is to scout enemy lines to make your trebuchet shots even more deadly… and fire at will! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38218374/10fdf4aa4db3a7ee983789e3a2c98c475a8d9ece.gif You can find extended gif in better quality here

Economy

The well balanced, intuitive and fair economy is crucial in such the resources and time management games as Siege Survival is. We heard your feedback: we improved and extended a huge part of the in-game economy, adjusting it to the phasing of the game as well to old and new tasks and challenges you will face during gameplay. In the final game, it will be more player dependant how you will cover the needs of your castle crew and the Bastion. Players will be able to adjust the flexible gameplay to their demands so everyone – hardcore and casual players – will get the best game experience. Building a harmonious and self-sufficient economic base is still a challenge, but looking at all facilities working well for the common purpose is a unique experience of its kind.

Immersion

Another aspect of the game we received a lot of feedback from you was the immersion. We want you to identify with ingame civilians and soldiers, establish a relationship with them and feel the full range of emotions while playing Siege Survival. First, we took care of the visual and sound setting of the game. We added new tracks, sounds, made Edring City more influencing on emotions and senses. Added more fire, smoke, corpses, crows and other things that will make night scavenge more immersive, so you will feel, that those streets ran red with blood just a few days ago, citizens ran away or hid from the raiders and everyone who has left is counting on you to hold the last stand. Another part that was reported by you was a fact, that soldiers were stationed in another part of the castle, behind another wall, behind the bridge and three gates. So, we moved the fight under your walls. Bastion is now an integral part of the castle you have as your base, and enemies are now hitting your gate. This increases the sense of responsibility and greatly helps to make you feel being under siege. There are more changes that will help immersion, like improvement of the fighting system if you decide to take your chances in fighting one of the enemies at night, adding another type of bombardment you will need to take care off (cow corpses thrown inside the walls spreading disease!) or adding even more moral choices in the events and a lot of improvements. All these improvements add to the overall experience created by both the game's mechanics and the emotional layer. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38218374/67db24a27a775a99cb28815edc2749e583ddedd1.png You can see here some buildings you have never seen before: Rat Trap, Water Collector, Garden Plot and mentioned earlier - Trebuchet!

Scenario Editor

Adjusting the game to your demands and needs using the New Game + feature is one thing, but how about the possibility of creating the entirely new and unique scenarios? How great would it be to make your events, create your characters with unique traits, have the power to change the game economy and loot, create your buildings and crafting recipes or set up the ultimate challenge for other players changing and adjusting battles difficulty? Well, you will be able to do that thanks to the integrated scenario editor that we created and keep using while we’re creating the default scenario! It gives almost infinite options – for us, and for you! – to create new exciting stories, meet new characters and share your very own vision of the Siege Survival with everyone! The fun will be endless, and we are looking forward to seeing your ideas and dreams reforged into great mods and standalone scenarios. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38218374/5df1d96fc4758f4b9438f54edec7f92caec58c02.png Screenshot showing the text event editor tab in Siege Survival Scenario Editor!

Wishlist challenge – Additional translation

And the last but not least – we have a pleasure to announce that we just hit the 50,000 Wishlist milestone! We’d like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your support, feedback and encouragement. This wouldn’t be done without you! As it’s been announced, reaching this milestone means that we will translate the game to a new language chosen by the Community. People across the world have spoken and the vote result is... German! This language received the most votes and we already started to look for translators to add German localization to the game. Here is the percentage of votes:

• 54% – German
• 15% – Spanish
• 10% – Italian
• 8% – Portuguese
• 7% – Japanese
• 3% – Swedish
• 2% – Dutch
• 1% – Korean

What is the plan for the nearest future?

Despite our honest will to share the game with you as soon as possible, the game release may be delayed a little because of various reasons. We are a small indie studio, and we want to make Siege Survival the best possible experience for you. That is why we would like to reserve a little more time to polish and optimize the game even better before the release. We can't stress it enough to thank you enough for your support, feedback and cheering. We are honoured to be able to create and be part of such a wonderful community. Stay tuned and remember: These walls will not fall!

Be sure to add the game to your Steam Wishlist!

Hello Survivors! Siege Survival: Gloria Victis has made it to the finals of the Digital Dragons Indie Showcase! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38218374/3dc09760602c03f678cd56a6ba50ece261163fe9.png But it's not only about the Jury. Your vote counts too – you can choose the best upcoming Indie Game the Community Vote event!

VOTE FOR YOUR FAVORITE GAME HERE

Thank you for your support!

Hello Survivors! Thanks to our amazing Community, Siege Survival: Gloria Victis has earned 40.000 Steam Wishlists so far! As we promised, after reaching this goal we will translate the game to another language chosen by the Community. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38218374/7a74959dea868c6be2b9a861be3dea4669af5419.png The game is already translated to English, Polish, Chinese, Russian and Turkish, and now the time has come to choose the translation that will be added. We have a pleasure to announce that the poll is open! When Siege Survival earns 50.000 Steam Wishlists, the top-voted language will be chosen to translate into.

This is your time. Let your vote speak!

Hello, Survivors! 5 days ago we released the free Prologue version of Siege Survival: Gloria Victis. We’ve had high hopes for it, as we’ve been confident about the game and its quality. But what happened over those 5 few days, simply exceeded all of our expectations. Let’s wrap up the summary of the Prologue launch! First of all, you’ve literally buried us with your feedback – we’ve already received more than a thousand of the in-game tickets! Thanks to this we can make the game better, and keep working on it. Some examples:

• The first battle has been slightly too long, so we’ve already shortened it a bit.
• Some players had difficulties because of building next constructions in a specific order – for this reason, we’ll improve the tutorial phase to involve building the Stump earlier.
• The battle’s interface could communicate more clearly that the player can turn the tide during the battle, even at the last moment.
• Some players would like to have a more direct impact on the battles, so in the full game, we’ll implement some heavier war gear – a player-controlled trebuchet!

Thank you all for your feedback – it helps us make a better game!

50.000 activations!

More than 50.000 Steam users have added the Prologue to their Library so far – and the number is still growing faster and faster! And also this has caused that...

Prologue remains in the Top 5 in Steam’s “New and Trending” EDIT: WE'RE ALREADY IN THE TOP 2! WOW!

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38218374/0a440ded62d9199132af4dca5aae98dd0f2e79f4.jpg And it does so since Friday! This requires no further explanation. We’re truly amazed, and we’d like to thank you all for this, as well as for...

Positive reviews!

Since the release, reviews of the Prologue remain at the “Very Positive” ratio, fluctuating around 90% positive reviews. It’s uplifting to see you’ve liked the Prologue so much! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38218374/4bc9783147d2a856a472d8680079f623ad8a5851.jpg

Wishlists are skyrocketing

By the time we launched the Prologue, the full game had a bit less than 25.000 Wishlists. Now, 5 days later, it’s almost 35.000, and the Prologue itself earned the further 10.000 Wishlist from players willing to try it out in the spare moment. Which means 20 000 wishlist's increase in total within those few days, wow! As a side-effect, the daily Wishlist gain has got an amazing boost. On Saturday, August 23rd, the full game gained 2375% more Wishlists than a week ago, on August 16th. Woohoo! Also, this means that we’ve reached another tier of the Wishlist Challenge and the full game will be released with a 10% discount! For this occasion, we’re glad to announce the next goal: if Siege Survival gets 40.000 Wishlists, the game will be translated to another language chosen by the Community! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38218374/2b05cd8fb2163f0b21bb2e0198a858c74bc0858e.png

A welcome surprise!

Speaking of translations, something crazy has happened when a French YouTuber, Dan Field, has made a gameplay video from the Prologue: Thanks to this video, a lot of French gamers contacted us and offered to translate the Prologue into French, which took… just 72 hours! We’d like to thank from the bottom of our hearts the group of volunteers, led by veteran translator Caïn Halas, that contributed to the French translation:

• DentaX
• djnico60
• Geichigenen
• Hans "Herr Zatz"
• Ilya
• Lucas13700
• NooJ
• Shield

The French translation has already been applied to the game over the weekend, in one of many smaller updates. You can expect further patches in the following days, as we're carefully analysing your priceless feedback (we've got so much of it!) and improving the Prologue.

Have fun playing, enjoy this adventure and share your feedback with us!

Greetings, Survivors! Tomorrow you will be able to check the Siege Survival Prologue by yourselves! We already told you about daytime sieges you will be able to actively stand against, new characters and traders you will be able to find while scavenging. By the way, how do you like our new logo? {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38218374/d4b9df65211662b4b7132d58560d32cc007eb3c4.png Today, we will tell you some more about the background work we are doing for the final version of the game:

Save system

We received a lot of feedback that the game may need a save system, and there is no way to keep your progress in Demo to get back to the game later in the day. Of course, such a system was planned for the final game, but we pushed ourselves an extra mile and we are proud to announce that you will be able to save your gameplay already in Prologue. Since Prologue is a little longer than the Demo, it may be a useful feature, and we will be also happy to test it with you to check if everything is working properly. Every gameplay you will start will be automatically saved on the start of each day. And for every session, you will be able to load the last two mornings to fix any potential mistakes you made in the day or try some different route in a text event for an example. We are also working on a system of saves compatibility between game versions and in addition to that – cloud save – so we will do our best to not lose your progress when we decide to drop a huge update with a lot of backend changes or you will be playing the game on the other side of the world without your personal computer around.

New Game Plus

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38218374/28ab7b438a5958b6c93c87b86ddc614addab35ef.jpg Most of you may remember that one of our wishlist challenge rewards was New Game + system, that will allow you to change your gameplay in various parts of the game. So, we can already show you some sneak peeks and tell you what you will be able to change to make Siege Survival sandbox experience adjusted to your demands. After reaching a certain day in the game, you will be able to start a new adventure with adjustable change. The difficulty of battles will allow you to face more challenging battles and will put more focus on Bastion. Scavenge difficulty will change base alert level and will spawn more or fewer guards at night which will impact your ability to gather resources undetected. You will also have the option to change the game length and frequency of battles and also set up starting resources and how many of them will be spawned in the occupied city. Weather is another important thing because in Siege Survival there will not always be enough water to find and you may be dependent on a water collector that is collecting morning dew and rainwater. It is important to have some stored, because you may even face drought on higher difficulties. Last but not least, you can pick characters you want to play with. Each of them has different background stories and unique hidden skills that are making them more or less efficient in some aspects. Some of them will be stronger so they will have more space in their backpacks, some will search for supplies faster or will be more skilled in handling weapons. The best part of picking characters is that you will need to find them in your gameplay to unlock them for new adventures, so it will be a lot of fun to find all available playable characters! You can also see on the screenshot above that we are preparing Iron mode – mode for the most demanding and challenge-hungry players that will not allow you to move back and load saved game – you will have one try and if you lose the game, it will be final. Stay tuned! That is all for today, we will move on to putting the last polish touches on the Prologue and we can't wait for your feedback! Also, we would like to invite you to check previous Journals that you might have missed!

Greetings, Survivors! As we’ve promised on Friday, here we have some more insight into our work and new things you will be able to try in the Prologue of Siege Survival: Gloria Victis!

New playable characters and NPCs

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38218374/3b93366009cffd266cde8eaaf508113b087beba5.png Some of you already know Bertram and Flint, our two brave civilians who are doing their best to hold the castle. In the Prologue – which exceeds the Demo version with the available content – you will be able to meet some more unique NPCs with a nice background story and even add a new character(s) to the castle crew! Many of you asked if there will be female characters in the game, and we can already say – see it on your own! There will be are female playable characters and NPCs. Overall there will be a lot of characters to unlock, but I will tell you about that later. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38218374/33d6ba886564a62088fa375ae6c47601e628429f.jpg Tip: you can dig in some Steam discussions, we’ve already spoiled some names of the ladies that’ll play their part in Siege Survival.

Traders!

We are aware that the city in the demo was a little empty, but that was basically because we were still working on some features and stories in the background! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38218374/1b56fe6df743774c9459d95b31d6758a7f6d5226.jpg In this version, you will be able to find one of the traders at night and be able to exchange some stuff in barter transactions. It is adding another nice and immersive layer to economy and survival. And that’s not all yet! In the next Dev Journal, we will tell you about some backend features like the Save System and share some more about how your feedback affects the development of the game!

Stay tuned, and add the Prologue to your Steam Wishlist now!

Greetings, Survivors! We’re proud to announce the reveal of Siege Survival: Gloria Victis Prologue! This standalone, Free-To-Play application will introduce you to the story we want to share with you in the game, and give you a taste of improved ingame features and mechanics! If you’ve played the Demo during Steam Summer Festival, you absolutely must try this version too, as here you’ll find a lot of brand new features, even more challenges, and a countless improvements that we‘ve made after receiving so much of the players’ feedback! The Prologue will contain the first 7 days (moar than in demo!) of gameplay, letting you learn the dramatic story of the citizens of Edring, and the game’s unique mechanics, even better. You’ll meet new characters, actively help in the defense of Bastion during day time battles (woohoo!), trade with shady merchants, and sneak your way to crucial supplies during night weaving around deadly – and much smarter! – enemy guards. But let’s break that down, feature by feature, to give you an insight into huge work we’ve already done, and we keep continuing:

Battles!

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38218374/091c865e31490bbdc294634a681c330e678c06c5.jpg We’ve received hundreds of the feedback tickets from the Demo players – it was amazing to see how much fun you’ve got in the game! But there was one specific element that’s been often indicated as one that needs more love: Battles. The overnight assaults made their job of justifying our position as civilians in the besieged castle, and the Bastion’s demand for supplies created a lot of gameplay challenges. But your feedback clearly said that the nighttime battles haven’t been immersive enough and that it’d be better if they had more impact on us, behind the second line of the defense.

And here we are, bringing to you what you’ve wanted, needed and asked for!

Long story short, the invaders have found out that it’s easier to attack castle walls in daylight (seems smart, you must admit, as they rather haven’t brought the night vision for the raid), so they rescheduled their attacks and they will rush at your castle during the day! During attacks, they will:

• Shoot flaming arrows to set your building on fire and hurt your characters,
• Launch deadly stones that will break buildings and defenders’ hearts (even literally, if you dared to stand in one place),
• And send (airborne) cow corpses that will spread disease among your people.

You will need to boil hot tar to hold the gate, repair broken armament to keep soldiers’ defense abilities, and after battle – you will need to find or craft new supplies, arrows, and food to hold your last stand, until the awaited relief comes. You will also need to take care of wounded soldiers, help them patch holes in the walls, and provide psychological care for your people (Ok, I am joking with that one actually). Basically, sieges will look more or less like this: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38218374/954ec262175998c67b15d0c4365b099453bd2158.gif {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38218374/79a8b8bf76937968765cedc4608251105a501d53.gif
