Patch 2.1.4: Two New Hands, Graphics Updates & Masters of Albion Bundle

Noontidesteam_community_announcements

102d ago

Darkest greetings, directors/cleaners/underlords! Quite an eccentric resume, there.

We’re still up to our elbows in Kaiju guts, and the next War for the Overworld game remains in early pre-production, but when we realised it’s been a bit since we’ve had an update for you, we knew we couldn’t let a year go by without a little content update from us.

We also realised that Masters of Albion, the upcoming god game from our Peter Molyneux-led pals at 22cans, was just about to release. We thought, “wow, what a coincidence! Maybe we can do something about both of these things at the same time.” More on that below!

Hands! Pickaxes! Bundles! Games! Vegetables! It’s all happening right now!

Patch 2.1.4: Enough Hands to Clap With

Patch Highlights

Full release notes at the bottom of the post.

Free Content: Two New Hands of “Evil”

This update’s free content is two brand-slapping new Hands of Evil in the style of the good and evil god hands from 22cans’ Masters of Albion. We even built some swanky new pickaxes with which to hew the earth below ground.

These new hands are available for free to all our valued underlords. You can access them from the gameplay options menu.

Furthermore all of your devilish hands can now be scaled up to 200% size, if you feel your hand is too small to adequately slap your minions

Visual Updates

We’re continuing our work in improving the visuals of some of the older content in the game, time permitting. The latest rooms to receive a lighting & shadow update are the Spirit Chamber and Arena.

The Spirit Chamber becomes much more mysterious and moody, casting long shadows from the Witch Doctor as they forget to finish their sentences.

Meanwhile the arena is filled with shadows (literally) as spectators yell and jeer at the brutal fighting below.

Several units have also received a bit of a visual pass as we deploy a new shader developed for the Wizened Imp a few years ago. Just check out how swish the Witch Doctor looks when he's not 5x brighter than his environment.

Side by Side of the Witch Doctor. Old Material (Left) vs New (Right)

Meanwhile all your ghostly minions have been treated to a new shader. This shader reduces their rendering overhead (better for performance) while maintaining much of what we all love about them. Their spectral visage!

Side by side of a Spirit Dwarven Worker. Old (Left) vs New (Right)

Previously ghosts would receive lighting from sources around them, defining much of the surface with extra detail that is lost in dark environments. Now Ghosts are self-lit and do not receive light from external sources. Making them more consistently ghostly.

War for the Overworld x Masters of Albion Bundle

Along with the Masters of Albion-themed hand skins, we've also teamed up with 22cans to release a special bundle featuring both games!

Masters of Albion is a return to form for the studio, an attempt to reignite and redefine the god game genre from those who helped to give it life in the first place. It’s a god game with city-building, siege defense, unit possession and so much more. Your choices will shape the fate of your people and that of Albion.

Also you can give everyone the middle finger with your godly extremity, which is just utterly charming.

Why bundle with Masters of Albion?

Peter is oft-credited as the father of the god game genre, a serious pedigree, and many of the beloved games from our childhood were shaped by his deft hand. Populous, Dungeon Keeper, Black and White, Fable. Legendary games which formed the basis of a genre of gameplay which is rarely emulated.

It’s safe to say that his work has been a huge inspiration to us. Just read our 20 Years of Dungeon Keeper post from a few years ago! Cut to 2026 and we’re now bundled alongside Dungeon Keeper on Steam!

But the history is even more personal.

When we first started our journey, we were fortunate enough to meet Peter and the folks at 22cans. This was when we first set out with a dream to make WFTO, and were building our Kickstarter pitch.

Peter was all too happy to support us in that pitch, giving us his support and blessing in the form of a video legitimising our efforts.

Truthfully this is one of the gifts given to us that helped us bring War for the Overworld to life. If not for Peter’s support we may well have fallen at the first hurdle and never have broken out into the industry and delivered WFTO to all of you.

This camaraderie shown to us is why we’re eager to team up now, to help share an awesome new god-game from the man who made it all possible, and we genuinely think you’ll love this new game if you’re a fan of this genre.

So, be sure to check out Masters of Albion, from 22cans, releasing on the 22nd of April. If I was an apopheniac, I’d be having a conniption right now.

Brightrock News & Open Positions

As for ourselves here at Brightrock? We’re pretty much all hands on deck on our upcoming game Kaiju Cleanup.

It’s had an incredibly strong reception, and has only continued gaining momentum as we announced co-op. We also had a good laugh with an April Fools as we announced the Vegan Edition.

We’ve continued to expand our team, and we’re now at the largest we’ve ever been - but we still need more diligent development imps. If you happen to be a Senior Environment Artist or a Senior Producer, then we’ll have positions open very soon. If either of those are of interest to you, be sure to sign up to the careers newsletter on our website.

Brightrock’s Next Game — Kaiju Cleanup — Studio Update & War for the Overworld

Noontidesteam_community_announcements

308d ago

Darkest greetings Underlords,

Entranced in their darkest worships your cultists study visions of a distant and unusual realm; one overrun with gargantuan monsters, brought low by overwhelming firepower and swiftly picked apart as if descended upon by so many carrion feeders. Delicious.

We’re pleased to announce that Brightrock’s next game, in partnership with Mythwright, is finally revealed as the job simulation videogame Kaiju Cleanup, coming to Steam and other platforms at some point as yet undetermined.

But what exactly is Kaiju Cleanup? And in what ways will its sinister binary magiks hack your brain into seeking gainful employment in the sanitation industry? Check out the gruesome details in this fully fact-checked vision plucked from the aether.

Should such morbid fascinations appeal to you Underlord then you are compelled to wishlist the game; for such actions will please the darkest of gods, The Algorithm, and shower our plucky development imps with future success.

Then cast your eyes upon the social media lest you miss the latest developments from this strange realm.

Finally if you’re interested in getting your evil hand dirty then you can signup to playtest early versions of Kaiju Cleanup on the store page.

A Message from Brightrock Games & The Future of War for The Overworld

Hey folks,

Thanks for checking out the announcement of Kaiju Cleanup! We and our partners at Mythwright are super excited to hear what you think, and are looking forward to sharing more over the coming months.

For those of you who’ve been with us for a while, we know this is a departure from our usual faire and might come as a bit of a surprise! After Galacticare — which was a big project for us — we wanted to try our hands at something smaller, lighter, and… messier.

But rest assured that this is far from the only project under construction in the digital halls of Brightrock Games, in fact Kaiju Cleanup is explicitly designed to be a lighter, more agile project allowing us to expand our team, develop our techniques and parallelise our studio.

For our valued Underlords who long for the opportunity to return to the warrens of Kairos we wanted you to know that we’ve not forgotten why we started this journey and our history remains very close to our cores. We’re happy to share that the next War for the Overworld game is in the earliest stages of being realised, but please keep in mind that when we say early, we mean early.

We’re eager to do this right, and it’s going to be another huge project for us — one that needs a sizable development time, so it might be quite a while before we have any further news to share from the depths. We’re confident it’ll be worth the wait.

Until then, please support our upcoming game Kaiju Cleanup by wishlisting and following our development!

Until next time Underlord,

- Brightrock Games

War for the Overworld x Dungeon Keeper Bundle

Noontidesteam_community_announcements

452d ago

Darkest greetings Underlords, Today we bring you some terrific news courtesy of the devilishly brilliant efforts of Mythwright, War for the Overworld's new publisher, the pact with whom you can read more about in our 10 Year Anniversary Update post! Read on Underlord!

War for the Overworld x Dungeon Keeper Bundle

What is it that they say? Ah yes "Evil things always come in threes". War for the Overworld now joins Dungeon Keeper 1 & 2 to form a triumvirate of dungeon building experiences fiendishly forged to sate your dark desires. https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/53030/Dungeon_Keeper_x_War_for_the_Overworld/ This bundle is a "complete your collection" affair, dynamically providing 15% off in addition to any other discounts the games inside have. It's the perfect opportunity to complete your dungeon building collections! For that matter, both Dungeon Keeper games are currently 50% off themselves so if you already own WFTO there's no better time to pick them up than right now, leveraging that sweet additional discount from the new bundle! Try not to tarry Underlord, as the sale does end in just over a week. But rest assured the bundle and its 15% discount will remain for the foreseeable future.

Community Projects for Discerning Keepers

As you're no doubt aware War for the Overworld itself has a long history, starting all the way back in 2009 on the Keeper Klan forums so we've long been a part of the communities which surround this space. So we have a few fine fiends we'd like to introduce you to.

KeeperFX for Dungeon Keeper

Should you wish to strike out in Dungeon Keeper 1 we can heartily recommend checking out our long-term friends at KeeperFX. KeeperFX is an open-source remake which improves the original Dungeon Keeper drastically with modernisations, bug fixes, new features, multiplayer, mod support and perhaps even some ideas pilfered with gusto from our very vaults. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4422470/ba33af62f5155cd86aa2d745ddfbd09a32305d65.png Grab KeeperFX Here! It's probably the best way to play Dungeon Keeper 1 today, and all you need is a legitimate copy of the original game. How fortunate it is then that it is on sale right now in the very bundle above!

Flame for Dungeon Keeper 2

Meanwhile for those who prefer Dungeon Keeper 2 we recommend casting your gaze upon Dialight's Flame a new project which similarily aims to fix some of Dungeon Keeper 2's issues by modifying the game code. Grab Flame Here! You can even play multiplayer again, time to brush off those old tomes and learn new metas with your Black Knights, Wizards and Dark Elves. If you need any help with either of these then we highly recommend you join the Keeper Klan community on Discord. Please be aware that the Keeper Klan forums and discord as well as the projects listed are community-driven efforts and not associated with Brightrock Games, Mythwright or Electronic Arts. We at Brightrock just wanted to raise awareness for these cool community efforts bringing these old games back on modern systems.

Ten Year Anniversary Update, New & Exclusive Skins. What's Next?

Noontidesteam_community_announcements

487d ago

Darkest greetings Underlords, Yesterday, your cultists brought word of an astounding new development in the War for the Overworld multiverse which, as many of you no doubt surmised, was a most ingenious and clever ruse in honour of a special day in which we get to make stupid jokes. Read all about it here! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4422470/454ccc560fba2b20aba2c9c20aee50d86d1522df.png Unfortunately the chatlog is not a work of parody, people actually talk like this to each other. Indeed there is no WFTO MMO, which would be a singularly foolhardy idea as a follow up to a popular cult dungeon management game – almost as ill-fated as a perhaps overly-greedy mobile entry into such a franchise. But you needn’t be told that, do you, Underlord? In any case, what follows April Fools day every year is a day even more special to us: War for the Overworld’s birthday, April 2nd; the day the game released from early access in 2015. There’s a lot to get through, including a small War for the Overworld patch, what’s next for us at Brightrock, the return of the pen & paper RPG, and finally, an announcement regarding our latest game – Galacticare. Read on Underlord!

Ten Years of War for the Overworld

That’s right: War for the Overworld turns ten today! Technically it’s even older if you consider the two and a half years of Early Access before that, but who’s counting? (Us. Unfortunately, we’re now 10 years older and no longer bright faced youths but grizzled game developers in our own right!) https://images.steamusercontent.com/ugc/576737662570420015/89BC25921C51A327ECBFB7F3CB506FADFE286C5C/ The Archive, the oldest screenshot on the Steam Community which haunts us to this day. What followed release was three years of active development, endless patches, expansions, free content, imps, the works – all to try and build a dungeon management game that would leave our fans and customers satisfied that WFTO, in the end, reached its potential. We hope that those of you reading this feel that, despite the pitfalls and stumbling blocks that first ol’ game of ours went through, it ultimately filled a space that’d been left empty in your libraries – and even in the genre – and provided many hours of entertainment. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4422470/0ca4302e16eb3ce4dfff52db39834f2bccdd1982.jpg An Archive for the Modern Era, with distinctly less cultists smashing their heads into bookcases We’re celebrating this marvelous milestone with a new patch. It brings a new worker skin; the opportunity to unlock the most exclusive skins in the game, including the dev only skin; several more visual upgrades; performance enhancements; and more. You can find the summary for that and the release notes below! When we first started on this journey, we couldn’t have imagined we’d still be sharing our love of dungeon management with you all these years later. WFTO has been a journey and a half – and one we’re all very proud of. We hope you’ve had a blast with us along the way… and that you’ll join us for the next decade of Brightrock’s story!

Partnership with Mythwright & The Future

We’re sure you’re all wondering what’s next for Brightrock now that Galacticare and its first expansion (more on that below) are out of the door. Despite the wider turmoil and uncertainty in the industry, things are going well for us at Brightrock. We’re expanding the studio to increase our capacity, bringing on new coders, designers, and more, with the goal of boosting our ability to make more great games – and get them out to you more often. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4422470/de952b77e0c5ef0fb94d4f89bd5d154db8f5a928.jpg The team in Warsaw shortly after the release of Galacticare, gathered to celebrate and discuss future plans We’ve also partnered up with Mythwright, who will be taking over publishing responsibilities for War for the Overworld and several upcoming projects. These new games are quite varied in their size, scope, and genre… and one of them does involve returning to the underworld (but it’ll likely be a few years before we have much to share on that one). {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4422470/911b4d09a2d60725e5c754fbc64e98722073b3aa.png For War for the Overworld, Mythwright will be polishing up the store pages and making a few other minor changes behind the scenes (with the overall aim of allowing us to focus on development instead). This has included price drops in a few currencies, as well as tweaking the bundling options (the Ultimate Edition now includes the Seasonal Worker Skins and has a higher bundle discount percentage). We’re extremely excited about our partnership with Mythwright and the future of Brightock. We can’t wait to share more details about our upcoming projects with you!

Patch 2.1.3 Highlights

New Worker Skin: Wizened Worker

To celebrate War for the Overworld’s 10th anniversary, we did the most evil thing we could think of – cancelling our remote-work arrangement and calling Stumpy the Blood Imp back into the dungeon. He’s been with us since the beginning, and there are no insipid “retirement plans” in the Underworld! We must admit that he is getting on a bit, though… {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4422470/3384c40cfba76bea971f80e52c48e10feb1b64dc.jpg He now joins your dungeon, world-travelled, world-weary, and suffering from an other-worldly case of scoliosis. He says it’s due to carrying the results of his labours in his backpack for a decade. We say he’s trying to squeeze us for work injury-related compensation. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4422470/af0a6ba4d59d81111068601007d33c1f9b897098.gif Whatever the case may be, Underlord, simply launch War for the Overworld at any time to unlock this Wizened Worker for your own collection – for free and in dark perpetuity.

Formerly Exclusive Skins Now Unlockable

One of the community’s most prevalent wishes since the game wrapped has been to complete your skin collections – imp skins, we’re hoping – which was impossible due to several exclusive skins which have become unobtainable over the years: These skins are:

The Yogscast Worker, given out as a special code as part of the Yogscast Jingle Jam event in 2017
The Golden Worker, given out to select community members who made great contributions via map creation, fan art, QA volunteering, and more
The Silver Worker, given out only to developers of War for the Overworld.

We’ve heard you, and we’re giving you the opportunity to earn these fancy, exclusive imps! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4422470/27cd2db96fd65920e0ac52842a876e51cff342fe.jpg We want to somewhat retain their rarity so that snagging them is an accomplishment, rather than simply giving them out. Firstly, we’ll ask for a donation to charity; as such, you’ll need to own any tier of the Cynical Imp Charity Bundles. Then, to unlock each skin, you’ll need to complete a specific selection of achievements as detailed in the unlocks menu in-game. You asked for it, Underlord – now prove you truly want to earn these precious skins. We look forward to the first player who shows off their new, formerly developer–exclusive Silver Skin for completing practically the whole game!

Visual & Graphics Updates

This patch includes more visual updates across the game, with several rooms receiving a lighting & materials pass. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4422470/df0910b85e3fcdb1cfc8450d89931f6517f659b2.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4422470/0da1e4a285c65b245f0929c6c75e0c970b78dcde.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4422470/1958c60c414df95eaba1e99c56785e40fc2a2270.jpg We’ve also rolled out the new character shader to the Skarg, which needed a little bit of an uplift. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4422470/ab19b0baf38f030a0b6b151ce27a64967cfce8cd.jpg

Of course, there’s more than that – including some performance improvements, a fix here and there, and more general stuff. See the full patch notes below!

The Oni Ashigaru Worker Returns

Per yearly tradition, the Oni Ashigaru worker has returned for you to claim. Simply log in before the end of April and he will join your collection permanently! https://wftogame.com/wp-content/uploads/OniAshigaruWorker-1-768x432.png Don’t miss out – for if you fail to catch the wandering warrior, he will be gone for another year! https://wftogame.com/wp-content/uploads/Worker-Flyby.gif

Wicked Ones x WFTO Pen & Paper RPG Now Free!

We’re pleased to announce that the War for the Overworld supplement for Wicked Ones, which allows you and some friends to conspire and build your dark lair as faithful servants to your Underlord (a combined GM/Player character) is now completely free! https://wftogame.com/wp-content/uploads/WFTOCover-Small-693x1024.jpg It’s an innovative take on both Pen and Paper roleplaying and the Wicked Ones system. If you haven’t given this a go, and fancy something new to try out, grab your free copy today! https://wftogame.com/wp-content/uploads/WO-WFTO-1.jpg Wicked Ones itself entered the public domain last year so is available to download for free. So we’re also releasing the supplemental book as a free download. Download the War for the Overworld Wicked Ones Campaign Supplement Download Wicked Ones via this link! Note: The paid/charity version of the WFTO Campaign Supplement originally included the Dungeoneer’s Guide to the Underworld. As the supplement is now free and under particular licence terms that allow redistribution we have removed the Dungeoneer’s Guide from these files. The Dungeoneer’s Guide is available in the Underlord Edition of War for the Overworld. https://wftogame.com/wp-content/uploads/WO-WFTO-2.jpg Finally, if you love the art in this gorgeous book as much as we do, please give the artist - Victor Costa - a vigorous applause with your single, massive, evil hand.

Noontidesteam_community_announcements

488d ago

Darkest Greetings Underlords, Emerging from our dormancy, we blink, raising our arthritic hands to block out the invading light carried by the gnarled imp that appears at our door. “Master”, it gurgles from its awful, malformed gullet, “the Underlords, they summons us!” The goblin-thing holds out a scabby hand. Clutched within a rotting roll of parchment, marked with an incomprehensible repeating message of “+1”, repeated again and again by different voices, overlapping in cacophonic disorder – perhaps in some sinister, evil ritual that causes a monkey paw to curl somewhere. Well, your demands have been heeded Underlords; after a brief foray into SPACE, our next game in the War for the Overworld franchise is just around the proverbial dungeon corner – and in a form you might not expect. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4422470/19530440d545a7a5cf153603732436bc42b08560.png We’re proud to finally introduce WORLD OF THE WAR FOR THE OVERWORLD: ONLINE! That’s right Underlord, we’re making the next logical leap for a real-time strategy game, the inevitable, inexorable march towards the MMORPG genre! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4422470/f426f7f29344b13e7a6cbe6323ca7c7fcf758c26.png

HARD Mode - A New Way to Play

We’ve been watching developments in the MMO space closely these last few years – and especially the rise of “Hardcore” experiences. We want to take the tension, the pressure, and the immersion even further! So we’re introducing Hardcore Absolutely Real Death Mode or HARD Mode. For the low price of £2,100 a month (and a signed waiver by you) our in-house specialist, Geoff, will come to live with you with the explicit goal of linking your fate to your characters. If you eat in the game, Geoff force feeds you coffee biscuits. Get stabbed by a goblin? Geoff cuts you with an actual knife. Fall off a cliff? Geoff breaks your legs. Die in the game? Geoff snaps your neck like a carrot! Better yet, while playing HARD Mode, your character never truly logs out, so the peril never stops! Find a safe space for your character, eat when they do, sleep when they do. Geoff is always there, all seeing, all knowing. Geoff is there for your immersion. Trust Geoff. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4422470/2b0c676eb5bdc9a6b9f776fdb39f3b4443fc327a.jpg One artist’s (Henry Fuseli) impression of Geoff just doing his job This new commitment to the hardcore experience is sure to provide hours of entertainment to the five viewers of your twitch stream!

We’ve Got What You Need!

*Producer’s Note: FOR INTERNAL REVIEW ONLY DO NOT INCLUDE IN PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT!!!* There’s a bunch of awesome ways we can monetise this shit on top of the subscription and make some EZ DOSH. People will buy anything these days y’know? Suckers. Anyway if you figure out a way to make this fit into the announcement in a way that gets people hyped it’s here for you. JUST MAKE SURE IT’S NEVER SEEN!

Mounts! - You seen those suckers paying £50 for a goddamn horse these days? That’s more than the whole game! Get in! While you’re at it, throw some VFX on it in an afternoon, and we can probably make a premium version cost a bit more. Cha-ching baby!
Convenience! - Everyone’s getting older and busier plus, we’ve harnessed the power of dark design to make it so everything just feels a bit more like a slog, but you can never put your finger on why. That’s great because it means we can sell people stuff like character boosts, reputation boosters or other useful consumables so they don’t have to play the game or talk to anyone. Win-win I’d say!
Seasons, Seasons, Seasons! - You gotta keep people playing man! No matter what the cost, have an arbitrary system that hands out piecemeal rewards which we’d have previously given out in bigger batches. We can get more playtime out of the same work on our part, and more playtime means more sunk cost! Keep them in the net like the minnows they are!
In-Game Money - Goldsellers are a plague – getting all that fake money in our game, and making real money by selling it to people. But I’ve got a great idea – instead of banning these suckers and their customers as the cheats they are, we can just become gold sellers ourselves. Just abstract it out to give the option to get game time for in-game money and vice versa, then bob’s your uncle – we’ll outcompete the gold sellers AND make a tidy profit. What’s that? Concerned about the integrity of the game economy? Truly don’t give a toss.
Geoff Customisations - Geoff has insisted, as part of his contract, he gets all sorts of “swish human cloth” sent to him. Listen, I don’t want to fuck with this guy – he scares me, and if we don’t do it he might eat my appendix. Let’s just add a bunch of micro transactions and call them customisation for the player’s personal Geoff. As long as it keeps him busy, we’re good. Just get it done, for Christ's sakes.
The Billionaire Special! - Why stop at letting people buy gold and levels? For our biggest whales, let’s offer a service where some cheap labour plays the game for them, getting them the best gear while they sleep; all so our most venerable whales can feel a sense of true accomplishment and “earn” the admiration and respect that their joyless, empty, money golem heart truly desires. Just make sure it’s not too obvious. We don’t want people upsetting our biggest cash cows by rightfully claiming they’re frauds, or something.

That’s just a few of the things, I’ve got more of these than I can shake a stick at. Let’s book a powwow on Thursday to go over it! Thanks! - CFO

Patch 2.1.2, Imp Plushies & New Worker Skin

Noontidesteam_community_announcements

682d ago

Darkest Greetings Underlord, Today we bring tidings of a new minor patch, a new pact through which you can take home a little devil and new allies whose efforts to bring despair upon the goodly folks of the surface may excite you. Read on Underlord!

Highlights

Brightrock Games x Makeship

We’re pleased to announce that a dark pact has been sealed with the fastidious creators over at Makeship to bring your loyal imps to life in a dastardly soft new form. Bear witness and tremble Underlord! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4422470/3f07268c886294c0e29c08b0ff1d18ae95dc9e7e.png You can place your orders now for this devilish, yet delightfully squishy, Imp plush over at Makeship, make haste Underlord as it is made to order and shall be available only for a flicker of time before it is consigned to history. You have but 21 days to place your order! Should you wish it you could also acquire the fabriced visage of Medi from our latest endeavour Galacticare. Perhaps, should the whimsy take you you may find a way to combine them into the horrifying Medi Imp?! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4422470/2997a48e1fc914270f5f82b8dee9c15b19be1f26.png Don’t miss your chance Underlord, grab them now at Makeship!

Blood Imp Plushie
Medi Plushie

Free Worker Skin: Plushie Worker

Woven magics seal the pact and allow our mana to form a new soft and squishy vessel. As of today all Underlords can now choose to summon Plushie Workers into their dungeons instead of their regular blood and bone workers. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4422470/71c45ff5ff692a07b3c431ac8e7ba22670d88f47.jpg This Worker Skin is unlocked automatically for everyone, for use in any non-campaign game mode. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4422470/f1d8398e6e92e618ca4f2a29bb76ebd9d054b06a.gif

Visual Updates

As with our prior minor updates we’re continuing to adjust some of the visuals in the game. This is a minor side-project as WFTO is well and truly into its maintenance phase of life. The Sanctuary has had its lighting & shadow overhaul, the room generally always had a moody tone and we were keen to preserve and enhance this. Outside of the major change with the Altar’s light the changes are subtle but hopefully give the room a signature sinister feeling. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4422470/674fceb4b0e297766b75f43c51729a3c7201b9e7.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4422470/fe8d5574d698f3b9bdbd0a87625641bec1a77001.jpg The Hero Sanctuary meanwhile needed much more work, neglected because it doesn’t appear in any official levels and thus only appears if you’re playing non-campaign modes as an empire dungeon theme it didn’t really get much love. We've looked to rectify this historic oversight, giving the room it's own identity other than "Blue". {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4422470/e2c92f460480100ad948ae34e7b501ea8cfd7e8a.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4422470/58111de53483cb5be30e4a41eeef5ab6fac8a13a.jpg The rituals that are cast also had a lighting & shadow overhaul so they should now light up more of the room when being cast. Another area of interest was the default worker skin which now benefits from a more modern shader which was implemented for the Plushie Worker. The underlying art is still the same but the way it appears is updated, more consistent and respectful of in-scene lighting and aligned with the intended appearance even when team coloured. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4422470/e26446625c0c498a027cd0850b336691dc662be1.jpg This change should make the worker fit into the environment a bit better while still standing out enough that they can be seen.

Patch 2.1.2 Release Notes

Patch 2.1.1 "From Beyond" Release Notes - Galacticare Release & Worker Skin

Noontidesteam_community_announcements

801d ago

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4422470/49ccf2b861f939fdc32079523f7e342ad7f11380.gif Darkest Greetings Underlord, Today we release both a new creation, Galacticare and a small but mighty patch for War for the Overworld. Read on Underlord!

Patch v2.1.1 "From Beyond"

Patch Highlights

Medi Worker Skin

To celebrate the release of our new game, Galacticare, we have added a new worker skin to the game, the Medi Worker Skin! Your faithful blood imp workers have slain invaders from beyond an aethereal rift and salvaged their unusual armour as their own. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4422470/3d9cf740b48fda14454db41a792e4c3150f378f7.jpg This fantastic new skin can by deployed into the dungeon by owners of Galacticare which released today! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4422470/49ccf2b861f939fdc32079523f7e342ad7f11380.gif In return, owners of War for the Overworld will be able to bring the essence of the Blood Imp to Galacticare with the Blood Imp Medi Skin. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4422470/57675b4213595c8f11dfe0a185e2629d90147716.jpg We hope that you'll check out our new game Underlord, and we humbly thank you for all the support you've given us over the years. We would not have made it this far without you! https://store.steampowered.com/app/494730/Galacticare/

Further Visual Developments

We didn't want this patch to just be about the new worker skin however, so some of our development chunders have devoted their personal time to delivering something a little more substantial for your dark tastes. Continuing on the developments brought in Patch 2.1, where we looked at all of the existing cores and shrines in the game we've started to dedicate some eyes onto the other rooms. Specifically in this case the Barracks, Archive, Garrison, Lair and Slaughterpen and the Empire equivalents of these rooms. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4422470/dd8988dbc1a7166e39cbc2c847e1a7893352f48c.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4422470/7964af97640f2c76f18ffee873f38e97e3f931e1.jpg As part of this we've enabled dynamic shadows in all of these rooms, provided your graphics settings are set to the appropriate level. We've also added a new level of shadow setting which will enable extra shadow casters on certain lights in these rooms (primarily to provide more options in balancing fidelity with performance) {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4422470/35091ceee09b9593067d6920d726fb9a1ebc4832.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4422470/e5a41bbd6604ee48b3191911ac3cc0ebc50a2dec.jpg Additionally the Barracks and Garrison have also had new (old) wall decor added to their tilesets, which greatly increases the detail of the room. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4422470/a032ee8da314787eeb920594369b83264fbbc149.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4422470/4534eb66814c690e9ec36e3f75ef06496052e910.jpg As we detailed when we first added dynamic shadows, please remember that they are a super expensive graphical feature and will cost a lot of FPS due to the number of dynamic light sources that WFTO uses. For best performance we recommend using Low Shadow Distance when using "All" Shadows and Medium Shadow Distance when using "Important & Optional" Shadows. Not all of the visual improvements require shadows to be enabled and the visuals may be different with shadows off (as the lights will no longer be blocked by objects.

Improvements & Changes

Units

Permanent spirit workers (spawned by the Artefact of Workers) have been renamed to Soulbound workers and have a new appearence to differentiate them from temporary spirit workers

Visuals & Art

The following rooms have had dynamic shadows enabled on their light sources:
- Barracks & Empire Barracks
- Archive & Empire Archive
- Garrison & Empire Garrison
- Lair & Empire Lair
- Slaughterpen & Empire Slaughterpen
- Beast Den
- Severral Stone Bridges
New Wall Decor has been added to the following rooms:
- Barracks & Empire Barracks
- Garrison & Empire Garrison
Additional wall meshses have been added to the empire version of the Slaughterpen.
An additional option has been added to the shadows option to enable more shadow casters on room and other lights
Spirit Workers & Soulbound Workers will no longer cast shadows (because they're ghosts)
Spirit Workers & Soulbound Workers now also feature worker lights with their team colour

Bug Fixes

Gregor Valench should now be placeable again in the map editor and god mode
Fixed incorrect shaders used on Slaughterpen Floor

That's about everything we have for you, for now. We hope that you'll appreciate these changes, and though WFTO is deep into maintenance mode we hope there will be time in the future to continue delivering some of these simple improvements. Please let us know if there are any problems with the latest patch as there's always room for some hotfixes to the above features.

New Worker Skin Details, Galacticare Release Date & WFTO Community News

Noontidesteam_community_announcementsworkshop

817d ago

Darkest Greetings Underlord, Beyond the walls of the dungeon the aether continues to churn and new discoveries are stumbled upon by your most loyal cultists. Read on to discover the latest developments from across the Aether.

New Worker Skin & Galacticare Release Date

Recently, incursions from a previously undiscovered realm have been occurring all over Kairos — metal clad invaders, no larger than a Skarg, have breached the defenses of the dungeon. Fortunately they proved to be unbelievably inept fighters, waving their arms as if to greet our defenders with cheer. When the dust settled, the ones which weren’t rendered to scrap metal retreated to the breach from whence they came. The remains of those left behind are now donned by your loyal workers. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4422470/3d9cf740b48fda14454db41a792e4c3150f378f7.jpg This new skin will be available for free to all Underlords who acquire a copy of the video game Galacticare for themselves. So rest not on your laurels Underlord, the time is nearly upon us. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4422470/49ccf2b861f939fdc32079523f7e342ad7f11380.gif Our Cultists have scried this realm through the Aether and, to our shock, have discovered an advanced civilisation that seems obsessed with, of all things, helping others. Sickening stuff really. See for yourself Underlord. What’s more, it seems their metal spies returned knowledge of our activities to their world, and have seemingly adopted the aspect of the ignoble blood imp. To what purpose we are unsure, perhaps a fetishistic tribute to their new foe? {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4422470/57675b4213595c8f11dfe0a185e2629d90147716.jpg In any case, a new adventure awaits beyond the Aether; you need only take the leap. https://store.steampowered.com/app/494730/Galacticare/ Galacticare is releasing on May 23rd at 07:00 PDT / 10:00 EDT / 14:00 UTC / 15:00 BST / 16:00 CEST / 23:00 JST.

WFTO Community Spotlight

But perhaps your attentions remain somewhat closer to home, and an invasion of some far-off realm does not yet excite you. While our foundries lie quietened, and the attentions of the development chunders are focused on the void, other Underlords have been busy crafting devious realms with which to test your mettle. Here’s a selection of such creations from the workshop. As always, featured authors will receive the coveted Golden Imp.

Keepers Comeback - Campaign by Padelboot
Oberon Reforged - Campaign by 123

Geforce Now Support, Regional Pricing Updates & Unity...

Noontidesteam_community_announcementshide_store

1053d ago

Darkest Greetings Underlord, We have a couple of short, almost businessy, announcements for you today, first a long requested service becoming available at last and second some updates regarding War for the Overworld’s regional pricing which may see the price of the game increase to parity with Steam’s recommendations in some regions.

Geforce Now Availability

As of this week and by popular request, War for the Overworld is finally available on Geforce Now! Geforce now is a cloud gaming platform that allows players to connect to their accounts with various PC storefronts (including Steam) and stream games that they own straight from Nvidia's servers to any compatible device! With WFTO being added to the lineup of games available on the service you can now build your dungeons practically anywhere you can think of without needing to carry your PC with you. We’ve heard from the people who’ve been playing this week that it handles very well and that it works great. So if you’re a Geforce Now member then be sure to check it out!

Regional Pricing Updates

Way, way back in 2017 we posted an update on War for the Overworld’s regional pricing in the name of transparency, we even accidentally leaked news of the upcoming addition of the Australian dollar! Whoops! Today we’re returning to the topic and updating our regional prices once more and we wanted to be as transparent as possible of what this process is and how it affects you.

What is happening?

For those uninitiated, pricing on Steam is based on the USD price for any game, set by the developer and advised by Valve. The myriad of other currencies that Steam also supports are also set on the developer side and again are advised by Valve on the basis of the purchasing power of said regions vs USD. Back in 2017 we opted to align all regions to the advised pricing given to us by Valve with a critical exception, we chose to forego any changes that would increase the price of the game in any given region. Today we have reached a point where we must again revisit our regional pricing, this time to align it fully with Valve’s recommendations, which means many currencies will see the price of the base game and expansions increase (along with a small handful of decreases for DLC pricing in some regions). For full clarity: The base USD price is not changing, only pricing in other currencies. Affected Currencies:

GB Pounds (£) - 22.99 -> 24.99
Euros (€) - 27.99 -> 28.99
Russian Rubles (pуб) - 499 -> 1,100
Brazillian Reals (R$) - 55.99 -> 88.99
Japanese Yen (¥) - 2,980 -> 3,400
Indonesian Rupiah (Rp) - 139,999 -> 245,999
Malaysian Ringgit (RM) - 51.00 -> 72.00
Philippine Peso (P) - 649.95 -> 910.00
Thai Baht (฿) - 379 -> 590
Vietnamese Dong (₫) - 249,998 -> 385,000
Korean Won (₩) - 31,000 -> 32,000
Turkish Lira (TL) - 49 -> 280
Ukranian Hryvnia (₴) - 379 -> 600
Mexican Peso (Mex$) - 269.99 -> 334.99
Canadian Dollar (CDN$) - 32.99 -> 38.99
Australian Dollar (A$) - 42.95 -> 43.95
New Zealand Dollar (NZ$) - $35.99 -> 43.59
Norwegian Krone (kr) - 200 -> 335
Polish Zloty (zł) - 107.99 -> 138.99
Swiss Francs (CHF) - 29 -> 33.50
Chinese Yuan (¥) - 88 -> 108
Indian Rupee (₹) - 699 -> 1300
Chilean Peso (CLP$) - 11,500 -> 15,500
Peruvian Sol (S/.) - 53 -> 63
Colombian Peso (COL$) - 39,500 -> 70,000
South Afriacan Rand (R) - 175 -> 270
Hong Kong Dollar (HK$) - 129 -> 187
Taiwanese Dollar (NT$) - 438 -> 488
Saudi Arabian Riyal (SR) - 46.95 -> 61.49
Argentine Peso (ARS$) - 329.99 -> 2,100.00
Kazakhstani Tenge (₸) - 3,900 -> 7,600
Qatari Rial (QR) - 59.99 - 64.99
Uruguayan Peso ($U) - 619 -> 885

Why is this happening?

The root of this is changes to Steam’s minimum price thresholds that Valve put into place last month, and the recommended pricing changes published in October 2022. War for the Overworld’s pricing in several regions has now become so divergent from Steam’s recommendations that in some cases, where markets have shifted substantially, there’s quite a substantial gap between the recommendation and the prices we have listed. While this isn’t necessarily a big issue on the face of it, the price has dropped so low in some regions (vs USD pricing) that we can no longer discount certain products without locking some regions out of being able to buy that content at all. It also goes without saying that WFTO is still our only released product (at least until Galacticare releases next year!) and it represents the only income stream we have, and we believe that both the game and expansions are priced very fairly - especially as we regularly run fairly deep discounts. But in many regions this fair price is not accurately reflected, accounting for changes in markets, inflation, and purchasing power since the prices were originally set in 2015. This means that the price is “fair” in some regions and “more fair” in others. Therefore in respect to wanting to be fair to both ourselves and our customers and to resolve the issue with not being able to offer discounts on some products we have decided the best course of action is to apply Steam’s recommendations across the board. Of course we know that some of these swings may look quite extreme, but this is because we have maintained the price at parity with 2015 levels for so long (and refused to increase any pricing in 2017). Edit (15/09/2023) - We wanted to confirm that we will be reviewing these prices more regularly going forwards following these increases, we'll be looking to Valve's recommendations for decreases to help allay some of these as the global market settles. Edit (17/09/2023) - We're continuing to engage in the discussions for this topic to provide additional explanation and context on the why and how of this. If you'd like to know more be sure to check out some of our posts. We hope that clarifies why we’ve taken this decision and we apologize for any disruption caused to those of you who shop in the affected currencies.

Final Words

If there’s anything you still want to buy and these pricing changes affect you then rest assured that the game and its DLC will be on sale again in the near future. Steam’s policy wisely prevents games going on sale for 30 days after a price adjustment, but we will be placing it on sale as soon as possible. Finally, as we’re sure this question will be asked, for the time being we are not planning adjustments to the base game price, as mentioned above we still feel the game is fairly priced as our only revenue stream and this is especially so when it is on sale! Hopefully that clarifies everything there is to know about the regional pricing update! If you have any questions please feel free to comment!

A Reflection on Unity

Finally as we’re here and given recent events some of you may be wondering about our relationship with Unity and how their announced changes may impact us, WFTO and Galacticare. Our official statement went out on our socials a few hours before this post: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4422470/9cf21cd65e624a8c9d9eb3b3c221c41c4751bf31.png The impact of these changes from Unity’s side cannot be overstated, this is going to severely impact many developers who rely upon the engine for their work. It is unlikely that we will be working with Unity for the future after the release of Galacticare even if this requires significant retooling and retraining on our part. It is not that we are opposed to paying a fair fee for the tools we use, we have been paying significant sums for Unity for the majority of our 12 years in partnership with them. But the way this is being leveraged and the failure to consider the potential risks and edge-cases in their chosen model while ignoring the concerns of the partners means we can no longer see a future with them. We hope that our customers will continue to support the developers of games you love that have brought great experiences to you via the Unity Engine for the last decade. Many studios will be in a similar position to us and will be carefully considering their options on the road ahead. Update 15/09/2023 - Just a small clarification that this new policy from Unity does not currently directly impact War for the Overworld in its current state, because it would fall below Unity's yearly revenue requirements. So there's no impact here for WFTO. WFTO is not going anywhere. We are simply stating our displeasure and our intentions to move away from Unity for future projects, as stated it's not a matter of not being willing to pay a fair price, it's the principle that Unity would foist this massive change in fees upon developers and apply it retroactively to old projects, running massively deprecated versions of Unity, despite assurances this kind of thing would never happen. It's not the idea, though the exact implementation is poorly thought out and full of holes, it's the principle that Unity is not a trust worthy partner anymore, which is deeply, deeply upsetting.

Darkest Greetings Underlord, Far above the warmth of your dungeon, something stirs in its antipode; cold, unfeeling beings, drifting in the void, “tending”, and “tinkering”, and mopping up strange vomit, and driven overall by the benign intent to “make things better”. Sickening, really.

A New Worker Skin is Coming?

These feckless automatons have managed to reach our realm of Kairos through tears in the fabric of space. Fortunately, our creatures reacted appropriately to the intrusion of these machines, and have bashed every such intruder to death with hammers. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4422470/fab44960d7455fdc805494fe9dfb886853ac635c.png An early look at the new skin. Coming this year for owners of Galacticare! Your workers are now busy havesting the dead machines’ steel, Underlord, and you’ll soon get to see them adorn their meaty bodies with the metals harvested from these useless, smiling invaders when the tome known as Galacticare is safely stored within your Steam “Archive” following its release later this year. No doubt we shall also find some way to make your presence known in their world as well Underlord… speaking of which.

Galacticare Demo

Rest assured that the time will come when our powers will wax once more, but for now we must bide our time and observe. Fortunately our cultists have developed a way to pierce the aether so that you may partake in a “demonstration” of the latest developments for the next few days while the Steam Fest runs. Indeed until the 26th of June you may now experience this “Galacticare” for free via the Steam demo.

Galacticare Gameplay Streams

Should you find yourself short on time, or wish to speak to the development imps we have sent forth to survey this new realm, then you can join them via the gameplay streams on Twitch, Youtube and Steam:

Wednesday June 21st @ 18:30 UTC (20:30 CEST / 11:30 PDT)
Saturday 24th @ 23:30 UTC / (00:30 CEST / 16:30 PDT)

1180d ago

Darkest Greetings Underlords, After a long period of silence, we’d like to provide an update as to what we’ve been doing the past few years. This post is being crossposted from the new Galacticare development blog, where we also just posted a first look at our alien species, but future posts won’t appear on WFTO pages. If you’d like to receive further updates from us, please be sure to wishlist & follow Galacticare on Steam, join us on Discord, follow us on Twitter, and sign up to our newsletter. We hope you will join us on our journey to the stars, and although WFTO is very much in maintenance mode with the release of the final update (Patch 2.1) last year, rest assured that the dark, homely, depths of the underworld are never far from our evil hearts. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4422470/ef09350192b5351cb768b7a696dfb82f3371f59c.gif Patch 2.1’s graphics & performance Improvements were a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one Now without further ado, Read on Underlords! ---------------- I’m Josh: resident Brightrock robot, creative director of Galacticare, and primary author of these blog posts. Over the coming months, we’ll be diving into the features, characters, gameplay, world, and development of the game. We’ll give you insights into what Galacticare is, why we made it this way, and how we’ve grown along the journey. The post you are about to read focuses on the past, and what brought us here as a studio. We’re going to take a stroll through the last few years and talk about our road from War for the Overworld, to the inspirations for Galacticare, and squeeze in some updates from the studio. For those of you unfamiliar with our history, I’d like to start by providing links to a few blog posts, videos, and interviews.

We’ve not provided much of an update from the studio since then - so let’s dig into the past few years and the road to Galacticare.

Galacticare

We first started talking about Galacticare (or “Project Star Wards”) in 2015, shortly after the initial release of War for the Overworld. Although we still had a long way to go in order to fully realise our ambitions for WFTO, we couldn’t stop ourselves from theorising about future projects in parallel. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43759370/eda8eed6a6e424d2dca00531ed3b25395e6d0d1c.jpg Early concept art for Project Star Wards A very common request from our fans during (and after) the development of WFTO was that we revisit other legendary Bullfrog and Lionhead titles. Theme Hospital was at the top of that list, both for us and the community. However, we wanted to do more than create another spiritual successor (not that there’s anything wrong with that - we just wanted more of a challenge!), our desire was to push the boundaries of the management game genre and create something unique. So, we had a hospital and a broad goal. What next? {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43759370/da9659058bca79729060947fa30090f01bedfedf.gif Let’s consider the core building blocks of the hospital management experience: patients, diseases, and treatments. What better way is there to push the boundaries of these concepts than by setting the game in space? Aliens, exotic diseases, crazy treatment technologies? Yes please. However, an exciting setting alone isn’t going to push the genre forwards. For that, we needed to go deeper. What other elements did we want to add to the mix? What else did we want to look at for inspiration? {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43759370/db3f4ede33e4598b888d2f3689803a2f9f20cf2e.jpg There were many answers to that question, and throughout our team’s discussions the overarching theme was that we wanted to create a much more cohesive experience than the genre typically provided. As opposed to traditional management games, we didn’t want to create a series of independent, semi-sandbox levels with no interconnection. We wanted to create a longer adventure that you, the player, are actually a part of. We wanted you and your capabilities to grow as the game progressed. We wanted you to feel like you were inside a real (albeit ridiculous) universe. We’re bringing a mix of god-game and RPG mechanics into the hospital management genre... This led to us exploring numerous gameplay systems and narrative features to build up the rich connective tissue which binds together the systems, content, and stories of Galacticare. We’ll be exploring plenty of these systems and features on this blog over the coming months! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43759370/f37be996df2d75d2293392b9d37752c064c605b7.jpg Another key goal was that each level should feel like an episode of a comedic sci-fi anthology. We wanted everything to feel characterful - not just the doctors, patients and mission givers, but also the rooms and everything else, all the way down to the individual conditions that your patients are suffering from. In order to achieve this, we needed to continue our strong use of voice talent that started in War for the Overworld. Every character and all dialogue in the game will be fully voiced. We’re happy to announce that we’ll have several returning cast members from WFTO, along with a few newcomers - the first of which is Ben Kearns. We can’t wait to reveal more of the cast! We also wanted to evolve the gameplay side of things. We’re bringing a mix of god-game and RPG mechanics into the hospital management genre by giving the player an ever-growing arsenal of tools and unique hero characters. This is the area we’re most excited to talk about in this blog, so keep your eyes peeled for more updates.

Updates from the Studio

However, the future remained mostly on the backburner until we released patch 2.0 for WFTO in 2018, at which point we moved most of the team over to Galacticare. And then for a while, we stuck our heads down and worked in peace and quiet - until 2020, when the Coronavirus pandemic turned the world upside down. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43759370/943f87e52731573c5d238c2c71459580f8b10aca.jpg We switched to remote working as soon as it hit the UK, thinking we’d only be home a few months. As we’ve all since learned, the universe had other plans. Over the next few months we evolved and reinvented many of our practices and processes. We had to rethink how we reviewed each other's work - no longer could we simply walk across the office and peek over a shoulder. We were also able to change how we approached meetings, as it became more practical for team members to listen in whilst still being at their desk and working. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43759370/a5de1ea044e32d4cb353dc826925bcbfe9d7340c.png Some of our Discord channels at the time this post was being written. Although we already made extensive use of Slack, the video calling features weren’t able to keep up with our needs. We also spent some time with Google Meet and, eventually, moved over to Discord. The permanent voice channel structure was a huge hit within the team; it let us easily stay in contact with each other, demo our work using screenshare, and even communicate with our development partners. Towards the end of the year we made the decision to go remote permanently, and decided to donate the remainder of the lease to our neighbours on the floor below us - the wonderful Clocktower Sanctuary (a frequent recipient of GamesAid funding) - as they needed additional space to maintain social distancing whilst continuing their vital work. Going fully remote has given us the benefit of being able to freely recruit from further afield. As a result, several new face (and one returning face) have joined the team! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43759370/60e39cb610919ef90a83238a7f6a13321c173779.png Say hi to the expanded crew! Something we knew we wanted to do this time around was work with a publishing partner. While we enjoyed the experience of releasing WFTO solo… it was a lot of work, and publishing a game really does distract from its development. We spoke with quite a few publishers over the years, many of which we admired, but could never find a set of terms that we were comfortable with. We had resigned to the fact that we wouldn’t be able to find a publisher that we’d be happy working with… until CULT reached out to us last year. We immediately hit it off, they wanted the same things we did - to make cool things and have fun. Within a few months we’d signed a deal. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43759370/3991126d29937cdb298c83458d80a3ba475d0719.jpg We're not far from each others' offices, as CULT is located in the heart of London. And with all that, we were at long last finally ready to announce the game! Which is exactly what we did a few months ago:

Aliens?

Eager to learn more about Galacticare? You’re in luck! Today we’ve published not one, but two blog posts. The second is a deep dive into the gameplay, narrative, and visuals of some of the alien species in the game. Check it out here.

Want to help us improve Galacticare?

We're starting to ramp up testing and, just like we did with War for the Overworld, we'd love to get the community involved in giving us feedback on bugs, balancing, and everything else in order to help make our game as good as it can be. Recently we've opened up very pre-early alpha builds to a small group of community testers, and we'd like to slowly grow this group over the coming months. If you'd like to get involved please head on over to our sign-up form.

Final Words

Game development is hard. We’ve been lucky to do it in the company of an amazing team, both in the past and now, and seeing the project we’ve dreamed of take its final shape is incredibly fulfilling - but ultimately, the thing we most look forward to is getting our game in the hands of the players we’re making it for. It’s been incredibly exciting to share bits of Galacticare with you over the past two months, and we’ve been amazed by the reception so far. We hope this has been an interesting insight into some of our goals for the project, its history, and where things are going from here. Until next time Director, - Brightrock Games ----------- Don’t forget to join us on Discord!

We're The Fools

Darkest Greetings Underlord, Is it strange to apologize for the lack of an unobligated yet fun yearly gaff? We’re honestly not sure. We’ve certainly never seen it happen but we can’t remain silent today. What we do know is that on this day, every year, without fail, we have pushed out jokes both big and small. We’ve had a lot of laughs with you and, over time, it became something of an institution - something many of you look forward to as much as we do. Each year we thought of ways to push the boat, to raise the bar on the years before or at least keep it high. It became a challenge for us to push ideas out there that made you, our players who are the reason we get to pursue our dreams, sensibly chuckle on your morning commute, say “Is this real? I unironically want this”, or even, on occasion, fool you entirely. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4422470/961451d3869046edf3c1c6967b0c26e4cb4e1a4b.png This is definitely a real game This year we’ve not been able to make it in time. It’s been a busy year with work on our upcoming new game Galacticare (Don't forget to wishlist!) taking a focus in preparation for its announcement last month. Before we knew it, it was the 31st of March, 3:30PM and we realized we had to do SOMETHING. We scrambled for ideas in a team-wide meeting, scratched some things together, knuckled down for a mad dash. But we didn’t want to disappoint you with something that fell short, and we feel you deserve a better laugh than...this. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4422470/eae94223358d418ba1da001451c3ec63f4e0151c.jpg Dr. Medichunder was unironically some of our finest work, For years, in each April Fools, we joked that Aftercare had been canceled, that we had a new plan entirely. Well this year the tables have indeed tabled and Aftercare, now Galacticare, has canceled April Fools. This year, we’re the fools. Next year it’ll be you. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4422470/8ea1ee9041f98e43bd5495a952f2fec455671754.png Dr. MEDIChunder isn't real, Dr. MEDIChunder can't hurt you.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4422470/b79ab703822db0a4f58ccd74a21a4ea3b8d9e891.png Darkest Greetings Underlords, If you were to cast your dark minds back to the year of 2019 you might remember brighter days or indeed darker ones. You might also remember the start of our partnership with Bandit Camp the devilishly delightful designers for Wicked Ones, a deeply realised free TTRP where you and your friends assume the role of evil dungeon dwelling denizens who through depraved acts of the dark heart expand their dungeon, plunder riches from the goodly folks of the above-lands and squash hapless heroes that wander into your domain. Why does that sound ever so familiar? https://wftogame.com/wp-content/uploads/WO-DungeonLayout-1024x768.jpg In any case last year our partnership bore fruit as the War for the Overwolrd campaign guide for Wicked Ones was unleashed. Allowing you to take explore the realm of Kairos as never before; through the guise of a tabletop RPG by building on top of Wicked One's all too familiar systems! https://wftogame.com/wp-content/uploads/20210907_210020-768x1024.jpg Better yet it is a product solely devoted to charity as all profits from this book for both ourselves and Bandit Camp are instead donated to Child's Play. In fact we're proud to say thus far we've raised $3380 for this grand cause, and soon we hope to break the $5000 barrier! https://wftogame.com/wp-content/uploads/WO-WFTO-1.jpg But there's more than this good news to share with you today. Indeed whilst we labour hard at our next game the folks at Bandit Camp have worked tirelessly towards their magnum opus.

Wicked Ones High-Quality Print Run Kickstarter

For the past few weeks Bandit Camp have been running their final (as far as we/they know) Wicked Ones kickstarter for an ultimate, collected release of Wicked Ones and its expansions physically realised in its greatest form yet via high-quality print-run. https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/037/988/429/1a9776ffad4d40990e7711e4aa4ac03f_original.png?ixlib=rb-4.0.2&w=680&fit=max&v=1658115081&gif-q=50&lossless=true&s=78d87f948736886634a7553889ea33ef This will deliver the books in a superbly high-detail greater than the print-on-demand releases previously run. Needless to say such an offering has neatly destroyed their initial goals

So why might this interest you?

Well firstly Wicked Ones is a great game that if you love Dungeon Management and TTRPGs we highly recommend you play. Secondly, the WFTO supplement for the game realises the WFTO style of gameplay better than any RPG we are familiar with. It's become a cult classic amongst the Bandit Camp community. Thirdly, the book includes the Dungeoneer's Guide to the Underworld, and as such is the only way to get this awesome collection of lore and art physically. https://wftogame.com/wp-content/uploads/20210907_122221-1024x768.jpg Finally, most crucially, that self-same supplement will as of a few days ago benefit from the same high-quality print-run as the other books as an improved add-on option. Still wholly for charity and we'll even throw in a free copy of WFTO for anyone who backs it. How's that for a trade deal?!

Time is ticking

But rest not on your laurels, for the end of the Kickstarter is fast approaching with just a week from writing remaining. This may be the last chance to grab such a high-quality release and save on the postage you might otherwise incur buying them separately. Find out more on the Kickstarter Page Bandit Camp have also made us aware that sometime in the near future print-on-demand options for hardcovers of their releases will soon be retired. So if you're hankering for a hard-cover book now is the best time to grab it! For our part we expect that this will be the last time we promote the WFTO Wicked Ones book, and though it will likely remain available via Drive Thru RPG indefinitely we wouldn't want you to miss out on this chance.

TL;DR

Wicked Ones, a dungeon-building, village pillaging, goodie bashing TTRPG from our friends Bandit Camp is having its final kickstarter for a High-quality print run.
We worked with them previously to make a WFTO supplement for Wicked Ones that translated the feeling of playing War for the Overworld into the TTRPG format.
This was wholly for charity, raising $3380 so far for Child's Play with $5000 quickly approaching.
This same supplement is available as an add-on to the print run in the same high-quality form as the rest of the books.
It's all still for charity, any profits either of us would get from the WFTO add-on go to child's play.
We're giving them Steam Keys for WFTO's base edition anyone who pledges for the WFTO add-on
It's likely the last chance to get this book in a high-quality hardcover print. Even the print-on-demand medium quality will be retired soon.
There's a week left to get it.
We won't be bothering you any more about this!

Patch 2.1 "Deeper Darker Dungeons" Release Notes

Noontidesteam_community_announcements

1573d ago

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4422470/ef09350192b5351cb768b7a696dfb82f3371f59c.gif Darkest Greetings Underlord, As promised a mere 11 days ago we have returned to this realm, dragging a surprise War for the Overworld patch kicking and screaming from the depths. This patch is a special one as it celebrates, somewhat belatedly, the 7th Anniversary of WFTO’s release and contains a few new features we, and you, might never have expected to see in WFTO. But first an introduction. I’m Lee, one of the designers and the community manager at Brightrock. I’m better known in the community as Noontide. I’d like to take a moment to talk about the patch and why it’s a bit larger than our intended scope for maintenance. A large part of this is a result of several months of on and off tinkering that I’ve been doing with the WFTO project. With input from my colleagues and assistance from the code team we’ve managed to wrap these changes up into this patch alongside the originally scheduled work and maintenance we had planned. All of this is to say that this patch is meatier than first anticipated but also a little experimental and I would invite your opinions on changes that are being made here. I expect this isn’t the last tinkering I will do with WFTO, but to set some reasonable expectations. I’m not a coder, I wasn’t involved in WFTO’s production directly and I’m still getting to grips with the project and its intricacies. A fair chunk of the work here involved a lot of help from others on the team who similarly supported me out of love and passion for the game. So please understand that the inclusion of some unexpected features doesn’t change our intended plans for WFTO’s maintenance cycle. Which remains primarily an exercise in keeping a wary eye out for serious issues, triaging and addressing them with short bursts of activity between our work on Project: Aftercare. With all that said I hope that you will enjoy the changes included in Patch 2.1 and you’ll keep an eye out for further news on Project: Aftercare this year :) Now onto the patch notes!

Patch Highlights

Real-Time Shadow Support

One of my deepest desires for many years has been to see the game with real-time shadows, the light from torches casting long shadows of workers passing through, structures casting equally imposing presence on the environment. Ideal for dark, gritty dungeons. https://wftogame.com/images/Incantation%20Shadows.gif There’s very real reasons why we never touched this. Frankly it’s super expensive performance wise, WFTO has a lot of dynamic lights already and each light is an expense, doubly so if they cast shadows. Then as time went on and performance generally improved, working backwards to introduce this was a non-starter because so much of the game had been done without it intended, as an example many objects that should have cast shadows, simply didn’t because they weren’t set up to. Anyway a lot of that work has been a focus of my efforts, and now this is now a supported graphical feature. Largely I focussed on structures: Dungeon Cores, Shrines or significant light sources like the hand of evil. If you enable shadows this is the bare minimum you get. http://wftogame.com/images/Tavern%20Hand%20Shadows.gif Some other shadow sources can also be optionally enabled, mostly this means corridor torches right now but may be expanded in the future to include room props and more if there’s enough performance headroom. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4422470/f7ae31dfe7509bec22c07ee09964a9d17e741786.gif Speaking of performance, it should be expected that this is a net-loss in performance if you enable this. I’ve provided options to help offset this and the recommended finds a nice middleground. But you can totally kill your FPS if you want to get the best looking picture, I just wouldn’t recommend it for moment to moment gameplay. http://wftogame.com/images/Perception%20Shrine%20Possession.gif

Visual Tone Overhaul

Part of my goals with my tinkering was to try and give the game a “deeper” atmosphere with an emphasis on feeling the effects of the terrain that surrounds you. First and foremost I wanted to communicate the sense that the player was underground with more oppressive shadows and lighting, whilst still allowing the player to see what they’re doing. It’s hard to communicate these changes so here’s a few comparison screenshots. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4422470/cfb2f27df4acf8ec971d588b57db473abed6c78c.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4422470/1c5687c3a098f1755f53725d86c00f48a288b335.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4422470/50a0855445c9743f2e6574c66ef68e90f16ca51f.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4422470/9bc4257b42284b52cbc3de510a063c386773de5a.jpg

Power Hand of Evil

Just over a year ago now we asked our Discord community whether they wanted to see the Power Hand of Evil, which was that year’s April Fools, make its way to the game. To say that the response was a resounding yes would be an understatement. So we finally got around to doing that. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4422470/6641dc2f120a09fb2456ae30c70012ad0c2c5cbb.jpg The new hand can be selected via the gameplay options menu.

UI Performance Optimisations

Thanks to feedback from the community we managed to isolate a few significant performance monsters in the UI. This should greatly improve the performance of the Main Menu but also parts of the in-game UI that are known to cause problems such as the units panel and veins of evil. In some brief logging I confirmed a significant 41.8% reduction in UI overhead on the main menu in a steam thread: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4422470/1a0c532e1d5cf53299435d71de824283ebdfb9c5.png Gains for the In-Game UI are more circumstantial but the unit panel in particular is much, much faster taking only 0.1ms to render down from 5ms when fully populated and in advanced mode. That’s a massive 5000% gain in performance!

(April Fools) Introducing our next game Cult of Duty! & WFTO v4.1

Noontidesteam_community_announcements

1584d ago

Rarest Greetings Underlords, Once again, we pop out from the dingy depths of our caverns and gaze upwards towards the untarnished and needlessly fungible Overworld! The surfacers’ schemes bring them ever closer to ruin, and we must merely wait until their weaknesses crumble their world down to bare stone. The Great Plan has long been in motion, and its tendrils now find purchase in the broader culture of the surfacers. This is the perfect time to strike, and the two blades of our strike are named: 1. Project: COD 2. Project: WFTO:NFTFTO Let us pull back the curtain and reveal screaming murder victim behind as we delve into our first Project. Project:COD also known as CULT OF DUTY: DUNGEON WARFARE.

Join the Cult of Duty

Cult of Duty: Dungeon Warfare is a brand new First Person Gun ’em Down (FPGED) from our crack team of developers that specialize in real-time strategy management games. In it you will assume the role of a nameless cultist burdened with an exceptional duty. Hence the name, you see you’re a cultist in a cult, and you have a duty. Pretty clever. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4422470/961451d3869046edf3c1c6967b0c26e4cb4e1a4b.png He’s looking this way! Quick burn the rest of his face off! We intend to completely redefine the genre of the FPGED, and we’ve spent literal years gathered around a chalkboard, generating ideas, writing on chalkboards, taking notes, eating chalk, and promoting synergy all to bring you a game that will truly change your perspective on the gaming world of First Person games. We know. You can’t believe it. It’s long overdue that someone redefines, innovates and revolutionises the FPGED space. Well, hold onto your flaps, because you’re about to get blasted with the sickest FPGED featureset you’ve ever seen:

An Armoury of Evil - Your cult is armed with an assortment of weapons, forged with steel and imbued with the magical power of blood. Choose from weapons such as the Sacrificial Dagger, The BAFU Launcher, the Power Hand of Evil™ and the Chunder Thunderer, the most powerful weapon in your Arse-nal.
A Campaign to Remember - Across fifteen expertly crafted levels experience an epic cinematic tale of love and betrayal, woven relationships and beautifully choreographed cutscenes that will leave you wanting more. Then when you’re done, jump on Netflix and binge our tie-in anime which concludes the story.
Bloody Magic - There’s more to being a cultist than sleeping, eating, collecting payday and performing occult rituals. Your own brand of magic will service you in addition to your weaponry, wield dozens of unique spells as you fight your way through the goodly forces of the surface world. But remember your magic is powered by blood, your blood.
Know Your Place - As the loyal servant of an Underlord you must never forget who your master is, worship them, praise them with your every working moment, when they slap you then you will feel pleasure like never before. Let them do it, embrace it, enjoy it. Yes, just like that, you like that don’t you my little minion… *ahem* where were we?
Defeat Greater Parts of Yourself - In the Massively Multiplayer mode Korvek Royale you’ll discover the canon backstory to Korvek, one of the most important and beloved characters in War for the Overworld. Fight other parts of yourself is a massive deathmatch as you take on the form of a lowly cultist amidst the twisted, fractured realm that Korvek calls home. Who will be winner winner micropiglet dinner?

Now before we forget we have big news for WFTO as well!

WFTO Patch 4.1 Preview: NFTs for the Overworld

We know you’re all desperate to get your hands on the Cult of Duty, but the demands of our artistic vision are so exacting that it’s going to take a bit more time to ship. We also know that all of you beautiful, gorgeous, charismatic fans deserve more than a “when it’s done” - so we’re also happy to reveal our original and uncompromised vision and finally provide you with the game WFTO was always meant to be. War for the Overworld: Non Fungible Tokens for the Overworld (WFTO:NFTFTO) is a radically new content experience in the video-game landscape. The industry at large has refused to acknowledge the power and labour of Gamers, and we at Brightrock think it’s far past time this was remediated. With WFTO:NFTFTO, the time you invest in WFTO:NFTFTO will be rewarded with novel, fun tokens which are unlocked upon the arrival of the minions in your dungeon. Minions have long had unique personalities, attributes, names, and backstories, all buried deep within the code for the original WFTO. In our new version, each minion summoned will be assigned a token, and if summoned into your dungeon, that token becomes yours - forever. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4422470/2056f6c40cc0bcc2eab74bfce116e7e30cfddeaf.jpg Some example chunderbois from our first minting. Get them while they’re hot, or not, being hot is a variation that can happen. Much value. Each minion token has an intrinsic value generated by the hash matrix of our new DungeonCoin crypto-market. This technology will allow you to trade minions between dungeons, or even sell them outright to new players. Do you have a Chunder who spends more time than usual in the Foundry? Is he called Jim? Have you spent nights tossing and turning on white-hot pillows, thinking about how desperately you want Chunder Jim to be your boyfriend? Well, in a year from now, Chunder Jim will be worth over five million dollars, and his token can be yours to own - provided that he gets summoned to your dungeon. What’s more, WFTO:NFTFTO will constantly hash new DungeonCoins as you play the game - and each successful hashing increases the value of all the DungeonCoins and minion tokens you own. Finally, you can actually enjoy playing a computer game, comforted by the knowledge that every hour spent playing has boosted the value of your Minion Wallet! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4422470/5d171cede93615271b951775240594612bc2e04f.gif Some of our chunderbois are fully animated! Great for showing off your investments to your “friends”. We can’t overstate how exciting it is to be spearheading this initiative to bring substantial product value to our fans and players, and we’re incredibly grateful that you’ve all stuck with us long enough for the true WFTO vision to be revealed. Keep hashing those Chunders, Underlords! Brightrock Games is not liable for any personal, interpersonal or hardware damage caused by the appropriation of your computer for the hashing of DungeonCoin. End user is solely liable for any incidents of overheating, melting, CPU fan explosions, thermal paste ingestion, boils, burns, bankruptcy, and any other outcomes of the proprietary DungeonCoin technology.

Cult of Duty FAQ

Q. If my Robe is reduced to 0% durability am I naked? In order to avoid affecting our ratings board scores (15) we are legally required to confirm the Cultist does indeed wear his skivvies in this case. However we plan to release a De-Censor DLC for £69.69 which will make your cultist appropriately naked. This comes with a free weapon! The Massive(ly exaggerated) Rod of Evil. Q. When I do a 360 quickscope upon my enemies, will I be rewarded with Experience Points? Yes. Every successful “Quickscope” will result in you being rewarded with Experience Points, which can be spent on unlocking attachments for your weapon of choice. Q. I enjoy playing video games, because it’s exciting when the marios bounces around. However, I often feel anxious that I’m wasting my time watching a computer character collect coins on the screen, which is where I watch the game on. Is there any solution to this? There is! The recent deployment of DungeonCoin allows you to generate value merely by playing our game - and then trade or sell your minions to other savvy consumers. Not a single minute spent in WFTO will be wasted, and the line always goes up! Q. I have lost the ability to go to the toilet by myself Until April 12th Underlords, – Brightrock Games Team Follow us on Steam!

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4422470/b79ab703822db0a4f58ccd74a21a4ea3b8d9e891.png Darkest Greetings Underlords, It has been some time hasn’t it? Rest assured that the dark work on our next project continues undeterred and unabated and that soon enough all shall be revealed to you. In the meantime we once more reach out to you across the aether to share news of interest. Specifically with regards to the culmination of our partnership with the most devious folks of Bandit Camp, and the long-awaited release of the War for the Overworld Campaign Guide for their excellent dungeon-building, surface-raiding, pen and paper RPG – Wicked Ones! But first, in case you missed the news. In late September we released patch 2.0.8 for War for the Overworld to fix a serious crash on startup issue on the latest intel CPUs. If you were affected by this crash or have had issues since, please check out this post. Now without further ado, onto the main event!

WFTO Meets Wicked Ones

Cast your mind back Underlords to the heady year of 2019, the year before the time of ending, before the great plague and before this humble community manager had aged into his 30s… Great times indeed… We had just started the early stages of development on our latest work when we received a most curious message from a Kickstarter Campaign. A pen and paper roleplaying game in which you control the dark denizens of a world in which they build, defend a dungeon, explore the world and raid the settlements of goodly heroes. We both agreed a dark partnership was in order. https://wftogame.com/wp-content/uploads/WFTOCover-Small-693x1024.jpg

Supporting Child’s Play

The War for the Overworld Campaign Guide for Wicked Ones is entirely a charitable endeavour. All proceeds from Brightrock Games, Bandit Camp and DriveThruRPG will be donated to the Child’s Play charity to help improve the lives of children through the power of play. That’s right 100% of our proceeds and that of our partners from sales of this book will be going to charity forever. Who said you can’t do good while doing a little evil?

War for the Overworld Campaign Guide for Wicked Ones

This Campaign Guide is a massive 81-page, full-colour tome and includes everything you need to know to place your games of Wicked Ones in the War for the Overworld universe, to build your Wicked One wholly as or inspired by one of our minions and to serve a great underlord (of your own design) as you strike out against together with your fellows against the goodly forces of the Empire. The Guide adjusts the core gameplay of Wicked Ones to bring it closer to the experience of playing War for the Overworld. With the unique mix of Roleplay, dungeon keeping and surface raiding there’s sure to whet any Underlord’s bloodthirsty tongue. https://wftogame.com/wp-content/uploads/WO-WFTO-1.jpg Don’t know what Wicked Ones is? Well you can read a bit about it below!

What’s Included in the Campaign Guide

The following is from the Wicked Ones product page. It details what is added to the Wicked Ones tabletop RPG with the book so that it plays more like WFTO. There's no exclusive WFTO in-game content associated with the book. Even for those who are not familiar with the War for the Overworld video game, this campaign guide has a lot to offer including new rules, a map. Also, as with Wicked Ones Deluxe Edition, all graphics in the book have been converted to high quality tokens and figures for VTT play and do-it-yourself printing. The campaign itself and the factions are well described within the book, which makes for great inspiration even without experience playing WFTO. ● A new sandbox map for Wicked Ones, Mount Desmos, with a detailed scenario focusing on underground raids before bursting forth into the Overworld. ● Underlords, powerful spirits from the Aether, leading your dungeon. They’re a single character shared by the entire group and can cast spells and compel their minions towards action. Their abilities replace the core function of a dungeon. https://wftogame.com/wp-content/uploads/WO-WFTO-2.jpg ● A dungeon core at the center of your dungeon. Located on the first level, it replaces the sanctum and second level of the dungeon. Defend it well, because if it falls, your Underlord is banished from the realm. ● Shrines and portals littering the Underworld, discovered while tunneling to the edges of the map to go on raids. ● 12 beasts from WFTO to serve your dungeon as creatures and a new way to bring them along on raids with you when necessary. ● 3 powerful titans that can be summoned by acquiring the Kenos artifact and finishing a tier 3 ritual. Each titan has its own unique bonus. ● 10 unit archetypes and new primal abilities to build WFTO-style PCs with. ● 15 heroes of the Empire, adventurers strongly connected to the factions within and around Mount Desmos. ● Active participation in dungeon defense by the PCs, who make a placement roll as an invasion occurs just like their minions do. Once you become aware of the invasion, you are free to move about the dungeon making invasions much more chaotic and dynamic. ● The Dungeoneer’s Guide to the Underworld, an in-world field guide for the evil and good units in War for the Overworld written by Brightrock Games. This was previously available to those that bought the Underlord Edition of the game, but has been made available for inclusion with this supplement to give GMs and players way more background information on the denizens of Kairos. https://wftogame.com/wp-content/uploads/WO-WFTO-3.jpg

Print on Demand Physical Copies

https://wftogame.com/wp-content/uploads/20210907_210020-768x1024.jpg The Campaign Guide is available in both digital and print-on-demand physical formats, naturally this means you can get both an awesome supplement to the Wicked Ones game but also for the first time ever get your hands of evil on a physical copy of the Dungeoneer’s Guide to the Underworld which is included in the book. The Hardback format and excellent print-quality make these truly great additions to any Underlord’s collection. https://wftogame.com/wp-content/uploads/20210907_122055-1024x768.jpg Just check out these awesome pictures of the physical book in person! https://wftogame.com/wp-content/uploads/20210907_121131-1024x768.jpg https://wftogame.com/wp-content/uploads/20210907_122144-1024x768.jpg https://wftogame.com/wp-content/uploads/20210907_122221-1024x768.jpg

PDF Only – $10.00
Hardcover, Premium – $25.09

As the name suggests this deal is only for today.

What is Wicked Ones?

Put simply, Wicked Ones is awesome but for a more objective description we’ll turn to the folks at Bandit Camp to summarise! https://wftogame.com/wp-content/uploads/WO-Brute-1024x768.jpg WICKED ONES is a Forged in the Dark tabletop RPG about a group of fantasy monsters building a dungeon, launching raids on the surface to gather a hoard, and pursuing your nefarious master plan. Along the way, there’s pillaging, rituals, concoctions, contraptions, discoveries deep in the ground, dungeon rooms, traps, creatures, minions, and so much more! You build your dungeon over time throughout the campaign and no two dungeons will ever be alike. https://wftogame.com/wp-content/uploads/WO-Minions-1024x768.jpg You bask in choosing the greater of two evils as your group strives to accomplish its master plan and terrorize the region around your dungeon. However, your vile deeds lure increasingly greedy and powerful adventurers into your dungeon. Can you stave off the inevitable onslaught of heroism that your notoriety brings? https://wftogame.com/wp-content/uploads/WO-DungeonLayout-1024x768.jpg If you’d like to find out more then be sure to drop into the Bandit Camp Discord! And remember you can try the game entirely for Free with the Free Edition! Lastly in the interests of supporting the wonderful talent at Bandit Camp we’d like to make you aware of their next endeavour Relic, which is currently in the pre-Kickstarter phase. That concludes our final update on this unique partnership. We hope that we can count on your support of the new product for Child’s Play and we hope that you enjoy playing Wicked Ones and especially the WFTO Supplement! Finally all that remains is for us to wish you all a great remainder of 2021 while we look forward to pulling back the curtain on Project: Aftercare in 2022!

Patch 2.0.8 Release Notes

https://wftogame.com/wp-content/uploads/Archon-Blank.gif

Patch Highlights

Edit 22/09/2021: We've become aware that a small number of users now have a different crash on startup in v2.0.8 please read this thread on how you can help and how to workaround the crash for now.

Engine Update & Major Crash Fix

Last year we began receiving reports that the game was instantly crashing upon launch on certain PCs. Upon investigation we found that this issue affected all users with Intel CPUs of 10th Generation or newer. Once we acquired an affected PC we confirmed that this issue was a seeming incompatibility with the Unity Engine version WFTO was built upon as a blank project in that same version would yield the same crash. Through the stellar work of our code team we've completed the tumultuous move to a newer version of the Unity Engine from 5.4.6 to 5.6.7. This addresses the crash and allows War for the Overworld to run as intended on these machines with no workarounds required. Great care has been taken to ensure that the player experience should be unaffected by this move but engine updates, even ones as seemingly minor as this are often very involved and rarely done once a game is launched. We would therefore ask you to remain aware of any changes in behaviour in the game and report any issues directly to us via Userecho. We'd like to thank all the fans on our Discord server who helped test this new patch on the beta branch.

Unity Engine updated from version 5.4.6 to 5.6.7, addressing a serious crash on Intel CPUs.

Gameplay / Balance Changes

Units

New Unit - Unbound Ghoul

Grab the Power Hand of Evil™

1949d ago

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4422470/6641dc2f120a09fb2456ae30c70012ad0c2c5cbb.jpg Most Overdue Greetings Underlord, It has been some time since we shared news from within the fortified walls of the Brightrock foundry but for good reason! Our Augres have been hard at work crafting the true form of Project: Aftercare and it is the thing you’d least expect… That’s right Brightrock has long since left the software space and we’re now entering the hardware race. So with an exultant howl we present to you at last Project: Aftercare or more accurately THE POWER HAND OF EVIL™!

Meet the POWER HAND™ OF EVIL

We know that many of our Underlords have longed for the day where they could reach into their dungeon and pluck their minions from its dark corridors and drop them elsewhere, or even deliver a hefty slap of your own. https://wftogame.com/wp-content/uploads/screenshot008-1024x576.png Well with the POWER HAND OF EVIL™ you can do just that, simply don it’s moulded plastic form and you’ll be able to reach directly into your screen and enact your godly will directly. Note: This may be an exaggeration, we do not recommend actually reaching directly into your screen. The POWER™ HAND OF EVIL features full finger tracking, and emotive motion sensing engines; it is fully compatible with all your favourite War for the Overworld actions and with the full power of your normal UI functions you’ll quickly find yourself throwing your keyboard and mouse out the window for this vastly superior control scheme. You can probably even use it in other titles, though we’re not sure why you’d be playing anything other than War for the Overworld, the greatest game ever made.

Handy Features

Grab, Drop, Slap and Flick for Victory - Your hand movements are perfectly translated directly into the game. Pinch your fingers to pick up, wave your hand to slap and even utilise new flick functionality to drive your minions forward over long distances!
Place, Cast, Rally - The power of your UI is at your fingertips! You can select rooms, place flags and cast spells using the handy, dandy keyboard embedded into the hand of evil.
Hot Swappable Keys - We realise that options are power in the hardware space and fundamentally there’s too many awesome things in WFTO to fit on one gauntlet. To that end you can purchase key packs which contain random keys for WFTO Aspects, pry your room keys off and replace them for instant access! Naturally you can also find “Shiny” RGB keys in the packs. Gotta get ‘em all!

Wicked Ones Releases!

Back in June 2019 we were proud to put our support behind Wicked Ones, an innovative and ambitious tabletop RPG which neatly translates the dungeon building concept into a roleplaying experience. https://wftogame.com/wp-content/uploads/WO-Brute-1024x768.jpg With the help of our Underlords they managed to hit their Kickstarter goals and more, unlocking not just all their stretch goals but also goals which unlocked access to WFTO themed content for the game! We are pleased to announce that our devilish friends at Bandit Camp have now released the core rules for the game, which have achieved great success over at Drive Thru RPG, hitting #2 on the best selling charts! https://wftogame.com/wp-content/uploads/WO-DungeonLayout-1024x768.jpg So what are you waiting for Underlord? Grab some of your fellow lords, a copy of the Wicked Ones rules and a virtual table top and explore this awesome game right now! https://wftogame.com/wp-content/uploads/Front-WO.png Buy Wicked Ones now at Drive Thru RPG! WICKED ONES is a Forged in the Dark tabletop RPG about a group of fantasy monsters building a dungeon, launching raids on the surface to gather a hoard, and pursuing your nefarious master plan. Along the way, there's pillaging, rituals, concoctions, contraptions, discoveries deep in the ground, dungeon rooms, traps, creatures, minions, and so much more! You build your dungeon over time throughout the campaign and no two dungeons will ever be alike. You bask in choosing the greater of two evils as your group strives to accomplish its master plan and terrorize the region around your dungeon. However, your vile deeds lure increasingly greedy and powerful adventurers into your dungeon. Can you stave off the inevitable onslaught of heroism that your notoriety brings? https://wftogame.com/wp-content/uploads/WO-Minions-1024x768.jpg As for the War for the Overworld content? Well rest assured that's still on the horizon, we are in talks with Bandit Camp for the next phase as development ramps up on the splatbook to bring your games of Wicked Ones into the setting of War for the Overworld! You'll be able to build your dungeon as an Underlord, possess your very own minions and crush the goodly forces of the Empire as you race to establish your notoriety within Kairos! https://wftogame.com/wp-content/uploads/7b7b8cd4ebade6c343e37d23caa43674_original.png We'll be sure to keep you informed as we approach release! That's all for now Underlords, all that remains is to wish you and your families a safe and hopefully more stable 2021, we'll see you soon...

Studio Update & Q3 Community Spotlight

Noontidesteam_community_announcementsworkshop

2155d ago

https://wftogame.com/wp-content/uploads/Dev-Stream.gif Darkest greetings Underlords, As the world above battles with the seemingly cursed year that is 2020. The crash of steel on reverberates through the long-dormant halls of the Underworld. Hushed whispers on cultists lips carry words of great works undertaken by skilled artificers; and that something greater still is being forged in the furnaces of the deep. It is time once more Underlord to delve into the untold depths to uncover the deeper dungeons and shimmering gems, crafted by your fellow underlords. But before you do let us first regale you with what news returns from those pesky development imps, shuttered away as they are in the darkest levels of the dungeon.

Updates from the Studio Floor(s)

We know it's been some time since we provided you with updates on the state of affairs at Brightrock and we know many of you are curious and even worried about us at the studio, especially with the challenges that many are facing in the current climate. We honestly appreciate the messages of concern we've received and we'd first like to assure everyone that we are all well and working hard on Project Aftercare. On the state of our studio here are the highlights:

Given ongoing Covid-19 Pandemic, we're continuing to encourage our developers to work at home and expect this will continue for the foreseeable future.
Baring some initial challenges, adjusting to work from home has not greatly affected our productivity and we are still hard at work on Project Aftercare.
We are using this as a trial period to determine whether a permanent change could be ultimately beneficial for us as individuals and as a studio.

We are fortunate in many ways that we have lots of experience with working from homes and the transition was largely smooth. What impact there has been to production is slight. This brings us to the state of the project itself. We realise that we have been radio silent for a long time beyond some initial teases. There are many reasons for this, primarily that we want to focus all our energy into making the game, and we are fortunately in a position to do so. Here’s what you need to know:

Work continues apace on Project: Aftercare and the game is shaping up well.
We cannot announce anything specific right now but we hope to be sharing more news with you in the coming year.
We're continuing to expand the team with additional talent and working with new contractors to shape up various areas of the game.

We know that news on the game has been a long time coming and we thank you for your patience, we're working hard to ensure that when we can finally share more details it'll have been worth the wait!

Quarter 3 Community Spotlight

WFTO'S 5th Birthday! Feat. Sale, Spotlight & Worker Skin

Noontidesteam_community_announcementsworkshop

2313d ago

Darkest Greetings Underlords, We hope you enjoyed our April Fool’s yesterday! It’s always a pleasure to work on something totally out there for a few days. Today we’re coming to you with different news entirely and a whole lot more genuine! As some of you may know, War for the Overworld launched from early access on April 2nd, 2015. That means that today is officially War for the Overworld’s fifth birthday! Incredible isn’t it? Five years ago we launched a game that was already three years in the making (or well over a decade, depending on who you ask!). But what that basically means is that WFTO has been around one helluva long time! That journey has been a transformative one for us here at Brightrock. So much of our lives have been defined by War for the Overworld for so long that many of us forgot what the surface world actually looked like. Here’s what we’re doing to mark the occasion!

Fifth Birthday Sale!

In celebration of War for the Overworld hitting its first major milestone, we’re working with Steam to put the game and DLC on its biggest sale yet, and for a whole week! That’s right! We’re bringing the game down deeper than even any Underlord’s home realm, to numbers never before seen! If you’ve still not completed your collection, or you know someone that would make a great Underlord, then now is the time to check it out via the links above. Here are the all-important numbers:

War for the Overworld - 85% off
Underlord Edition - 85% off
Ultimate Edition - 73% off
Heart of Gold Expansion - 75% off
My Pet Dungeon Expansion - 50% off
The Under Games Expansion - 25% off
Seasonal Worker Skins - 50% off

We probably won’t see numbers like this again for a while so be sure to grab them while they’re lava-hot!

Spring Community Spotlight

Every quarter we bring together our favourite maps from across the War for the Overworld community, and we thought that tying this into the anniversary would only make things more convenient for you. https://wftogame.com/wp-content/uploads/Spotlight-Q2-2020.jpg This quarter’s spotlight contains a cavalcade of content ready for your twisted exploration: Deathmatch Levels

Mandala by Korvek
Mandala 4 by Korvek

If we feature your creation we'll send you a code for the elusive Golden Worker Skin!

Oni Ashigaru Worker Returns!

As the sakura petals bloom marking the arrival of Hanami to Japan, the Oni Ashigaru worker has returned from his ronin adventures. He now stands ready to carve a path through the earth and anyone that stands in the way of his new master - if you can secure his fealty. https://wftogame.com/wp-content/uploads/OniAshigaruWorker-1-1024x576.png Remaining from now until the end of April, this exclusive time-limited worker skin will be available to all players for free if you launch the game during this time. Once you have him, he will remain with you in perpetuity, such is his sworn loyalty. Act fast however, because if you miss the arrival of this wandering warrior, then come the end of April he will be gone for another year! https://wftogame.com/wp-content/uploads/Worker-Strategy.gif That concludes all of the festivities! Thank you all for your support over the last five years, and from even before then as well! Please look out for further announcements from Brightrock in 2020! And to all of you, please stay safe throughout the Covid-19 outbreak. Team Brightrock have returned to our roots and gone fully remote for the time being, so we can all work from home. Be sure to follow the recommended advice from your government, and we’ll see you all on the other side!

Coming Soon: Street Fight for the Overworld (April Fools!)

Noontidesteam_community_announcements

2314d ago

https://wftogame.com/wp-content/uploads/Street-Fight-Banner.png

Auspicious Greetings Underlord, The long wait is finally over! The time has come and your patience is to be justly rewarded. Indeed we are ready to pull back the curtain and reveal the totally true identity of Project: Aftercare! But first we must address the elemental in the treasure room. It’s been made clear to us that those among our learned comrades of the PC Gaming Elite, as most of our fans are, have no need for console editions of existing games. The fog now serenely lifted from our folly by your cold, hard feedback, we have taken the right course and cancelled the upcoming Sony PlayStation release of War for the Overworld. https://wftogame.com/wp-content/uploads/Rad-to-Be-Bad-Pat-1024x976.jpg Who even owns a PlayStation anyway? With that much needed course correction now well and truly behind us, we needed to consider once more what it is that our most valued fans truly want... No... What is it they need? There can be only one answer! Introducing ULTRA Street Fight for the Overworld Hyper XX Accent Plus Double Overload Turbo!

Deadly Dungeon Combat Confirmed!

ULTRA Street Fight for the Overworld Hyper XX Accent Plus Double Overload Turbo (USFFTOHX2A+DOT for short) is the premier 2D fighting game from the team here at Brightrock. Looking at our core cast of characters we knew that the next big thing our fans would truly need is to see these devilishly diverse characters beat each other senseless. https://wftogame.com/wp-content/uploads/WFTO_SF-1024x576.png You’ll duke it out in richly-detailed environments straight from WFTO! You and up to one additional friend will pick from 20 wickedly awesome dungeon dwelling characters, all drawn from War for the Overworld’s pool of both Underlord and Empire units! Not only that, but each one will be realised in a jaw-dropping retro pixel-art style! Each character also features a full move set to call their own, from the blood-wielding cultist Brian to the ever charming and deeply disarming Lord of the Land, Lord O’Theland. There are even 3 hidden characters to unlock! https://wftogame.com/wp-content/uploads/Character-Select-v2-720p-up-Nearest-Neighbour-1024x576.png Here comes a new challenger! But what makes USFFTOHX2A+DOT truly unique and special in this highly competitive genre? Well we’re glad you asked gentle beat ‘em up aficionado! In addition to choosing your character you’ll also pick a master for them, an Underlord if you will (or otherwise!) to command them in the arena and provide even more unique powers! For example, choosing Underlord Kasita as your master will grant your chosen warrior the “Blood Money” trait. This means that for every point of damage they do to the enemy you gain gold. This gold can then be spent between rounds or even mid-match for special boons such as:

Healing Potion - Buy a potion mid-match and chug it to immediately heal to full health.
Sentinel - Construct a Sentinel mid-match which will assist you for 10 seconds.
Bodyguard - Purchase another character from the character select screen to fight alongside you for the duration of the next round.
Match Rigging - You slip your opponent some cash to throw the match convincingly - their damage is reduced by 95% and instant kills are disabled.
Hitman - Your opponent is assassinated between rounds and you immediately win the match.

Kasita isn’t the only master who you’ll be able to pick though: all of your favourite Underlords are available, except for Korvek - he’s too popular to be included in the base game. But rest assured we have the perfect solution for those who can’t do without!

Expand Your Experience!

USFFTOHX2A+DOT is what we like to call a living, breathing, fleecing game. By that we mean that it will continue to evolve in new ways to make us money and to offer you, our valued player, valuable but overpriced downloadable content. This includes new characters, masters, skins, hair colour changes, music, UI interfaces, cheat codes, story skips, and mutators! Needless to say, if we can think of it we’ll put a price on it! We’ve already planned out our first fifty DLCs for the 2020 Season Pass; here’s some of the highlights:

Chunder Reinforcement Pack - £15.99 - Introduces 23 Chunder variants into the pool of characters, replacing characters randomly each time you enter the character select screen.
Korvek Master Pack - £29.99 - He’s destroyed far greater parts of himself than you.
Uber Characters & Masters - £15.99 - Adds Uber character versions e.g. Uber Lucius. Also adds the Uber masters Mendechaus and Kira.
Pay2WinPack - £99.99 - Unlocks several pay to win mechanics such as invisible skins, invulnerability in multiplayer, one button KO and more!
Swimsuit Skins - £9.99 - Adds swimsuit skins for:
- Beastmaster (Board Shorts)
- Necromancer (Speedos)
- Bard (Skinny-Dipper)
- Lord O’Theland (G-String)
- Succubus (Victorian Bathing Suit)
- Chunder (Mankini)
- Skarg (Flip-Flops)
- Thunderling (Thong)

https://wftogame.com/wp-content/uploads/Succubusfinalbackground-773x1024.jpg Cover up and protect yourself from those harmful rays and gazes! If you don’t feel like paying extra for your post-release characters don’t worry - we’ll be releasing ULTRA Street Fight for the Overworld Hyper XX Accent Plus Double Overload Turbo - Revision Reload (USFFTOHX2A+DOT - RR) within the next two years! This edition will include all DLCs and space for plenty more to be added later! Finally, all that remains to be said is that USFFTOHX2A+DOT will be coming soon to PC and also to the cutting edge Super Nintendo Entertainment System. https://wftogame.com/wp-content/uploads/Street-Fight-SNES-Box-1024x576.jpg Sega owners... dream on.
