- Development Report - Modding & Roadmap - 23 June 2026
What's happening?Good news and slightly worse news!Good news: I've been working hard on the development, advancing on a couple fronts.

Change all parameters, create your own units, messengers and other objects with your own art. No campaign creator yet, but everything else in the battles is editable. Including skills and their mechanics. Steam Workshop implementation with a simple to use load order system.In-game game editor that allows you to play around with the game elements without messing around with code or text files.

Hello everyone !We're back from the honeymoon and I'd like to present you all the changes I've made in my spare time ːsteamhappyːFeature creep is fantastic for moments like this. 2-hour slot of free time, what can I add? Expanding in the many directions laid out in the roadmap:- Items setup to be moddable and easy to add. (more hooks and triggers will come with more system items)- Consumable items, there's a whole new interface for battle items. Manually used or automatic.- Improved item handling, now that it's a basic part of the game, it must be as smooth as possible- Egg Riders have eggs now !!- Unruly Mob super spicy skill- Weapon display upgraded- You can zoom in on the world map.- Skills slowly opening up for more modding- Unit parameters now display whatever changes might've occurred. With labels of origin. Hopefully the system is easier to understand now.- Weapon melee ranges ca…

- Mini-Expansion: Beneath Crescent Lake - 25 April 2025
Hello everyone! Another big update. This time campaign content! I'm honestly a bit tired after testing everything until 4am so let's get straight to the point! What's new? - Expanded campaign with more quests focused on the new units - Arachnids. It's very clear now the game wants to be an open world with points of interest you can visit. Glad to know I'm on the right track. - Experience levels for units now give perks and skills. This is the first step before I implement skill trees with ability points for units. - Usable artifacts, which is the first step before swappable weapons and items. - Fate Dice can be re-rolled for every check, this is a prerequisite for company stats. I'd really love to have a customizable leader with stats which impact these stat checks. - Leader unit prototype. I think this unit type is too large right now, but it works. Currently only shows up in the true…

- Winter Update! - 20 January 2025
What's changed: - New game mode, replayable arcade mode is here! Battles & army management with army drafting! Random world map for actual travel and crisis solving is coming in the next updates, right now the game mode is based on ... cards. Couldn't find a name for it, could be called RAM, but it's too silly, so it's called Arena. Because it's basically Daily Arena 2.0. It will help a lot with implementing content packs of new units, new factions, without creating a whole new campaign. - Bread supply system is more forgiving, as I'm slowly transitioning the system into a more open world. (custom campaigns will retain the option to be strictly linear). The road ahead to version 1.0 is laid out and simple, just need to work. Preferably learn some things along the way, rushing and crunching isn't fun after the 5th time. Sadly, the expanded campaign 1 couldn't make it today, will be done…
- v6.99 24th december - 24 December 2024
Replenish/merge units screen. Item identification works. Spider units, new faction & race. LOTS of bugfixes. Had planned to release the campaign content today, but it's too buggy. You could lose progress on a 5 hour campaign, not risking that. I'll fix bugs over the holiday break and will be ready for new year's. Sorry. I'm working on the open world aspect, it will take a lot of time still. But a simpler battle-focused replayable mode is coming January 20th. Things move waaay faster now that my chronic back pain is gone! (thank you amitriptyline). New year is worth looking forward to! (fun part about psychosomatic pain is the feedback loop: pain for 10h a day -> can't work -> feel bad about productivity -> more pain) Merry Christmas everyone! Arek
- Winter Sale! - 20 December 2024
Thank you for following the game! It's been a very rough year for me and Winter Falling, but things are okay now. I'm really sorry for the lack of meaningful updates in the last months, in a couple days a big expansion drops. Another in january. So things are looking up! Thank you, Arek
