- Update 1.1.9 - The Blueprint Library! - 17 September 2018
https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F4573245%2F070bd1466ec564b1e6548c7222a38f20921906a4.jpg VIDEO DEMONSTRATION BELOW! Hello everyone! We’re really excited to release this new feature to you! The Blueprint Library is an evolution of the blueprints management tool that might change how you play Castle Story entirely. The Blueprint Library allows you to save blueprints you’ve designed locally onto your disk to use later on, on any map or gamemode, even in multiplayer! So that really snazzy tower you worked on for an hour is no longer exclusive to your current game – you can save it and reuse it later! Better yet, you can even share blueprints you’ve saved onto the Steam Workshop for others to marvel in your architectural prowess. It’s okay to toot your horn every now and then, don’t worry. Since other players will be sharing their blueprints too, you can subscr…
- 1.1.8 - CONQUEST REWORK & BRICKTRON FACES! - 26 July 2018
https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F4573245%2F527b606afaa128f13fe81a53ea44fa78fcdd13ac.jpg Hey everyone! We’re pretty excited to put today’s update into your hands! Conquest has been one of the most played gamemodes since the recent major updates but it was designed in a way where you could end up with a tremendous amount of Corruptrons on your island, roaming around, pathfinding and eating up all of your computer-juices, causing major loss in performance, which is the top complaint we’ve received for Castle Story. Additionally, the gamemode had some issues with balance and difficulty – easy wasn’t always easy enough and hard was sometimes too easy for the pros. All in all, you should see some major improvements in performance in shorter and longer Conquest games! Also! A few of you expressed concerns over the Bricktrons looking a bit.. indifferent! Well, Br…
- The Catapult Update is now live! (Update 1.1.7) - 5 July 2018
https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F4573245%2Fa6651ddaba2f6bc8d4a338b4a79ba3993edb7647.jpg Heeeeeello peoples! We’re happy to ship a small but useful update to the catapult today making its use considerably easier than it was before. Hoping this’ll encourage players to make use of it as a viable defensive (and with a bit of creativity, offensive) measure for your base. In the past, ordering a catapult to fire didn’t immediately fire it. You had to wait for a Bricktron to make their way over there and trigger it. This could mean waiting a fairly long time or, if you had the good measure to assign a worker to the catapult, a shorter waiting time, but one none the less. A Bricktron was also needed to rotate/aim the catapult, causing the player to encounter these same delays. As of today, Bricktrons will automatically load catapults with a barrel without any int…

- Update 1.1.6 - The Desert Biome! - 14 June 2018
https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F4573245%2F5708d5de8ed75481198672bfe2740d1da4e142ef.jpg OH HEY! First things first, we're streaming live from the studio, today at 3PM EST (3 hours after this announcement is posted) on Twitch.tv/SauropodStudio and Youtube.com/SauropodStudio - we'll be playing this update and chatting about what's next for Castle Story! Welcome to today’s changelogs! :D We’re pretty excited about this one because it brings something new to Castle Story that’s been requested quite often; a new biome! Islands built in the desert biome look completely different from ones in the forest biome you’re used to. Instead of lush greenery, thick grass and comfy looking nooks and crannies, expect sandy dunes, dry shrubbery, cacti and sandstone! The new Desert Biome is shipping with a new, official map made in the desert, allowing you to dip your Brickt…

This update’s for you! Added resource toggles on the quarry and the tunnel, allowing you to instruct Bricktrons not to gather stone, brimstone or iron. Instead, Bricktrons working on that task will destroy the resources that are toggled off instead of bringing them back to c clutter your stockpiles! In longer games, a reduced number of stockpiles in your game will improve performance. Quarries now capped at 8 instead of 4 automated Bricktrons. There are changes on the horizon.. literally. Fixed the hotkey for Blueprint Management not working. Added a label to the menu/home button for its hotkey: F10. Minor changes & fixes in the localization. You have fun and don’…

This update is something we’ve wanted into the game for quite a while now, but finding a logical hotkey for every thing in a game like Castle Story has proven to be quite the headache. But we’ve done it! Today’s update will add hotkeys to almost everything in the game and changes some of the keyboard’s usability to a more user friendly approach. Also, we’ve slipped in some changes to the balance of military units. Here’s the full changelog; http://www.castlestory.net/en/update/6280-114-The-Hotkeys-Update Hope you folks enjoy and, as usual, let us know what you think. :)
- HOTFIX - WARD LINES IN MULTIPLAYER (& A TOURNAMENT!) - 20 March 2018
Howdy! A little bird told us there was an illicit, fight-club like underground hidden tournament being organized by blood-thirsty members of the community in which Castle Story players face each other off at PvP battles in the game. Frankly, this is shocking and slightly frightening and we love it. If you’re parts crazy and parts brave and want to participate in such a tournament, join the official Discord by clicking here and fill in the participation form by clicking here. In light of this competition and considering, from what we’ve heard, that if you die in this tournament you die IRL, we’ve decided to divert some effort to fix an old bug that made multiplayer games a little unfairly biased towards the person hosting the game; - Fixed an issue where the host would see the energy lines of other players’ wards in the fog of war. Enjoy and good luck to everyone taking part in this tour…
