- Changes to the Roadmap - 13 September 2016
Hello all! A number of you have probably noticed that we've adjusted our Early Acces Roadmap. Previously, a preview for Online Multiplayer was slated for the end of August. Unfortunately we've had to delay it until October. I'd like to apologise for not updating the roadmap sooner; it's been hectic here and communication with our playerbase was regretfully sidelined. So where is online multiplayer at? It's actually mostly complete. The internal networked build of Toys of Way plays well in a LAN environment, but needs more online-related polish before we're happy to release it publicly. Specifically, we're working to make connections more consistently achievable, as well as to integrate Steam/PS4/XB1 platform features such as friend-joining and lobby servers. For the time being, we've also removed the 'community game mode' feature from the roadmap until we've fully delivered online multi…

- Update 0.4.7! - 9 August 2016
Hello! Today we're launching a quick update to patch a bug so obscure we hope that no-one even knew it existed! Fix 3rd round never starting when a bot is locked in to any slot before a player (such as first and third slot locked as players, but second slot is an AI).

- The War has Begun! - 12 July 2016
It's time to launch Toys of War on Steam Early Access! It's going to be a long couple of nights, but the team here at 2Bit is excited people will finally be able to enjoy the game we've sunk over a year of blood, sweat, and often tears into. Let's start with the current state of the game, including known bugs and areas of feedback-interest for us, as well as how to contribute to each of these. Once that's laid out, we'll go over our roadmap for the Early Access all the way to launch, including what you can expect over the next three-or-so months. State of the Game Toys of War is pretty much complete as a local multiplayer game. Online multiplayer will land shortly (~2 months) after launch. We have an active Known Bugs list on our Steam forums (which will no doubt grow in short order), as well as our Feature Roadmap with rough delivery dates. Note that these dates are estimates and are s…
