- Guns, more guns - 29 June 2025
UW's weapon roster has been expanding. Not just in the total number of guns, but also the period in which they've been drawn from. Obsolete 19th century black powder long guns brought back into service and the latest in 1940s firearms development for field testing, plus everything in between. Each UW's weapons classes (e.g. single action rifle, shotgun, etc.) each feature a diversity of calibers and functionality. As a functionality example, the shotgun class features both buckshot and slug firing shotguns. As a diversity example, the single action rifle class includes straight-pull military rifles, breach loading safari guns and pistol caliber lever action rifles. The sidearm weapon class is the most diverse, featuring handguns, carbines, machine pistols and sawn down rifles and shotguns. Whatever the drawbacks of your character's primary weapon, there will be a sidearm to complement i…
- Weapons and damage - 14 May 2025
One of the things we’ve been working on is an overhaul of the weapons and ammo systems in UW. In the current release, both weapons and ammo have their own quality levels, for example. This meant you could mix low quality ammo into a high quality gun and vice versa. Behind the scenes, a series of complex calculations were performed to determine how factors such as ammo, the weapon and its degradation, the target's armor and all of their respective quality levels factor into the amount of damage being dealt. Aside from being hard to understand, choices such as having each ammo type with multiple levels of quality also required you to do more micro-management of items. For the next update, ammo quality levels were removed, the number of ammo types reduced and loadout variety achieved by having greater differentiation between weapons themselves. Whereas ammo used to be the primary driver of…
- UW is alive - 21 April 2025
UW is alive. Despite the radio the silence, we’ve been working on the game the entire time. What was planned as a handful of upgrades became a deeper system rework. In hindsight, it was an overly ambitious task and regretfully caused the unwarranted delays with updates. The silver lining is that UW has improved gameplay and more content. One example of what we’ve been working on is revamping the old levels. Here’s a comparison between two levels: Other things we have been developing include: New guns and items New levels. New worldmap Many combat systems revamped Character ability system Improved AI And plenty more
- Progress Update - 11 March 2024
Greetings, soldiers. We apologize for how long It’s been since we’ve posted anything, but rest assured we’ve never stopped working on UW. Without further ado, let us declassify development progress. Active Abilities Some might have seen Zuhra’s kick ability before in our twitter post. We’re expanding ability systems so that each character feels unique in their role. Every character will have one or more active abilities and many passive abilities. Most active abilities are powerful enough to turn the tides of battle, but the uses are limited. Hence careful planning will be crucial. 3D World Map The world map is being overhauled from 2D to 3D. You will be able to see landmarks of locations and view the landscape of the world. New Event System The previous text-focused event system is being replaced with a more dynamic version that is more character focused and displays the events through…

- Update v0.8.1 - 29 December 2022
Howdy, fellow survivors of 2022. Are you enjoying your Christmas break? We've been working on yet another backend reconstruction which is why this update took such a long time. We believe it was a necessary step to tackle sooner than later. There won't be any more big backend changes in the future and we'll be working on more content related tasks (weapons, levels, events, etc). Tank The tank has now returned to the game! Many elements of its design have been changed since its original iteration, aiming to make the tank easier to use tactically. We’re still tweaking the balance of all tanks, so expect to see some changes in future. Movement System Rework (old left, new right) One of the backend changes was overhauling the movement system. With the old system, you often had to pixel-hunt to find the right position that provides cover for your units. Sometimes units struggled to move to t…

- Early Access Release - 21 April 2022
This update contains a visual upgrade, with brand new high quality character models. Alongside the new models is a revamped story and completely new cutscenes! We hope that these changes help you become more engaged in the world of UW. Pricing 0.8 contains less content than the full game, which is why the EA will initially cost $9.99. Early backers of UW will receive extra content in future as compensation for the price dip. You can read more about future pricing and future content here: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/831110/view/3210511728810861413 Known Issues in 0.8.0 We put a great amount of time and effort into the development of 0.8.0. However, while me made sure that the game is playable, we did not have the time to address some of the less critical issues. Here's a list of what we're currently aware of: VN text auto play speed cannot be adjusted Performance issues in so…
- Upcoming Update 0.8 & Early Access Release - 12 April 2022
After months of hard work, we’re finally preparing the release of UW 0.8. This is the update we’ve been teasing for quite a while, with the new models and the main storyline. Firstly we want to apologize for the lack of regular development updates. We’ve been pouring all of our efforts into preparing update 0.8. It will be released April 21st. Early Access Release Due to various circumstances (like our joke deadline becoming a real possibility), UW will enter Early Access with the release of 0.8. This means we’ll start selling the game a bit earlier than we have hoped for. We’re well aware of the problems that are associated with Steam Early Access, such as games stuck in perpetual development hell and entirely abandoned projects. We’ll do our best to avoid following those negative examples of Early Access releases. Pricing Since 0.8 will have less than a third of the content of the ful…
