Yet alongside this, one of the key secrets to its success is the diverse array of anthropomorphic animals—the citizens of your civilization in this grim fantasy realm—you have to manage...

Ready to gaze into the fortune-telling ball? Let’s take a glimpse of what’s heading your way in Against the Storm! New DLC in the works We’re happy to reveal that we’re working on a new free content update and a DLC. While the release is still months away, we can already share that the DLC will include - among other features - a new biome and a new species: BATS! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37925331/40cf160e518b10a59a2cb2c8c7b529982346fa74.png Bats are stern and fiercely devoted people. They take pride in enduring what breaks others and cannot stand being favored. Bats excel at metallurgy but find no particular comfort in any type of work. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37925331/0a9102e8b235bef0675c2fd47d072243a7ee630c.png With this DLC, we’ll complete the species roster we’ve envisioned for the game ever since Bats were first introduced during the community vote a little over two years ago. You can expect more details and previews of the DLC in the future. We’ll continue developing both the Update and the DLC. Speaking of which… DLC experimental open alpha test You can support the development of new content by joining the time-limited open alpha tests of the DLC on Steam. The open alpha begins now and we expect it to be live for 4-6 weeks, depending on the feedback we receive. Important: the testing is voluntary and there are no incentives for participation. You may encounter bugs and the balance may need adjusting. All the new assets are placeholders and programmer art, and the content is available only in English. If, despite these warnings, you’re eager to participate in the alpha test, please follow the instructions in this thread: How to participate in the DLC open alpha test After trying the alpha, feel free to share your feedback in the dedicated DLC open alpha forum on Steam or our Discord server’s #experimental channels.

Against the Storm is part of the Steam Spring Sale at 50% off, and so is its DLC! Check it and other games out in the Hooded Horse Spring Sale.

The new Town Statistics tab offers a breakdown of settlement data, including reputation sources, villager deaths, and resource usage. A Global Effects tab has been added to the warehouse UI, summarizing all settlement-wide bonuses such as production speed and movement buffs. Production buildings now feature a statistics tab displaying worker assignments, production speed, and double yield chances. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37925331/a3fc73282924a362d4e22f2c308f4f8b0171b776.jpg A new Global Effects tab has been added to the warehouse UI, providing a summary of settlement-wide bonuses. This includes modifiers like production speed, double production chance, movement speed, and season duration. It only displays global effects, so individual villager or building-specific bonuses remain separate. Production buildings, camps, fishing huts, and mines now have their own statistics tab, showing a breakdown of assigned workers, their production speed, and double yield chances. While these stats offer a clearer picture of resource flow, they also provide useful insight when fine-tuning efficiency—whether it's checking how much double-yield chance a worker has or seeing the broader impact of production bonuses. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37925331/998473585683ebc5fc27e383d213d3fc2afac7c1.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37925331/998473585683ebc5fc27e383d213d3fc2afac7c1.jpg The update includes several UI and UX changes to improve accessibility and usability. World map modifier tooltips now display whether you’ve completed the corresponding deed, making it easier to track progress. Specialization icons in the in-game encyclopedia now have tooltips, providing additional details. New settings have also been added, including an option to disable screen dimming during autosaves, a zoom sensitivity setting, and an automatic pause when alt-tabbed. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37925331/10bec7aeaa9b63f1b2faecd738db41111b60e60a.jpg Two of the most notable additions in this update are building mirroring and more irregular building footprints. While these might seem like small changes, they provide more flexibility in shaping settlements and creating visually distinct layouts. Against the Storm isn’t a game centered on customization or decor, but these features offer new ways to make towns feel more organic and unique. https...Hotfix 1.7.6 (Ancient Seal panel)Mar 4, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsGreetings, Viceroys! We deployed a tiny hotfix to get rid of the remaining instances of the Ancient Seal panel issue that we described in the previous patch: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1336490/view/509572974349648517 There are no other changes to report. Off we go to develop the next update! May the storm be gentle on you, Eremite GamesHotfix 1.7.5 (Ancient Seal issue)Feb 21, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsGreetings, Viceroys!It's another day of housekeeping, and we're dusting off another set of imperfections. Ancient Seal panel issue Among those is a very rare bug where certain Ancient Seal objectives failed to generate properly if a trade-blocking effect was active, preventing the Seal panel from opening when selected. We deployed a fix, but it only applies to new Ancient Seal games. Unfortunately, if you encountered this bug in version 1.7.4, today's hotfix will not unlock your stuck Seal panel. However, we can fix your save manually. To do so, please zip your entire game saves folder, which is located here: %userprofile%\appdata\locallow\Eremite Games\ And send it to us: via email at [email protected] or create a new post in the #bug-reports channel on our Discord and attach the files We deeply apologize for this inconvenience :( Apart from the above, we also took care of other reported issues. Changelog Fixed a bug where the "+2 Packs of Building Materials" reward in the Zealous Scouts order was missing a name and description. Fixed a bug where the "-2 Global Resolve" effect from the Cornerstone Forge was missing a name. Fixed a bug where the sacrifice effects from the Ancient Hearth were incorrectly positioned in the perk HUD. Fixed a bug where the order of camps in gathering node UIs was inconsistent across different camps. Fixed a bug where the Boot Delivery Line perk was giving Coats instead. Fixed a bug where Xiadani sold the Clothier blueprint for too little Amber. Fixed a typo in the German version of the game. The current game version is 1.7.5. We're grateful for all your support and we wish you a fantastic time with the game. Also, have an amazing weekend!

We’re here with another small patch that addresses some remaining issues from the recent Quality of Life Update (1.7). Thank you for bringing them to our attention! Fixed a bug that was causing some fertile soil exclusive orders to appear on non-fertile soil maps (and thus not have rewards because they were tied to farming). Fixed a bug where the Healing order would have one less reward in biomes without Insects. It now offers a different reward if it can't be generated with the Dye Extractor perk. Fixed a bug where the Quick Transaction order was missing a blueprint reward. Fixed a few other orders that could inadvertently exclude rewards (based on map or species conditions). They will now have alternative rewards for these cases. Fixed a bug where the Efficient Brewing perk was being sold by traders in games without Humans (because the Brewery is a species-locked building). Fixed a bug where unbuilt Big Shelters were sticking out of the ground a bit. Fixed a typo in the Polish version of the Prayer of Courage effect. Fixed a bug where the game would automatically unpause after selecting one of several Cornerstone choices. Fixed a bug where the production multiplier text in the production building UI was cut off if it was 10 or higher. The current game version is 1.7.4. We hope these fixes enhance your experience, and we wish you tons of fun with the game.

Thank you for the warm reception of yesterday's Update. Your support is truly invaluable! We just released a hotfix which deals with the issues you've reported: Fixed a bug that caused inactive/legacy deeds from a very old version of the game to show up in World Map Modifier tooltips. Fixed a bug that caused players to receive Ale from orders and events, even if there was no species with a need for Leisure. Fixed a bug that allowed the Queen's Gift cornerstone to appear in games without orders. Fixed a bug that caused the Zelous Scout order to appear in games without lizards. Fixed a bug that was displaying the wrong maximum Hearth level on the town stats screen. Fixed some typos in the French version of the game. Fixed a bug that caused the icons above buildings to be mirrored when the building was mirrored. Species Influx orders (Harpy Influx, Beaver Influx, etc.) will no longer appear in biomes where the required resource is not available. The current game version is 1.7.3. Thank you once again and have a great time with the game! May the storm be gentle on you, Eremite GamesQuality of Life Update (1.7) now available!Feb 18, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsGreetings, Viceroys! We’re back with another Against the Storm update—one that, hopefully, will make your experience with the game even more convenient, fun, and… symmetrical! So, what’s in store? Town Statistics, Production Statistics, and Global Effects Mirroring buildings (horizontal flip) More irregular building footprints Balance changes to Cornerstones, Orders, and Rewards in general Deed information on World Map Modifier tooltips Background autopause And more Continue reading for our design notes, full changelog, and information about settlement saves. Important: Due to numerous systemic changes, the update will close ongoing settlements to prevent potential issues. As compensation, you’ll receive Citadel Resources equivalent to winning that game, along with a Royal Resupply. Your Cycle progress and meta progress will remain intact. If you’re eager to finish your current settlement, you can temporarily access a special Steam branch with version 1.6. Details on how to do this can be found at the end of the update notes. However, we recommend using this option only as a last resort. DEVELOPER NOTES Today's update is a bit smaller than usual, focusing on quality of life, balance, and bug fixes. That's because most of the team is working on new content behind the scenes, but we still wanted to introduce some community-inspired features and shake up the meta a bit in the meantime. Some of the highlights of this update include: town statistics, production stats in building panels, a mirror building option, more non-uniform building footprints, event and order reward changes, a cornerstone rebalance, and much, much more. So without further ado, let's dive in! First, the town statistics. With the 1.7 update, you will finally be able to see a detailed breakdown of your current settlement - how much reputation you’ve earned from various sources, how many villagers have died, how many resources you’ve used, how much Amber you’ve gained, and more. This information will be available not only at the end of a run but also during gameplay in a new tab within the warehouse UI. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37925331/a3fc73282924a362d4e22f2c308f4f8b0171b776.jpg In the same warehouse UI, you’ll also find a Global Effects tab, which provides a summary of all bonuses and effects that apply to your town and villagers - such as production speed, double production chance, movement speed, and season duration. Please note that this tab only shows global effects and does not include bonuses that apply to specific villagers or buildings. We’ve also added a new statistics tab to all buildings that produce goods (production buildings, camps, fishing huts, mines, etc.). There, you can see a breakdown of the workers assigned to that building, including their production speed and double yield chance. While all these stats might mostly serve as interesting trivia or a way to watch numbers go up, they should also bring more clarity in some places - for example when you’re wondering how...Beloved roguelike city builder Against the Storm is getting upgraded, for freeFeb 18, 2025 - PCGamesNSteam is filled with excellent strategy games, but there aren't many like Against the Storm.

We’re at the finish line of delivering the new update, so it’s time to share some sneak peeks! The update’s main theme is Quality of Life, as we’ve focused on various improvements to enhance the game experience, including: Town Statistics Production Statistics Mirroring buildings Deed information on World Map Modifier tooltips More irregular building footprints Balance changes to Cornerstones, Orders, and Rewards in general Quality of Life Update (1.7) will be released on February 18th between 2:00 PM UTC and 6:00 PM UTC. Make sure to finish your ongoing settlements before the update goes live—otherwise, they’ll need to be closed. More details below! What's new Statistics Soon, you’ll be able to see various settlement data, including a summary of global bonuses and effects, production statistics, and settlement statistics (such as a Reputation breakdown). {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37925331/a3fc73282924a362d4e22f2c308f4f8b0171b776.jpg In other words, more numbers to stare at while pretending you have everything under control! Mirroring buildings For those of you who like building in style, we’re adding an option to flip buildings horizontally. Which means you can finally place Harpy Houses like this: https://i.imgur.com/IAJ9lBo.gif Perfection. And more We're also shaking up the meta a bit by rebalancing some yearly Cornerstones, Orders, and rewards in multiple places (packs, orders, events). How to prepare Finish the settlement before the Update Important: Due to numerous systemic changes, the update will close the ongoing settlements to prevent potential issues. As compensation, you’ll receive Citadel Resources equal to winning that game and a Royal Resupply. If you don't want your ongoing settlement to be closed, please be sure to finish it before the update goes live on February 18th. Your Cycle progress and meta progress will remain intact. For a limited time, we will also be leaving the current 1.6 version on a separate Steam branch so that you can complete the settlement if you are unable to do so before the Quality of Life Update (1.7) goes live.

And yet, I've decided to cheat. Against the Storm did not release this year. Rather, it released December of last year—after we'd already locked in our GOTY picks for 2023.
