Here are some quick tips to get you started. Naval Warfront Tips Going with the wind is faster. When going against the wind do not deploy 'square sails' as they will cause you to go much slower and act as a wind brake. Do not load cannons if you aren’t using them: A loaded cannon is a dangerous cannon. It can explode when hit and damage the ship. Teamwork is key, work with your fellow crew mates to help with ammunition, pass along orders and fire off volleys at the enemy fleet. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/28169799/d1d824867430aa1b901d7917b11fdad543b99aac.png Be sure to read through the rest of the blog post to learn more about our next update which we're currently hard at work polishing off preparing for the initial testing phase.

Should everything go well with this release we will set our sights on the next major update featuring CPU optimisations.

The past few months we have been hard at work undertaking one of Holdfast's largest updates to date. We've upgraded Holdfast's game engine and render pipeline allowing us to utilise new technology for optimisations while also improving the graphical fidelity of the game. Holdfast has never looked better and now as a result of these optimisations will also run smoother and more consistently across various setups. But that is not all... Your Emperor calls. Napoleon himself marches onto the battlefields of Holdfast along with some iconic uniforms of his past in the new Napoleon's Rise cosmetic DLC available for the game. Plus the official soundtrack for Holdfast is out now! A brand new urban map featuring new environments themed on the city streets of France will also be playable for all for free. https://youtu.be/tLb7IebbabE Napoleon's Rise DLC https://store.steampowered.com/app/2692480/Holdfast_Nations_At_War__Napoleons_Rise The Plight of War OST https://store.steampowered.com/app/2692500/Holdfast_OST__The_Plight_of_War Development efforts targeting framerate improvements on large player count servers are also ongoing and will be present in future updates. This has all been made possible thanks to the above mentioned engine upgrade exposing the team to new tools to further optimise the game. Just before you go though be sure to take a read of what this update brings down below! Holdfast's New Look An entire rework of the games graphics was yet another one of the mammoth tasks throughout this update. No stone was left unturned to bring-forth the new graphics for the game. The entire post processing stack for the game was changed from the ground up and now features some excellent looking sun rays, reflections, colour grading and many more effects to give you the full Holdfast immersive experience. https://i.imgur.com/o8Y8QiN.gif https://i.imgur.com/hl9IMg9.gif https://i.imgur.com/8Nlskcl.gif https://i.imgur.com/mmCGfHc.gif Many structures and props have been freshly retextured bringing a more consistent and vibrant appearance to the game's battlefields. We also spent some time touching grass as the foliage has undergone a complete rework from the smallest blade to the tallest of trees. Foliage will also interact with players as they move through it, something especially handy for spotting a sneaking carpenter in the wheat fields. Slimming Down Holdfast A significant benefit of our work across these months has been that reduction in Holdfast's file size. Given the number of battlefields and faction diversity that Holdfast offers it was inevitable that this would eventually catch up to us and needed remedying. Thank's to the updated engine and new optimisation efforts we have successfully brought the games install size down from over 40gb to a now much more comfortable 17gb while still maintaining both Nations At War and Frontlines in one game install for all to...Vive L'Empereur!

Our team will continue dishing out more improvements on this front in more Holdfast updates to follow. Part of this change is an experimental new option for a reduced main menu which can be accessed by inputting -hddMode as a Steam game launch parameter. This lightweight version of the main menu currently in BETA is intended to aid individuals that have the game installed on a hard drive. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/28169799/dff02b36c386ab6d9a682ad529f7294a483e1138.gif Be sure to take a read of the full change log to see the list of optimisations, bugs and quality of life features that have been addressed in this update.

Namely, optimisations have been implemented to return the game’s performance back to on par with previous iterations of the game. Two crosshairs have also been introduced into the Nations At War selection, the 'Nail’ and the ‘Fixate’ crosshairs can now be applied from the game tab in the settings menu. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/28169799/aad7d4ca080dda23c49aea19b7f34434e08236de.gif In addition to this, further customisation of the games UI can now be accessed via the settings, now players can change the colour of the health bar to either a solid red, gradient or dynamic bar. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/28169799/4c91938d92a1ce7e59ce6bf80550acdd99815d37.gif Be sure to take a read of the full change log to see the list of optimisations, bugs and quality of life features that have been addressed with this hot fix.

Holdfast Updated! Howitzers & UISep 4, 2023 - Community Announcements{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/28169799/e3520f72c8a98245384cf1874e83b35a0e213536.png The time has come to announce the release of this long anticipated update. For some while now we have been hard at work rejuvenating both Holdfast’s frontend and backend in order to lay the foundations for the updates to follow. Our goal is to make Holdfast more accessible to a wider audience while staying true to its core. This will prolong Holdfast’s shelf life so that you can continue enjoying Holdfast for many more years to come! This update will be the first big step in that direction. Introducing The Howitzer This long requested artillery piece now makes its way to the battles of Holdfast. With its skilled based air burst and flying shrapnel this new disrupter of organisation will change the way engagements play out across the game. Load a shot and set the fuse timer on the fuse interface then fire away and watch as chaos ensues from afar. Those wanting a more precise fuse timer can hold down 'Shift' by default and make smaller timing changes. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/28169799/f0b2ea9511bf1f3c03c559084d05651e434ad158.gif The Howitzer’s primary attack is the air burst, timing the fuse and judging the distance correctly will allow skilled artillerymen to burst the shell above the enemy causing the most damage and killing those closest. Shells that land near or at the floor of the enemy will cause damage but will not kill unless they are directly on top of the shell. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/28169799/94f1063b4a4a3bcf1c3ce86064402dfd8809fee5.gif Holdfast’s New Look One of the biggest changes to come to the game with this update is a complete redesign of the games user interface. From the moment you launch the game and all the way until you finish a match you’ll see a whole new UI that has been designed and created to further improve the user experience and provide much needed modularity for future updates that the old UI simply didn’t allow for. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/28169799/d041c55762f97a2c80eece32d924eecba50a0859.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/28169799/96bd243aaf0d474c789b558d076647c02de53f0f.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/28169799/00529c174b93e589b3a1eb7d238529607a165b95.gif This is indeed a big change but comes with a whole new slew of features such as the new playercards, regiment leaderboards, barracks and customisation, in-game regiment registry and much more. There’s plenty to explore so hop on Holdfast and check out everything this new interface has to offer. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/28169799/dacff0f3f530f4d26864f11a5adb91c92d51801e.gif {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/28169799/57a4b971ca3e4173d2e78eb5d35dad9e02f40de8.gif This initial introduction of playercards should be considered as a beta version of the full implementation as in updates to follow once we have tested and confirmed the robustness of the new systems, more portraits, banners, medals and unlocks will be available for players to complete specific challenges for. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/28169799/6ddd0760eaea15190308d85b1a966d8f172c6fb6.gif All of the gam...5th Series. The Barracks!Jun 29, 2023 - Community Announcements{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/28169799/6f9265452d0810a59d55d9c21c4692b4ef7d6585.png Greetings good fellows of the community! After many months of hard work we are now reaching ever closer to the release of the next major update. Internal quality assurance testing have been ongoing these past weeks and we have already undertaken early feedback sessions as we prepare to move into a larger scale closed BETA. This update has taken some time, however, testing and polishing has been integral for bringing in a fresh lick of paint to the game and laying the foundations for the updates that will follow. https://iili.io/HiHVD6F.gif This update will bring with it an entirely redesigned user interface which will introduce some much needed modularity and scalability to the UI while also making Holdfast more accessible for all players. One feature of this is the new ability to customise your soldier and playercard within the main menu. Before heading into battle, visit the barracks tab and customise your soldier for each and every nation. Any changes here will also be reflected within the in-game spawn menu. https://iili.io/HPbgmKB.gif https://iili.io/HPbrxHX.gif *The above footage is a work in progress and may not be representative of the content upon release. This introduction of the barracks will be the first phase of a new slew of cosmetic unlocks that will be obtainable through challenges coming with an update later this year. Playercard customisation for this update will be limited to begin with but we look forward to bringing in new medals, banners, weapon designs and much more into the barracks with the coming updates. Rest assured that our commitment to Holdfast and its community remains as strong as ever! Revealing more of our plans for the year, sappers will be equipped with an improved arsenal of buildables. The sapper was always intended to have a far great presence on the battlefield and the introduction of these new constructible objects will bolster their impact throughout matches and provide some far greater and robust defences to dynamically change up the battlefield with towers, palisades and much more. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/28169799/dd79713fbac69294f34b4e67e25cba00c3d800fe.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/28169799/89e8cab4ada31f7a952d004f08fb7527ec7f0bfe.png Holdfast Game Sale Enlist and fight the foe today, over the hills and far away!

We now step ever closer to the next update for Holdfast. The team are working endlessly to polish off this first of larger updates coming in 2023 all of which will aid in expanding and maintaining this great community we all love so dearly. Soon we will be undertaking closed BETA sessions to test and gather feedback prior to the update's full release. While there is indeed a lot of change coming with this update it is a very important stage of our plans to ensure that players new and old can continue enjoying Holdfast for the years to come. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/28169799/d160e8ca5783dcc75ed5e4c1daf41dd637f9922d.jpg The newest members Gest, Matt and Grandayy slotted into the team effortlessly and have all already begun directly working on multiple sections of this next update coming to the game. They are all very excited for you to see what they have been working on. Speaking of which, we’re pleased to announce that the long-awaited Howitzer artillery piece will be added to the game with this update. This new foe on the battlefield makes up what it lacks in range with devastating shrapnel explosions and blasts that will knock back those who are near. Here’s a sneak peek of this beast of the battlefield. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/28169799/b75f5a6301a04103e6ee7a4a1f03ca6592627260.gif {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/28169799/8db2ebbd75ff6d183ca9449021f5e63a6c3e6544.gif *The above footage is a work in progress and may not be representative of the content upon release. One of the changes coming to Holdfast with this update is an entire redesign of the game's user interface. Holdfast is a game that has been in development since 2013 and over the years, it has come to be rather dated in a lot of ways, often limiting the development of many features due to its lack of modularity. Part and parcel of the above-mentioned redesign are customisable player cards. You will be able to brilliantly showcase your hard-earned achievements through a selection of customisable medals, portraits, titles and banners in your own style and liking. It will show to players you kill and also within the game’s leaderboards. These will be visible across all fronts of the game including Naval, Nations At War and Frontlines. The initial introduction of these cards will have a limited pool of portraits, banners, titles and medals to pick from. Other updates will see the inclusion of a wide selection of customisable elements that can be unlocked by completing service challenges and feats of strength. We’re doing this to limit the scope of the upcoming release ensuring that we’re able to deliver it to you as soon as humanly possible. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/28169799/1c7c2ce4cca781c8cdbf1f83beb157ac61e76b07.png Our systems backend which cares for stats and experience collection as well as the regiment registry was similarly rudimentary in its construct.

Continuing with our commitment to bringing Holdfast: Nations At War into the new age the team has been hard at work laying the foundations for our 2023 plans which are just as much exciting as they are ambitious. Holdfast has always strived to break through boundaries and revolutionise this genre of roleplay shooters and our year ahead will remain focused on this target. Bringing forth the next chapter of Holdfast will ensure its continued growth and expansion of a community that we have all come to love so dearly. Once more, we want to ensure that you can continue enjoying Holdfast for the years to come. With this goal in mind, the Anvil Game Studios team has welcomed 3 additional talented individuals who will be joining us on this journey to uplift Holdfast, and community-focused games from the team beyond to newer and greater heights. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/28169799/2e1e601c0ff12006a3d747ab4dc3b3fbb7e46ce4.png Those eagled-eyed fellows in the official Holdfast Discord server would have already noticed these new faces but as an official introduction, we now have the pleasure of introducing to you the latest members of the team.

You can expect to see content in the game from them very soon.
