📜 Warcube Development Status ⭐Read Before You Buy!⭐Oct 1, 2021 - Community AnnouncementsHiya friends! It's been far too long since a post or update on Warcube, so let's talk! 🙂 First off, thank you for being SO patient with me 😌 It really does mean a lot to me. Warcube is truly on my mind. I think about it every day, and I really want to finish it, and have every motivation to continue and do so. But development is officially on pause for right now. As some of you may know, apart from life being it's usual busy (the joke is that I have like 3,348 kids by now lol) the game has been getting a huge restructuring. Like we're talking a complete foundational rebuild. This doesn't mean like crazy new graphics or anything like that, but more the *base* that the game is built on is getting changed. It's a bit like moving a house that's already been built. Which is especially tricky with a game like Warcube, that has almost 3 years of work and updates. But I feel (and some recent reviews certain support) that the game where it stands is broken. So my plan is to see if I can currently pause purchases of the game, and anyone who would like to take advantage of Steam's return policy won't offend me at all, I totally get it and would encourage you to 🙂 and if you have the game, don't worry you'll still be able to play it and will get first access to the Warcube revamp! But don't get me wrong, I don't say this as an excuse, but a genuine reason as to why many of the reported bugs are starting to stack up. I'm definitely stretched more than thin between maintaining the old foundation, and building the new one. And if I'm being honest, like you, I'm way more excited in life about the future than the past 😄 (except when it comes to medieval stuff, I think current life could use a lot more trebuchets in it nowadays! Scifi trebuchets for the win!) The new version of Warcube is going to play very similar and yet different than the current version. Worry not, the beloved slow motion epic combat and charming yells of your troops in battle is staying. But the sprawling world map currently in the game will be retired, and in it's place will be a new more manageable map that can be interacted with in more fun and meaningful ways. In addition, the game will become much more of a roguelite than it is currently, with replayability and being put into cool combat scenarios a key feature. And as everyone knows, I'm a huge fan of easter eggs and surprising people, so there will be plenty of things to discover 😉 And if you're ever wondering what the status of the game is you can always head over to iswarcubeupdatingsoonornot.com to see! Another important reason the game is paused is that I have a some super fun projects in the works which I'm lucky to have more development support on than Warcube. Working on these projects helps me get better at working on Warcube. For example so far it's given me a chance to work on things like mission structure, special moves, localization, upgrading things in general, and customization! Which we can all agree are super great thin...🩹🐛🔨 4/19/21 PatchApr 19, 2021 - Community AnnouncementsQuick patch 😁 🔹Fixed data corruption with old saves loading 🔹Removed update timer because it's totally embarrassing at this point lol 🔹Relinked 5 scenes that were stuck on loading black (let me know if you find others! Bup I'm looking at you! :D) Quick patch! More fun things coming soon 💪 thanks for being patient with me! - craigz https://i.imgur.com/DM9TmZ8.gifSummer Check-In!Jul 20, 2020 - Community AnnouncementsHiya Friends! 👋 Thanks for being patient with me these past few months, I wanted to give a quick status update to let you know that I'm alive and cranking along :D My hope is that I'll be able to do one of these every week or so showing off or at least talking about progress, because otherwise I turn into a hermit💪 Live view of me these past few months https://i.imgur.com/MZBxlh5.jpg Let me answer some quick questions I've gotten! ✍ Are you alive?! In short. YES! Is... is... is the GAME alive?! YES! Though I have been slow because I've had the lucky opportunity to kick off a super secret project at the company I work at... more on that later 😉 So then what's going on...? I'm working on reworking the backbone of the game, this will really end up changing how the game is played so much, and I'm starting with the map. Currently the map is this sort of vague hodge podge of exploration and wannabe sandbox style gameplay with a shaky form of progression. I'd like to shift it to something a little bit more clear, so whether you play for 10 hours straight or pop in every couple months you'll know exactly what to do. At it's core, the stages are going to be a bit staggered, where for example in this picture, you own the blue, and the white zones are levels ready to be played, and the red ones are levels you are not able to play yet. Of course you can still explore around some portions of the map that are not locked by a geographic reason (such as a bridge that gets raised once you take over the location), but by and large the map will "slowly" open up vs. always be open like how it is now. Also, worry not, there will still be secret locations 😉 https://i.imgur.com/Gsp18ds.png My hope is that changing the map will help me create a process for more objectively working on the game 💪 Next post will be about tentative changes to how armies and NPC's work ✨ What do you think of the potential changes to the map? Like, disklike, indifferent? Let me know! As well as any questions or topics you'd like me to cover! 😁 Cheers, craigz {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/25954084/f2b05e0db3402d22a40d252d8ae790648c43df74.gifHappy April Fools!😂Apr 2, 2020 - Community AnnouncementsHappy April Fools my friends! Introducing a remix on last years "Castle Clicker" Mobile Minigame 🏰 Though rest assured, this time I'm not entirely swapping out the game entirely. Because last time I did so it resulted in a few bad reviews like this one, poor soul thought I would actually swap the game over to a clicker 😂 Ahhh well, such is life! That being said... if you haven't reviewed the game already, please go be a good Warling and do so to help the rebellion! It helps the Steam Gods determine who gets show Warcube, which is always crazy helpful!🙏 Official Warcube Discord Server.

Bug Fixes If you've filed a bug, just wanted to let you know i've got them filed here for a reference of what's been fixed as well as needs testing 🐛🔨 or feel free to click the image and it'll take you right there. https://i.imgur.com/m4SZAqt.jpg How You Can Help I'm looking for a few people to test some of the bug fixes to make sure they are indeed, fixed 🔨 click the chart above and take a peek at the 'Test if Fixed' column. Then let me know on the forum or Discord channel your results 💪 Official Warcube Discord Server. Bottom Paragraph Welcome to the bottom paragraph folks! This update was a lot of fun to put together :D I was going to do Warcube FPS Edition, but honestly, it's too much fun, it deserves it own game 😂 though maybe ya'll can test it next year haha 😁 I've been getting a system and schedule together for pushing forward with the game, as well as address bugs and performance. There seems to have been a pretty big performance hit from Update 55, and I'm still trying to figure out exactly what could have caused it. Thanks for being patient with me while I do so, I take things like that pretty seriously. Because while I love slowmo, I don't consider 10fps to be slowmo 😜Thanks for reading, it means a lot to me, give a shout anytime friends! Also I haven't forgotten about you Sandpuppy!! Just late on forum responses😆 Also if you haven't already, go buy Mount & Blade: Bannerlord, it's incredible🎠 -craigz https://i.imgur.com/DM9TmZ8.gifUpdate 55! 🎉Mar 17, 2020 - Community AnnouncementsIntroducing "Normal Update Numbers" I've ditched boring update names like "0.4.15v1" for something that you know, sounds like a human wrote it 😉 Like a good old regular number that corresponds with what update it is! Though I will say, I don't actually know if this is my 55th update, but it's gotta be somewhere around there, or even more (we should ask Myriad 🤷♂️) State Of Warcube Welcome to the very first 'State Of Warcube' post. After nearly a year of no major update, I feel this is totally necessary. But before I start, I just want to say how incredibly thankful I am to every person who reached out to me on every platform (specially my Discord fam) with encouragement, kind words, and gentle prods of 'when will you update things?' as well as the ever unique 'hello?' (looking at you Bup). Suffice to say it's probably easier if I give a timeline of the past year to better put things into perspective. But to be succinct for you TL;DR folks out there: I really broke the game and started also working full-time. 1. November 2018: Was working on my first boss fight and physically moving states 2. December 2018: Moved, published a beta build, and started a full-time job. 3. January-March 2019: Broke the game by upgrading unity and not backing things up, like a fool 4. April - August 2019: Patched nearly every broken scene in the game to get it where things were roughly before. 5. Sept - December 2019: Worked way through backlog of bugs amidst full-time job. Again, I really struggle with time management at this point. 6. January - February 2020: Had another kid, finished fixing the arena, publishing beta builds again. 7. Now: Published the first of many updates for the 2020 year, featuring basically everything the game had in it before, as well as a few new things ;) Early Access I've recently gone through and looked through my original Early Access descriptions on Steam (oof) and have decided I need to revamp them to better communicate my goals with the game, and my sincerity to finishing it. Everyone who knows me will understand the grit I have with finishing projects, and also my complete paralysis that comes from wanting to DO EVERYTHING ALL THE TIME. This is on my list to do for next week 😁 (good timing with your message Myriad!)So bear with me, and if my new descriptions don't fit your experience with owning the game these past few years, let me know :) Big Stuff - Arena mode is back - New start screen - Mac version is stalled for a bit due to some new build criteria via Apple Small Stuff - A million bugs have been fixed - Slight performance improvements in large levels How You Can Help I'm adding a new section to help guide all the incredibly passionate people I've met who just want to help. Sometimes this will be a useful section, other times it wont. BUT. Right now, I could REALLY use help identifying other REALLY obnoxious bugs in the game, I'm not talking about the occasional clipping through walls and stuff, more the things that happen that...Summer Sale!

Just wanted to say thank you again for all your support, Warcube is going strong thanks to YOU! :) Also, just a little sneak peek! Warcube's base price will be going up soon, nothing too drastic, but I feel the development has progressed enough that I feel comfortable that it's worth more, I'll probably do a sale soon, so keep an eye out for any friends that haven't gotten it yet ;) 0.4.0 - 10/17/2018 ----- https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/25954084/157ebd25aa857802194f155140a5793032841d08.png BATTLE EDITOR Okay so really everything under here deals with the battle editor, so just enjoy the GIFS :P Scroll to increase unit block size Still placing units by hand?

There's 3 new beta locations, all at varying degrees of done-ness :) if you can't tell already, my goal is loosely block in locations for a whole area of the map. One thing that I've found difficult with the Old Kingdom area, is how every few locations I'd create some new feature for the game, and suddenly certain locations are obsolete, or need a redesign :/ I'm hoping that by iteratively completing zones of the map, this will make that less jarring AND allow for better early feedback :D https://i.imgur.com/b3vQ1Pe.jpg Beta Feedback Info!

It's been a year of ups and downs, living rural has been a lot of fun when its warm out, but when its cold and you've got a kid thats learning to walk... not so much :P this update is a little late because I've also been prepping my portfolio for another move somewhere, though we're not quite sure where yet > discord.gg/Warcube Cool GIF I took of the late rendering process for the Viking Village Icon I thought you guys would like :D https://i.imgur.com/IVlv80c.gif Bottom Paragraph! Well, its been a bittersweet past couple weeks for me. Realizing that it's been a year since we moved here has been strange. I guess I just realize how MUCH can get done in a year, as well as how little sometimes? But I know thats life :) and there's been some weeks where I feel SO busy and gotten a ton done, and other weeks where I've ALSO been very busy... but feel restless by the end of it feeling like I haven't accomplished anything. Thanks for sticking with me, and helping improve this little game :) it's been a blast :D ːsteamhappyː -craigz https://i.imgur.com/DM9TmZ8.gifVikings & Supplies - 0.3.1v0Aug 3, 2018 - Community Announcementshttps://i.imgur.com/QVP9bZq.jpg For those who just want GIFS TL;DR GIFLOG New Beta Locations! https://i.imgur.com/eyHYmAF.jpg Fort Dumbshaf, got a content update, new set decorating!

GIFS). These posts used to take me pretty long to write, and some of the feedback I got was that people didnt really care much about the bullet points. SO I've cut all those out and swapped them for a video... and thats pretty much it? But I'm not sold on it... so PLEASE tell me what you like best, or maybe some other games who's posts you like to look at? Or even if you prefer reading this somewhere else! (just Discord etc) Questions for you 1. Is this new format s a good change? 2. Is there something from the old posts that you want to see again? Bug fixes/lists and their finders? GIFS? 3. Did you watch any of the update video or just kinda look at it and go... meh?

One that I'm pumped to say is super in line with what I hope the game to be, and after playing with it, I hope you'll think so TOO! :D there's some issues to work out with it, but give it a play and let me know what you think! :D Here's my big questions What would be some other fun things to build? Traps? Ladders? Trampolines? I'm thinking there should be another resource that you build things with. How does something like 'supplies' sound? Trying to stay away from having to collect things like wood, stone, rope separately, and instead just have one type of resource :) There needs to be a way to place larger blocks of troops, I'm thinking of making the scroll wheel toggle the size of the 'army block' you can place? (1 troop, 4 troops, 10 troops, 20 etc) The menu has 3 button categories, and I'm still trying to figure out what to do with the last one (it's a flag icon right now. My first thought was have it be special 'Troop Commands', like calling for a volley of arrows or a trebuchet strike etc. Which I think would be rad :D OR I'm thinking of splitting up the build category into offensive things and defensive things (traps vs barriers etc) https://i.imgur.com/Ujbc7jz.gif Beta Feedback Info!

But after lots of research I've found this is probably the best option. Not only is it more realistic, but it also helps with being able to really solidify faction culture and consolidate the game a little more :) Definitely let me know what you think about it! **YOU WILL PROBABLY HAVE TO RESET YOUR MAP UNITS, PRESS ESCAPE ON THE MAP, CLICK THE DEBUG MENU, THEN RESET MAP UNITS** https://i.imgur.com/jX8xcvX.gif Beta Feedback Info!

Well friends! Here's a fun little mini-update while lots of the Beta Locations are in the final stretch! :) featuring brand new fire system where you can: Light sticks/torches on fire. Light certain wood props on fire. Light fires/log stacks with lit torches Light enemies on fire, and they'll light OTHERS on fire. Light explosive barrels on fire. I also started working on sort of destruction system for walls, I'm not sure how big/in depth it'll be. But right now you can knock down certain trees onto them :D Check out Rebelwood Camp to see it in action! https://i.imgur.com/bqiBRWN.gif Beta Feedback Info!

I've also been devoting a lot of time to working on siege mode, and things are coming a long nicely :D https://i.imgur.com/td8dOpv.gif ***MAC BUILD IS USUALLY A DAY LATE, MESSAGE ME IF IT'S LATER THAN THAT*** 0.0.22.v1 - 06/01/2018 ----- https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/25954084/157ebd25aa857802194f155140a5793032841d08.png Fire System You can light your simple stick on fire AND other props as well!

I've got another pretty exciting update coming your way! :) introducing a dynamic battle map! If you've played other skirmish/RTS games then this will look familiar to you. Basically your spawn point in the battle is dynamically generated and so is the enemy's. This is just the first iteration of this, I'd like to have it change depending on what geographic features you're by on the map, and also add a better way to see/scout the enemy. My first though was some sort of first person view? Let me know what you think! https://i.imgur.com/ipKSypE.gif http://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/25954084/76154b1f26169971bb28f22ccf972a4bc991eb69.png I've been cranking along and getting a LOT more done than I hoped :) a huge part of this is from people submitting feedback on the Beta Locations :D I'm continually working on Siege Mode and (hopefully) will be ready to have some testing on it later this month/early next month. So keep an ear out :) thanks to everyone who's been giving me feedback through the in-game form, definitely feel free to revisit the beta locations I've updated and send along more! :D Also on a random note, here is a picture of a goose that keeps coming to visit our house deck... scares the crap out of us while eating dinner every now and then :P https://i.imgur.com/Mqt4sW4.png ***I'm currently having an issue with my mac-build, working hard and will hopefully have a fix within a couple days*** 0.0.21.v4 - 05/24/2018 ----- https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/25954084/157ebd25aa857802194f155140a5793032841d08.png Dynamic Battle Spawn Here's a few WIP GIFS I took while creating the system! https://i.imgur.com/EQdU525.gif https://i.imgur.com/TJ1UIUd.gif Fort Rebelwood (BETA) Introducing Fort Rebelwood!

Sometimes because they're just not finished, and more often, because I'm just not confident in the location 100%, so I'm super excited to tag these locations on map, so that I can get feedback from you BEFORE I release them :) I'll also be working to make the way you interact with things more clear too, like changing color when hovering over things you can interact with, or some way to highlight them.

ESPECIALLY because the size and scope of Warcube is still kind of murky... like what level of control is useful for when you only have 5 units? Or for when you have 100? Or when you're in a battle? Or when you're at a regular location? Those questions are usually what I think of the most. So what I've tentatively decided to do, is put in RTS styled controls, and then in a few more weeks (hopefully) I'll have put in more GENERAL style controls, like "everyone charge" or "everyone follow me". That sort of thing :) similar to Mount & Blade if anyone has played that. So let me know what feels good, or if you have any fun ideas for things to do with these controls! Like puzzles or challenges, or really anything that would be fun :) I'll also be working to make the way you interact with things more clear too, like changing color when hovering over things you can interact with, or some way to highlight them.
