Autumn Community Spotlight & Halloween Sale



Darkest greetings Underlords,

Subscribe to our Collections! Subscribe to the Steam Collection.

The nights grow dark and the days grow ever shorter as we head into the twilight months of 2019. It’s been a busy year for us at Brightrock Games, though we realise it’s been quiet on the news front for all of you, our valued fans, eagerly awaiting info on what’s next. 

To that, we say that 2020 should be quite an exciting year for us all in which Brightrock takes the next step. We can’t wait to share what we’re cooking up with you!

In the meantime, we’re keeping the dungeon core of War for the Overworld beating with this month’s community spotlight, and our participation in the Steam Halloween Sale!

So without further ado let’s get cracking!

Halloween Sale


With the spookiest of days descending upon Steam, we’re pleased to announce that War for the Overworld and all its DLC will be on sale in this Halloween! From now until 1 November we’re running the following discounts:

 

  • War for the Overworld - Base Game - 75% Off

  • Heart of Gold Expansion - 65% Off
  • My Pet Dungeon Expansion - 40% Off
  • The Under Games Expansion - 20% Off
  • Seasonal Worker Skins - 80% Off

 

Given the nature of the season, we thought we’d offer a spook-tacular discount for those looking to get into the creepy spirit of this harrowing holiday, with a full 90% off on the Seasonal Worker Skins, the maximum we can offer in a Steam Sale! You can finally grab that maimed imp the Jack O’Worker, along with all his seasonal buddies, for the paranormal price of £0.40 / $0.60 / €0.60! Head on over to Steam now to grab yours!



If you’ve ever fancied getting your hands on these 4 exclusive skins then now’s the best opportunity!

 
Autumn Spotlight


Before we jump into our selection of community-made maps for this spotlight, we’re announcing a few changes to the format!

Firstly, as WFTO continues to ramp down with the flow of community maps, and our resources available to curate them become less, we’re changing the cadence of spotlights to once every three months, or each quarter. 

This means that this quarter’s spotlight will be the Autumn (Q4) spotlight covering October, November and December. In January we’ll review the maps from the last few months and choose our favourites, and then continue for the foreseeable future!

In addition, where previously we’ve tried to select maps to match a predefined format and template, we’ll instead be more variable each quarter, selecting between 5 and 10 items from the workshop to feature, regardless of their category!

That covers our changes, so let’s get on to what you’re here for: the maps!



You can download all of our spotlighted content from the Steam Collection.

Congratulations to all the creators who have had their work featured today! We’ll be delivering your Golden Worker codes (provided you’ve not had one already!) next Monday! Keep checking the private forum attached to your featured work for your code. If you have any questions please get in touch with us directly!

As a reminder, if you have a creation, be that maps, art, cosplay or anything else creative that you think would fit our spotlight, be sure to make us aware on our Discord, forums or social media. We love seeing our fan’s creations and we’re really looking for excuses to give away this prestigious Golden Worker skin!



That covers our news today. As we said in the opening, we know things are quiet right now, but for Brightrock Games big news is on the way. However, that doesn’t mean we’ve forgotten WFTO - we’re still eager to push out some fixes to your issues in the coming months! So if you encounter any be sure that it’s in our triage queue on UserEcho, so that we can give it the due consideration.

And of course, don’t forget the Halloween Sale before this haunting season sadly comes to an end.

See you soon Underlords!

Wicked Ones Kickstarter Update - All Stretch Goals Unlocked


Last month we announced our collaboration with B-design.io who are developing a tabletop RPG game, Wicked Ones, essentially a mix between your traditional tabletop RPG mixed with the dungeon management concept you all know and love. You can read all about that here. 

We're pleased to share the news that the Wicked Ones kickstarter hit all of its goals with room to spare and as such all the War for the Overworld collaboration rewards will be made available.

 

That means all of the following were successfully unlocked:

  • Augre “True Monster”  – Unlock the ability to play as a War for the Overworld Augre, featuring special skills and abilities based upon the smith you all know and love. Crush your foes and augment yourself with the scraps of their destroyed battle armour!
  • Chunder “True Monster”  – The Chunder joins the fight! This portly hammerhead will make short work of any heroic adventurer, with deadly headbutts and viciously viscous bowels.
  • Heroes of the Empire Cards –   What good is being a Monster if you can’t wail upon a goodly adventurer or two? Each of these goals will add another set of hero cards based upon Empire units from WFTO.
  • War for the Overworld Splatbook  – The Big One! With this tome in your hands you’ll be able to create your very own adventures in the realm of Kairos! Featuring special rules, an Underlord mode, a sandbox map, faction details and much more, this will give your group the freedom to explore Kairos like never before!

We're really excited to be working with B-design.io on this project and we'll be looking forward to sharing news with you as it continues to develop.

Until next time Underlords!

Community Spotlight - June 2019



Subscribe to the Steam Collection.

You can now subscribe to all spotlights via our combined collection!

Darkest Greetings Underlord,

From the darkest abyss a new Spotlight emerges, bringing to you a collection of the most incredible, creative and even downright strange maps from the realm of Kairos. This month another seven realms and a massive twenty level campaign will be packaged together for you!

But first, a quick update on the Wicked Ones kickstarter that we are collaborating with!

Wicked Ones Kickstarter - Augre "True Monster" Class Unlocked


Yesterday we announced our collaboration with B-design.io who are developing a tabletop RPG game which is currently on Kickstarter. You can read all about that here. 

For now we're pleased to announce that the first WFTO stretch goal, the addition of the Augre as a playable "true monster" class has been reached. Meaning these awesome augmented monstrosities will be coming to the Wicked Ones RPG when in releases in 2020!



If you're into Tabletop roleplaying games (Dungeons and Dragons, Pathfinder etc.) then we think you'll love the Wicked Ones which crosses the DNA of those games with that of Dungeon Management games like War for the Overworld. It's the perfect experience for you and a group of your fellow Underlords!
