Be My Horde News

[h2]Hello, horde![/h2]

Does Moriana like Valentine’s Day? Well, of course, she does! It’s yet another opportunity for others to shower her with infinite love! Don’t hesitate to join us in celebrating and spreading admiration for Moriana among all mortals on this poor planet. In the end, we will all become her faithful minions. Why resist? Let’s embrace it!

[h2]EVENING DRESS IS ON[/h2]

To celebrate this special day, Moriana has a small gift for you. Her generosity knows no bounds, doesn’t it?… Well, maybe some… quite a lot, in fact… but you get the idea.

Update the game, and a completely new and fresh skin, Toxic Lover, will be waiting for you in our Lady’s wardrobe. Go on, try it out! It’s free to claim for the next month. After that, you’ll need to spend some of the souls you’ve harvested during your crusades to acquire it. Remember—love and suffering are often two sides of the same coin. Moriana understands this all too well.



Still searching for the perfect Valentine’s Day card? Worry not—we’ve got you covered. Our minions have created four unique cards, so feel free to use them!
You’ll find them in high resolution HERE.


[h2]IT’S GETTING HOTTER[/h2]

A quick development update—as we mentioned in a previous announcement, there won’t be any major updates in the coming weeks. That’s because we’re working on something MASSIVE—the biggest Be My Horde update since launch! It’s going to take some time to finish and polish, but we promise Moriana’s devoted followers won’t be disappointed.


To stay up to date, join our official Discord server, where we’ve launched a small project called MORIANA’S DIARY. We’re still building momentum, but this is where we’ll regularly share behind-the-scenes content, work-in-progress assets, and sneak peeks at future updates—all accompanied by words from Moriana herself.

That’s all for today! Enjoy the new skin, and make sure to spend Valentine’s Day indulging in some sexy necromancy. We can’t imagine a better way to celebrate the power of ETERNAL love.

[h2]Hello, horde![/h2]

Tomorrow is a very important day for us. On February 1st, we’ll celebrate the one-year anniversary of revealing Be My Horde to the world! Yes, one year ago, we announced the game and introduced you to Moriana and her malevolent horde. It was one of the most pivotal moments in Polished Games' history. After that day, nothing was ever the same…

[h2]DOWN MEMORY LANE[/h2]

Looking back, we’re amazed at how much the game has evolved and how far our team has come. And wow, how naive we were back then! Check out this cringe-worthy announcement from last year (our writing has improved since then, we promise), where we boldly shared the Early Access launch date: February 29th.

Well… that didn’t happen, of course. And we have YOU to thank for that! As you know—because we mention it in almost every announcement—Be My Horde was originally planned as a small, experimental project to help us learn a few things and build our team. The plan was simple: announce it, release it, polish it, and speedrun to version 1.0.

But then you stepped in. Your overwhelmingly positive feedback inspired us to dream bigger, to delay the Early Access launch, and to create something much more ambitious. And the rest, as they say, is history.

The evolution of Be My Horde has been nothing short of amazing. Just take a look at how much the game has visually transformed since the demo days. And that’s not even mentioning the programming and design improvements under the hood!



[h2]BLAST TO THE PAST[/h2]

Today, we want to take a moment to relive the early days of Be My Horde. Just for a bit of nostalgia. Be sure to update the game—we’ve added a new (but technically old) skin for Moriana: The Shamebringer! It’s a classic look for our seductive necromancess, straight from the days when she led her hordes in the demo. Just a heads-up, though—this is an authentic throwback, so don’t expect animations or facial expressions. It’s classic stiff Moriana… as weird as that sounds.

However, it’s also a SECRET SKIN! That means you’ll need to take a very specific action to unlock it. As a reward for those who read our fascinating announcements, we’re revealing the secret here—giving you an edge over other players!

To unlock The Shamebringer skin, simply click TWELVE times on the Credits Structure in The Dominion. And… that’s it! The skin will be waiting for you in Moriana’s wardrobe.



The skin isn't all will bringing with this patch along. We also provide the game with a few bug fixes. Check the patch notes out:
💀 Fixed Moriana disappearing while reviving on the Grim Shepherd skin;
💀 Fixed resetting sound options on relaunching the game;
💀 Fixed starting screen always having 100% volume;
💀 Fixed Kingdom tab in the Achievements UI;
💀 Removed 'ESC' as a possible key bind in the Controls tab;
💀 Fixed Richard’s auto attacks not dealing damage to Moriana.

This is probably the last time we’ll be looking back, but this anniversary gives us the perfect excuse to do so. It’s been an incredible year, no doubt, but going forward, our focus is on the future!

In the next announcements, we’ll be sharing details about the exciting new level we’re working on. Expect reveals of enemies, features, and all sorts of fun surprises very, very soon. Stay tuned, and don’t forget to join our Discord server! There, we’ve launched a special thread called “Moriana’s Diary,” where Moriana herself will occasionally take you behind the scenes of her crusades.

Take care, and as always…

[h2]Hello, minions![/h2]

Moriana sends her dark regards and wishes you (and herself) a year brimming with wicked triumphs! May her hordes grow ever larger, and her followers fall deeper in love with her—even if, ultimately, they don’t have much of a choice.

So, what’s happening here at Polished Games? After a much-needed break, we’ve returned with our heads buzzing with ideas and our hands ready to bring them to life. We’ve dived straight into brainstorming, discussions, and planning sessions to shape what 2025 will look like for Be My Horde.

We’ll admit—we’ve been a bit reserved when it comes to sharing development updates. For example, we’ve never released an official roadmap (gasp!), and at this stage we probably won’t. BUT we’re committed to being more transparent in the months ahead. Be My Horde began as a small, humble project, but thanks to the incredible response to our demo (launched almost a year ago!), we’ve significantly expanded its scope. After the Early Access launch and receiving even more great feedback, we expanded it once more! In other words, you may say we were improvising quite a bit last year!

Now, as we move into 2025, our plans are finally crystallizing. While there are still some unknowns regarding specific dates and final content details, one thing is clear: we have a plan, and it’s an exciting one! To show our commitment to transparency, here are some FACTS we’re ready to share with you right now:

[h3]FULL VERSION - WHEN?[/h3]

The full version of Be My Horde will launch later this year. We don’t want to linger in Early Access for long (the project remains intentionally compact), so we aim to release the 1.0 version in 2025.

[h3]HOW MANY LEVELS?[/h3]

The final game will feature three levels, each boasting unique environments, enemies, mechanics, and, naturally, epic bosses.

[h3]NEW LEVEL - WHEN?[/h3]

The first level, “Kingdom” (starring Richard III Ovine), is already available. The second level is set to launch in a few months. Development on this next chapter of Moriana’s journey is extensive, so expect fewer major updates in the immediate future as we focus on making this addition truly special and huge.

[h3]MORE DETAILS?[/h3]

More behind-the-scenes content is on the way. We’re lifting the curtain on our development process with more work-in-progress reveals and fewer secrets. You can look forward to regular updates here, on our social media platforms, and especially on our official Discord server. If you’re eager for real-time updates on new content, changes, or improvements, be sure to join us there!

[h3]FINAL LEVEL - WHEN?[/h3]

The third and final level will arrive alongside the game’s full release in the second half of the year.

[h3]WHAT ELSE?[/h3]

We’re focusing on replayability. Beyond creating new levels, we’re dedicating time to introducing additional abilities and features to enhance the game’s longevity. This is a survivor game, after all, so we’re aiming to deliver a variety of options and achievements.

[h3]MORE STORY?[/h3]

The story of Be My Horde will expand, but don’t expect a sprawling RPG. While we’re committed to crafting an engaging lore, compelling characters, and a solid script, our focus remains on delivering a straightforward and enjoyable experience. You can look forward to more dialogue with Moriana’s foes, a few unexpected twists along the way, and more actors joining the cast.

[h3]MORE SKINS?[/h3]

Yes, there will be more skins for Moriana. ;)

In the coming weeks, we’ll begin unveiling details about the second level, which is set to launch in several months. Starting in February, expect regular teases of new enemies and mechanics. But why wait?... Please, say “hello” to ██████, the next boss Moriana will face on her path. Who is he? What’s his backstory? You’ll have to stay tuned to find out!



Finally, a huge thank you for your continued support! Reading your reviews, hearing your feedback, and watching you enjoy the game has been nothing short of a dream for us. Take care, and as always…

💀 Toxic Relationship Make (300->60) opponents poisoned at the same time;
💀 Souls Spa: Heal (1000->300) Moriana damage in one playthrough.

💀 Graveyard Supremacy has been fixed, and there should no longer be an issue where gravestones did not count as urns, and urns did not count as gravestones when completing achievements.

💀 Changed the order in which achievements are displayed.

Praise be Moriana!
