Content Warning News

[h2]Hello all SpöökTubers! [/h2][p][/p][p]We know you're all eager for more news about Content Warning, at the moment the game is getting ported to console and we hope to launch those versions this winter, with that launch we will also be adding achievements to the Steam version. We spoke about CW's future back in April over here.[/p][p][/p][p]Some of the Landfall team, once again, took a break from our main game HASTE to go to a game-jam - this time with Another Crab's Treasure devs Aggro Crab and the result was PEAK! We think some of you who love Content Warning would also like this game, and if now feel free to ignore this![/p][p][/p][p]PEAK is a co-op climbing game where the slightest mistake can spell your doom. Either solo or as a group of lost nature scouts, your only hope of rescue from a mysterious island is to scale the mountain at its center. Do you have what it takes to reach the PEAK?[/p][p][/p][p]Check out PEAK [/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p][/p]

[h3]Hello everyone! First off, happy 1 year anniversary to Content Warning - this time a year ago we launched CW with no idea how many people would play the game! [/h3]

We're very grateful to you all for playing Content Warning even if there haven't been many updates since launch! 🙏 It's been great seeing the mods come in from the mod support update in December. Thank you to all the modders for making such cool stuff for the community!

We've explained a bit why here, but for those of you who missed it: the CW team took a break from a longer project called HASTE to make Content Warning. Once CW was more stable after its launch, they had promised to come back to HASTE to finish it together with that team, which they did. HASTE is now released on Steam!

With that said, we want to manage expectations going forward regarding updates.

Content Warning is not a live-service or early access game, which means that we can't promise updates with more content. The game contains what it says on the Steam store and any additional updates are a bonus.

The CW team is made up of 5 developers, all of whom have been working non-stop on several projects for the last couple of years. At the moment, they don't know when/if they will come back to working on Content Warning, but if they do, they will have to take a break first. If they do decide to come back and make updates for the game, we will keep you in the loop!

Finding games:
If you’re having issues finding other players, we recommend checking out the CW Discord, where you can find others to play with!

Ports:
We’re working with a porting studio to get the game onto other platforms, so we hope to have more news about that this year. Porting also means we will add achievements for PC!

Re the video extraction issues:
In the last couple of patches, we, with your help, solved several issues that led to videos failing to extract. We want to thank everyone who sent in logs and other information to help us fix as many of these bugs as possible.

There are sadly a million things that can lead to extraction issues for the videos, some of which we have no control over on our end (like one teammate having a weird file structure on their computer) but we have done our best to fix the most common ones. If you are still having issues, please check out our troubleshooting page.

Support:
You can find help in our Content Warning FAQ for the most common issues. If you still need help, you can also reach out to [email protected] for troubleshooting or to ask questions about the game.

[h3]Why mod support?[/h3]
When we launched CW there were immediately a bunch of really cool mods being made, so we're super happy to make it possible for those mods to be on the Steam workshop!

The CW team is small and doesn’t have enough capacity for continuous updates alongside their other work, so having mod support is a great way to empower the community to create cool new stuff! We had hoped to have this up and running earlier but it took a little longer than expected.

If you are a modder, here is the current documentation for creating and uploading mods: https://github.com/landfallgames/ExampleCWPlugin

There’s also an unofficial modding Discord you can join to find out more about Content Warning mods.

We can’t wait to see what kind of mods you all create!

[h3]Future updates:[/h3]
As we spoke about in our last patch, the dev-team is made up of five developers who took some time off from their main project to work on Content Warning.

The other project has been in the works since 2021 together with a bigger team, so it’s important to the devs that they come back to finish it. As we explained in our latest post, they won’t work more on CW during this time. Therefore, we don’t know when or if there will be more Content Warning updates.

That said we’re very happy with what Content Warning has become! It’s been a wild ride for a six-week project that blew all of our expectations out of the water. We’re thankful to you all who have been on this journey down to the old world with us so far, and we can’t wait to see what mod support brings!
