Bulwark Evolution: Falconeer Chronicles News

Ahoy, matey!

Ye be wantin’ to know more about the Bulwark: Falconeer Chronicles demo that is joinin’ the Pirates & Ninjas Fest on Steam, eh? Well, shiver me timbers, I’ve got some news for ye. 🏴‍☠️

Bulwark: Falconeer Chronicles is a game that lets ye build yer own pirate fortress in a vast and fantastical ocean world. Ye can explore the cliffs and waters, scavenge resources, trade with other factions, and wage war upon yer enemies. Ye can also fly yer own airship or giant warbird and engage in aerial combat with other ships. It’s a game of freedom and expression, where ye can create anything ye can imagine. 🌊

But that’s not all. The demo has been updated with some new features and improvements that make it even more fun and exciting. Here are some of them:

• A political system that monitors which refugees ye bring into yer settlement and how they affect the balance of factions in yer settlement.
  
• A dominant faction that in turn will allow more advanced captains and commanders of that faction to join ye.
  
• Enroll aggressive Faction Leaders that unlock even more new building options and vehicles as well as inciting raids and combat encounters.
  
• The introduction of new captains and combat captains with their own set of perks.
  
• A campaign option to skip the tutorial and dive right into the action (for hardcore players).
  
• New random events and encounters (Including Pirate Skullship Captains!).
  
• An increased range for buildings to snap, allowing for larger sprawling constructions.

So what are ye waitin’ for? Go ahead and wishlist Bulwark: Falconeer Chronicles on Steam now and get ready for launch on March 26th. Ye’ll get to try out the demo for free and see what adventures await ye in this pirate paradise.

Arrr! ⛵

Good afternoon Surveyors - hope you've had a stress free start to 2024!

It's been pretty exciting round these parts, as Tomas moves through the late stages of development and gets to adding / finishing a lot of the features he hinted at in his blog at the start of the month (more on these soon, lots of HOT things to talk about in depth with you)

[h2]Debugging you for a second[/h2]

On top of that however, this week the fine folks at Debug (connoisseurs and evangelists of all things Indie!) announced their 2024 Indie awards - and Bulwark was nominated in their 'Most Anticipated' category!

There are some amazing indies in every category that definitely deserve your awareness and attention - so be sure to go through and check them out and cast your votes (did we mention we kind of think indies are a big deal and you are superstars for supporting them? thanks!) - but if each of you could share your enthusiasm for Bulwark and get a shiny new award for us to stick on the Bulwark Steam page, Tomas would be overjoyed!

Voting is open NOW and can be found here : https://www.teamdebug.com/awards/vote#nominees-most-anticipated

Debug aren't the only ones keeping their eyes firmly on Bulwarks sheer cliffs and mesmerizing oceans however - with the folks at PCGamer listing Bulwark alongside their most anticipated building games of 2024.

The article is great, and features some bigger games you're probably aware of, and one or two others that might tickle that building itch whilst you wait to build your bulwark, such as frostpunk 2 and kaiserpunk (lot of punk names in there... maybe we need to give the advisor a mohawk and rebrand as Bulwarkpunk?)

[h2]Save the date[/h2]

Right, that's the chest beating out of the way. Again, thank you for any and all votes you cast for us. I thought we'd wrap up with a little update on timelines and things to come.

Obviously you should all be following Tomas' social account on Twitter (not quite ready to call it X yet) to stay at the bleeding edge of the latest developments and ideas and additions as they fall from his brain onto his dev machine - but for those of you that aren't socially inclined - cast your eyes on his previous blog for the latest implementations that have been added since the end of the Evolving demo.

Whilst I'm not going to 100% drop the date just now - I'm happy to confirm that this month we'll be bringing the demo BACK - in a non-evolving form, with a ton of new features mentioned in that blog included.

The plan is for this demo to be THE demo, non-evolving - with no feature restrictions beyond building count (to control how far you can progress), left live from now all the way to launch and beyond.
Naturally with the fact we announced Bulwark coming to Xbox and PlayStation, the demo will also be playable on these systems, allowing you to paint the landscape from your couch if that's how you prefer.

We'll be planning some talk throughs of the new features in the coming weeks to educate you in advance of how to make the most of your time with the new updated demo - as well as getting some competitions out there to encourage you all to get your creative side out and share the glory of Bulwark with the wider world - but for now, standby, be excited for a new demo and some VERY hot announcements off the back of it (someone say release date?),and thank you all for your support so far.

Right - that's gonna do it for now, have another nice new shiny screenshot as a thank you for making it this far, and don't forget to drop a wishlist if you haven't already - you'll secure a PWERFUL dreadnot naval unit to guard your waters - and of course, help the Steam algorithm gods spread the word of Bulwark far and wide.

Have a great week! We'll be in touch soon!

- Gary, Wired Productions.

Glad to close the book on this year, I have hopes for this new one. But if you need a virtual castle to hide away in, I'll have that for you in 2024.



Also I have been working very hard on the game and there are a ton of new features I want to talk to you about and with some luck the next few months or even weeks will be full of that. For now I'm still working on the final bits.

But hopefully we'll get to talk about :

• Dangerous traderoutes
  
• Resource depletion
  
• Soultrees and commander/captain unlocking
  
• inventory screens
  
• Unit and surveyor experience
  
• 4 different surveyors
  
• trade with faction settlements
  
• war with other factions
  
• Wonders!, Giant turtles, mawsprings and more!
  
• An entire new additional set of command tower foundations
  
• An entire new additional set of command tower balconies.
  
• New encounters and tradesfolk that enhance your settlement with statues, taverns and shops.
  
• New unique buildings!
  
• All the other stuff I forget while I'm typing this.
  
  

Very soon in '24, as soon as I catch a breath (or the folks at Wired Productions start prodding me) I'll be back here to discuss all the work that's been done.

'24 is going to be the year for Bulwark, Exciting times!
Have a good one and stay safe!
Tomas Sala
