Bulwark: Falconeer Chronicles News

The latest performance patch caused some achievement code (that isn't active) to nullref.

This might have caused hickups or even some strangeness when playing the game.
I'm not sure if it was noticable, but it was an issue for people within the closed testing group.

Fixed now, apologies if it borked anyone's first go with the game.

Development progression is back ! (slowly but surely)

So I came back from holiday and immediately dropped into Gamescom and it was good.
The game was showcases at the Indie Arena together with 150 other games. Which I guess says something about today's landscape eh.

But lo and behold at the end they handed out the booth awards , and Bulwark won best CommUnity (sponsored and managed by Unity via Twitter/X) award of the booth.

Any time where the public gets to choose is exciting and great, so what a great start of the next phase of development.

But you know me , shiney baubles and blinkey lights got me distracted, as part of the prize I got a steamdeck!!! And I booted up Bulwark and performance was a laggish 45-50fps , in an empty location.

That cannot stand. So today's update to the demo/build is a performance update aimed at lower spec machines. It stabilizes steamdeck framerate and makes it more 55-60 fps range.

I also added an ultra setting to the shadows, cuz that was easy while I was optimizing the shadow and AO.

Enjoy the little performance boost while the demo is online for a bit for Strategyfest, and let me know how it performs on your steamdeck ;)

So that's a little update, I'll be hard at work the next months, got some thinking done on the grander strategy parts of the game and I think some interesting changes are afoot.

As always shit may break, report any bugs or issues you find ;)

Hello everyone!

Just a quick update for you all that Bulwark is part of this years Steam Strategy Fest!
Coming off the back of Gamescom (Where Tomas won the Unity 'commUNITY' game vote - more on that next week!) we've joined the celebration of all pc games built around... well, building!

We'll be running this demo up until the mid point of September to allow folks who are not attending the rest of the UK physical gaming events to get their hands on Bulwark and start carving their very own civilisations out of the rock of the Great Ursee.

Those of you that have already been part of the Evolving Demo, we'll have a couple of pretty exciting announcements coming up very soon, so get in there and start practicing, or utilising the photo mode (Pro tip - hit the right stick when in photo mode for a cool time lapse of your creations) and share them with us on our socials!

Bulwark will next be physically playable at WASD in London on September 14th-16th - you can find out more at https://www.wasdlive.com/

Until then - go get playing, share the event with your friends, and don't forget to share your creations with us, and wishlist!

Bulwark: Falconeer Chronicles is live on the Tiny Teams Fest 2023.

Running August 3rd 6 pm BST - August 10th 6 pm BST.

Focussed on Indie games where 5 or fewer people are making the game. Bulwark: Falconeer Chronicles was a perfect fit with just solo dev Tomas Sala at the helm.

Indie games will appear on the Tiny Teams sale page, but they also will be streaming games throughout the week on Steam and Twitch.

At the close of the event, we will be closing down the Bulwark evolving demo for a short period to give it an upgrade. This gives you seven days to play!


As a community, you have been fantastic and have built hundreds of thousands of Command towers, Collected millions of metric tonnes of resources and sailed further than the eye can see.

We thank you for building your Bulwarks and we can't wait to show you more. Please make sure to wishlist as it helps massively with visibility.
