Bulwark Evolution: Falconeer Chronicles News

“A map does not just chart, it unlocks and formulates meaning; it forms bridges between here and there, between disparate ideas that we did not know were previously connected.”
- Reif Larsen

Behold the Great Ursee!

The ocean world that stirs the heart, inspires the imagination and strikes eternal dread into the soul. To navigate this vast sea-bound world you need the most important tool a surveyor can have. The Map!



View your holdings as they are scattered over the expansive briny ocean. Use the map to fast travel between them.


Freelance Captains will appear on the map. A very useful tool for recruitment and bolstering your settlement, but you could always choose another option and sink them into the deep!


Suspicious locations will also be revealed on the map as you venture forth in the great Ursee. What mysteries will these hide? Only the adventurous will discover!


Trade routes are revealed on the map showing the positions of your ships. You can also pinpoint the location of enemy attacks. Useful for deterring rabid pirate attacks.



Play the demo and wishlist the game on Steam!

The brand new trailer gives you a glimpse of the Integration features available at launch in a livestream test from streamer D3gausser, who after creating a custom in universe avatar, finds out that the chaos isn’t just limited to the style of creativity in Bulwark, but in the impact that chat can have on his gameplay.

-some balancing fixes not applicable to the demo (due to the late game content being locked)
-commander HQ tower tops won't respawn every time you open the commander menu
-ship pathing for traderoutes will now try to avoid other harbors
-ship pathing for traderoutes will now try to go straight thru any drawbridges
-removed chromatic abberation from map
-fixed trade route danger levels now shown in map color coding
-improved lip syncing
-fixed some missing voice acting
-various small bugs and issues

Mouse changes
-removed the mouse stickiness when flying the surveyor
-when you turn of Hidden Build Cursor in the settings the cursor will now always be visible on the ground AND it won't reset when changing towers , giving a more conventional mouse feel on the ground.


As always , please report any new issues as a result of this patch

cheerio,
Tomas

With less than 3 weeks to go until launch, I decided to sit down and answer some of the most frequent questions I’ve been asked about Bulwark so far, and what makes Bulwark different from other city builders.

Covering subjects about the size of the game world, the reason for Bulwark's unique controls, what the goals of the game are for players, why I made the game in the first place, and much much more!

"It's not that type of game that wants you to go out and win.
It's a game that wants you to remain in that fantasy."

It is less than a month until the release of Bulwark: Falconeer Chronicles, and we challenged the community to play the demo and share your creations with us - and you delivered in spades, motivating us to give some of the community access to an alpha version of the full game.

This led to a STUNNING, settlement created by our Discord user 'Crushius', consisting of a population of 100,000 souls, over 20,000 individual buildings connected in a whole smart resource system, created in 32 hours.

We decided to use Crushius EPIC achievement to compose a trailer showcasing their creation, and celebrating the sheer scale and majesty that Bulwark's chaotic creativity encourages.
