Barony News

Hi folks, this announcement comes a little late, but I suppose it's better late than never.

In March we participated in the War Child charity event, offering all revenue from sales of the Barony as donations, alongside other game developers. We requested your generosity, and you showed up in force! We wanted to thank you for purchasing Barony during the War Child event, and let you know the impact!
As a result of your purchases, we've had the pleasure of giving $6500 to Charity total:

• $3250 to War Child
  
• $3250 to UNICEF
  

I wanted to take a moment to clarify also that all of that money went to helping children or families affected by war.

If you have questions about the charities we selected, we strongly encourage you to, once again, view information on the charities' websites:
War Child UK UNICEF Ukraine Appeal

Thanks again for your generosity!

We remain hard at work on a massive Quality of Life update for Barony. Day-to-day conversation about our update work can be found on Discord and Kickstarter. If you feel out of the loop as a Steam user, those resources should help you keep up-to-date with what we're doing.
Once the update is closer to a shippable state, you'll see us update more here on Steam, but we don't want to confuse potential buyers about what they get with a purchase. So sorry if you feel out of the loop, but that's the reason why!

Thanks as always for your patience. Happy lich hunting!

As part of the RE-PLAY charity event, Turning Wheel LLC is donating 100% of all base Barony game revenue this week (23-30th March 2022) to humanitarian efforts for children affected by war, including the conflict in Ukraine. Speaking for the team at Turning Wheel, we are moved to express compassion for the regular people whose lives are torn apart by war.

50% of the game's revenue is going to War Child UK, the sponsoring charity behind the RE-PLAY event. War Child is focused on supporting children affected by conflict.
From their website:

"War Child is the only specialist charity for children affected by conflict. For more than two decades, we've been driven by a single goal – ensuring a safe future for every child living through war.

We aim to reach children as early as possible when conflict breaks out and support them long after the cameras have gone. We deliver life-changing services and support in communities affected by conflicts to keep children safe and help them to heal and learn for the chance of a better future."

The remaining 50% of revenue is going to UNICEF's "Ukraine Emergency Appeal", aiding children and families to receive life-saving supplies and services amidst the ongoing conflict.
From their website:

"The past eight years of conflict in Ukraine have already inflicted profound and lasting harm to children. Now, the immediate and very real threat to Ukraine's children has grown. Homes, schools, orphanages, and hospitals have all come under attack. By 15 March, more than 1.5 million children had fled Ukraine as war continues to ravage the country as families desperately seek safety and protection. Children fleeing war in Ukraine are at heightened risk of human trafficking and exploitation. Meanwhile, civilian infrastructure like water and sanitation facilities have been hit, leaving millions without access to safe water.

UNICEF is working with partners to reach vulnerable children and families with essential services – including health, education, protection, water and sanitation – as well as life-saving supplies."

We get almost all our revenue from Barony, and while our team is confident this is the right thing to do, we do hope to continue paying our development salaries. If you want to support us directly, please consider buying Barony DLC.

Happy Valentine's Day! To celebrate this festive occasion, we have lovingly decided to put the game on discount for the next few days.

Okay, sorry for the bad pun. I guess I was just lusting for your attention.

If you or a loved one still have not bought our amazing game for some reason, there's no better time than to do so right now. We still have that massive UI update waiting just around the corner, after all...

Even if you already own this game, why not get a little festive and share your love with a seasonal screenshot? The official Valentine's Day mod for Barony is now in vogue, after all.

We've updated our official Lunar New Year celebration mod for 2022 with the Year of the Tiger!
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2370938004
Demon enemies in the game have been made to look like vicious tigers!
We've also added door hangings and replaced the game's lantern with a red paper Chinese-style lantern, to add a little festivity through the rest of the dungeon.

The Lunar New Year mod, for the time being, changes very little about the game cosmetically, but as time goes on, we should see more and more of the dungeon join in on the celebrations. Like all our official holiday mods, the game is compatible in multiplayer and none of your achievements will be disabled.

In 2021 we ushered in the Year of the Ox and the Year of the Tiger update is a straight addition to that!
If you're interested in playing as an Ox in recognition of the Chinese zodiac, grab the Myths & Outcasts DLC! The Goatman race has been replaced by oxen all throughout the game.
