Barony News

Happy Holidays dungeoneers!
It's that time of the year again. Steam's massive Winter sale is ongoing now. Not to be left in the snowdrifts, Barony is participating with a nice chunky discount:

At this price, Barony's a great last-minute gift for that friend you've been meaning to drag into the dungeon with you. Pick up a few copies today and blast your buddies with a blizzard of Barony gift items through Steam!

If you've been following Barony over the years, you're probably aware of the "Merry Barony Christmas" official Turning Wheel holiday mod. Just in time for this season, we've put a little bit more love into it, so that you can bring the holiday cheer into your games with you.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1939517515
With the mod's v1.4 update, you'll see that most of the game's shields now are decorated Christmas shields. Succubus NPCs are now wearing a festive little number, and the game's text has been updated to include new hidden references, and to accurately reflect the items whose visuals have been completely changed by the mod.

Note that this mod is cosmetic-only and will not invalidate your achievements as you play!

And last, but not least, Barony has one of the best, most overtly Christmas-themed animated avatar frames anywhere on Steam! Go to the Avatar customization section of your Points Shop and click "Filter By Game" at the top to find Barony's Christmas frame!



We hope you have a relaxing holiday with your loved ones and that you're doing well!

Brief announcement for you!

Last month we held the Halloween Forever event where players of the official Barony Scarony Halloween celebration mod got the chance to influence a new piece of game content. The players have spoken! The most desired idea from the Halloween mod was the Mimic!

The original screenshot that the community voted for!

I should have guessed that when given the option to add delicious candy and silly costumes to the game, or a terrifying monster that can eat you, the Barony community picks the latter.
Thanks to everyone who participated! Congratulations to the winning player who submitted the idea!

We're still hard at work overhauling the game's UI and making it an excellent experience for gamepad users. I'm particularly excited about split-screen! We'll have more news to share on that soon.
Once that's done we'll be laser-focused on delivering our next big content update which will include Mimics!

If you're new to Barony, welcome!
The game is 50% off now in celebration of Thanksgiving. So gather around a cozy fire and gift your loved ones copies of your favorite co-op dungeon crawler. Nothing says "family" like a boulder smashing everyone flat. Of course everyone who owns a copy of Barony is entitled to the latest version of the game, so if you're excited for that update, it's never a bad time to buy Barony.

Is there a better time to play as a monster than Halloween?
Buy the Myths & Outcasts DLC and you can play as a Succubus, Skeleton or Vampire.

With Legends & Pariahs, you can be the star of your very own monster story as a Goblin or Incubus!

These are the features that we think will put you particularly in the mood for Halloween, but of course each DLC offers a lot more! Grab them today!

Thanks for your attention. We'll see you in the dungeons!

Welcome ghosts, pirates, zombies, monsters and mortals alike! If you're anything like us, as soon as summer gets close to an end, it's already time to start busting out your DVD copy of Beetlejuice and hanging bat bunting from your doorways. We just can't wait to post this pre-October Halloween update!

While you all are patiently awaiting our major UI overhaul, slated for later this year, we've provided this Barony Scarony Halloween mod! There's still a lot of programming work to do on the UI overhaul, and so we're giving some art time straight to the community with this mod.

You can start playing it right away by subscribing [for free, as always] on the Steam Workshop.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2612424349
Next time you launch Barony, just go to the Workshop item on the Main Menu, enable Barony Scarony, and you're good to go!

Like all of our official seasonal mods, all the changes to the game are purely aesthetic, and so you won't invalidate any achievements by using the mod. You can even download the files into your local mods folder and play with other people who aren't using the mod, and there shouldn't be any conflicts at all.

Some hoods and cloaks have been modified as a matching pair, so the Rogue class now always starts with some sweet demon wings and horns. Combine that with the Incubus face-paint and you'll be looking devilishly handsome, if I do say so myself.

We've replaced a lot of models with horror classics, like slasher weapons. And to give our ghouls a more traditional zombie feel, they're in their funeral suits for this mod!

While we didn't modify some of the tilesets because they're already pretty spooky places, we wanted to bring a bit of otherworldly horror to all of the places in Barony for this overhaul.

From horror to comedy, you'll have all sorts of costume options to compete for your gear selection.

What's Halloween without candy? All the food in the game has been replaced with Halloween sweets to trick-or-treat for.

Over the month of October we'll be making some more additions to the Barony Scarony mod. Was there something iconic that we missed? Give us your ideas in the comments!
Thanks for joining us this autumn to delve dungeons and celebrate Halloween with Barony!

We're back at it again with a FREE Steam Workshop mod for Barony, bringing a little bit of Ireland into the dungeon. Just Subscribe in the Steam Workshop, and activate the StPatty mod via the Workshop menu inside the game! From there you can join up with others who are running the mod.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2424373345

Put on your flatcap, pin a clover to your lapel and dive in!
We've replaced gnomes with leprechauns, food is now based on delicious Irish fare, and potions are now carried around in frosty mugs instead of flasks... and there's more to discover!
As always, the mod does not effect gameplay, permitting you to continue to earn achievements.
