Barony News

BONUS GOALS come to the Barony Kickstarter, making Barony a better game for all platforms once funded, and that includes Steam! All five bonus goals have been revealed:




The last bonus goal has been revealed, making Barony bigger and better!
The DLC will feature a brand new tileset, giving you an alternate path. It will feature new playable races which are friendly to humans as well as new monsters, spells and items within the new unique area! You can bet we're going to have some new lore to go with it. Furthermore all the items and spells added by our Game Master+ tier backers will be in the game at that time.
Learn more in our latest update.

A new backer tier has been added especially for home-desktop users who aren't interested in playing on a console, but want to support the DLC and Barony's development efforts. The new Dungeon Veteran tier includes just the DLC, plus exclusive access to development channels and closed beta test builds! In addition you'll get to add a name to the Random Name list!

• Bonus Goal #1: Crossplay for the Switch, allows online / cross-platform co-op with desktop players!
  
• Bonus Goal #2: Coop Ghosts & in-world callouts, improving teamwork
  
• Bonus Goal #3: Dungeon Seeds! Pick your dungeon to re-play or compete!
  
• Bonus Goal #4: The Compendium, an arcane source of knowledge and lore!

[h2]Thanks for stopping by![/h2]

Turning Wheel LLC is excited to announce that Barony is now available on the Epic Games Store (EGS). We want players to enjoy Barony on whatever platform they prefer, and we have integrated Crossplay into Barony, allowing Steam and EGS users to play together!

To celebrate this release, Barony is having a FREE WEEKEND on Steam starting today. The game will be available on sale for 50% off during this time.

This accompanies the Barony giveaway week that EGS is hosting. Hopefully you'll find lots of new people to play with.
If you want some help arranging a game, please join our Discord community.

All new players will be greeted with the Hall of Trials update, hot off the production line. This should make it a lot easier for everybody to get used to the game mechanics and dive straight into fun dungeon runs.

[h3]There has never been a better time to get into Barony![/h3]

We've simultaneously launched our Kickstarter for the Nintendo Switch version of Barony. This Kickstarter will add great features for Barony on ALL platforms, and we could really use your support! Check out the Kickstarter, pledge, and tell your friends!

Check out our press release on Gamasutra.

Want more information about what went into the Crossplay and Hall of Trials update? Read Wall of Justice's post on our devblog.

Explore the Hall of Trials which houses 10 challenges to teach and test your knowledge of Barony.
Even players who have beaten the game tell us that the Trials have taught them a thing or two.
And... Weird, some even say they've found -- like a bunch of secrets?? I feel like I would've remembered something like that.

All level design for the Hall of Trials was done using Barony's included map editor and the scripting tools within with no knowledge of coding required. Trust me, I'm not a programmer and I found these levels to be a lot of fun to make.



That means ALL of the things you see happen in these Trials is achievable by intrepid modders JUST LIKE YOU! Join us on the Steam Discussion boards or our official Discord channel and enjoy discussion and technical Q&A about level-building.

I hope these Trials inspire some of you to make your very own unique dungeon adventures, and upload them to the Barony Steam Workshop!

[h3]Other Map Improvements[/h3]
We've taken this map-updating opportunity to make adjustments to some of the level generation in Barony. In general you should be running into fewer inaccessible areas, fewer cheesable puzzles in many tilesets, and overall a slightly less claustrophobic experience in the Citadel specifically. We hope this makes the game a little more fun for everyone.



[h2]Trial / Kickstarter Co-Launch![/h2]
