We'll be playing some of Turning Wheel's favorite achievement-friendly Workshop mods, especially the ones we think SHS will get a kick out of. Tune in to see some of the variety that the Workshop has to offer, plus get to know the devs! Feel free to come ask us questions or just join in on the hype!


We're doing this livestream to promote the Kickstarter campaign that's currently running for Barony, porting to new systems and adding all sorts of great new features for ALL versions of the game. That means you, Steam users!

If you haven't been following us on Kickstarter, now's a great time to catch up with some updates. We just released a great new update that dives into Barony's music:

Spring Heeled Studios is making this Kickstarter-exclusive leather case for Barony!


We have tons of other great rewards too for backers. Even if you're a die-hard PC player you've got a lot to look forward to by being a part of this campaign. This includes being able to design your own spell or legendary magic item!



[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]
This update is shipping the same day our Kickstarter goes LIVE! So it's a great time to get introduced to Barony and share it with your friends! Don't forget to follow us on Kickstarter so you don't miss the campaign!
