Stormworks: Build and Rescue News

Dear Stormworkers,

It is minor update release week! As previously announced, this update is a bit smaller than normal as we prepare for the major update due for release in 4 weeks!

Despite being small, there are some useful fixes which will be important to some players. Please see the patch notes below for full details.



Next week we will announce more info on the upcoming major update, and in 2 weeks, we have a minor update with many fixes and some exciting new content!

Dear Stormworkers,

The Steam summer sale ends a few hours after this announcement goes live! Stormworks and DLCs are currently on discount.

Recently we have been planning out the rest of the year and have been filling out our schedule with our goals for which new features and components to release, and when, for the rest of the year. As previously announced, the next major update is soon, and we are already working on the subsequent one.



While we have a plan for major updates and new features for this year, this is only a small part of our work plan, with plenty of time protected for bug fixes and improvements. Expect the usual rate of fixes and improvements into the future.

We are in a fortunate position, with loads of great ideas and suggestions that we can work on, that should provide a positive impact on the game for players, and are practical and achievable goals for ourselves. While we have done our best to select the highest priorities for this year, there are loads of great things that we want to do getting pushed into next year.



As well as Stormworks, we are working on our new game, although public release is still a long way off. Our new game is intended as a different type of building game, and isn't intended to replace Stormworks, so our plans for Stormworks support and update continue in parallel.

Catch you next week for the minor update!



Much love
