Warfork News

Hey Forkers,

You might have just seen a 30MB game update. WHAT!! the creator of custom maps, such as Our Package, WTF, babyimpreggers, gowhatyourself, warmandsticky, whatsparadigm, yeahwhatevah, and many more, has been hard at work on our first Warfork map, "return." Today, we bring you the beta version 1 of this map. It will be some time before the In The Keep servers and other servers are updated with it, but you can join our Discord tonight and play with us on a temporary server and join us in voice chat. We would appreciate it if you shared your feedback in this news post.

A special thanks to Boqu for the textures and Jazcash, goreyzr, snuffy, Oizo, TheCodingDucc, and Klaufir for playtesting the map.

Lastly here's a message from WHAT!!:

"Hi this is WHAT!! It's been a while hasn't it? My four year old daughter started playing with Legos and that put me in the mood to build something of my own. I shook off the rust and decided to make a new map because I guess nobody else is doing it these days. This is technically a beta which jives with the Warfork theme of early access so if you've got any feedback or notice any bugs drop a message in discord so I can fix my screw ups. Have fun ya'll."

Hello Forkers,

We apologize for the long wait between updates. Quite a few details had to be sorted out regarding Steam Integration, and things were put on hold for a bit. With that said, here is Warfork 2.13, which is primarily focused on squashing existing bugs. Special thanks to Htwo for giving our game some much-needed spotlight.

We would like to announce that we are seeking developers to contribute code for our upcoming Steam Integration update, Warfork 2.14. If you or someone you know possesses the skillset to help, kindly direct them to https://github.com/TeamForbiddenLLC/warfork-qfusion/ and https://warfork.com/discord The list of features we're actively working on for the next version can be found here: https://github.com/orgs/TeamForbiddenLLC/projects/5
