Wildermyth News

(The sale will go live a few hours after this announcement does, 10 AM Pacific, 1 AM in China, sorry for the inconvenience.)

We're extremely happy to announce that Wildermyth now supports Simplified Chinese. We've been working with our partners over the last several months to make this happen, and it's finally ready. To celebrate, we'll be discounting the game by 20% for a week. This is a major milestone for us as a team and it's great news for the future of this game.

We're still in early access, and we'll be listening to your feedback on the Chinese version of the game in order to make sure it's a great experience.

We had hoped to be able to ship the new Thrixl campaign, "Eluna and the Moth," at the same time, but it's not quite ready so we're holding it back until we're happy with it. It's progressing very well and that's the main reason we haven't been putting out a lot of other content lately. It's close, and some of the Thrixl balance changes you're seeing in the patch notes are because of our playtesting on that campaign.



We've been off our game a bit this month, but generally we aim to ship a patch every 2-3 weeks, and our roadmap is here.

We are raising funds to record the soundtrack with live instruments. Right now the music is made with sample libraries. Recording with live instruments will bring a warmth and life to the music that will dramatically enhance the playing experience. We want our players to have the best possible experience!

We have some great rewards for our backers, including a copy of the soundtrack, a limited edition pin, a music box, music lessons, custom artwork, a D&D session run by the composer, a custom event in the game, and producer credit! Detailed information about the project and each reward is available on the campaign page.

Throughout the campaign we'll be sharing lots of things with backers - profiles on the performers and team members of Wildermyth, behind the scenes information about some of the music that's been written, some info about our composer's writing process and setup, and milestone celebrations. We look forward to sharing these things and more with you!

Kickstarter is an all-or-nothing platform - you will only be charged at the end of the campaign if we reach our goal. Thank you so much for your support!

This patch crosses some important long-term work off our list, introduces some minor gameplay changes, and polishes up a few little things.

We now have an undo system in missions. The intent is to let you undo a move if you misclick. You get two uses per mission. You can only undo move actions, not attacks, and you can only undo if the move doesn't kill your character or cause a retreat. Total undos are tracked and displayed at the end of the game. (You can still just load your game whenever you want, too, of course.)

We've also change legacy recruitment at towns. Now instead of being able to pick from your whole roster at each town, each town will have a random selection. We're making sure that some high-tier and some low-tier legacy heroes are at each town. This integrates legacy heroes better into the story (you're "finding" them at this town instead of pulling them from a catalog) and also opens up more fun ways to find and recruit them during events.

We've been making great progress on our first translation (Chinese) and as part of that we have some tech improvements that will benefit other languages too, including a translator credit that shows per-event.

The Thrixl campaign is also coming along well, we hope to have more news on that soon!

We aim to ship a patch every 2-3 weeks and you can find our roadmap here.
