Shields of Loyalty officially deployed into 1.0 on August 12th — and the past two days have been an absolute whirlwind. Seeing commanders from around the world jump in, share their strategies, and offer feedback has been incredible.

For us, this isn’t just a game launch. It’s the culmination of a dream we’ve carried from those first sketches and prototypes, through the thrill of showing the game at Gamescom, to now — finally sharing the complete vision with you.

We couldn’t have done it without our community, friends, and fellow strategy fans who’ve stood beside us every step of the way. Your passion has been our fuel.

Loyal commanders, we'll deploy our fist patch today. This patch will fix the level 1.3 bug as well as many other topics. We'll drop a patch note with the fix.

One of the most impactful ways you can support the game right now is by leaving a Steam review. Whether it’s a few words about your favorite moment, your go-to strategy, or just why you enjoy the game — your review helps more players discover Shields of Loyalty and strengthens our community.

Please don't miss to share your feedback in our Steam Board or join our discord and drop a post there. Please sent all your appropriate save game files refering to your bugs repoorted to --> https://support@mosaicmask-studio.com

Your thoughts, from balance suggestions to “something’s not working quite right” reports, help us push Shields of Loyalty to its best form. Every bit of feedback helps us refine the game. Please share them in our Steam Discussion Board.

To celebrate the launch, you can save 30% until August 26th!

Hello everyone,

big update today.

Better Than Dead now has a publisher... MicroProse.

As a long-time PC player, that name takes me back to my first serious games... my first sleepless nights... and my first dogfights. Working with them is an honor.

Nothing changes on my side — I keep building, same pace, same direction. But their experience and support will surely help the game’s development.

If you want to follow closer or say hi, here are the community spots:

Thanks to everyone following the project. Your support keeps this moving.

...And remember to Wishlist Better Than Dead here on Steam!
