Greetings, Platform Managers! 

The Board of Directors would like to take a brief moment to thank all employees for their continued mandatory overtime hard work in the wake of the Contracts Expanded update. 

We’re pleased to be able to share the below Key Performance Indicators from this most recent quarter: 

• Over 140,000 Platform Managers are now employed by Drill Core Inc. from launch.

• Around 30,000 new Contract Types have been completed.

• Average logged time per Platform Manager is 18 hours. 

• No competitor company has outperformed Drill Core Inc. even once during Competitive Contracts (according to our PR Department, at least). 

Naturally, these results are incredibly encouraging in our mission for world domination further expansion for Drill Core Inc., and the HR Department insists that we let all esteemed employees know how greatly we appreciate them. 

We strongly encourage all employees follow the corporate TikTok and Twitter accounts for a clear line of communication with Drill Core Inc., and also join the corporate Discord server to take part in company-wide conversations. 

With lukewarm regards,
The Drill Core Inc. Board of Directors

Hey Yolkfolk,  

 

We’re back with another exciting shell in the ‘Inspired By’ series... 

This time, it’s the Tallbird shell, in collaboration with the massive hit Don’t Starve by Klei Entertainment! 💙 

It may seem like a regular tallbird egg, but cracking the shell reveals a smallbird inside 🪺 

You can check out a sneak peek of the shell here:

Huge thanks to the team at Klei for helping us bring the Tallbird shell to life! 

The tallbird shell will be free for everyone to find, unlock and play with when Egging On releases this Thursday, November 6th! 

Also as you can see from our store page we are thrilled that Egging On is already Steam Deck Verified for those of you who plan to roll out whilst... rolling out?!

Hey everyone!

We’ve been waiting a long time to share this, Echoes of Elysium officially launches into Early Access on December 4!

This world has been years in the making, and we honestly can’t wait for you to get your hands on it. From the first day of Early Access, you’ll be able to build your own airship, team up with friends, explore floating islands, and fight back against the soul-powered Armada that’s tearing Elysium apart.

It’s been wild watching this dream grow from sketches and prototypes into a living, breathing world full of mystery, danger, and sky-high adventure. Soon it will be your turn to make your mark in it.

To celebrate our early access date announcement, we’ve teamed up with AMD, SteelSeries, and Alienware to give away a one-of-a-kind Custom Airship PC bundle, built to look like the JOAT (Jack of All Trades) ship from our key art.

Want a shot at winning the PC? Just wishlist our game on Steam and enter through the link below. That's it!

Echoes of Elysium is a co-op airship survival RPG where your ship is everything, your base, your home, your lifeline. You’ll team up with up to 6 friends, gather resources, craft upgrades, and fight to survive while exploring the shattered world above the clouds. 

Early Access is just the beginning of our journey together. Echoes of Elysium isn’t “finished” in our eyes, there’s still plenty we want to build, polish, and expand, but we’re incredibly proud of where it is today and can’t wait to grow it alongside all of you. You’ll probably run into a few rough edges or quirky bugs along the way (it’s part of the adventure!), but we’ll be there, patching, tuning, and listening every step of the way towards the full vision we have (we’ll share more on that shortly after launch!). We’re also already exploring adding more languages than we initially planned, so players around the world can experience Elysium in their own words. This is the start of something big, and we’re grateful to have you with us from day one.

We’re a small team of 14 devs who’ve poured our hearts into this, and Early Access is just the beginning. You’ll see us in the Discord, watching your streams, reading your feedback, and shaping the skies of Elysium together.

December 4 marks the start of something special, a living world that we’ll keep growing with you, one update at a time.

So get your crew ready, wishlist the game, and help us spread the word. We’ll see you among the clouds.

The Loric Games Team

Welcome to the first dev diary of The Guild - Europa 1410! We are excited to share more details on the development of our game with you, our passionate community, through these developer diaries, by covering various topics that we believe you will find interesting.

The Guild - Europa 1410’s development is underway, and it is no secret that we are taking it back to the roots of the franchise. Since our game will be reminiscent of the original Europa 1400: The Guild, we’d like to share what features inspired us in the first game of the franchise, and which ones we are adding our own spin to.

Europa 1400: The Guild was released in 2002, allowing players to build up their economic empire in an immersive medieval world. In a unique mix of life simulation and economic strategy, The Guild manages to fill a specific niche, garnering a loving and loyal player base to this day. Though it was released more than 20 years ago, this wonderful community and the appreciation for Europa 1400: The Guild are still going strong - which is why, when we embarked on the adventure of writing the next chapter of The Guild, we first took a step back and looked at what made the original The Guild so great. We intend to build upon these strengths by using modern tools and technology while preserving the unique feeling of immersion that The Guild always conveyed.

When it comes to the first game’s features, which we are bringing forward to The Guild - Europa 1410, a notable mention is the way characters are controlled in the game. You, as the player, will get to view the world from your perspective, not by controlling a character and moving it around physically, but rather by controlling the camera. Though this is different from later games in The Guild franchise, we want to bring back the immersive experience of Europa 1400: The Guild and let you feel the heat of managing your businesses and workers!

These screenshots showcase the inner city area of Nürnberg. You will eventually be able to expand outside the city walls!

The Guild - Europa 1410 will allow you to step into a medieval world, vibrant with life and opportunities. Various events will inform you of the things that are happening around you, many of which tell fantastic stories or interesting facts about your opponents. In Europa 1400: The Guild, you were sometimes notified of events, and you could acknowledge them and go about your day. We intend to enhance this experience by introducing more events, inspired not only by history but also by the evolution of the game world itself. Furthermore, you will be able to interact with these events as you like - with consequences, of course.

What about other significant events that happen in your medieval city, such as elections, court sessions or duels? The Guild was always filled with these events, and it was often hard to fit them all into the game’s world, which is why previous games used cutscenes to show the most important events to you, the player.

Our goal for The Guild - Europa 1410 is to create an immersive and believable world that represents what is going on in your game, while at the same time, allowing you to focus on managing your business, dynasty, and political machinations at your own pace. You will see fights on the streets, thieves scouting out buildings, crowds gathering around the bard, and many more events - but we will make sure that the amount of these events doesn’t feel overwhelming. This means that not all events will have a visual representation in the scene, which allows the game to create a plausible and believable backdrop for your gameplay experience. Of course, important events like office sessions are always visualized, and you can enter the Town Hall to watch them, if you like.

Elections ongoing in the Town Hall

Management of carts will get an overhaul, as well as how combat works. Furthermore, we are putting our own spin on the concept of dynasties and families, adding more depth and character to your AI opponents and creating more challenges for you to overcome. We will talk about these and other features in much more detail in our upcoming dev diaries, so stay tuned!

But what about the later games in The Guild series? Will we ignore them and only base The Guild - Europa 1410 on the very first game of the series? Of course not! While Europa 1400: The Guild captured the spirit of medieval life nicely - especially considering the technical limitations of the time - its successors expanded a lot on city life, visual fidelity, and filling the game with hustling and bustling energy.

While you will not be able to directly send your character around, your actions will have a visible influence on the city and its citizens. Together with your opponents as well as your allies, you will have the opportunity to shape your city’s development and rewrite its history with greatly enhanced graphics and, for the first time in any The Guild game, expanding city walls and emerging new city districts.

The various upgrades for your city include your city's walls, wells, pillories, and more.

That’s it for today’s dev diary! Next time, we’ll talk about your first business and your first steps into politics. What are you most curious about - how to build your business, manage your employees, or secure your influence in the Town Hall?

Heroes!

This update focuses on two great additions to the game:

• The Character Creator

• Explanation Tooltips

As usual, we also have a list of bugfixes and some balance changes as well, you can find those in the changelog section below.

As we teased in our last post, we are adding the option to customize your character's appearance to Titan Quest 2. Gone are the times of only selecting from a small group of predefined looks, now you can let your creativity flow and start the journey as the exact hero you envision. But there is one more thing we didn’t mention before: You will be able to share your creations with friends and the community! We are very excited to see your creations and have set up a channel for you to show them off and discuss them in the Titan Quest Discord.
Be sure to drop images and the codes of your creations there! To get your creative juices started, we have re-created the two “classic” looks from the original Titan Quest. You can find the codes for both of these and an explanation on how all of this works at the very end of this post below the changelog! One final note on the Character Creator: Currently you can only adjust the appearance for newly created characters. We are working on a feature to allow changing the looks of existing characters in the game. This will be added in a future update.

We are aware that until now it has sometimes been a little hard to understand how certain mechanics work in the game. We tried our best to explain them in the tutorials and the limited space we had, but as you know, games in this genre can get quite intricate.
With this new feature you will now be able to directly select underlined keywords in the tooltips of Masteries and get an explanation of how they work in depth. These tooltips are also “nested” so you can go deeper into them if needed, to give you a much better understanding of things.
We are looking forward to your feedback on this feature and hope it will make it easier to plan and tweak your builds directly in the Mastery screen itself.

Now to the full changelog for this update:

• Added subtitles to cutscenes

• Added option for item-comparison to be on hold or a toggle that can be set in the settings men

• Added unique combat voices for Accusing Shadow, Stalking Shadow and Empusa Magistrate enemies

• Added unique combat voices for Northern Beaches NPCs (Arrogant Engineer, Hostile Priest, Eyes of Pearl)

• Added post processing effects to Eyes of Pearl and Teeth Like Spikes dialogue lines

• Tweaked sound design for Hydroboar

• Increased Amplify increase +4/8/12/16/20 -> +6/12/18/24/30

Conservation Modifier: The capacity cost was too high for the sustain provided and took too much space from investment into other modifiers.

Abilities

• Fixed a bug where two consecutive ongoing effects on the same character could lead to one never being removed properly

• Fixed binding an ability multiple times not being saved properly

• Rogue - Grenade: Fixed arcing projectiles dropping at players feet due to frames

• Skylla: Fixed Skylla becoming invisible during the fight

After weeks of intensive Beta testing and near daily improvements and new features, the Remaster is finally live. I am not going to wax poetic on the emotional journey, except that my anxiety is at peak levels. I hope and pray this remaster shows the dedication I have for my games and that playing them is more than a quick experience, it's taking part in a creative journey that is now going on for over a decade. Couldn't do it without all of you. Now lets get into some details.. There is a lot to go over here :

The VR version has not been remastered, if the remaster gains enough traction, that might become an option. But at this time I don't have the means to allocate time to it.. Perhaps for the future. It remains Accessible as a Legacy boot feature.

Buying the games is support enough, but if you want to take an extra step consider following me on steam, it doesn't offer much (tho Valve have indicated more social features are coming) but you will see notifications if I release or announce new projects. And it helps me remain visible within the algorithm,
https://store.steampowered.com/developer/TomasSala style=button buttoncolor=#bd6500

it's important to note that even though I kept some notes, many changes were made at night or in the spur of the moment, so I cannot guarantee everything is 100% covered. Flying solo has massive drawbacks in certain areas. And making mechanics is often more passionate work than documenting changes.

• you can land by flying close to a perch, no button required

• Dash and acrobatics have separate buttons/controls

• added a deflection indicator to show where your bullets might land relative to the reticule

• enemies may spawn when escorting traders

• escorting trade ships may spawn enemies

• races give splinters

• races are optional and no longer required to unlock birds

• added caustic effects to shocklance

• added incendiary effects to shocklance

• improved collision accuracy and tighter movement to walls and so forth

• Added destructible  balloon visual FX and damage visualization. Tear holes into balloons

• player warbird model updated with individual feathers and detail

• player warbird has a leveled head when turning (as birds of prey do).

• player warbird has wing flexing and steering animations

• added a subtle wing retract when it's about to hit a wall or obstacle

Your achievements will now be clear for everyone to see right on your tank. Every fighter will know that they are playing with a real pro! Show your skills in battles and earn Marks—indicators of your excellence with particular vehicles.

 

Players with at least 5,000 battles logged are eligible to receive Gun Marks.

 

How does it work? Fight random battles in Tier IX–X tanks! Average Gun Mark XP is calculated based on your last 50 battles in each tank. It counts only XP without multipliers, team damage bonus, and victory bonus. To get a Gun Mark, you'll need to be a top player by average Gun Mark XP:

• Top 35% of players—1 Gun Mark

• Top 15% of players—2 Gun Marks

• Top 5% of players—3 Gun Marks

Future updates will bring Gun Marks to vehicles of other tiers, too.

 

Gun Marks are designed differently for every nation. They are displayed in the Garage, in battle, and on the Battle Results screen for all players, and your allies will see them on the loading screen as well.

All maps in rotation are back! You can play again on: 

• Rockfield

• Himmelsdorf

• Naval Frontier

• Faust

• Hellas

• Black Goldville

 Classic versions of Falls Creek, Middleburg, and Oasis Palms are temporarily back, too. You'll be able to fight on both old and new versions of these maps.

The fog thickens over the island.
Soon, you'll discover what hides behind the whispers of the sea...

I’m finishing the teaser cinematic and the final touches before release. For now, take a look at the new screenshots on the game’s page - while the lighthouse still burns.

View on Steam

In 2015, with only 18 Legends on the roster, we launched Brawlhalla into open beta on Steam. We had big dreams and we knew if we worked together with you all in the community we could achieve them. Dreams of Brawlhalla becoming a game that anybody anywhere can play with friends all across the world. 

Now, in 2025, we’re celebrating 10 years of Brawlhalla together with our 67th Legend, our biggest social feature ever, a graphic novel, an upcoming card game, plushies, and so much more. Those dreams we had in 2015 were humble compared to what we actually achieved together with you. Whether you’ve been here since the beginning, or just started playing yesterday, from the bottom of all of our hearts here at Blue Mammoth Games: thank you. Here’s to another 10 years of friendships and the greatest brawling Valhalla as ever seen.

We’re celebrating this full decade of brawling with the launch of GUILDS on all platforms, a new Legend: Lady Vera, and a new Anniversary Event Center. ⚜️

Live RIGHT NOW is Guilds Phase 1, which is all about membership. You can now join or create a Guild, recruit for your Guilds, apply for Guilds, and view & sort member lists. Guild leaders & officers will also be able to edit their Guild’s profile. That’s all the tools you will need to build your Guild and get it ready for brawling in Phase 2. 

Any existing Clans that have been active in the past year with more than one player in them have been automatically converted into Guilds.

Phase 2 – Missions & Battles drops next patch in early December! Check out this blog post for the full Guilds roadmap.
