Rocket Golf is now officially available. While the Early Access period went on longer than I had intended, I promise it was for good reason. As I neared the end of beta testing, a few problems remained. One was a very rare physics breaking glitch, the second was a needed game play component allowing players to fast travel. The first issue was resolved and the second was implemented. I cannot say how much I appreciate everyone that reached out during Early Access. Thank you.

* Don't hesitate to reach out in the future!

To say 2020 has been difficult would be an understatement, and also comically repetitive. The new year is, arguably, the most exciting time of the year, and it brings with it a sense of hope and motivation - a chance to turn over a new leaf. From everyone at Agiriko (like the 2 of us), we wish you a very happy new year!

This new year also marks exactly 1 year of development for MicroWorks - which is pretty exciting, personally, for me to think about and to imagine we made it this far. I mean, it all started with me casually going "hey let's make a game" to my programmer partner, like a naive fool. So here's to another year, hopefully this one seeing MicroWorks out to the public, at least in some form!


Parting ways with 2020, it is now time to outline what we'll be doing with MicroWorks during 2021. Earlier we've announced that we've entered the Alpha stage, meaning our base systems and features are all implemented and we'll be spending minimal time on these from now on. Our 2021 phase is split into two parts:

Overhauling: For the first quarter of 2021, we'll be focusing on overhauling and refining the game - the back end is all ready, but on the front end, our game is still all over the place with pieces scattered from the early Pre-Alpha and at times, even the prototype! We'll be dedicating this time to redesigning a lot of stuff and to bring the game up to near final quality, whether it be levels, UI, or any other UX element - we're smoothing it all out.



Once that's all done, all that's really left is..

Content: Oh, sweet sweet content. Effective immediately with April, we're entering a simple workflow where every month we'd focus half of it on microgames, and the other half on a boss stage. And I anticipate the microgames will be the lesser evil of the two, estimating we can get them all done in 5-6 months (less if we're lucky!). The real trouble here are the boss stages, which are very time consuming to design and turn functional. They're almost like a little game by themselves! So the plan is to take advantage of any opportunity we can to squish out another boss. If we finish anything early, you'll bet our focus will turn to a boss stage. And once the microgames are all done, it's only the bosses. 15 is a big deal, and we only have.. *checks notes* two.



So really, it's a very simple plan ahead that focuses on finally bringing the game closer and closer to your hands. I'm looking forward to sharing our progress and news throughout the year!

Oh yeah, speaking of bringing the game to your hands..


I anticipate that by the end of the (next) year, we'll be at beta and we'll be able to start sharing playable demos. But, if an opportunity arises and all the conditions allow for it, I'd absolutely love to have it demoed out publicly way beforehand! We'll keep you posted on if that ever happens. Please follow us on either our Twitter or Discord to stay in touch.

Once again, thank you again so much for all your support this year. Happy new year everyone, and let's make 2021 kick ass!

If the turkey, stuffing balls and roast potatoes weren’t enough to fill you up this festive season then this most certainly will. Put musket to hand as Holdfast: Nations At War is running an increased XP event from Thursday the 31st of December until Monday the 4th of January 2021 to see us into the new year.

It is a perfect time for players looking to climb the leaderboards to gain some extra experience on their way to the top.



Ram your shot and fix bayonets because over the duration of the event you will be able to gather an additional 50% of experience upon completion of a round! Rank up your favourite classes or stake your claim as the best Carpenter around with this final festive treat for the new year.

Not only will you be able to rank up your soldier at an increased pace but you’ll also be able to collect medals along the way. With the recent addition of the valour medal, this event puts it slightly easier within your grasp.

Soldier Rank


Here’s a look at all the medals you can gather showing your prowess on the battlefield.

Bronze Medals - Soldier Rank 5, 10 & 15


Silver Medals - Soldier Rank 20, 25 & 30


Gold Medals - Soldier Rank 35, 40 & 45


Decorated Medals - Soldier Rank 50, 55 & 60


Valour Medals - Soldier Rank 65, 70 & 75


Regiments will similarly benefit from increased experience collected collaboratively by their fellows in arms. Prestige and gather decorative banners distinguishing your clan as you make your mark on the frontlines!

Regiment Registry


Banners representative of the regiment’s rank will display when an enlisted joins the match.

Regiment Banners - Level 1, Level 50 & Level 70


Regiment Banners - Prestige Rank 1, 2 & 3


Still undecided to take part in one of Holdfast spectacles? Linebattle events which see players en masse make good use of formations relevant to the Napoleonic era are participated by these same regiments throughout the week.

The devastatingly beautiful sound of musketry covers the field as you stand shoulder to shoulder. Enlist in a regiment today and fight for King and country!

Go to the ‘Regiment Registry’ from the game’s main menu and have you pick or simply ask around on Discord. You’ll find plenty willing to show you the ropes.

Thank you so much for joining us on this journey! We just had an amazing launch of No Place Like Home and we couldn’t be happier to see so many of you playing our game, building the community and sharing your feedback. But we are also well aware that at current Early Access stage, its far from perfect and this is just the beginning of our work.

We are dedicated to make this game a best experience that we can and we can’t wait to share more content with you. We are already working on new animals, new crops, new crafting recipes, new npc with their own stories, dialogues, quests and of course new zones to explore! This is what we love to do and we hope that it will be a game that you love to play!

But most importantly we are working on delivering fixes to all current problems.


We have gone through all of your reviews, comments and suggestions and we have recognized issues that we want to address asap. Based on that we have prepared a more detailed roadmap plan for upcoming weeks and months.

Full focus now is on fixing all the bugs and making game much more user friendly and much better optimized. After that we will focus on upgrading current mechanics and providing more exciting content and new features.


We were so excited after a launch that right after short holidays break we have worked tirelessly to deliver you new patch.
