Greetings Wildkeepers,

Today is a big day. After a long three and a half months of work, we're finally ready to announce that Wildkeepers Rising is very close to full release.

We've prepared this trailer to celebrate the occasion. I hope you like it:

As you can see in the trailer, Wildkeepers Rising will go 1.0 on October 23rd. That's a bit over a week away!

We will have a launch discount of 10% and Steam has a 30-day cooldown after that when we're not allowed to discount the game, so make sure you pick it up that week!

Before I give you details on what's in this release (hint: it's a BIG one), I thought it would be good to reflect a bit on our Early Access journey, and how you've helped made Wildkeepers Rising a better game.

From the beginning, our intention was to advance the bullet heaven genre with innovative gameplay. Besides covering the basics with a large variety of upgrades and enemies, we added many ingredients to the formula, such as autonomous Guardians, large and complex maps, custom missions, equippable powers (Sigils) and a bit of narrative.

Both the most successful and the one we feel most passionate about is the Guardians. We worked hard to provide a large collection of creature looks as well as gameplay styles and personalities, so playing with the Guardians would feel unique and rewarding.

A big emphasis during Early Access has been to reinforce the meta-game. We added a brand new mission type, Endless Mode, that removes the power cap and allows you to grow super-strong - but only if you can master the ever increasing challenge from the enemies. And in our latest release we also added gear, providing an incredible amount of possible configurations for your characters, and many choices on how to invest your hard-earned meta-currency.

The Early Access release shipped with three full environments, each with five new Guardians to unlock and a new Wildkeeper (the Chief and Milo), plus 10+ different enemy types and a boss. We've been consistently hearing from streamers and players that the game is much bigger than they expected, and we're very proud of having accomplished that (there's only two of us!)

In 1.0 we've added a full new environment: Frostpyre Peak. Half lava volcano, half frozen mountain, the enemies there will either freeze you or make you catch fire, so you'll have to be extra careful. As before, there are five new Guardians to unlock and you'll get a new Wildkeeper (Ivy) at the beginning. Plus you'll end up playing the biggest and hardest boss fights we've ever designed!

I won't spoil the surprise for what the new Guardians are, but they're pretty crazy! (you may spot some of them in the new trailer above...)

Besides the new environment, we've continued to polish, adjust balance and fix bugs. Here's a more comprehensive list:

• Massive performance improvements to both CPU and GPU. Framerate is faster and more stable and ever before, reaching a solid 60fps on a Steam Deck.

• Fix bug that was causing the game to save more frequently than necessary, causing performance issues.

• Polish the look of the Map Screen. Now you can see the Guardians and the bosses associated to the missions.

• You can now have 3 different save slots, no need to lose your progress if you want to start from the beginning.

• Manual Attacks have been disabled. We felt this feature was not adding to the game, as it's best played in auto-attack mode.

• Fix bug with enhancing Team Upgrades

• New Achievements!

• Buff some sigils, including Landminer, Dragon's Breath, Toxic Trail and Floating Wither, that were underpowered. Nerf others, including Vampire

• And some Guardian tweaks:

  • Kifoo will now track the damage done by hypnotized enemies and update his DPS.

  • Wally's super is now limited to an area (depending on his aggro).

  • Reeza now has a separate indicator for hatchlings and eggs.

  • Volcoy's gauge for calling a pack member can go to 3 - numbers changed to roman numerals

  • Increase the value for freeze upgrades

• Many other little polish items, bug fixes and balance tweaks

We couldn't be more excited to reach this point with all of you, after a long but rewarding journey.

But a lot of the work that we did to improve performance and fix a lot of the bugs has also allowed us to prepare console ports. They are currently in certification and we hope to release them as soon as they are ready, so if you prefer to play Wildkeepers Rising on console you'll be able to do that very soon.

In the meantime, let us know on Discord what you think of this release. We hope to see you there!

Lords of Ravage is now available on Steam! In this dark tactical RPG with roguelike elements from Synthetic Domain and 101XP, you stand on the side of evil. Step into the role of the mighty Lord of Ravage: command your minions, devise sinister tactics, crush your enemies in turn-based battles, and seek the artifact that could alter the fate of the world.

Lords of Ravage features:

• A tactical RPG where you embody pure evil. Become the Lord of Ravage and lead your minions to conquer kingdoms in deeply strategic turn-based combat.

• Three unique campaigns. Play as the ruthless warrior Berold, the witch-sorceress Zavrys, or the demoness Azneya. Each character has their own story, motivations, and devastating combat style.

• Meaningful choices and consequences. Conquer regions and decide who to spare or burn to a crisp. Your actions affect the Threat Level — the higher it gets, the fiercer the heroes' resistance will be.

• Faction and skill combinations. Build your army from minions of various factions, upgrade their stats, equip them with artifacts, and unleash ancient Decrees to leave your enemies no chance of survival.

• Adaptive enemies. Face off against heroes of different classes and with varying abilities. They learn, adapt, and will stop at nothing to bring you down.

• Pixelated 2.5D aesthetics. Dark fantasy comes alive through stylish visuals with expressive effects and atmospheric designs.

• Highly replayable single-player experience. Procedurally generated events, character progression, artifact collection, and multiple paths through the campaign make each playthrough genuinely unpredictable.

Louisiana is rich with street art, colorful murals, and striking statues - and our asset and map teams have been drawing plenty of inspiration from them for this upcoming DLC for American Truck Simulator. In today's blog, we'd like to give you a closer look at some of these creative works!

Louisiana's vibrant murals and street art bring even more color and life to the Pelican State. As you cruise through in your truck, keep an eye out - you might spot the "Experience Ruston" mural on one of the city's buildings, complete with peaches in the background.

In Mansfield, you'll come across two murals, both featuring the American flag but with very different themes - one capturing the spirit of a baseball game, and the other showcasing an airplane. Over in Shreveport, two more murals await: one is a lively, colorful piece filled with diverse imagery (featured at the top of the blog), while the other spans the entire wall of a tall building in the background.

And that's not all - you'll discover murals scattered across other cities too, from Lafayette and Baton Rouge to Houma. So next time you're hauling cargo through Louisiana, be sure to look around and take in the art that makes this state even more unique!

Now, let's see some of the statues we have recreated for this DLC! As you explore the streets of Baton Rouge, you'll come across the statue of Christopher Columbus in Columbus Plaza - a tribute to the famed navigator whose transatlantic voyages opened the path to European exploration of the Americas.

If you head west from there along I-10, the Atchafalaya Welcome Center houses a modest monument honoring the Louisiana Airborne Memorial Bridge and commemorating the service of veterans. Further south, in Houma, a touching statue of a mother and her children stands near the city court, adding a more intimate expression of remembrance.

We hope you have enjoyed today's blog! Remember to add the Louisiana DLC to your Steam Wishlist and don't forget to give our X/Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Bluesky, and TikTok a follow, as you'll receive updates about our games straight to your feed, or subscribe to our newsletter to stay informed! We look forward to sharing more with you in the future.
