The future of competitive Worms W.M.D is in your hands. Even if you're not overly keen on the scheme at this stage your participation will show ESL the want is there and we can push through further scheme changes for future tournaments.

For those partaking, may the Bazookas be ever in your favour.

Hey Teamsters! The survey will be closing today after being up for a week. I would like to give a big thank you to everyone who took part. Your feedback is very much appreciated.

Winners of the prize draw will receive an email in about 10-14 days time. Please remember to check your Spam inbox just in case.

Take care everyone and enjoy Worms W.M.D!

All feedback will be passed on to the development team, and used to improve some of the game's features.

We appreciate completing surveys takes time.

• At the end of the survey there will be an option to enter the prize draw, with the opportunity to win one of three Worm-tastic loot bags.

Starting right now we're going to be introducing a monthly Community Roadmap!

The aim of the roadmap will be to keep you all in the loop regarding our plans for the game in the coming month, promote upcoming events and engage with you directly about new features that are in the pipeline.

By bringing you closer to the development process and our vision, we aim to continue crafting and building upon Worms W.M.D to support you and make Worms W.M.D the best Worms game yet.

So, things are pretty exciting update wise this month so let's get stuck in:



Many of you have asked for it and now it's almost here! Global Chat will allow players to chat to other online Worms W.M.D players and bring the online community closer together.

Whether you want to promote your custom scheme game, make friends or just chat Worms then Global Chat will allow you to do that.

Global Chat is also bringing a full UI change to the chat system. This will make chat much clearer using a 'tab' system rather than the little phone icon. This also means you'll be able to see the full lobby screen without the chat box covering up the important stuff.



Worms W.M.D hailed the arrival of craftable weapons, a whole new mechanic to let players customise their play style and react turn to turn on the battlefield with powerful new weapons and tools.

However, these weren't available for custom schemes from launch, but later this month you'll be able to pre-select 5 craftable weapons to be part of your starting loadout as if they were standard weapons.

We've had to limit this feature to 5 weapons for now so that we could get the feature live early. We have plans to expand this feature to full customisation on craftable/standard weapons in your match schemes, but, this is quite a big UI undertaking so will be coming in phases.

So from Ropers to fans of fancy weapons, your freedom in creating your ideal match is nearly here!



Exactly what is says on the tin!

We'll be watching the game very closely whether it's bugs, balance or a slight increase to the Worm plop sound. You can expect our support as we continue to refine the core game.



CROSS PLAY IS COMING!

We'll be holding a Beta this month to prepare us for a smooth launch of this much desired feature. This will then bring Windows, Mac & Linux players together to see who will reign supreme.

Of course we'll be wanting your help with this, so if you're on one of those platforms, do keep a lookout & make yourself known to us so you can pave the way with us!


That's October! We'd love to hear what you think of what's coming in the October Roadmap official thread here.

• Fixed a bug which was preventing issues on the UI in the editor after publishing
  
• Fixed a bug which prevented some animations from being triggered correctly
  
• Made improvements to the camera so it will correctly show damages to worms
  
• Made improvements to the post process effects on weapons
  
• Players will no longer search indefinitely after failing to join a previous lobby
  
• Made a tweak to the Parachute whilst on the Ninja Rope

Air Strike and Demon Strike

Ninja Rope
Correction for worm spin.

Gas weapons
Fairer initial distribution of gas, environmental factors should still be considered.

Minigun
More spread on recoil, reducing ability to gain max damage


Oh and one last thing, Global Chat, it's coming rather soon...
