While Turning Wheel is hard at work on our upcoming "Quality of Death" update, we don't have anything new for you to play quite yet! That said, we've welcomed a lot of new people to the Barony community since last year, and we wanted to invite you to celebrate Halloween with us!
Barony's Workshop is loaded with great content from our creative contributors!
That's also where we host our official Turning Wheel mods, particularly seasonal overhauls.
With Halloween coming this weekend, what better way to play Barony than with the Barony Scarony Halloween Celebration mod? Check out the video below to get a nice preview of Barony's Monster Mash!

Never used the Steam Workshop before?
That's alright, I got some instructions for you.

• First go to the mod you like (such as Barony Scarony above) and click the Subscribe button.

The mod should download through Steam immediately.

• Then launch Barony and find the Workshop window.

All mods you Subscribe to in the Steam Workshop can be found here.

• The next menu will show all your subscribed/downloaded mods. Click the "Get Subscribed Item List" button on the top right if you don't see any mods.
  
• Click the "Load Item" button on the right side of the mod you want to play with.
  
• Then simply click "Start Modded Game" button on the top right.

Then you can proceed playing the game as normal!
All of Turning Wheel's holiday celebration mods are designed to purely cosmetic so that they do not change gameplay, or disable achievements. As long as nobody you're playing with us using gameplay-altering mods, you can proceed with achievements fully enabled in multiplayer, whether or not your friends are using the same mod!

While you're in the Steam Workshop, check out some of our other great content creators!

Hi folks, this announcement comes a little late, but I suppose it's better late than never.

In March we participated in the War Child charity event, offering all revenue from sales of the Barony as donations, alongside other game developers. We requested your generosity, and you showed up in force! We wanted to thank you for purchasing Barony during the War Child event, and let you know the impact!
As a result of your purchases, we've had the pleasure of giving $6500 to Charity total:

• $3250 to War Child
  
• $3250 to UNICEF

I wanted to take a moment to clarify also that all of that money went to helping children or families affected by war.

If you have questions about the charities we selected, we strongly encourage you to, once again, view information on the charities' websites:
War Child UK
UNICEF Ukraine Appeal

Thanks again for your generosity!

We remain hard at work on a massive Quality of Life update for Barony. Day-to-day conversation about our update work can be found on Discord and Kickstarter. If you feel out of the loop as a Steam user, those resources should help you keep up-to-date with what we're doing.
Once the update is closer to a shippable state, you'll see us update more here on Steam, but we don't want to confuse potential buyers about what they get with a purchase. So sorry if you feel out of the loop, but that's the reason why!

Thanks as always for your patience. Happy lich hunting!

As part of the RE-PLAY charity event, Turning Wheel LLC is donating 100% of all base Barony game revenue this week (23-30th March 2022) to humanitarian efforts for children affected by war, including the conflict in Ukraine. Speaking for the team at Turning Wheel, we are moved to express compassion for the regular people whose lives are torn apart by war.


50% of the game's revenue is going to War Child UK, the sponsoring charity behind the RE-PLAY event. War Child is focused on supporting children affected by conflict.
From their website:

"War Child is the only specialist charity for children affected by conflict. For more than two decades, we've been driven by a single goal – ensuring a safe future for every child living through war.

We aim to reach children as early as possible when conflict breaks out and support them long after the cameras have gone. We deliver life-changing services and support in communities affected by conflicts to keep children safe and help them to heal and learn for the chance of a better future."

The remaining 50% of revenue is going to UNICEF's "Ukraine Emergency Appeal", aiding children and families to receive life-saving supplies and services amidst the ongoing conflict.
From their website:

"The past eight years of conflict in Ukraine have already inflicted profound and lasting harm to children. Now, the immediate and very real threat to Ukraine's children has grown. Homes, schools, orphanages, and hospitals have all come under attack. By 15 March, more than 1.5 million children had fled Ukraine as war continues to ravage the country as families desperately seek safety and protection. Children fleeing war in Ukraine are at heightened risk of human trafficking and exploitation. Meanwhile, civilian infrastructure like water and sanitation facilities have been hit, leaving millions without access to safe water.

UNICEF is working with partners to reach vulnerable children and families with essential services – including health, education, protection, water and sanitation – as well as life-saving supplies."

We encourage you to donate directly to these charities here on their respective sites:
https://donate.warchild.org.uk/
https://www.unicef.org/appeals/ukraine

We get almost all our revenue from Barony, and while our team is confident this is the right thing to do, we do hope to continue paying our development salaries. If you want to support us directly, please consider buying Barony DLC.

Happy Valentine's Day! To celebrate this festive occasion, we have lovingly decided to put the game on discount for the next few days.

Okay, sorry for the bad pun. I guess I was just lusting for your attention.

If you or a loved one still have not bought our amazing game for some reason, there's no better time than to do so right now. We still have that massive UI update waiting just around the corner, after all...

Even if you already own this game, why not get a little festive and share your love with a seasonal screenshot? The official Valentine's Day mod for Barony is now in vogue, after all.

Happy holidays!

Maybe you got a copy of Barony over the holidays and you're ready to share it with a friend or loved one. Now's a great time to hop in with a 30% Discount!

We've updated our official Lunar New Year celebration mod for 2022 with the Year of the Tiger!
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2370938004
Demon enemies in the game have been made to look like vicious tigers!
We've also added door hangings and replaced the game's lantern with a red paper Chinese-style lantern, to add a little festivity through the rest of the dungeon.

The Lunar New Year mod, for the time being, changes very little about the game cosmetically, but as time goes on, we should see more and more of the dungeon join in on the celebrations. Like all our official holiday mods, the game is compatible in multiplayer and none of your achievements will be disabled.

In 2021 we ushered in the Year of the Ox and the Year of the Tiger update is a straight addition to that!
If you're interested in playing as an Ox in recognition of the Chinese zodiac, grab the Myths & Outcasts DLC! The Goatman race has been replaced by oxen all throughout the game.

Grab the Myths & Outcasts DLC here!

Cheers, and Happy New Year!

Hi all,

Small update to the OST in today's patch - The Hall Of Trials music has been added to the soundtrack DLC.

Enjoy the tune!

Happy Holidays dungeoneers!
It's that time of the year again. Steam's massive Winter sale is ongoing now. Not to be left in the snowdrifts, Barony is participating with a nice chunky discount:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/371970/Barony/
At this price, Barony's a great last-minute gift for that friend you've been meaning to drag into the dungeon with you. Pick up a few copies today and blast your buddies with a blizzard of Barony gift items through Steam!

If you've been following Barony over the years, you're probably aware of the "Merry Barony Christmas" official Turning Wheel holiday mod. Just in time for this season, we've put a little bit more love into it, so that you can bring the holiday cheer into your games with you.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1939517515
With the mod's v1.4 update, you'll see that most of the game's shields now are decorated Christmas shields. Succubus NPCs are now wearing a festive little number, and the game's text has been updated to include new hidden references, and to accurately reflect the items whose visuals have been completely changed by the mod.

Note that this mod is cosmetic-only and will not invalidate your achievements as you play!

And last, but not least, Barony has one of the best, most overtly Christmas-themed animated avatar frames anywhere on Steam! Go to the Avatar customization section of your Points Shop and click "Filter By Game" at the top to find Barony's Christmas frame!



We hope you have a relaxing holiday with your loved ones and that you're doing well!

Brief announcement for you!

Last month we held the Halloween Forever event where players of the official Barony Scarony Halloween celebration mod got the chance to influence a new piece of game content. The players have spoken! The most desired idea from the Halloween mod was the Mimic!

The original screenshot that the community voted for!

I should have guessed that when given the option to add delicious candy and silly costumes to the game, or a terrifying monster that can eat you, the Barony community picks the latter.
Thanks to everyone who participated! Congratulations to the winning player who submitted the idea!

We're still hard at work overhauling the game's UI and making it an excellent experience for gamepad users. I'm particularly excited about split-screen! We'll have more news to share on that soon.
Once that's done we'll be laser-focused on delivering our next big content update which will include Mimics!

If you're new to Barony, welcome!
The game is 50% off now in celebration of Thanksgiving. So gather around a cozy fire and gift your loved ones copies of your favorite co-op dungeon crawler. Nothing says "family" like a boulder smashing everyone flat. Of course everyone who owns a copy of Barony is entitled to the latest version of the game, so if you're excited for that update, it's never a bad time to buy Barony.

Thanks!

Happy Halloween, dungeon dwellers! Barony is the perfect game to enjoy this Halloween. Whether being terrified in isolation, or banding together in a monster squad, Barony has lots of ways for you to enjoy some thrilling scares! Thanks for being part of it.

With Monster Race DLCs "Myths & Outcasts" and "Legends & Pariahs", plus being a dark dungeon crawler already, Barony features tons content to chill your bones. But with the new FREE official Barony Scarony Halloween Celebration mod, there is more spooky content in Barony than ever before. We want to invite YOU to decide which spooky content should have a permanent, unmodded place in the game, complete with new gameplay.

To participate, simply:

• Take a screenshot or record a video using Barony Scarony,
  
• Upload the media to Barony's Steam Community with the title "Halloween Forever 2021"
  
• In the description, specify the subject in your media which you think should have a permanent place in the game, and a few words about how it could add to the experience

Whether or not you add any media of your own, browse the Screenshot and Video entries and like media that represents Halloween content that you want to be a permanent part of the game
That's it!
At the end of Halloween season, we'll review the community's contributions and announce the winning idea. In a future content update, that spooky content will inspire a permanent addition to Barony complete with new gameplay. No mods or DLC needed!

So grab the Halloween mod, the monster race DLC if you like, and start taking some phantastic photos and videos! To play with Barony Scarony, just Subscribe, and activate the mod in the game's Workshop menu.

Even more chilling content has been added to the Barony Scarony Halloween Celebration. Check out the trailer below:


Is there a better time to play as a monster than Halloween?
Buy the Myths & Outcasts DLC and you can play as a Succubus, Skeleton or Vampire.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1010820/Barony_Myths__Outcasts/
With Legends & Pariahs, you can be the star of your very own monster story as a Goblin or Incubus!
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1010821/Barony_Legends__Pariahs/
These are the features that we think will put you particularly in the mood for Halloween, but of course each DLC offers a lot more! Grab them today!

Thanks for your attention. We'll see you in the dungeons!

Welcome ghosts, pirates, zombies, monsters and mortals alike! If you're anything like us, as soon as summer gets close to an end, it's already time to start busting out your DVD copy of Beetlejuice and hanging bat bunting from your doorways. We just can't wait to post this pre-October Halloween update!

While you all are patiently awaiting our major UI overhaul, slated for later this year, we've provided this Barony Scarony Halloween mod! There's still a lot of programming work to do on the UI overhaul, and so we're giving some art time straight to the community with this mod.

You can start playing it right away by subscribing [for free, as always] on the Steam Workshop.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2612424349
Next time you launch Barony, just go to the Workshop item on the Main Menu, enable Barony Scarony, and you're good to go!

Like all of our official seasonal mods, all the changes to the game are purely aesthetic, and so you won't invalidate any achievements by using the mod. You can even download the files into your local mods folder and play with other people who aren't using the mod, and there shouldn't be any conflicts at all.


Some hoods and cloaks have been modified as a matching pair, so the Rogue class now always starts with some sweet demon wings and horns. Combine that with the Incubus face-paint and you'll be looking devilishly handsome, if I do say so myself.


We've replaced a lot of models with horror classics, like slasher weapons. And to give our ghouls a more traditional zombie feel, they're in their funeral suits for this mod!


While we didn't modify some of the tilesets because they're already pretty spooky places, we wanted to bring a bit of otherworldly horror to all of the places in Barony for this overhaul.


From horror to comedy, you'll have all sorts of costume options to compete for your gear selection.


What's Halloween without candy? All the food in the game has been replaced with Halloween sweets to trick-or-treat for.

Over the month of October we'll be making some more additions to the Barony Scarony mod. Was there something iconic that we missed? Give us your ideas in the comments!
Thanks for joining us this autumn to delve dungeons and celebrate Halloween with Barony!
