We're super excited to have Nookrium streaming Wildermyth today! He was one of the first streamers to pick up the game, and we're happy to have him back for our launch.

Wildermyth has reached 1.0! That doesn't mean we're all done, but it does mean we think it's a complete game and we won't be making big changes to the structure of it. We're coming out of Early Access, and we have a huge patch to celebrate, as well as some awesome content creators who will be working with us through launch week while the game is on sale.

Here's what we're shipping:


A five chapter campaign focused on Drauven. This story follows both human and Drauven heroes over the span of the campaign. It's complex and beautiful and we're extremely proud of it.

Over 50 achievements have been added to the game. Each achievement unlocks a piece of concept art or a theme skin. You can browse your achievements in the legacy browser or on Steam.

Some themes now have skins that can be unlocked with achievements. Theme skins are cosmetic variants, and once unlocked, they can be chosen in the customize section in the character sheet.


When a hero levels up, they will now often see 4 choices instead of 3. The 4th choice is for upgrading an existing class ability or theme attack. This is a very big change to how heroes are built, and we think it will allow players to be more intentional with their builds, and differentiate heroes more. 


We've revamped our generic campaigns, and it's a huge improvement!

Now instead of seeing generic events, each chapter will have an omen, capstone, and victory events that fit together, with a custom capstone mission. Some chapters also include custom keystone missions. These chapters will be mixed together to create a whole campaign. Some are monster specific, and some work for any monsters, but they all have unique battle maps and stories that match what's going on in the overall campaign. Right now there are over 20 chapters in the game, with several more on the way.


Ok that's a lot of stuff!

Tuesday: Nookrium
Wednesday: Penny Arcade Acquisitions Inc. C Team
Thursday: ReformistTM
Friday: Paul Soares Jr
Saturday: Seri! Pixel Biologist
Sunday: Blind IRL & friends

We're super proud of making it this far, but Wildermyth can keep growing. We'll be taking some time to evaluate our best course of action, and we'll make an announcement when we have a firmer idea of what our next steps will be. As always, we will be listening to feedback and fixing bugs. Thank you so much for coming with us on our journey!

Our 1.0 release is just 8 days away.

As part of our launch patch we have some big gameplay changes, which we are rolling out today on our "unstable" beta branch. If you want to take a look and give us feedback, we'd appreciate it.

We will *NOT* be including the new Drauven campaign or achievement features in this preview, and there may be some bugs, so be warned!

NOTE: these changes are ONLY on the unstable branch. They will go live when 1.0 ships on June 15.


1.0 Spoilers Below:

Generic Campaign Rework

We've revamped our generic campaigns, and it's a huge improvement!

Now instead of seeing generic events, each chapter will have an omen, capstone, and victory events that fit together, with a custom capstone mission. Some chapters also include custom keystone missions. These chapters will be mixed together to create a whole campaign. Some are monster specific, and some work for any monsters, but they all have unique battle maps and stories that match what's going on in the overall campaign.

Over 25 "chapters" are planned for launch, and most of those are working today.

Ability Upgrades are here!

When a hero levels up, they will now often see 4 choices instead of 3. The 4th choice is for upgrading an existing class ability or theme attack. This is a very big change to how heroes are built, and we think it will allow players to be more intentional with their builds, and differentiate heroes more.

As part of this, we've made some balance changes. In particular, we're halving the base scaling of theme attacks, but we now allow you to pick an ability which doubles the scaling (to where it used to be) as well as adding +1 base damage to that attack. So theme limbs won't be as good "out of the box", but they can keep up if you invest in an ability. Check out the full changelist below for details.

Mortal Choices and Final Moments

Wildermyth handles Death and Injury in a unique way, and we're leaning in to that. In place of our old plain mortal choices, we're rolling out a large number of more specific events. These events depend on the character and the situation, and give the hero one last chance to shine. Some updated Mortal Choices have been showing up in recent patches, and we're releasing many more today.

In addition to the Mortal Choices you know and love(?), we're adding Final Moment events, which occur when a character is not eligible to fall back. These give the hero some final words and sometimes offer a choice, although it's never a good choice. (The point isn't to make the death mechanically powerful, only memorable.)

Here's the full changeset:

I'm having a hard time typing this. We finally have a date.

It's been a long road for Wildermyth, and there's more to come, too, but we are now ready to call it complete. We'll be launching on June 15 with another full campaign focused on Drauven, improved Generic Campaign support, Steam Achievements, and hopefully some other fun stuff.

During launch week we'll be running a discount and we have some fun streams lined up as well.

We are incredibly thankful to everyone who played the game in early access and helped us improve it. It absolutely would not have been possible to make this game without you.

Moving forward, we hope to keep working on improving the game past 1.0. Our roadmap is here and you can see there are a few items there marked for future releases.

Much Love,
-Nate and the Wildermyth Team
