The last few weeks have been incredibly exciting for the team behind ‘The Gardens Between’. We have been awarded MAC GAME OF THE YEAR and AUSTRALIAN GAME OF THE YEAR!
It is so incredible to be recognised for all of the effort we put in over the last four years of development. We are so touched by all of the support. Be it a tweet from a fan of the game or a big nod from Apple, our heart skips a beat. It’s as though there’s this momentary spark of personal connection with whoever we are hearing from. Like we are felt, understood, and we belong. As though you all know and own a piece of us, like a friendship, understated and subtle... just like our game :)
It’s such an unbelievable honour to have so many people loving the game, “someone pinch me, am I dreaming?” Especially since when we started The Voxel Agents TEN YEARS AGO (woah!) we were operating from a tiny corner of an office building, an old fire escape at the end of the hallway. We were right near the bathroom, practically in it. Everyone would have to walk past us to relieve themselves (the horror!).
From those awkward beginnings, so much has happened, so much has been achieved, but we are still as awkward as ever. I’m just hoping adorably so :P
Share a loving bond for December's official content update! This month is all about bonding, so that means a new boss, items, and enemies! It fits the theme I swear, bear with me here.
Features
NEW Boss - The Pale Whale! - There's no greater bond than the bond of obsession, and what greater obsession is there than the legendary White Pale Whale himself!
Still bearing the harpoons from his previous stalkers, this mighty Frozen Waters boss lies waiting in a tomb of icebergs for his next victim. Don't let his size fool you, he's as fast and aggressive as they come, and armed with a blowhole known to project ensaring bubbles and the occasional clingy starfish!
NEW Item - The Wedding Ring! - There is no bond more meaningful, however, than the bond of marriage. And with the new Wedding Ring item, you can finally marry* other players! Simply propose to a fellow crewmate by lightly tapping them with the ring, and if they accept, your very life essence will be BONDED, till death do you part!
*3 of the 4 developers are Legally Ordained Ministers. Does this make all in-game marriages legally binding? We'll let you be the judge.
NEW Item - The Tesla Crank! - The item every dedicated engineer has been waiting for has arrived! There's no bond like an electric bond, and that's just what you create with the Tesla Crank!
Simply walk up to a console and hold the action button to build up a charge. The longer you crank, the bigger the charge buildup, and the more you can boost the energy of any given console! These boosts don't last long, however, so crank wisely!
NEW Enemy - The Mechanical Hunters! - A new enemy has arrived in the Mechanical Abyss in the form of the Mechanical Hunters! These horrid creatures were made to sail around in their strange vessel searching for biological life to BOND their vessel with. There are four hunters per vessel, so keep a close eye out for these things, unless meeting these cyclopian intruders is on your bucket list.
NEW Lobby & In-Game Host Options! - New frequently requested host options have been introduced to lobbies and the in-game tab menu! You can now, at any time:
LOCK and UNLOCK a game listing, even in the middle of a session! For when all your friends have already joined, but you could stand to meet new people.
KICK players in a lobby or in-game. This one wasn't added lightly, but you guys were pretty loud about your desire for its inclusion. We better not hear about you guys kicking new players just for being new! *Shakes Fist*
Nematode Spawners! - These newfound fleshy eggsacs ensure the Sleepy Giant's stomach is always chock full of fresh Nematodes, making this boss fight that much harder.
Other Changes
Lobby UI reworked to accomodate new features. THIN sleek player listings just like momma used to make.
Online lobby listings now also display the submarine being used and whether or not a game is a Custom Game.
Fixed angler fish not showing up on radar.
Community Highlights
This month, user NateKomodo has created what has to be one of the biggest community creations yet - A We Need To Go Deeper Mod Engine! It serves mainly as an installer and framework for creating your own plugins for WNTGD, and while there aren't many plugins yet, NateKomodo already has a few in the works himself, among them a "Time Traveler's Inter-spatial Store" mod, an "Essentials" mod adding a variety of commands and tools, and others!
These mods will disable leaderboards when used, but can be uninstalled at will. Keeping that in mind, have fun, and thanks NateKomodo for your impressive addition to the community!
Find out more about NateKomo's OPEN SOURCE mod engine and how it works here:
Next, we had some more fun and inspired fan art come in through our Steam Community Artwork section! Give these guys some love and leave some likes and comments on their stuff!
Besides their major undertaking with their mod engine, NateKomodo has also proven to be a friendly, communicative, helpful member of the We Need To Go Deeper community. Whether helping fellow players with bugs and issues, or just being a good sport, NateKomodo has proven to be an overall nice dude in addition to his haxxor skilz and for that we thank you!
Two years ago we invited a small group of people of our subscribers in social networks to take part in by-invitation alpha testing. All these years, little by little, we were adding new content, new locations, new quests, and new game mechanics, being in close touch with our community. This is how the history of "Will To Live" began and WTL universe met its first guests!
Today we have good news for everyone, who is supporting us all these years and who has been keeping to support us after Early Access release on Steam!
The first news is that we reduced the price of the game! Now the game costs less, and we hope that now more people around the world can afford our game. We hope it should help to increase the popularity of the game. New prices will be available soon.
The second news is that we have just announced a first DLC which is called "Founder's Pack". This DLC contains some additional visuals for characters and weapon with custom skins. All these items don't affect the game balance any way, but everyone has got a possibility to lend us additional support by buying "Founder's Pack".
And, finally, third news! Everyone who has already got "Will To Live Online" will receive this DLC as a gift! The DLC will be sent gradually (this process is not controlled by us).
Thanks to everyone, who supports us, thanks to everyone, who helps us to make the game better!
PS: To get a gift, please update the game client, visit Black Market merchants and check customization options of your character.

There was an unexpected error to the Grimden Registration Event page that caused a temporary failure to sign-up for the event. This issue has been resolved now and we would like to extend the event period to the following date.
Previous End Date: December 9th (23:59:59 PST)
Changed End Date: December 10th (16:59:59 PST)
Please be advised of the revised End Date, and make sure to register for the event before the deadline for the exclusive reward package. We apologize to those who've experienced difficulties through this and thank you for your kind understanding throughout.
The game used to store scores locally. I've changed that in the latest build.
As people who are playing right now haven't updated their game, they are uploading their older local scores to the leaderboard leading to really high numbers.
I'll be deleting those scores for an hour or so. Please update your game.
