Hey all!

We're just 5 days from the Early Access launch of Craftlands Workshoppe! It feels a tad surreal to type the words 'launch trailer' - but here we are!

Take a look:

God damnit Susan!

You can play the demo right now as part of the Steam Game Festival: Autumn Edition, and your progress will transfer over to the main game, so why not begin your business adventure now?



Please also consider hitting 'follow' on Craftlands Workshoppe on Steam! We will be running a launch discount, and wishlisting and following means you'll be notified when the game launches and won't miss out on the discount!



Happy crafting!

Capes will be set on fire in an all-new world of Puddle Knights levels. There's an entirely new gameplay mechanic, a fire tile that only metal knights can move through without an issue. The levels open up a new alternative path to the end of the game, and contain some tough optional challenges.

Puddle Knights now totals 127 puzzles.

Let's go for the biggest update Orphan Age has ever known! Buckle up, it's going to be a long trip!

First of all, the Black Flag's crew has grown and we are no longer a two men team! We are super glad to welcome Daniel, Florent, Martin, Laura and Harry on board. Thanks to them, we were able to add a lot of new things to Orphan Age and speed up our development process!

Thanks also to Francisc who organized long test sessions to allow us to improve the interface of Orphan Age!



So, let's go for the patch note:

New features:

• Cooking is now possible!
  
• New portraits for the orphans
  
• New furniture to be built
  
• New level up system
  
• New loot system
  
• A hope meter helping you to better manage your orphans' hope.

Thanks to your feedback we have completely changed many in game systems:

• Redesign of the craft
  
• (Almost)Complete redesign of the interface
  
• Complete overhaul of resources and storage
  
• Redesign of the tutorial
  
• complete rebalancing of the game

Backend improvments:

• Update of the game design tools
  
• Refactoring of all game actions
  
• New save system (which will allow you to keep your backups for future updates)

New feedback on many actions to make the game clearer:

• Feedback on the death of an orphan
  
• Feedback on furniture construction
  
• Feedback on quests
  
• Feedback on Hope's change
  
• Feedback on the change in the environment value of the rooms

There are still some bugs and we have planned to fix them by the start of November.

Thanks a lot and have fun!

Learning Factory's Public Roadmap

Captains, welcome to the Public Test of Update 0.9.10!

The "U.S. Battleships: Part 2" event, a new collection, and Key Battles. Take a look through the Developer Bulletin, and welcome to the test.

Starts: Thu. 08 Oct. 18:30 CEST (UTC+2)
Ends: Tue. 13 Oct. 07:30 CEST (UTC+2)

The rewards for activities on the Public Test server may differ from those on the live server. The new U.S. battleships are not available to research on the Public Test server.

The first ship for Key Battles will immediately be available in the Port with her stock modules. New modules and ships can be obtained by completing combat missions. A description of the combat missions is available in the game client.

One Wargaming container provides 1 day of Warships Premium Account.

• Every participant of the Public Test will have all researchable Tier VIII ships, helmed by Commanders with 15 skill points, credited to their PT accounts.
  
• The research prices for ships and ship modules will be substantially discounted.
  
• Players will be able to reset Commander skills free of charge.

If you're joining the Public Test for the first time since Update 0.9.9, you'll be awarded the following additional bonuses:

• 500,000,000 credits; 30,000 doubloons; and 90 days of Premium Account.
  
• 50 signal flags of all types (except special signals) will also be added to your PT account.

IMPORTANT! Because the Update is still being tested, the information in this Bulletin is tentative and reflects the state of game development at the time of its publication. Some changes and new features may be removed entirely or implemented differently by the time the Update goes live. Screenshots, specific values of certain characteristics, and details of in-game mechanics will not necessarily be relevant after the Update is released.

Please note: the rewards for activities on the Public Test server may differ from those on the live server. The new U.S. battleships will not be available to research on the Public Test server.

The event in Update 0.9.10 comprises combat missions, Daily Shipments, and a new collection dedicated to the U.S. Navy. It will inform you about the main batteries of battleships, admirals, medals for service in World Wars, and the main uniform types of enlisted men of the U.S. Navy during World War II.
For the purpose of standardization, the Directives have been renamed into combat mission groups.
"Always Courageous!" containers can be obtained by completing combat mission groups in the "U.S. Battleships 2" section and opening Daily Shipments. Each container holds one element of the new collection, as well as other rewards.
The "Always Courageous!" collection consists of four sections, with four elements in each.



The rewards for completing each section are five expendable Stars'n'Stripes camouflages and such patches as Wings, Stars, and Stars'n'Stripes.

Completing the entire collection will bring you V Oklahoma in the Military camouflage and a Commander with 6 skill points.

V Oklahoma won't be available on the Public Test server.

Elements of the collection can only be obtained from event-related containers.

We've also updated the Naval Base Port.

When Update 0.9.11 goes live, VIII Kansas, IX Minnesota, and X Vermont will leave Early Access and become available for all players to research.

A new temporary battle type—Key Battles—has been added to celebrate Halloween. A new themed Port emphasizes the event's atmosphere. Demonstrate your skills in an exhibition competition of the future by assuming command over a ship representing one of three corporations!




The new battle type pits 16 players against each other and AI-controlled monsters on a gigantic Polygon map. The main objective is to exit the Polygon through a portal located at the center of the map. In order to do so, you need to destroy one of the special monsters and obtain a key. The monsters will initially be quite weak, but they will become more dangerous as you get closer to the portal.



Instead of the usual rectangular Minimap, the new battle type features a round one with the player's ship at its center. It shows everything within the spotting range of your ship.

You start out alone, but you can gather a team of up to three ships directly in battle. Only one player can use the key, which is why you'll face a choice—go all the way with your allies, or turn your guns against them and escape as a lone wolf via the portal. To invite a player to your team, aim at them and press F.





The number of keys is limited. After the last key has been used, the remaining ships will be transported to a special area—the Octagon. The final battle takes place in a gradually shrinking combat zone. The last surviving ship will also leave the Polygon successfully.

For destroying monsters and other players, you'll get a temporary resource—Battle Points. Having accumulated a certain number of Battle Points, you can reinforce your ship directly in battle. For example, you can reduce incoming damage or increase the damage dealt by your guns. Once you earn a certain number of Points, a window will appear. This will allow you to select one of the two improvements. Use Ctrl+1 and Ctrl+2 to select. You don't need to spend any Points to make your selection.



Any Points you earn can be exchanged for various rewards in the Armory. Successfully escaping the Polygon will bring you additional Battle Points. Please note: exiting through the portal will get you more Points than winning in the Octagon.

The rewards for activities on the Public Test server may differ from those on the live server.

A total of three ships are available for this battle type in Update 0.9.10. Each of them offers a wide variety of modules that can have a significant impact on gameplay. For example, you could replace standard torpedoes with a type that temporarily disables all the main armaments of an enemy, but deal less damage. The choice of weapons is not limited to simple guns—lasers, plasma torpedoes, wavecasters, and mortars are all at your disposal. For example, wavecasters can destroy torpedoes in the water, while plasma ammunition heats up the target's armor and temporarily increases the damage dealt by subsequent hits of plasma shells and torpedoes to the same area. New modules are unlocked by completing special combat missions.

The first ship will be available immediately, while the second and the third are obtained by completing a chain of combat missions.
