Hello my friends!
The update 1.07 is now available!
Based on your constant feedback we were able to find and fix many minor bugs here a complete list of the fixes:

- Fixed problems with achievements
- Audio volumes fixes
- Graphics glitches fixes in some of the levels
- Performance optimized


PS: You'll find a new camera filter options unlocked after you complete the game!

Today we would like to give you a sneak peek behind the curtain and show you the latest assets we've been working on. Since during the next Steam Fest (that starts next week) we will share a playable demo in which you will take control of the Steampunk faction (just to remind you, the game will also feature Atompunk, Steelpunk and Dieselpunk), we decided to focus on this specific technology (that is steam) and show you one new building and one new unit.



Let's start off with the building first. The Time Machine is a unique building that can send units back in time before they received any wounds, or to the future when they're already grizzled veterans. Of course it is a technology unique to the Steampunk faction and its features can be very handy and give you an advantage while clashing with your enemies.



Now let's move on to the new unit. Automaton is a high-tech, offensive steam robot, and the best that the Steampunk technology has to offer. Super advanced clockwork mechanisms powered by condensed steam turn this giant metal statue into a beast on the battlefield. With the Windup and Clockwork Hearth action, it can increase its mobility, attack and even self heal after obtaining massive damage. When surrounded by enemies, Automaton can unleash a powerful Steam Bath doing massive carnage around itself. Yes, all you need to do is to wind up the clock, and this bad boy will fight for you all day long without the need to rest! Don't have to send our squishy human soldiers to the front anymore!



That's all folks for today, but more is coming! Don't forget to add the game to your wishlist (if you still didn't) and make sure to follow our social sites and Discord for more PUNK WARS news! Til the next time!

We got a minor update with the latest build, this makes it easier for new players to get started:

- Default settings now start with 6x6 map, since 4x4 is definitely beyond new players. This will also result to all players settings to reset.

- Market square spawn has been increased by 10%

- Camera movement with mouse made more responsive.

- Bridge bugs fixed, in some cases bridges could be built from bridges.

It's great to see leaderboards filling up and things getting closer to launch!
Thank you for all the people involved!

This week, learn when you can start playing RuneScape on mobile! We've also got a new installment of the Battle of the Monolith, some information about a new store, and an important notice about downtime. Let's dive in!

---

We're moments away from the arrival of RuneScape on mobile, and we couldn't be more excited! Skilling, questing, exploring and making friends - every experience Gielinor has to offer is at your fingertips, wherever you are. And with full cross-platform play, you can continue your journey from desktop to mobile, anytime you like. It's a whole new way to play, folks.

The really exciting news is that we're also fast closing in on Tier 4 of our pre-registration goal. This means more rewards will be unlocked for everyone to enjoy! So, rally your friends to sign up now and let's get those extra goodies!

The game will be available to download for free on iOS and Android from June 17th.




As Zaros' plan creates unlikely alliances and new enemies, the battle nears its climax... combat is calling!

But there's more, brave hero - this is also your chance to prepare for another great challenge that lies ahead. Join the battle and take this opportunity to train up to 75 Slayer, 74 Archaeology and 74 Magic. Let's just say you're going to need it for what's coming...


The all-new Marketplace store is officially open for business!

This new store is your one-stop-shop for everything you'll need on your adventures across Gielinor, from oddments and bonds to the latest cosmetics and emotes. It aims to bring the entire RuneScape shopping experience together into one place and will run alongside Solomon's Store, which will no longer receive new items.

Check it out by heading to the 'Upgrades and Extras' tab.



For more information, check out our shoptastic newspost.


We're having a little system brush-up this week, to make sure that we're completely protected from another login lockout. The team has already made plenty of improvements to add additional protection, but this extra push should fully eliminate the possibility of any other problems of this kind. For that reason, there will be extended downtime for roughly six hours on June 9th, running from 7am Game Time. Follow us on any of our social accounts to stay up-to-date on maintenance during the break!

• The Mobile Controls interface has been updated to use the new icons.
  
• Mobile Beta: The Black Hole Experience section of the Gower Quest has been improved. The puzzle can now be solved by 'Searching' the correct place with the required item in your backpack. This removes the need to use an object from the backpack on a place that is obscured by the UI.

• Pulse Cores: Fixed an issue that prevents the 'X' graphic from disappearing when deselecting a skill.
  
• Fixed a typo where 'Anachronia' was in lowercase under the achievement description for Bean There, Done That, Got The Postcard.
  
• The Endurance Mode prerequisite for the Sun Shade achievement now correctly shows 25 floors, where previously it was 14.
  
• Fixed an issue with misaligned text in the Settings interface.
  
• The Red Cerberus Armour tokens that are displayed on the Cerberus Rush info screen in Treasure Hunter will now correctly show the red token variant when hovered over.
  
• Fixed issues with the Ceremonial Sword tutorial. Sten is now in the right place during the animation and the Respect Percentage box no longer disappears after exiting or completing the tutorial.
  
• The achievement 61 Shades of Red is now marked as complete once the Daemonheim Slayer log has been completed.
  
  • This will also unlock the title 'The Bloodrager'.
• You can no longer wear a Goebie Mask and an Underwater Disguise Kit at the same time.
  
• Quest Journal objectives for One Piercing Note are no longer highlighted after completing the quest.
  
• You now receive coins after using Alchemy when borrowed power is set to High-alchemy and the Alchemist's Amulet is in the Backpack.
  
• Elves in the Arandar Passage now take damage from the Bladed Dive, and also respond with an attack.
  
• Grizzly bear death animations have been fixed.
  
• A wall near Varrock Palace now has correct collision.
  
• Resolved an issue with the Legacy Interface mode that was causing the additional Action Bar to be hidden if the Chat was also hidden.
  
• Fixed an issue with the animation for the Planting Flag Rest override.
  
• Black Stone Arrows are no longer consumed while using abilities on a target that is already at the maximum debuff.

Hello punishers,

This is the last development announcement before the update, which means the update is coming really soon. As you may know from the previous announcement, it took us longer to develop this update to get most of the core systems done. And in this announcement, we would like to elaborate on some of these systems that we have developed.



Home Building
Instead of our original design of unlocking furniture, we decided to give you a bigger space for creativity, so we implemented free-style furniture and object placement system, which allows you to purchase furniture and place it anywhere you want. There is much furniture available for you to design your palace with, such as beds, couches, bathtubs, decorations, torture devices, etc. And we can’t wait to see what your dream palace will look like.



 
Companion System
We saw how much you want to have your companions customizable, so we decided to implement it into the game. You can dress them up, equip them, and level up their abilities to whatever you see fit.



They can be mighty warriors who will fight alongside you and help you carry additional loot. But it is up to you what kind of role they are going to play in the battle.



To acquire new companions, you will need to complete the special rescue mission. You will need to fight your way through the dungeon and break the prison door to rescue the captured companion. Beware that enemies will keep generating while you are breaking the door. So better take some extra help to deal with the endless hordes.



Companions will be living with you in the palace, and you can see them bathing, chilling on the couch, or lying on the bed. In the future, we will add more interactions that the companions can do while at home.



 
Weapon Random Stats
Weapons, armors will get random stats attached, for example, additional fire damage to a sword. You will have a much higher chance of getting magically enhanced items from defeating a boss or loot golden chests.



 
Minion Scrolls
To bring more dynamics to the combat, the minions are now purchasable as a magical scroll that can be summoned in a battle anytime you feel like you need a boost. You can get different minions, such as skeleton warriors, draugr archers, orc swordsman, etc. You can take as many scrolls as you want as long as you have enough space in your inventory.



 
Bosses
Each map comes with a final boss that needs to be killed to clear the level. There are also mini-bosses and elite enemies waiting to challenge you somewhere on the map.





The game is finally getting more stable, and this update will be the one that goes to the main build after a bit of testing and bug fixes. So if you haven’t tried the re-mastered version yet, get ready, it is coming soon!




Stay tuned! Youtube, Discord, Twitter, Reddit, Facebook, Website.

On this very day 1,228 years ago, the age of the Vikings began. What marked the occasion was a particularly brutal attack on the monastery at Lindisfarne in the kingdom of Northumbria in England. For the Vikings it was just another day at the office, looting, burning, and killing, but the raid on June 8, AD 793 was the first time that a Christan sanctuary had been defiled by Norse pagans. It wouldn’t be the last time either, given the riches that many held and how poorly they were defended. 



Lindisfarne Priory, captured by Nilfanion

Since the expected level of divine intervention was minimal, shocked Christian leaders across England took to apportioning part of the blame for the attack on local people, whose apparent sinfulness gave their God an excuse to hold back his retribution - and no doubt the church to restore its riches through taxation. All this was of course lost on the Vikings, who at Lindisfarne had simply hit the jackpot and thereafter continued to target isolated religious settlements (such as at Jarrow and Iona) on account of them being low risk and high reward.

After Lindisfarne, the age of the Vikings continued to be dominated by hit-and-run raids along the coastal areas of Western Europe until the middle of the 9th Century, when the Scandinavians became the era’s greatest conquering armies, securing lands across much of England and Europe, as well posing a persistent threat to many great cities such as Paris.

The end of the Viking Age is aligned with the adoption of Christianity across Scandinavia and is marked in England with the failed invasion by King Harald III in AD 1066, who was defeated by the Saxon King Harold at the Battle of Stamford Bridge. It was a victory that led indirectly to Harold’s death at the Battle of Hastings less than a month later in the wake of the Norman Invasion. That event was to change England forever, and mark the start of the Medieval era.



Lindisfarne Castle, captured by Nilfanion

As a footnote, it should not be overlooked that when the Duchy of Normandy was established, it was handed to a Norse warlord, in return for which the ex-king Rollo pledged vassalage to France. In that sense, the Norman conquest of England a hundred years later was as much a Norse victory as it was a French one, since William the Conqueror was undoubtedly of Viking descent. In effect, the Viking warlords that held sway over much of northern England during the so-called Dark Ages, were simply replaced by a more cultivated Christian variant when the Normans united the land in their wake.

Hello there, Landlords!

We’re back with a bunch of fixes and balance changes inbetween the big updates. This patch includes lowered property prices, as we've noticed a pretty major issue with our price calculation formula.

Also, make sure to watch out for an upcoming announcement where we'll dive into what the next major update (Tenant Update) will contain.

All right, onto the patch notes part:

• Fixed a few issues with kitchen corner shelves.

• Fixed an issue with a required item not being placeable in the Tree House apartment.
  
• Fixed a few issues with Shopping Mall and Furniture Shop jobs' requirements.

• Tweaked property prices with an average price drop of 20%.

Thank you,
The Tenants Team
