Before we started Yes, Brother, our idea was to create a sequel to explore not only Alberto’s and Isaac’s adventure, but also introduce them to a new place (no spoilers!). We believe this would be a rich experience since we want to expand the game universe, so we created Bara Giants to connect it to Yes, Brother. Our goal was to create a 3rd game in which Alberto, Isaac, and William (Isaac’s brother from Bara Giants) meet each other and end their adventure together.

However, Bara Giants brought us a new audience (macrophilia community) and we’ve decided to end the Yes, Brother adventure in this game. In the near future, we’ll launch 3 major updates that will change relevant things from Yes, Brother story, and today we would like to introduce you to 2 of them.

1. The 1st one is Bara Giants which will receive an update on the Halloween sale and William’s story will not end the way it ends.
   
2. The 2nd one is Yes, Brother which will receive a visual update for all pixel art assets (tilesets and characters). As you saw on Bara Giants, we’ve been making our own tilesets, so Yes, Brother will have the same aesthetic of Bara Giants.

Check out some photos about the visual update.







There will be a MAJOR update for Yes, Brother in which a lot of things will be added, but we’ll post about this when we have more things ready.

The visual update will happen on the Halloween Sale (on October 28th) and because of that, the game price will be increased by 1 dollar totalizing $3,99. If you have already purchased the game, you will not pay anything else for it, you will just have to download it again. (Sale files will be lost or will not work properly.)

We hope you all enjoy these changes and don’t forget to follow our Steam page to get the latest news.

New games will be announced soon!

Hey guys!

Small update this week, since we were doing funding applications last week.


-Added button for switching between different camera styles
//We still need to refactor the way the aiming and movement works for this, but it's fun to try out!

-Goal text flashes red when a team reaches 8 goals or higher.

-Rocks have a new material on them, that gives them a little more detail on edges.

Hopefully the last quick patch before launch tomorrow!

Now it’s easier to see which fighters are your main carries. Click the icon to switch the chart from "Damage" to "Damage Taken" and see which tanks are doing their job.

Mouseover a fighter’s name to hover the fighter unit. Click the fighter’s name to select the fighter itself. The bar will be green if the unit is alive, and gray if the unit is dead.


Previously, Classic 4v4 queue would form a match as soon as 8 players were ready. Now it will try to match you with players closer to your skill level, using your hidden 4v4 rating.

Due to the more casual environment and the importance of fast queues, 4v4 matchmaking is very "loose," meaning you'll match with a variety of skill levels. Keep in mind that the team auto-balancer will always shuffle teams to be as fair as possible.

We'll be monitoring queue times and matchmaking fairness in 4v4 carefully and tuning things as needed.




In the Campaign only, you can now quickly restart a match via the ESC menu. Note that the restart button is only available for the first 20 minutes of the match right now, due to some technical limitations.

If you're past 20 minutes and want to restart, use Surrender. It's faster than Quitting and also awards essence and XP.


Major Improvements
- Added a button to start a Classic 4v4 match if you have 8 players in your custom game room. If you're in a squad of 5-8 players, it's highly recommended to play Classic instead of custom games because it auto-balances teams, has card drops enabled, and gives bonus essence.



- Pinging units now shows additional information



Major Fixes
- Matchmaking: Fixed occasional cases of long queue times when there shouldn’t have been, especially for lower rated players
- Gameplay: Fixed some very rare cases where a unit would start at max mana, when it shouldn’t have

- Tab Scoreboard: Fixed a bug where enemy units weren’t hoverable after they died
- Client: Fixed some cases where the game would freeze when trying to quit
- Reconnecting: Fixed a bug where you couldn’t send Giant Snails after reconnecting
- Interface: Fixed HUD layouts not saving between sessions
- Translation fixes and improvements. If you'd like to contribute to translations, please visit https://legiontd2.com/translate. Any changes you make will automatically show up next patch. Thank you for your help!

Matchmaking
- Duo Penalty: Improved to be more fair. Slightly higher penalty in low Elo and moderately lower penalty in high Elo for skill gaps
- Loading Screen: While duoing in ranked, now displays your party rating badge instead of your individual rating (to help players better understand duo party rating)
- Loading Screen: Unranked players now display their actual rating badge to players outside their party (to show a more accurate rating)

Minor Improvements
- Bots: Now smarter about generally avoiding ranged mercenaries on ranged waves
- HUD: Unit range circles are now shown during the battle phase. Range circles are a little less bright around the edges.

- Game Coach: Now reminds you to hit “1” and “3” keys to pan to your lane/enemy lane
- Game Coach: No longer reminds you to hit Tab + Space
- New Player Experience: Fixed a bug where ties/match canceled counted towards your games played, which affected your initial rating boost

Stability
