We want to share with you news regarding the development of DAB'S NOT DEAD and it's release.

There has been a lot of going on in the past few months that our tiny 2 person team could not really predict. We did magage to finish up Adventure mode, complete the game's soundtrack, improve Arcade mode, and overall polish the game in many ways that surely bring us closer to the release.

However, due to personal and work circumstances we were forced to slow down with the development and it's now sure that DAB'S NOT DEAD will not be released in 2021.

We want to get back on track asap and the good news is that we've secured additional budget for the development, so the whole thing is going to be way less stressful for us and we'll be able to spend more time working on the game!

We're really sorry about the delay and we very much hope to release DAB'S NOT DEAD in 2022!

The sons and daughters of the Highlands have answered the call to fight for freedom, and three brand-new Seasonal Units are coming to Season X: Highlanders. The first of these new Units brings a brand-new battle mechanic to the fray: the Bagpipers (3-Star).

Historically, the bagpipes were so feared as a “weapon of war” that they were classified as such until as recently as 1996. To Scottish armies of old, bagpipes were more than just an instrument—they were a political symbol, marching their men into harm’s way to a glorious melody in the pursuit of freedom. Pipers were even stationed at the Battle of Waterloo as part of the 79th (Cameron Highlanders) Regiment of Foot, and their music reinforced the resolve of the regiments.

While some may think of bagpipes as an instrument of torture due to their loud and sometimes grating blares, they certainly intimidate enemy forces and were carried and played by ancient Scottish clans of old to do just that. In Conqueror’s Blade, the Bagpipers will carry on this rich history of political symbolism, intimidation, and uplifting performance.

Perhaps now thought of as reserved for royal ceremonies, funerals, and Hogmanay, the bagpipes remain a staple of Scottish culture, and their tradition is kept alive to this day.



The first unit of their kind in Conqueror’s Blade and our foray into bard-type mechanics, the Bagpipers provide stirring martial music as they march into battle alongside the Highlander armies, bolstering morale and the fighting spirit of the men.

While they may not be equipped with conventional weapons such as broadswords or spears, the Bagpipers have their own unique way of carrying their troops to victory—buffing their allies’ attacks with inspiring melodies. The music of these defiant men makes such a difference to the Highland units in battle that the Loegrians have forbidden the playing of their tunes wherever they can, deeming the sound of bagpipes to be an incitement to insurrection.

Cry freedom in Conqueror’s Blade when Season X: Highlanders launches on December 21!

• Added: Option to switch between fullscreen and windowed mode
  
• Added: Auto-selection of nereast target when fireing from pistol with controller without manually selected target
  
• Added: Few tutorial hints
  
• Tweaked: Tutorial hints when playing with controller
  
• Fixed: Issue with progression of some achievements

How's it going, commanders!

I'm taking a little deviation from the regular update schedule to keep you in the loop on what's going on with the game and its Early Access status and what the foreseeable future will hold for the game and for Laukaus Games as a whole.

Before going in to anything else, I want to thank each and every one of you, who have bought and played the game or added it to your wishlist for future purchase. Specifically, I want to thank all of you, who have provided feedback and reported issues you've found within the game. I also want to specifically thank those of you, who have recommended the game to someone you know and might be interested or made videos or other content off of it. We and the game wouldn't be here if it weren't for each and every one of yours support! It really means the world to me.

As some of you may remember, I made my first devlog video of Para Bellum - Hold the Line at the end of August titled "Good and Bad News". I'm gonna share the video here, if you're up to for a little trip down the memory lane and want to see what the game looked like in its very early state back then. Back then I had just lost my job and started working on Para Bellum - Hold the Line full time.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hb3l8GZVowA

Why I'm sharing this now, is because it's kind of relevant to my current situation. As it turns out, I have now managed to find myself a new full time job and I will be starting at the beginning of the new year 2022. What this unfortunately means, is that I won't be able to work on this game full time anymore and game development in general, will take a back seat for the time being. Once I have figured out my schedule and new rhythm of life at the new job, I'm hopeful that I will be able to squeeze in some time for my own projects, but it might take a while and nevertheless, the development velocity is going to go down in the near future.

That being the situation, I feel like the priority right now, is to get the game out of Early Access. I don't want to rush things obviously, but I'm gonna start taking action towards the full launch of the game soon. I still have a couple of ideas that I want to try out and might add to the game and one scheduled update coming soon - the one with the new Paratrooper Units. I won't be disclosing more information about potential updates at this time since it's so early that I don't want to make promises that I might or might not keep.

In addition to getting the game to it's 1.0 release state, I need to work on a launch trailer and press releases for the media and influencers in the hopes that someone will be covering my game when it's launching. That is going to take some time and that means that actual game development time will be reduced.

After Early Access is over and the game is fully released, active development of the game will be on hold at least for a while. I'll try my best to fix any issues should any arise, but that's all I can promise. I hope to continue developing the game some day in the future provided that I have the time, resources and incentive to do so, but all of that is something that only time will tell.

Eventually, I would like to extent the Para Bellum universe to some new games. I have big dreams and ideas that I would like to chase in the future and I would definitely like to see something great in the future of Laukaus Games. The journey so far has been full of great learning and awesome experiences and I feel like I still have so much to give for all of you.

All of that is going to take some time though, which I unfortunately won't be allowed very much in the near future. Me and Laukaus Games will be here though.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. It feels a bit hard for me to disclose all of this, but I want to be fully transparent on what's going on and what you should expect from the future.

Take care, commanders, my friends!

Hello everyone, this is the Ironsight Team.

Codename 7 will be active starting on the 16th of December.
