Merry Christmas and happy new year !

In this season of festivities, we’ve been working on integrating something really important for us : Kickstarter Backer Rewards !

Since the completion of our Kickstarter campaign, we’ve been regularly trying to get in touch with all of our Ambassador backers to integrate their Text, Image, Billboards, Town names and Vehicles in OUTBRK. If you backed an Ambassador reward or higher (you can check your pledge on kickstarter.com directly) and haven’t heard from us yet, please check your spam folder. If you still can’t find an email from us asking for your assets, contact us at contact@outbrkgame.com and we’ll sort this out.

That being said, here is a little preview of some kickstarter reward stickers integrated in OUTBRK :









One other massive recent news is that the entire OUTBRK world is now in “2nd pass” state, meaning that everywhere in the world has received at least some amount of details; cities are built, industrial complexes are constructed, farmlands are plowed… There are now plenty of things to look at, anywhere you might be in our 625km² world. To give an idea of how big this task was, it was started in February of 2021 and it was David’s main priority since then.











Our next focus is the car garage. Buying new cars and modifying them with different colors, decals and attachments will be a big part of OUTBRK, so at the moment we’re laying down the foundation of this entire system, how the player will navigate in the different menus, and how it will be synchronized on the network.

Until then, stay safe and happy holidays.

-The OUTBRK Team

Following the major update on the full game, the demo has been update accordingly. We've also decided to remove the online feature from the demo version altogether.

The new update is not quite ready, so here is a little preview of all the new things that are new.

The main island got a full rework of all the assets. The assets were also designed in a way that will allow easier integration with some base building. But this feature is not planned for the 1.0 release and will come later.


The potions were reworked and provide now proper effects. Currently there are 6 potions that give different buffs.


The hero creation was also somewhat reworked. Options that did not really make sense, as you would never see them in the game, were removed. Ideally the icons would have a little preview icon instead of a number, but that is planned for later.


You can now also change the look of existing heroes.

As always, thank you dear players for your feedback!
-We've added the ability to freely rotate and zoom in / out the camera with the mouse, making finding those mouseys and items even easier and immerse yourself in the beautfiul retro art!
-We've fixed an issue with the title screen that could cause a indefinate loading loop
-We've fixed an issue that would cause a profiling error message to appear with node.js
-We've upgraded node.js for faster rendering
-We've improved loading performance for maps

Adjusted open world map names

Notes in task list. Fmod changes.

Hey Everyone,

Hope your holidays are going well and your staying festive and safe. We have another large update today that redesigns the world map diplomacy, greatly improving the way AI uses world map diplomacy as well as includes a layer of polishing and balancing for most diplomatic features, especially for middle to late game, once player becomes King and diplomacy really comes in to play. This update also includes some fixes for battles, cinematics and other aspects of the game, as well as improve the flow of the siege battles that now will be a bit faster.

We will continue with another large update in January. Meanwhile wishing everyone the best New Year celebration ahead.

With that said, lets take a look at what this 27th update includes

• Various other improvements and balancing to the world map diplomacy system
  
• Fixed issue with becoming King being extremely difficult in some Kingdoms, due to other lords having unresonable renown value
  
• Signing alliance treaties effects player standing with other nation and his lords a lot less negatively
  
• Razing towns will impact relations with all other nations less negative, but still has an effect
  
• Greatly reduced penalty in diplomacy when becoming King
  
• Rebalanced the cost of running a Kingdom when King, hiring lords e.t.c all adjusted

Hi Woodlanders!

I have a small update that allows you to control the speed of the seasons as well as the speed of the day/night cycle.

• Increasing the season speed will also increase the maturity rate of plants in your forest.
  
• Increasing the day/night cycle will provide better sunlight to undergrowth plants
