Update 0.2.1al is live for Rogue Trader Beta!

Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader - Starrok

Update 0.2.1al is live for Rogue Trader Beta!

Changelog (Beware of possible spoilers below!):

Adept's "Reactive Study" was stacking buffs permanently and infinitely - fixed, the game should no longer take long pauses after each action in ground combat. If you saved during combat, you need to finish it for the fix to become active.
An event with Abelard and Avrilla Vent could get stuck, blocking further progress - fixed. If you still experience this problem on an older save, go to the captain's quarters and return to the bridge.

Your Guide to the Realms of Ruin Open Beta

Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin - Frontier Developments

Raise blade and banner, warrior.

We invite you to the Realm of Ghur to lead the Stormcast Eternals and Orruk Kruleboyz in the upcoming Open Beta.

The Open Beta is available to everyone on July 7-10th.

Register your interest below so you don’t miss your chance to try Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin before anyone else!

Your Objective.

This Open Beta test is an integral part of the development process, allowing us to gather crucial feedback from players as well as testing our network infrastructure.

The main objectives of this Open Beta are two-fold:

Test the game’s stability and network performance.
Test the game's multiplayer and review player feedback on the balance of the Stormcast Eternals and Orruk Kruleboyz factions, as the overall economy and gameplay balance.

Network Test.

By having a large number of players join the game at once, we can stress test our servers and identify any potential bottlenecks or issues that may arise. This will provide valuable data to help ensure that the game is a smooth and stable experience for all players at launch.

Balance Pass.

During the first Open Beta, you will engage in 1v1 multiplayer battles. We will be monitoring player feedback and gameplay data to identify any imbalances or issues with the currently available playable factions: the Stormcast Eternals and the Orruk Kruleboyz.

It’s important to note that the version of the game you will be playing is still very much in development and therefore we expect you will encounter bugs and network issues. We want to make Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin the smoothest experience at launch.
So, when accessing the Open Beta on July 7-10th, keep playing, provide feedback, and most importantly, have fun!

Open Beta Dates.

Open Beta #1 begins July 7th at 11:00am BST (3:00am PT) and ends July 10th at 11:59pm BST (3:59pm PT).
Open Beta #2 – more details coming this Summer!

Accessing The Open Beta.

The Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin Open Beta will be available for download on July 7th. Please see below on how to access it on your preferred platform:

Launch Steam and navigate to the Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin store page and follow the link there to download.

Share Your Triumphs Over The Realm Of Ghur!

Your feedback is important to us! Please share your thoughts and experiences over at the Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin official Discord server or via the Issue Tracker website.

From July 7th, there will be dedicated rooms for sharing feedback on the game during the Open Beta.

See you there!

Hey everyone!
Thank you so much for playing the game! Since we are in early access, we would love to hear your thoughts about the game. If you have any feedback, suggestions, questions, or just want to chat with us, join our Discord.

All cardboard boxes are now props and can be destroyed
Camera shake of all weapons improved

HUD will get more glitched out the lower your HP gets
Added in-game text tutorial at the start of the game
Texts in levels will now show their translation when hovered

Balancing:

Decreased accuracy of all enemies
Drones now start shooting after they spot the player (not right away after spawning)
Shotgun damage increased
Made easy difficulty easier and hard difficulty harder
Increased headshot damage multiplier

Bugfixes:

For some people flicking flashlight on and off frequently crashes the game

And now, community highlights:
(kvak is quack in Czech :D)

sent to us by XtramCZ on Discord, thanks!

And what are we planning for the next update?
As we now have a little time between chapter we want to upgrade to Unreal engine 5.1 for better physics engine and we would also like to move game repository from git to subversion for better teamwork. This won't take long but it will help us to work more efficiently. And then we will of course start to work on the second chapter!

Techtonica has an Early Access release date, controller support, and MORE

Techtonica - JoeyFHG

We just had a huge weekend for Techtonica news.

If you count yourself among the newly recruited Groundbreakers, welcome! If you’ve been here for weeks and months now, welcome back!

Every week, we put together a blog post, newsletter, and update video featuring Techtonica details big and small. Whether it’s reworked Conveyor Belts, new tools, or major announcements, we’ll share something new weekly.

This week, we’re recapping all the info that came out over the weekend. Let’s dig in.

First, Techtonica will enter Early Access on July 18th, 2023. In case you missed it, here’s the new trailer that revealed the date.

We also announced that Techtonica will be available day one with Xbox Game Pass.

You might have figured this out already, but we’ll make it official. Since Techtonica is coming to Xbox consoles, Techtonica features gamepad support.

Since day one, we’ve been quietly designing Techtonica to work natively on gamepads. In fact, in the very early days, we made it so the game was only playable with a gamepad in order to force ourselves to really consider intuitive controls. Richard, our Game Director, talked about this on our Discord.

Techtonica originally only worked on controller 😂 We knew making an automation game work on controller was going to be hard so we forced the controls to be only controller at first to make sure we did the controls well

We’re really happy with how it feels, and some team members prefer the gamepad over keyboard and mouse.

We can’t wait for you to join the ANEXCAL mission on July 18th, 2023, as Techtonica launches into Early Access.

If you want to meet the rest of the community and speak directly with the developers, join our Discord.

See you soon!
