Steam Next Fest kicks off now and we’re excited to introduce the multiplayer demo of UNITED 1944, which opens… NOW!

After a very successful beta playtest that kicked off in late September, we’re once again opening the doors of UNITED 1944 for an even longer time! Steam Next Fest kicks off today, and with it, we call everyone to the fight starting now and ending on Monday October 16 at 10 am PDT.



Features for the Steam Next Fest demo include two maps: France, where the push inward of the Allies was at its peak after D-Day, and North Africa, where battles for control of large regions had an important effect in changing the tide of war.

Also, the classic 16v16 team-based conquest ‘Domination’ mode and brand new dog-eat-dog extraction mode ‘Survivors’, which debuted in late September Closed Beta. Check out this Survivors Overview video gameplay to know more about this new game mode:


Servers will be once again located in Europe, North America, and Asia to ensure that all players in these regions get a smooth experience in the battle trenches. This time, you won’t need to request access if you’re new to UNITED 1944, as you can simply download the demo from the game’s Steam page and go straight into battle after a short bootcamp session to teach you the basics.

Twitch drops make a return this time, and everyone watching creators streaming the game during Steam Next Fest will be able to get an exclusive weapon charm and a character outfit.


Remember to join our official Discord server for dev updates, feedback and technical support during Steam Next Fest and future Betas.



We hope you have a good time playing UNITED 1944! Thank you for your support!

This is a huge balance and rework of the economy, hoping to make it feel a lot more rewarding to earn gold and trying to curb scaling so it feels valuable for a longer part of the game. Feedback on balance, economy, progression, etc is very welcome. I may have brought it down too much, but felt it is easier to adjust upwards, than trying to slow down one that is out of control. Please bear with me through these early stages of this change.

NOTE: Some crops have been changed to what seasons they are available so in old saves, if your crops are suddenly dead, I apologize :(


Gameplay

• Completely reworked the economy to a slower one,
  
• New craftable potion “Splendid Everberry Juice”, 20% chance to catch rainbow pixie.
  
• Pixies can now be set on Everberry and Yummyberry bushes to harvest 2 per day.
  
• Everberry crafting cost increased to from 20 > 30 everberries
  
• Pixies base harvest amount from shroom patches reduced to 1 per day (too much scaling with bonuses)
  
• Skilled cards no longer give DOUBLE, but instead 1 extra. If percentage of this card goes above 100%, the extra percentage gets rolled for another extra and so on. If more than 1 item type is dropped from that item(i.e ores/rocks), the skill will choose 1 randomly from the drop.
  
• Skilled farmer nerfs - Skilled farmer now only works on farm, Skilled farmer no longer works on pot plants, bushes or shrooms.
  
• Tool upgrade costs reduced, various other costs reduced.
  
• Skilled merchant bonus reduced further to 5% increments (down from 7%)
  
• Added an optional short story to hear from Atlas when starting the Old Favor quest.
  
• Toned down drop generation back a little (still better than before but amped it up the in last update)
  
• Equipment sell value now calculated off smelting value
  
• Lotus Pods are now throwable in water so you can farm lotus flowers. They will stay submerged for 5 days before turning into a Lotus Pad.
  
• First few rows of floors in only the first pillar have a max of 4 enemies per room.
  
• Reduced damage for 3rd and 4th pillar enemies a little further

Bugs Fixed

• Rude grass fixed
  
• Water drone stopping when you leave an area is fixed
  
• Ball of sun now working with machines that have solar panels
  
• Hitting pixie tapper off tree using an axe no longer disappears the pixie
  
• Cherry blossom tree no longer has only 1 HP
  
• Some insects/critters not showing skin correctly (flutterfly issue)
  
• Fixed items not being able to be placed on shelves (regression)
  
• Weather panel can now be placed on walls (regression)
  
• Remap controller buttons was missing from settings
  
• Improved memory usage and performance during inventory loading/saving
  
• Fixed some insects spawning in wrong seasons
  
• Various spelling issues

Known Issues:

• Control input issues steam deck
  
• Water drone still having issues in greenhouse
  
• Reported instances of farm animals disappearing and only reappearing on restart
  
• Animal random disappearance until restart
  
• Bed sheets aren’t showing up for sale

Hello,

I'm excited to announce our latest update, which brings a host of improvements to the game. Here's a rundown of what's new:

Enhanced Translations: We've added new translations for various in-game elements, including upgrades, towers, and more. While some may still have minor errors, we're actively working on fixing them in upcoming updates. If you'd like to contribute and help us improve the translations, please consider joining our Discord community. https://discord.gg/2pwFk6HRCh

Translation Quality Assurance: The Russian translation has been meticulously checked by "YouG1N," ensuring accuracy. Our dedicated community members are currently reviewing the Portuguese, German, and Italian translations, and we'll incorporate them into the game once they are complete.

Orb Stones Boost: We've increased the effectiveness of the new orb stones, giving them a 20% boost to make your gameplay even more exciting.

Balancing Act: To maintain game balance, we've significantly reduced flame damage, ensuring a fair and enjoyable gaming experience.

Improved User Experience: You'll now see the level name and a brief description of the challenge when selecting a game mode, making it easier to choose the right level for your skill and strategy.

Crystal Tower Fix: Crystal type towers were occasionally missing small, speedy, or armored enemies. We've resolved this issue to make your tower defense more effective.

Narrative Adjustments: We've removed Warf's sad story from the game. We believe that the current climate is challenging enough, and we don't want to bring down the morale of our players.

Early Access Update: We've removed the opening message about early access. Even though we're still in early access, the final game will be released in just two weeks. Rest assured, our support and regular updates will continue beyond the official launch.

Keep digging!!

Belonging is reaching the end of its development cycle and we want to give our community the opportunity to test the game with us in advance.
