This patch brings a lot of fixes following bugs reported by players, whom we’d like to thank.

If you’re from the streets, you know there’s a difference between REPUTATION and STREET CRED. There aren’t many who have both. Sometimes having one excludes enjoying the other. In the words of our godfather Rafal:



Street Cred in the game is corelated to how Town Reputation works. The same way as your town reputation affects your relations with the town, traders, unlocks certain gameplay elements or content and changes the way how some enemies (like the police) react to you, the same goes for street cred.

The main difference is that it is your general criminal reputation all over Isla Sombra. It unlocks access to some criminal shops and characters, gives additional gameplay options and changes the behavior of thugs and thug bosses towards you and the other member of your cartel.

Keep in mind tho, when word spreads, it is not only heard by those that you'd like to.

Why exactly do you need Streed Cred?

Mainly because high cred means safety. You’ll be known, trusted, and perhaps even feared, which increases your security and gives you access to stuff reserved for the big fishes.

Shady traders have a lot of stuff that could make your life easier, including melee weapons (yes, more on that later), bombs (yes, more on that later), and chemicals you’d otherwise have to steal or buy at high prices.



How do you get Street Cred?

When you do illegal things, word spreads around. Getting in fights, assassinations, bombings, robberies, doing jobs for people from the industry–all of it earns you street cred. It’s especially important in the Militia work camp that plays a big role in your business–but you guessed it, more on that later!



There’s two things you need to remember tho.

One: gaining Street Cred may harm your Reputation among the everyday folk. Everything comes at a price.

Two: being known gets you a lot of attention. Also of the unwanted variety.

The conclusion is: think strategically. It’s what it’s all about.

Greetings one and all!

Below is a short summary of pricing and versions for Skald once it launches on May 30th. Note that changes may occur before launch.

Also, see the end of the devlog for some info about the incredible people who made our live-action trailer for us!


“Skald: Against the Black Priory” will launch on Steam on 30th May 2024 and will be available for PC and Mac upon launch.

The Standard version of the game will be priced around 15 USD and the Deluxe version will be priced at around 25 USD.




We intend to offer a Deluxe edition of the game that will provide you with a bundle of extra content giving you the option of having a slightly different game experience mechanically speaking. It also comes with the OST and a good handful of cosmetic items.

The Deluxe edition will contain the following items (amongst others):

• The Base Game
  
• A pack of extra character portraits
  
• Unique Dice animations
  
• 3 extra character backgrounds to choose from during character creation.
  
• Malachai, the Magical items merchant: A vendor that is available from the mid game and onward that sells a handful of unique magical items.
  
• Two wallpapers from the game
  
• The OST with 38 (!) tracks

We’re constantly looking into more cool stuff to add into the Deluxe edition whilst still making sure it does not detract from the main game. The idea is that it should be a value-packed way of supporting the developer (which buying the deluxe edition greatly does).




The game is being presented at a WASD Live 2024 in London 25th-27th of April along with a collection of other awesome Raw Fury titles! If you’re in the area and you feel like checking out Skald and its awesome siblings, be sure to visit WASD.




Our “Release-Date Announcement Trailer” has been getting amazing feedback from the community and beyond. I’m just so grateful for getting to play a part in making such a cool little piece of retro-inspired media.



The credit for the main action scenes of the trailer however, goes to Swedish media production company NAIVE. What you see here is the result of their incredible craftsmanship and attention to detail.

You’ve blown me away with your amazing work and I can’t thank you enough! Now go give these amazing people all the likes and follows!

Greetings everyone,

We're thrilled to unveil a significant update for Defend from Candyland! Introducing our newest guardian of Eden, Iasmin the Language Tree!



Recognizing the need for broader protection against the onslaught of sour candies, Iasmin has generously contributed a Brazilian-Portuguese translation of Defend from Candyland! This addition not only enriches the game but also extends its reach to new players.







Let's extend a warm welcome to all the new players we are now opening the game to with this translation. And, of course, a tremendous thank you to Iasmin Egidio for her invaluable contribution!

Hi everyone and happy Monday!

Just a quick heads up that yesterday's (sunday) wipe fixed a lot of issues servers were experiencing. It took a bit too long to reboot non-EU servers, and it's all done.

So we will update the names of the servers to reflect a wipe schedule that's accurate.

DO NOT expect a wipe today and enjoy the game while we work on more feature, performance optimization, and bug fixes!
