First of all, thank you for all your support and help. As you may have guessed, the game A FURRY HOUSE came to an abrupt halt in the preceding months because the development team to which it had been entrusted is no longer working with us. Because it is one of your favorite games, we did everything we could not to abandon it. At the moment, therefore, the game has been entrusted to a new development team, which has added a considerable new part to the game. As usual, any feedback and help from you will be instrumental in resuming the development of the game on a continued basis until its completion. You will also be part of the new development team!!! :)

So for some of you there is a long history of getting the release date pushed further out. Let me just start by saying, I also don't like this.

For me the core gameplay was ready a long time ago, but feedback from players and bad experiences from playtesters show that the game needs more work. And next fest has again shown that the game needs more work. Players don't play long enough to enjoy the game, they struggle to get through the tutorial. While I don't expect this game to be for everyone, the people who want to like it, should be able to play the game.
So I will simplify and shorten the first tutorial by disabling scaling and rotating in the first missions. This should allow players to use the 'best' movement system for the initial impressions.
There is also still a request for more transparent information, how much damage will a certain stack do? how much power is there in a stack? which towers are part of this stack?
Since I know all these things it is possible for me to enjoy the gameplay in its current state, but without this knowledge it is the player that needs to buildup this knowledge through losing a lot of games.... which is not a great way to learn. So I need to give more information to the player during the game.

I still believe that this game is unique in VR, and once a player knows how to play it could give enjoyment and satisfaction. As long as the players don't play/enjoy the demo it makes no sense to expect the game to do well during release.
So to those who have liked the demo in all stages of development, sorry the release is pushed back again. For those who are disappointed in the current state of the game, there are still things I can do to make it better.

Hey folks!

Back in June we put out our first "What's Next?" video, where you heard some of the WARHAMMER III development team to reveal the first details about our next DLC. You guys seemed to like it, so we went and did another one, and invited Mitch along to talk about our interim patches too. You also seemed to like this, so the question is; are you in the mood to hear even more about the next DLC and update 6.0?

No? Oh okay, fair enough, guess we'll sign off now then...

But wait... if you DID happen to be interested, then you'll be happy to know we have another video for you! This time we are joined once more by a familiar face, Senior Game Director Rich Aldridge, for an update on development, along with Designer Josh King and Project Audio Director Chris Goldsmith, to dive a little deeper into their respective disciplines and what they've been working on for this upcoming DLC and update 6.0. (We're even in a snazzy new studio!)

Come for the DLC news, stay for the gross sound effects and shouty voices...



We have a lot more goodness coming your way towards the end of the month, including the first official DLC trailer, some tasty blog content, and a deeper look at the new Legendary Lords in their respective gameplay showcases. We'll also have some giveaways kicking off over on Discord where you'll have multiple chances of winning codes for the DLC on launch!

If you want to keep up to date with all of this, then be sure to join the official Total War Discord server and follow our social channels linked at the bottom of this blog.

Until next time, we'll see you on the battlefield!

This spooky adventure follows the mischevious Tom on her deliveries which surprisingly always go wrong. No wonder, she is a real stalker and peeks inside whenever she gets the occasion to. Go along with her and see what the locals may have to hide.
