Added a new option: Disable Controller Vibrations in Accessibility settings.

• Fixed an issue where standing under certain platforms and taking their aggro damage could teleport players beyond a boss fight.

• Fixed an issue where the Show Enemy HP setting wasn’t being preserved between scene transitions.

A lot of small bug fixes have been rolled out this past, this patch represents all of them.

Adjusted collision behavior to remove the small player bias.

"Random Block" training option now works as intended.

Changed Lumber Combo Trial 5 to make it possible after the October Update.

Mike's Lipstick Toss input is read properly on P2 side.

Sho's idle stamina regen has been fixed, making his trait function as intended.

Sho's Raging Demon now has a screen freeze effect and does 5000 damage instead of 6000.

Sho's Raging Demon puts him in Enraged state for the rest of the game. Removes his trait and his ability to Raging Demon.

"Block After" training option will now properly block one frame gaps.

Sho's Focus Step > K followup hitbox has been lowered and brought back a small amount.

A few moves in Trial mode had their Input Names adjusted to be the correct input.

Spending the last of your stamina while getting up will no longer trigger the round end count down.

Thanks to "chef" for finding most of these! Also thanks to the Discord for their suggestions!

I think that's it. Enjoy!

Hello everyone!

Hope you're all well.
Time for another update!

This one is themed around winter. A season that definitely needed some extra love and activities!

Here's a list of all the new content:


Locations now have elevation. This will have some effects to speed and stamina usage during travel. I.e.: Going uphill is harder than going downhill and has some fun interaction with some of the other new features we've added. :)


A new tool for fast downhill travel and entertainment, provided there's enough snow.


A new winter-only contraption for carrying heavy loads like the travois. It moves faster across snow, especially when going downhill and can also be used for entertainment.


A tool for entertainment and for moving across frozen river areas faster and more efficiently.


Alcoholic drinks can now be made stronger through cold distillation. Simply leave an ale or wine barrel outside during low temperatures and wait for it to freeze. Then simply remove the ice and you'll be left with stronger beverages. :)


First we're retiring the old smokehouses. Players who have them will keep them but no one will be able to build them anymore.
Food can now be smoke dried with a new more systemic mechanic. Basically there is a new simple device called a drying rack, which reduces spoilage, doubles as a decoration when herbs are hanging from it and starts drying its contents if there's enough smoke in the area.

Lighting a campfire in indoor locations will now fill up the area with smoke. Smoke reduces wellbeing and takes a bit of time to clear but will dry any items hanging from a drying rack in that room. This should let you build your own smoking rooms/houses if you want, or just temporarily convert your own living room into one when there's the need.
Fireplaces or Ovens will not fill rooms with smoke for now.


There's a new type of stove that once heated can be doused with water to release steam.
Steam increases body temperature, gratification and immune system, while reducing filth and stress. Beware of overdoing it, as there's always the risk of having a heatstroke if you're body temperature gets too high.


A new cellar that can be filled with ice or snow to help preserve the food stored in the area. If filled with enough ice it can keep working all the way to summer!
Ice can now be obtained from rivers, provided temperatures are cold enough.


A new spirit that is only available during winter and can be summoned from player-built frost shrines. The spirit can help players be comfortable at lower temperatures and help preserve food among other minor things.


A new hideout structure that is more insulating and can be build from snow.
Ideal for winter hunts.


A new instrument which uses the percussion skill. Basic rythms help with focus and gratification while some more advanced ones can help put the player into a trance.


Stats can now be manually hidden if you think they're not important and are just producing clutter. We've added a button to show any hidden stats too.

Small update to patch a few things while I work on the new update. Also thanks for all the support as of late! It is encouraging - I will push myself further (I am also playing EU5 right now, so expect delays).

• Reduced the damage and initial projectile speed of Calcifused Knight "Eyecurse Shot" projectiles.

• Fixed a bug where the fort's hardsprite would sometimes bug out and look strange.

• Partially fixed a bug where, if the fort dies on the same frame you win a wave, the game will alert you to reload instead of losing on the next wave.

• Added some internal testing tools.

• You can access half of the remixed waves, if you are able to modify your game files.

1 day 1 patch! The Anniversary Update was released yesterday and met with a lot of kind words and valid feedback - thank you!

I've been rebalancing the game (trying to avoid resorting to dumbing down the AI) to match the added difficulty, this patch continues that.

First - I want WWAATD to be a challenging game, it's part of the DNA of the game - but it has to be hard in a fun way, and not feel 'just unfair', of course. The previous version had the AI very passive and static, so this is definitely an improvement, we just have to finetune it.

There's 3 pretty fundamentally different difficulty modes and a very detailed Sandbox Mode for you to tailor your experience as well. Everyone has different skill levels, time-in-the-game, preferences and so on, so I figure more options helps as we refine the "base game".

Balancing a physics based animation driven combat game with a complex damage model is a bit like defusing a bomb, and with a total AI rework, it's like we threw a live grenade into the mix. In many ways we are balancing from scratch so needing a patch (or a few) makes sense - bear with us and keep giving feedback as we finetune!

So tl;dr today I injected some coffee into my veins and got to work to bring you a first patch. Let me know your thoughts on how these changes feel so we can keep making the game better. Best place to do so is in the game's Discord, link at the bottom of thist post (and every post!)

• Rebalanced damage model for more consistent damage

  • Less penalty for bad hit contact point, short hold-time, stamina state and "fumbles" (hitting with back of the weapon etc), damage should overall be closer to stats on each hit

  • Exact Impact point now counts a bit less vs overall weapon velocity for damage calculation (from 50% to 30%) - this should especially help shorter weapons

  • Note: the AI has the same changes, as they have the exact same damage model as the player

• Increased backwards speed for player a tad

• AI movement skill/speed reduced across the board

• Light weight status now also gives +10 Stamina skill (along side Dashing and Movement previously)

  • This should make early game less of a Stamina pain, while also making sure Stamina management is still a part of the game if you equip heavier gear

• AI spends a lower extent of time in "retreat" mode recovering Stamina

• Reduced the character physics body layer intensity (Should reduce some floppiness, jank, buggy movement, ...)

• Weapon weight has a bit less impact on Stamina Cost of attacks - should primarily make heavier weapons (polearms etc) less of a brutal Stamina drain

• Increased stamina recovery from receiving damage to 1.5x the damage (from 1x)

• Increased player base attack speed slightly

• Increased camera zoom-out max

• Equipment Weight affects AI the same as Player now (was off by a tiny bit)

• Rebalanced weight impact so the Stam Regen numbers and color coding UI make more sense

• Counters by the AI (when you hit them, usually when they're tired) will now more often be regular attacks vs double attack or dash attacks, to reduce them getting stuck in low stamina as you hit them & reduce glitchy movement

• Clamped the maximum knockback on characters to reduce crazy knockbacks

• (Probably) Fixed a bug causing Multicultural to stack up Patron Favor penalties across multiple characters (this will require a new character to take effect)

If you like what we're doing, please consider sharing this update and the game with your friends: we still rely on word of mouth more than anything.
