What combination of swords, firearms and magic have you been fighting with?

A little love for our fellow turn-based developers! 🩵

It's been an exciting week for the genre, with FROSTHAVEN launching into 1.0 alongside a whole lineup of new releases and demos.

Huge thanks to @TurnBasedLovers for highlighting these adventures!

Read the roundup:

Security Balance Patch v0.1.3
Thanks for all the feedback on public lobbies. This update keeps working on the Security Guard so every player gets to play the round before the shotgun decides it. All players need v0.1.3 to play together: restart Steam if it hasn't downloaded yet.

These are all optional settings that the party host can toggle
New: confirm the Cheater at the computer
• With the Guard Shooting Cooldown on, the Guard can now pick and confirm the Cheater at the security computer, just like the Jester and the Robber.
• One attempt per round. A correct confirmation lets the Guard shoot that Cheater right away, before the shotgun unlocks for everyone else.
• A wrong confirmation uses up the attempt for that round. It does not cost a shot, but it gives no early shooting either.
• Confirming is not a win on its own: the Guard still has to take the shot.
Guard Shooting Cooldown
• The shotgun unlocks 5 seconds after the Cheater reaches 70% of the money goal, and stays unlocked for the rest of the round.
• Confirmed targets (Cheater, Jester or Robber) can be shot before that 70% is reached.
Security Guesses
• On the automatic setting, lobbies of 5 or more players now give the Guard 2 guesses.
• The number is set when the match starts and stays the same for the whole match, even if someone leaves.
Fixes
• Fixed movement on AZERTY, Dvorak and other non-QWERTY keyboards.
• Leaving a lobby and quickly joining again no longer gets stuck on CONNECTING.
The game is best with friends: create a Private Room and share the code. Keep the reports coming on Discord and through the in-game bug reporter. We apologize if you did not like the game, we will keep working hard to improve it.

We’re working hard to bring our English localization from beta to a more polished and reliable state, with improvements expected in about a week.

• New weapon: gravity bomb (crate reward, rollable when you have less than 500m hay remaining). This pulls floating hay to the ground. As a result, it will be much less tedious to clear all the hay as the game progresses
• "Power Move" can now be purchased up to 15 times
• Re-balanced money and upgrades based on player feedback.

NEW

Map Layout is now split into Tower Defense and Survivors.
New "Skip Shop" toggle in the shop from wave 20 onward.

Animated map decorations.
BALANCE
Endless is harder: enemies spawn faster and get stronger each wave, more so on higher difficulties.

Arrow Rain now targets the biggest group of enemies.
Landmine now throws ahead of incoming enemies.
Hatchet Hurl evolution: ice axes now spiral out around you.

NOTE
The new skills and character have no achievements yet. Steam limits each game to 100 achievements and we have reached that limit. We will add them if Steam raises the limit.
