With a heavy heart, I'm shutting down servers for The Wall. Server costs are too great, and until I have a real game plan I need to keep the game's head and my own head down. Ever since 2018, I've been working solo on this project. It's been an incredible journey of self-growth and knowledge, but to truly bring the community a multiplayer-service type game, I'd need a team to keep up with demand and to output content. In the coming months I'll work on assembling a crew of like-minded individuals to bring you guys a full release of The Wall. Thank you!

I've had a few people ask "ok, the game is fun, but what do I get for playing?" At first I was shocked by this question, thinking "well the point of playing the game is to play the game." However, after many people suggested adding leaderboards, career profiles, etc., I realized that just seeing the "victory" screen really doesn't mean much. Being able to see how you've done over time, look at match data, see how you stack on global leaderboards, and unlock new skins as you play would add so much more meaning to finishing matches. Version 1.6.0 contains the all new Player Profile, Match Analytics, and Item Progression systems. Here's a summary of each system:

The Infrastructure Update

With version 1.2.8, the flamethrower and Scar are being introduced into the game! The flamethrower is great for destroying pesky wooden structures and the Scar is a new assault rifle with low recoil and high accuracy. Flamethrower During longer matches, teams on the offensive tend to be held back by enemies refortifying their bases with wooden structures. The flamethrower has been developed to help remedy these stalemates, as concentrated flames eat through wooden structures and leave behind fires that continue to damage newly placed structures. Scar The game has seen the same ten weapons in play for a while now, and the Scar is a nice addition to a player's arsenal in the late-game stages. Though it does cost quite a bit of resources, the gun is very easy to control and does large amounts of damage. Other Quite a few network-related optimizations have been released with this update so expect games with larger player counts to run smoother! The new weapons are brand new, so things ARE subject to change, and higher quality animations, textures, sounds, etc. are still being developed.

Alpha 1.2.3 Released This patch contains the following changes: -Players can now destroy all of their placed structures. This drastically changes games, as players can now move their generators around to take advantage of HV crystals. -A new weapon skin, "Lattice" -Patched exploits and cheesing strategies in "Mall" and optimized assets in it -Fixed "Mall" co-op Other bug fixes and optimizations

Alpha 1.2.0 has been released! This update contains the new "Mall" map for versus and co-op mode, the introduction of "Mega-Structures," and player cosmetics. Mall Map The new mall map is quite unique compared to the other, more outdoorsy maps, as it has prebuilt structures that define how matches play out. Ballista The construction update contains a Mega-Structure called the Ballista. A team member first places down a construction zone that can then be upgraded into the Ballista by team members. This system allows players to pool resources into this late-game item. Player Cosmetics To celebrate this update, player cosmetics have been launched with the construction theme as well. Balancing This update includes some balancing, especially with the introduction of HV (high value) giant crystals. These purple crystals appear in the center of maps to give teams on the offensive a larger advantage in the late-game to help combat match stagnation. Other Along with all of the above content, major bugs have been fixed and a lot of optimizing work has been done. Games will no longer crash in the late game and things will be running a lot smoother.

Co-op mode has released with The Wall Alpha 1.1.0 This game mode doubles the content of the game and provides players a way to play by themselves or with a couple of friends. 5 co-op maps are included in this update along with some other things: New compass for team callouts New lag compensation - shots should land more Variety of bug fixes, optimizations, and QoL improvements

This is the first official update for The Wall! After a successful release, The Wall is now seeing some new content along with various bug fixes and heavy optimizations. The Wall has only been out for three days but its community is thriving, with many enthusiastic players suggesting ideas and helping shape the future of the game. If you have not picked up a copy of the game yet, The Wall is still on sale for several more days! See what's included in this update!

The Wall has finally been launched into the real world! Thank you to everyone who participated during beta testing! I had a lot of fun during that time seeing the game grow, and I can't wait to start adding more content! During this week, the game will be 25% off, so make sure to pick up a copy!
