Hi everyone! The Wargroove Discord members among you may have seen that last week Chucklefish CEO Tiy divulged some information on what the development team are currently working on, and details on what you can expect in upcoming minor and major patches across all versions. Today we wanted to go into a little more detail! An official caveat though, the below isnt a finalised list of content, nor can we 100% confirm that all of these features will make it into the upcoming updates, as some are still in development / testing stages, so keep that in mind! Updates also still need to go through various approval processes, so we cant estimate exact release dates just yet.

So whats next for Wargroove?

While weve been keeping our heads-down in development since the last major QoL patch, were constantly reading and listening to feedback from all around the player-base be that from the online competitive scene, map-making fans as well as casual players who are keen to see more content to get stuck into. As such we have 3 updates in the works: v1.3.0 Minor Patch

• Korean Language will be added! !
• Bug fixes
• Some technical stuff laying the foundation for PC Mod support

PC Mod Support Patch

• Adds mod support via Steam Workshop check out this Commander mod preview where we recruited one of our office dogs!
• This patch will follow closely behind v1.3.0 and will be in open beta to get player feedback

v2.0 Major Update

• BIG brand new content full details to be revealed at a later date
• Lobby listings, so that players can find publicly hosted games
• Unit balance adjustments to a number of units and Commanders
• Quickplay map rotation New maps will be chosen and weather will also be turned off in Quickplay mode.

This update will also include new Map Editor options theres quite a lot of ideas were testing at the moment, so here we go

• Gizmos New place-able entities with an on and off state such as levers and chests. Using gizmos you can override terrain (e.g. draw bridges) and will also be able to enter new actions to set and toggle the gizmo state, as well as new conditions to check it.
• Counters Were adding new actions to perform arithmetic between counters as well as setting the counter to random value, and load/storing counter values to some other variables (HP, Groove etc.). Theres also a new condition to compare counters.
• Actions can now play sounds
• Metalocations Were adding support for metalocations which indicate where things last happened on the map, for example the last attacker, last defender, last recruit, last unit used, last movement path, last death etc. There will also be new actions for locations, such as copying a location area, moving location by (x,y) and boolean operations between locations.
• Unit Modifiers Were also enabling players to modify the damage that any unit/structure receives as a percentage, including making them invulnerable. Were also looking into a teleport unit action for the editor.
• Map upload slots will also be increased so users can upload more maps at once.

As we mentioned earlier, we want to keep you updated on what were working on, but be aware that not all of the above may make it into the final update list as we continue implementing and testing new features, so do wait for the final patch notes which will be revealed when each patch is ready to deploy! Theres still even more announcements on the way for Wargroove, so plenty still to look forward to in 2019!
