Nutters! There will be no Sudden Death when the time runs out on the Kickstarter campaign for Worms: The Board Game, having achieved its funding goal faster than a Jet Pack wearing Worm! Worms: The Board Game is a hilarious game of strategy, chance and exploding Sheep! Bring the nostalgia, fun and utter mayhem of Worms to life- right on your tabletop.

Worms: The Board Game Kickstarter Page

A lot has happened since the Kickstarter launched, including lots of daily reveals, information about features and surprise additions and heres a brief overview of some of them! But before we get into this, we want to showcase our latest addition to Worms: The Board Game... Professor Worminkle from Worms 4: Mayhem!
Alongside this daily reveal, here's more information around Worms: The Board games newest features:

Sound Effects & Timer App

A highly requested item from the community during the Kickstarter as been on incorporating the familiar speech and sound effects from in-game. Well, full details are still be confirmed, but there are now plans to include a range of audio to really bring your tabletop experience to life! To put everything in the same place, plans also include a game-style countdown timer for those who want to play with some added pressure, and the hilarity of watching your opponents make silly mistakes as the seconds tick down...

Closer Look: Sentry Guns

Sentry Guns are a little more complex than most other weapons, so come with the card shown below, a reference card, and tokens for deploying on the map. Represented by a token, Sentry Guns count as a 'Thing' (for the purposes of filling a hex) and are immovable once deployed. If they take damage, they are destroyed. How do they work? Sentry Gun tokens are marked with an arrow, so when deployed they face out of one side of their hex (their facing cannot be changed). If a Thing moves to a hex within the Sentry Gun's line of fire, it is damaged. This is an excellent way of restricting your opponent's ability to position well as they must deal with the Sentry Gun first, or restrict their (safe) movement in the meantime. Just beware that the Sentry Gun doesn't discriminate between friendly and enemy Worms entering its line of fire, so make sure to have a plan before you deploy one!

Let's Talk Superweapons

For those of you who don't know, these are rare and powerful weapons that can be used to press home an advantage or turn the tide if your team of Worms are in a desperate situation. They can have a big impact if used well, but expect plenty of laughter from your opponents if you make a bad call and something backfires! These weapon cards have a yellow header so you instantly know you've picked up something special from a crate...now make sure to keep a straight face. There are a good range of these cards, from today's Buffalo of Lies to the Concrete Donkey (Hee-Haw!), the Holy Hand Grenade (Halleluja!), the Priceless Vase...and more. There are enough in the deck to give you plenty of variety, but few enough that you'll get a thrill when you draw one.

Timeline

The team want to extend their thanks to the 4,500+ backers to the project so far and are so excited the most iconic of wriggly critters will battle away on tables around the world. The plan is for pledges to be delivered in August 2024 - however, the exact timing may change and there is always the potential for delay with any products produced in China. Backers will be kept updated through the process.

You can also follow Worms on Twitter to keep up to date with future daily reveals! https://twitter.com/WormsTeam17 Today we also have a special Q&A, with the man behind the miniatures of Worms: The Board Game: Luigi Terzi!

Q&A With Our Sculptor: Luigi Terzi

Hi Luigi! Tell us a little about your background in sculpting. I started sculpting 10 years ago, but first started out in graphic design. After working with legendary game designer Alessio Cavatore I asked if he knew anyone searching for an illustrator and a sculptor, and thats how I came to meet Ronnie and his team at Mantic Games! Through the years I have done work for Warlord Games, Modiphius, Fantasy Flight, Steamforged, Wyrd, & Wizkids. I have also sculpted large-scale models for companies like Sideshow and Figurama. How did you feel when asked to work on Worms? My very first thought was thats going to be a lot of fun, and it has been! Are you a fan of the Worms video games? I played them a lot before raising a family. Back then I also loved Wipeout, Tekken and Colin McRae Rally so maybe you can guess my age from this list! What are the challenges with sculpting these characters? The most difficult thing is making the Worms look like they have paused mid-action! They have to be very expressive. Its all about combining fun facial expressions with a cool pose that works. Finally, they need to have enough variety so they will look great together on the tabletop. What was the best thing about this project? Having the chance to do something totally different from anything else Ive worked on! Working with different design styles really helps to keep my creativity fresh. Do you have a favourite worm that youve sculpted for the campaign? Do I have to pick just one? I have a few, my top 3 are: the worm with a sheep, the worm with a vase, and (*spoiler alert*) at first place is the disco worm he looks fantastic!
Thanks Luigi its been a pleasure chatting with you, and thanks for all your work on Worms: The Board Game!

3 Modes

Take on the battle royale mode in Last Worm Standing or with 2 friends in the Squads mode. If that's not your cup of tea you can roll into the death match mode and hone your skills whilst respawning straight back into the action if you stand too close to a blossoming banana bomb.

32 player transforming maps

As of launch there are 3 maps designed full of funny references, iconic landmarks and strategic areas to get the upper hand on opponents. The maps can also have the chance to transform mid way through the battle with missile launches and even portals opening to shake up the match.

Equip a whole host of powerful classic and new weaponry!

Wield classic weaponry from the Worms series, like the devastating holy hand grenade and also equip yourself with completely new guns like the projectile bouncing plasma launcher.

Customise your worm to the max

Don't look like a basic worm... well actually you can but if you want to really get ahead on the worm walkway then there's so many options open to you! Felt like a dinosaur on the outside but on the inside you were worm... don't worry we've got the outfit for that! Plus, match many accessories to get a completely custom look. You will get xp in the matches to unlock new tiers of outfits and customisations to how you are presented in the game!

Don't wriggle around the maps

In Worms Rumble, movement is key! Roll around the map to speed up and also scale walls with extra jumps but be careful as you'll need to carefully manage your stamina! Also, find classic equipment to give you an extra edge like the jetpack and utility belt which can take you to the skies!

Come up with unique ways to play and gain the edge

Hey W.M.D Crew, Today were incredibly excited to announce that Worms Rumble will be launching on Steam this December! Worms Rumble is the next instalment in the Worms franchise! Launching this December youll be able to jump into intense, real-time battles with unto 32-players! You can squad up or fight solo in different game modes from Deathmatch to Last Worm Standing.

So to celebrate this awesome news weve put together a new trailer for you that reveals a new, never before seen level as well as some new items [previewyoutube=YCSWCEAgRzQ;full][/previewyoutube] Let's take a look at some of the new trailer reveals shall we!

Introducing Portal Park

Say Hello! to the second map revealed for Worms Rumble, Portal Park! This sprawling map built inside a sports stadium features a mix of wide open spaces and close quarter combat scenarios, challenging players to adapt their fighting styles on the fly, unless they want to eat a Bazooka to the face The map itself is split into two distinct areas, with the upper area featuring the stadium, a giant map altering portal (more on that at a later date) and a focus on artillery and aerial style combat. The second area, found in the lower half of the map, is built around underground train tracks where players will be CQC weapons to be most effective as you fight train to train and launch ambushes from hidden vents, so make sure youve got your shotguns and a spare grenade or two when entering this area! Oh and did we mention that the trains move! Savvy worms will be able to hitch a ride to rapidly cross the width of the map Just try not to end up on the windscreen though!

New Mobility Gadgets

Weve seen you asking about what mobility options will be available in Worms Rumble and today were pleased to officially reveal two of them! (Yes, for those wondering, theres more.) As we all know, the ability to move around the map in a quick and stylish fashion is a key Worms feature and thats no different in Rumble, so lets take a look at what youll be getting to grips with: The Grappling Gun A close cousin of the Ninja Rope, the Grappling Gun rewards skillful worms with unrivaled mobility and speed, allowing you to swiftly navigate through the map, change your momentum and even access hard to reach locations.
Worms that become comfortable with this tool will also find many useful applications for the Grappling Gun during a firefight too The Jetpack The classic Jetpack is back and ready to take your worm to the skies! This tool is perfect for use in open spaces and larger rooms, giving you the ability to rain down destruction from above or fly above the carnage of an enemy Banana Bomb.
Perfect for ambushing enemies from above or quickly escaping a losing battle, Jetpack users should be aware that whilst highly mobile they are vulnerable to precision weapons whilst hovering, so unless youre wanting to visit the respawn screen try and avoid that! Fashion - The True Endgame? Just like its peers, Worms Rumble will be packed full of cosmetics for you to customise your worm and make them unique. Some of these will be available from the start, with lots more being unlocked by just playing the game however you like and progressing through the ranks, using your preferred weapons and completing special challenges.

Hey community, Today we’re happy to announce that the Wormhole update is live on Worms W.M.D! This content update introduces brand new locations for you to wage wormy warfare on as well as some quality of life fixes and tweaks.

New Theme - Wormhole

Not that long ago, in a galaxy not too far away, the worms crash landed on a strange new world. Naturally, they immediately started a turf war to fight over this newly discovered world of tentacle monsters and abandoned alien tech.

New Forts – Mushroom and Tree Hugger

The worms have been increasing their property portfolio once again, adding two nature themed forts to their list of lairs!

New Customisation Items – Three New Hats and Gravestones

The cherry on the content cake, we’ve added six new customisation items, available immediately to all players! Looking at that shark gravestone, you’re going to need a bigger drillboat…

As always, we'd love to hear your thoughts on the Wormhole update! Please feel free to share your feedback with us at the following locations:

• Steam Forums
• Worms Twitter
• Team17 Discord

Hello Community and Happy Halloween! Whether you're looking for tricks or treats on this, the spookiest of days, the worms have been preparing for battle on some player created, Halloween themed maps. As many of you are aware we challenged the creative players that reside within the community to come up with their interpretation of a Halloween themed map, with our favorite being chosen as the winner. The winner would be rewarded with a map spotlight on Thursday's Worms W.M.D stream as well as earning themselves an official Worms plushie signed by the Worms W.M.D creative team. However, we were so impressed with the high quality we were seeing in our entries we couldn't settle with just one winner, so we went for two! Both our winners will be receiving the advertised prize and we highly recommend that if you've got Worms W.M.D on Steam you download these maps free and get stuck into some horror themed wormy warfare using the links below. Winner 1 - Pumpkin Castle by Rils

It was tougher than a Concrete Donkey to pick our winners. If you are one of the lucky winners please send me a friend request on Steam and we'll sort out sending you your loot!

Hey there Wormers, Grab your crafting materials as today we’re excited to launch the Worms W.M.D Custom Hat & Building Editors! This free update will give all players the ability to create, share and use their own designs for both Worm hats and usable buildings via the Steam Workshop. You can access both new editors alongside the original world editor by going to the Tools submenu in your Steam Library. Now as we’ve put out some new features for you to get stuck into the Dev Team have put together some handy hints and tips to help you on your creative journey…

Building Editor

You can now add buildings to your landscapes. You can create your own or use published buildings created by others. To add a building either subscribe to one through Steam Workshop or create one yourself via File> Import building. This will prompt you to import the three layers of a building (Front, Collision and Background). These three layers must be the same dimensions. Once a building has been imported it will appear on the Resources list. From here you can drag onto your landscape and position it. PNGs should be used as it isn’t possible to edit transparency / alpha on jpegs.

W.M.D Building Notes

Boggy the Builder says…

• A building is composed of 3 layers (Front, Collision and Background).
• Only the Collision Layer has collision (worms, payloads, explosions).
• Any land damage to the Collision layer will destroy it (just like regular landscape).
• This also destroys the Front layer (slightly larger so that you can see landscape).
• The Background Layer can never be destroyed.
• When a worm passes over the Background Layer the Front layer is removed.
• There can be holes in the front layer to see inside the building without being in it.
• There can be holes in the Background Layer, when a worm is fully over this hole he will be classed as not in building and the front will be shown.
• Building Background Layer will delete any regular landscape they are placed on top of (unless there is a hole).
• You can have a maximum of seven buildings on a landscape.
• The maximum size of each building is 4096 x 2048.
• Buildings can be rotated through Transformations, Rotation in Object properties.
• You can place buildings close together, overlapping slightly (as seen in the Carentan tunnel systems) but as they overlap more it can look confusing.
• Top tip, in most cases you’ll want to cut away the foreground layer slightly where you have building entrances so that you can see where openings are. Art on the foreground layer can also reinforce this.

Hat Editor

The hat editor allows you to create and share you own custom hats. You can create you rcustom hat via File> Import Hat. This will allow you to select your hat image, preview it and upload to Steam Workshop. The maximum size is 128x128 (This is used for the frontend version and scaled down ingame) There is a preview image visible to help verify placement of your hat relative to the worm. Workshop hats will appear at the top of the Outfits list in Team Customisation. There is also a new Refresh Workshop items button in this menu. Remember, hats do not have collision. We’re excited to see what you come up with so be sure to share your creations with us on the official Worms Twitter account @WormsTeam17 as we’ll be looking to show off some of your custom hats and buildings. Now you’ve got the tools and information you need, go forth and create!

Hey Community, As Halloween approaches we thought we’d offer up a competition for the map makers among us!

Competition Dates: 28/09/2017 – 30/10/2017 Prize: Worms Plushie signed by the Worms W.M.D Level Designer Special stream dedicated to our winning map(s) The rules:

• Respect copyright: We cannot accept maps that contain content that falls under copyright.
• Refrain from including: Gore, Nudity, Sexual Themes/Content, and Graphic Violence.

Hey Community, We've seen your chatter on the forums about when the next update is coming to Worms W.M.D. Whilst we're not bringing you a date today we are going to share with you some exciting tid-bits on what you will be getting when the next free update for the game drops in the near future. Good news! Custom Buildings and Custom Hats are coming to Worms W.M.D, as listed in our 12 month roadmap. So naturally, to give you a preview of these features in action we've taken one of the most popular community made maps and hollowed it out to show you the power that's inside. Oh, we also used one of the developer's dog's head as a custom hat for a Worm. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPlfPtqOm2A And a little look at some of the behind the scenes trickery you'll get upto to make your buildings work...
No release date to announce just yet, but it won't be too long! Let us know what you're excited to create when this update drops over on the forums.

Forts Mode

Forts Mode has arrived! This free update brings with it a new, fan favourite game mode that pits you, your Fort (and your allies) against a rival Fort in a tactical game of attack, defence and sweet grenade throws. Choose one of 6 unique animated Forts, customise it with your preferred tactical upgrade consisting of either:

• Static Gun
• Sentry Gun
• Magnet
• Health Crate
• Craft Crate

Then finally give your Fort that personal touch with a flag that’s decorated with your Steam profile picture. (This is automatically applied to the Fort) You’re now ready to take to battlefield and fight to be the Forts Mode Master! Oh and Forts Mode will now pop up in Ranked Mode, so prepare to add a few new chapters to your big book of Wormy tactics. 6 Brand New Forts

• Castle Hassle
• Donkey Dig
• Reactor
• Haunted
• Pink Peril
• Rocket

New customisation rewards – Unlock 3 new hats and 3 new Gravestones for your Worms by being victorious in Forts Mode! Brand new crafted weapon - The 'Magnetised Drone' designed by Survii Gecko. This brand new, community designed crafting upgrade gives the Mischievous Drone a new, offensive/defensive twist. You can choose to deploy this weapon with either a repel or attract magnet mode, thus allowing you to move mines around the map and either carry or push them into enemy Worms. You can also ‘land’ the Drone and it’ll become a stationary magnet in the location it comes to rest.

To commemorate his victory you will now find a special Hat, Gravestone and Voice Pack in the customisation options dedicated to this Streamer.

There you have it!

We've teamed up with Twitch to bring you an early preview of Forts Mode live on Friday 5th May!

Ranked Mode 2.0 is here!

Welcome to Worms W.M.D’s new Ranked Mode update, where players can rise up the ranks by winning games. Not only that but you'll also earn points as you win and unlock brand new rewards along the way. Features

• Skill Based Matchmaking: Players will be matched against opponents of equal rank where possible.
• ELO Based Points System: More points are awarded for beating a player of a higher rank and less points are awarded for beating a player of a lower rank.
• Rewards: Each rank tier and bracket have their own rewards. Once you have earned a reward it can’t be lost, even if you drop ranks!

So keep an eye out for new hats, animated Team HP bars, Team name backgrounds and more... Oh and if you were Ranked #1 in the world, we'll have something special coming for you. How does progression work? There are ten rank tiers to rise through within 4 brackets (Bronze, Silver, Gold and Master). Once a bracket is reached players cannot drop back down to a previous bracket. Bonus points are awarded for winning your first ranked game each day, and for gaining a winning streak of three wins. (The win streak bonus will be held as long as you keep winning games!) tl:dr - First win of the day bonus, 3 wins in a row bonus. Getting stuck in! Ranked games can be played from the Multiplayer Menu by selecting ‘Ranked 1 vs 1’. Clicking on ‘Your Rank’ allows you to preview and set rewards, view the ranked leaderboards, and check out the infographic showing progression. Once Armageddon rank is reached, your worldwide position within that tier is shown, so that you can continue to battle it out among the Elite to be the world’s best Worms W.M.D player! NOTE: Any rewards that were earned from the previous Rank system are yours to keep and will not be removed - Silver Grenade, Golden Bazooka. Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue which was causing players Rank Points to be reset to zero
• Fixed an issue which prevented camera from locating worm during Teleport In phase
• Fixed an issue whereby the Drone wasn’t being damaged by fire
• Fixed an issue which could alter the players aiming following a jump
• Fixed an issue when timer became low during Teleport In and no warning audio could be heard
• Fixed an issue that was causing the audio of the magnet to be heard in the frontend
• Fixed an issue whereby certain speechbank samples weren’t being triggered correctly

Hey Community, That's right, the time has come to announce the winner of the design a weapon competition..but first a message from the development team, who had the hard task of picking a winner: Firstly, thank you to everyone who entered the competition. We don't think a Holy Hand Grenade could of blown us away as much as the quality and thought that went into these entries. We enjoyed going through all the submissions and they prompted some really exciting discussions here at Team17 towers. We're so impressed with what the community put forward, it really was top notch. Though we’ve only picked one winner we have been influenced by many of the other ideas. Keep a look out for possible future weapons inspired by some of the concepts here in future updates.

The Winner

Survii Gecko & their 'Magnestised Mischievous Drone' But what is this Drone we hear you ask, well, Survii Gecko says it best: Basic use: The basic use of this drone would be to get an assured shot on an enemy by placing a magnet next to them (of course they could knock it out the way if they had a turn first) or to place a much-needed electromagnet next to a friendly you currently aren't playing as. Advanced use: The advanced use of this drone would be to fling mines across the map at enemies or drop them into caverns where enemy worms are situated by utilising the magnetic properties of the drone. Of course this would be extremely hard to do and I'm sure only the scary ninja-roping pro-crowd would be able to pull off these moves reliably. Another use would be to put the electromagnet in a place you can use to deflect your bazooka shots into an enemy’s face. Mechanics: The drone would deploy exactly as it does now, and have identical properties to the current drone (speed etc.) while also having the same magnet statistics to the basic electromagnet, the only difference is that this drone doesn't die when the timer runs out, it just falls. This version of the drone counts as a move though, so you can't throw a drone out and then get a guaranteed hit on an enemy on that same turn. Pressing space drops the drone. The Developers had this to say for picking this weapon: We liked the utility this can bring to the game for both offence and defence. We imagined some interesting and very sneaky tactics developing from it. Stay tuned to see this attractive addition to the worms arsenal in a future update. And thus, 'Survii Gecko Industries' enters Worms Canon as the producers of the very first Drone upgrade! We've even got the first draft of the description ready: Long - Developed at ‘Survii Gecko Industries’ the Magnetised Mischievous Drone is sure to be a positive addition to any wormers arsenal while having a negative effect on enemies. Remember to set the polarity before using. Short – A magnetised drone from ‘Survii Gecko Industries’.

Honorable Mentions

The quality of entries so damn high community, the team couldnt help but highlight some of the entries that so nearly took the top spot:

• Wormhole - just Wizzy
• Sticky Gum Stinger - Haruka
• Slug - spider_689
• Peacemaker - Krava
• Hook Lick and Sinker - Hugh Mungo
• Lil' Rover - SmashingRenders

Thank you to everyone who took part and shared their ideas, we are both humbled and proud of you all. The quality of the submissions means this probably won't be the last time we reach out to you in regards to designing something for us ;)

Hey Community, We’re excited to announce the first community Worms W.M.D design a weapon competition! That’s right, we’re asking you to design a weapon with the end goal of having it created and implemented into the full game by our development team. So, what are we looking for? We want you to design a craftable upgrade for one of the four new weapon additions that arrived in the ‘Liberation’ Update. These are:

• Tasty Worm Lick
• W1 Rocket
• Mischievous Drone
• Worm Stinger

You can submit one and only one weapon design, so pick your favourite of the four and get scheming! The more information you can give us about your idea the better, but don’t worry if, like myself, you’re not the arty type, a word based description can suffice. You can submit the following features as part of your competition entry:

• Weapon Name
• Crafting Cost
• Visual Description
• Usage/Effect Description
• Damage Values
• Blast Values
• Visual Artwork
• Concept Art

After the closing date of the competition we’ll comb through all your entries and draw up a short list. The development team will then pick the final winner and we’ll announce it in all its glory! The development team will also get final say on the weapon’s balancing. Please post your entry in the official competition entry thread HERE Use this thread to link to artwork, describe your weapon and anything mentioned on the submission list above. If your entry isn’t posted there it won’t count. The competition is open from now and closes on Friday 27th January at 18:00pm GMT! We can’t wait to see what you come up with. As an added bonus the winner will receive some unique artwork of their weapon in both concept and final stages.

Hey Community, The time has come for us to share our Worms W.M.D Roadmap with you! Since the game’s launch in August we’ve been working hard planning out what content to bring to the game. The roadmap has gone through a few iterations and versions in both deciding what it should contain as well as what we should prioritise. The order in which we add content to the game was settled on after combining your feedback along with our vision for the game and what we can feasibly do in the given time. Some of the information will be more detailed than others, this is intentional as we keep back some surprises and finalise a few more dates and details. There will also be some things entirely hidden and we’ll spring them on you nearer the time. Thank you all for your support since the game’s launch, this is a journey we’re excited to share with you and we look forward to your feedback! Other than the different quarters all information listed below is in no particular order.

Quarter 1 2017

Cross Platform Play To ensure a smooth release of cross platform play between PC, Mac and Linux we’ve decided to push this out after Christmas. This was decided as the last thing we want is to push out this update and have it break multiplayer whilst everyone is away on holiday. We’re excited to get this out and in the wild so don’t expect to have to wait long once things get rolling again in January. Ranked Relaunch Ranked is being rebooted and relaunched, bigger, better, bolder…and fairer!

• Improved Matchmaking – New matchmaking that will ensure more fair, competitive matchups.
• Points awarded/lost differ depending on the skill gap with your opponent.
• A new league style progression system & worldwide ranking.
• Upgraded ranked profile page and ways to show off your ranked status in-game.
• New, tiered ranked rewards that add new ways to cosmetically show off your skill both in and out of game.

Community, the free Liberation update has arrived, marking the biggest update to come to Worms W.M.D since the game launched! Check out the post below to discover what brand new free content awaits you as well as a whole host of bug fixes, including a fix for 21:9, weapon tweaks and balance changes. Oh and you can now choose up to 5 crafted weapons to add to your scheme!

Liberation: A Whole new theme to play with which includes bunker and tunnel systems

• 5 brand new single player missions
• 4 brand new weapons including the Tasty Worm Lick, Worm Stinger, Drone and W1 Rocket
• A brand new vehicle that can travel on water; The Drillboat
• Over 10 brand new buildings specific to the new Liberation update, which also include Bunkers and Tunnels.
• 12 new customisations

Additional Features and Tweaks

• Added a new scheme to allow up to 5 crafted weapons to be used from the start (Stage 1)
• Global Chat player list now shows players who are in active battle with their annelids

New Scheme

• Added a new ESL scheme to allow players to easily practise this scheme between tournaments.
• Reordered the scheme list to bump the most popular schemes up the list.

Pro / Ranked scheme

• Disabled crafting crates so that both players are on an equal footing when crafting items and given both players more crafting materials to compensate for the change
• Starting craft materials changed from 2/2/0/0 to 8/6/1/0
• Craft crate drops set to 0% chance

Crates Drops

• Crate drop speed has been increased to allow for faster turn transitions.
• Drop Height (from ground) increased from 300 to 1200
• Drop speed increased from 7.5 to 12

Weapon Tweaks Banana Bomb & Super Variant

• Increased the spread of the chained payloads from the Banana Bomb and Super variant.
• Banana Bomb ChainedPower increased from 45 to 55
• Super Banana Bomb ChainedPower increased from 45 to 55

Helicopter

• Reduced damage output of the Helicopter and made it more difficult to reach higher damage values. This vehicle’s utility still lies heavily in its mobility.
• Min and max shock range 70/80 to 50/80
• Min and max shock damage 2/3 to 1/2
• MaxRepeatDamage 70 to 50

Vehicle mine

• Vehicle Mine has a vehicle damage multiplier. It is now deadlier against vehicles and not as strong against worms.
• Vehicle damage mod x4
• Reduced shock min & max range 525/540 to 60/410 (including push)
• Initial shock changed from 60 to 25 damage
• Reduced push from 50 to 30

Sentry Gun / Sentry Gun Lite

• Adjusted turn speed and reaction rate of Sentry Gun to allow for easier counter-play with this weapon when ‘trapped’ by it. Also adjusted maximum damage so that this weapon is less of an all-in-one solution and more specialised to area denial.
• Maximum bullet damage changed from 50 to 30
• Tracking Speed reduced slightly
• Warm up time increased slightly

Luzi

• The Uzi crafted variants have been rebalanced. They were capable of too much damage with very easy to meet conditions to get the best out of them.
• Reduced damage per bullet from 6 to 5
• Reduced maximum bullet damage to 50
• Reduced shots fired from 12 to 10
• Removed explosive damage from the final bounce

Minigun

• Reduced maximum damage from 70 to 60

Sheep Launcher

• The Sheep Launcher has had its launch power increased to allow it to cover a larger area of the landscape.
• Launch power increased from 24 to 36

Crafting Costs We have made lots of adjustments to the crafting costs of weapons. The goal of this was to encourage the use of more weapon variations and reduce the cost variance between weapons of similar power/type. Weapon variations that have a small power increase now cost a premium in the first two crafting tiers (Poison Dynamite is a good example of this) , whereas weapon variations that jump up a power band will have a tier 3 or 4 premium added to their cost (Mega Buster is a good example of this). (Boggy’s Special Sauce / Sticky Donkey Paste / Banana Bomb Seeds / Tears of a Worm)

Hey Community, The time has come to announce the dates for our Worms W.M.D Cross-Play Beta! Platforms and Timings The Cross-Play Beta will be launched with the aim to bring together Worms W.M.D players from the following platforms:

• Windows
• Mac
• Linux

The Beta will start at 10am GMT on Friday 25th (this Friday) and run until 10am GMT on Tuesday 29th. How do I sign up? Good news, this is an open Beta so all are welcome! There’s no password required to get access to the Beta, however you will need to access a different branch of Worms W.M.D. The good news is, this is really simple to do, even if you’ve never done it before. We’ve got the process below for you:

• Right click on Worms W.M.D in the players game library
• Select Properties > Betas
• Open the drop down list under ‘Select the beta you would like to opt into:’
• Select “beta”
• Select ‘CLOSE’ in the properties window
• Allow Worms W.M.D to update to the Beta version
• Launch Worms W.M.D

Then all you need to do is play as normal! Linux users – Make sure you’re up to date! We just need you to make sure that you’ve got your drivers up to date and that GL version 3.3 installed. If you’re not up to date you’ll be grab them through the manufacturer’s drivers. We’ve had to make this change as the minimum version of OpenGL had to be updated to get Cross-Play working. How do I report bugs/give feedback? In order to give the most direct, quality feedback straight to the development team we’re going to need our budding Beta testers to report to us on the Team17 Mantis database. You can sign up to Mantis and find out all the information on how to report bugs by following this LINK. By giving us feedback on the feature here it will greatly increase the speed at which we can make sure the feature is working as intended and we can roll it out as a fully-fledged, permanent feature to the main game branch. What can I do before the Beta? Start talking to each other, Mac & Linux players make yourself known. Windows players, if you know any Mac/Linux players give them a prod. Agree some timings where you’ll be on at the same time so you can have a good cross platform battle. Feel free to use this thread to do this. When you’re playing on the Beta branch you will be on a separate server to the main game and will not be matched with those who aren’t participating in the Beta. Not only does this serve as a reminder that if you want to play some normal games, switch back to the normal branch, but highlights the importance of sorting out some matchups beforehand. If you have any questions please feel free to leave a post. Thank you for your support with this, we’re excited to start the process of unifying the Worms W.M.D Community in glorious battle.

Hey Everyone, You might’ve seen in the forums that we’ve started a monthly community roadmap to show you what we’ll be working on with Worms W.M.D each month. Today’s update brings with it a host of fixes to improve performance for the Community.

Windows Update

• Fixed an issue where worms would slide when using the parachute
• Fixed an issue which prevented players using the last selected weapon after exiting a vehicle
• Fixed an issue which showed a gap in imported levels
• Fixed an issue which could prevent players from selecting team colours
• Fixed an exploit which allowed players to teleport outside of a cavern
• Fixed an issue where the commentary panel would appear after quitting an online match
• Fixed an issue which could prevent a restart from the results screen
• Fixed an issue which prevented from the input language updating correctly
• Fixed an issue which prevented Single Player missions from starting if the chat window was left open at the end of an online match
• Fixed an issue which could cause loss of input on both keyboard and controller when the chat window is left open after an online match
• Fixed an issue which changes the key bindings when using NumLock
• Fixed an issue which prevented symbols from being used in chat
• Additional fix when using Alt+F4 so the game can be closed
• Players can now quit LMP games in the mid round lobby
• Replays will now fade in and fade out
• Teleport in now has the correct audio effect
• The speed for the commentary text has been increased
• Tweaked AI threat value so it will target the biggest threat instead of going after the player all the time…sneaky Worms!!
• Ninja Rope will now correctly play the correct audio when attaching to the landscape

Tweaks - Tweak to minigun - Tweak to Bunker Buster when used on magnets Roadmap Updates At the start of the month we started our Community Roadmap to keep you in the loop with our plans for the month and to get your feedback. So, let’s give you an update on what’s what shall we! Global Chat – We were progressing at full steam with Global Chat and had originally had planned to have it released by now. Unfortunately we ran into a small hurdle of getting hold of a licence holder that would enable us to go live with the systems we wanted. Because of this we’ve had to explore other options that are now going through our QA process. We hope to have global chat seeing the light of day as soon as our QA team have signed it off. Global Chat will be releasing on the Windows version of Worms W.M.D first with roll out to the other platforms once we know everything is working as intended. Cross-Play Beta – We’re still on track with this to be functional by the end of the month, subject to nothing going wrong of course. Craftable Weapon Scheme – Due to the slight bump in the plans for Global Chat we prioritised that and reassigned extra development time to addressing the issue that had arisen there. Once everything is resolved in Global Chat we’ll be pushing on with the craftable weapons scheme. We’ve got more updates coming before the end of the month so stay tuned for more news. Join the patch discussion over on the forums now.

Starting right now we're going to be introducing a monthly Community Roadmap! The aim of the roadmap will be to keep you all in the loop regarding our plans for the game in the coming month, promote upcoming events and engage with you directly about new features that are in the pipeline. By bringing you closer to the development process and our vision, we aim to continue crafting and building upon Worms W.M.D to support you and make Worms W.M.D the best Worms game yet. So, things are pretty exciting update wise this month so let's get stuck in:

Global Chat

Many of you have asked for it and now it's almost here! Global Chat will allow players to chat to other online Worms W.M.D players and bring the online community closer together. Whether you want to promote your custom scheme game, make friends or just chat Worms then Global Chat will allow you to do that. Global Chat is also bringing a full UI change to the chat system. This will make chat much clearer using a 'tab' system rather than the little phone icon. This also means you'll be able to see the full lobby screen without the chat box covering up the important stuff.

Allowing 5 craftable weapons in the game as a scheme setting

Worms W.M.D hailed the arrival of craftable weapons, a whole new mechanic to let players customise their play style and react turn to turn on the battlefield with powerful new weapons and tools. However, these weren't available for custom schemes from launch, but later this month you'll be able to pre-select 5 craftable weapons to be part of your starting loadout as if they were standard weapons. We've had to limit this feature to 5 weapons for now so that we could get the feature live early. We have plans to expand this feature to full customisation on craftable/standard weapons in your match schemes, but, this is quite a big UI undertaking so will be coming in phases. So from Ropers to fans of fancy weapons, your freedom in creating your ideal match is nearly here!

Patches, including bug fixes and tweaking

Exactly what is says on the tin! We'll be watching the game very closely whether it's bugs, balance or a slight increase to the Worm plop sound. You can expect our support as we continue to refine the core game.

Cross Play in Beta between the Windows, Mac and Linux Steam builds

CROSS PLAY IS COMING! We'll be holding a Beta this month to prepare us for a smooth launch of this much desired feature. This will then bring Windows, Mac & Linux players together to see who will reign supreme. Of course we'll be wanting your help with this, so if you're on one of those platforms, do keep a lookout & make yourself known to us so you can pave the way with us! That's October! We'd love to hear what you think of what's coming in the October Roadmap official thread here.

[ 2016-10-04 15:08:54 CET ] [ Original post ]

Teamsters! We need your help!

You've had the opportunity to play Worms W.M.D for a while now, and we'd love for you to share your thoughts about the game. Whether you love it, are not sure about it, or just want to craft ridiculously OP weapons to annihilate your friends, let us know what you think about existing content, what you would like to see, and what is not quite working for you.

This link will take you to the survey, hosted by Google Forms.

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfUFkYotT3eQhGz8JCfaM7GEMnNb6Xct5Yt7YzFXCKOxv3KkQ/viewform

What happens to my feedback?

All feedback will be passed on to the development team, and used to improve some of the game's features.

Also, you need to know that ...

• We will ask for your email address so we can contact you should you win a prize (if you opt in to the prize draw).
• The survey should take approximately 5-10 minutes (comment boxes excluded).
• The comment boxes are optional in case you want to add more information. Write as much or as little as you want.

Prizes!

We appreciate completing surveys takes time.

• At the end of the survey there will be an option to enter the prize draw, with the opportunity to win one of three Worm-tastic loot bags.
• You get double the chance to win by telling us your most memorable Worm story ever. The top three stories that make the Producer and Lead Designer laugh the most will be shared for the world to see on the Team17 usability webpage - https://www.team17.com/usability/

If you experience any survey problems, or want to send me more info/Worms stories, email me (Janey) at usability@team17.com. I guarantee I read every email, and will pass on all comments to the development team. Thanks so much for helping out! Janey_Team17 <(T<)

I want to start by thanking everyone for their support and enthusiasm for Worms W.M.D, it’s been nothing short of amazing. And now I’m super happy to announce that you’ll be able to get your hands on Worms W.M.D when it launches August 23rd. http://store.steampowered.com/app/327030/ But that’s not all… We’re celebrating the launch of Worms W.M.D by gathering up our friends from across gaming for the Worms W.M.D All-Stars Pre-Order.

All gamers pre-ordering the game before its August 23rd launch will receive the following Worms W.M.D All-Stars content:

Worms fans worldwide are eager to cause mayhem with the all-new, mega-powerful Tank in Worms W.M.D., but wait until they get their hands on the Rocket League Octane Battle-Car! Soccer meets driving meets Worms. What's not to like?
Use the Goat-on-a-Rope weapon to strike fear into the hearts of your enemies as the goat swings around the gorgeous digitally painted 2D landscapes using its sticky tongue to hone in on them! Laugh maniacally as the homicidal maniac with hooves explodes, turning your opponents’ troops into worm meat! We also have a pretty cool Goat Simulator three mask set. Because, why not?
It’s Payday time for the worms. Stick it to the man by dressing your invertebrate chums up in the masks that have become iconic for millions of PAYDAY 2 fans around the world and plan your attack looking like a total badass. They’ll never take you alive!
The most outrageous, over-the-top action franchise in videogames, arrives in Worms W.M.D in the form of the Dubstep gun from Saints Row IV. This baby can inflict massive damage whilst making pedestrians (and worms) dance. Yes, dance. Team17 is proud, and slightly nervous, to announce that the Dubstep Gun will be bringing the dance-pocalypse as one of our mounted guns in honour of this awesome weapon.
The free-to-play zombie survival sensation, where millions of users try their best to stay alive, shuffles into Worms W.M.D in search of brains! And in homage to this popular zomb-fest, Worms fans can dress their slimy pals in a three mask set and wage war in an Unturned mission.
Coming to the explosive rescue of worms everywhere is the fan favourite Broforce Turkey Bomb, bringing the pain in Worms W.M.D. And that’s not all! The Liberty Strike is a Broforce flavoured airstrike which will rain down fiery hell from the skies. Booyah!
The War Mage and Sorceress have vowed to protect the world and guard the rifts. But sometime after the last great battle, trouble is brewing again. Whilst we wait for the Orc Invasion, we can dress our worms up in this Orcs Must Die! three mask set and unleash the excellent crafted minions weapon.
Dress your worms up as one of gaming’s most anticipated double acts with the awesome Yooka-Laylee seven mask set!
A three mask set from the award-winning 2015 hit The Escapists is a must-have accessory for all wormy wannabe escapists. And if you want somewhere different to escape to, there’s a new mission waiting for you.
Ahhhh, precious memories of mutually-assured worm destruction! Don’t you just wish you could re-live them? We’ve got you covered! Unleash the Ming Vase, Sheep Launcher and Kamikaze weapons, get stuck into five classic missions and head into battle in a classic Worms three mask set!
TF2 brings the worm pain with the devastating Sentry Gun weapon and nine mask set featuring the full TF2 crew of Pyro, Demoman, Medic, Spy, Soldier, Scout, Sniper, Heavy and Engineer.

Welcome to a new way to play Worms!

For the first time ever you’ll be able to adapt to situations on the fly by crafting an assortment of fittingly crazy weapons. Collecting the brand new crafting crates will give you access to 4 wonderful ingredients to craft your new favourite weapons. Short of ingredients? Dismantle the weapons you don’t plan on using and craft your way to victory!

Introducing the 4 ingredients:

• Boggy’s Special Sauce • Sticky Donkey Paste • Banana Bomb Seeds • Tears of a Worm

And there’s more!

Whilst you’re waiting for that friend of yours that takes forever to do anything, you can have your hands busy crafting. Yep, that’s right, Worms W.M.D will let you dismantle and craft weapons during the enemies turn. Which of course means that they’ll likely be crafting during yours. See crafting in action in our E3 Worms trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JjGjDf_YzzI

We want to know what you think of crafting so stop by the Worms W.M.D forum and say hello! And be sure to add Worms W.M.D to your Steam Wishlist: http://store.steampowered.com/app/327030/ If you liked the announcement please give it a thumbs up!
