One of the biggest events in the gaming calendar, The Game Awards, is fast approaching and were extremely proud to see that not just one but TWO Team17 releases have been nominated for awards this year! First up, chaotic co-op cooking game Overcooked! 2 has been nominated for Best Family Game, while pinball-Metroidvania Yokus Island Express is up for Best Debut Indie Game! It means so much to the hard-working people at the Team17 studio, as well as our Games Label partners at Ghost Town Games and Villa Gorilla to be recognised in these categories, but wed be over the moon if they won. Maybe were biased, but we think they deserve it! How you can help! The Game Awards winners are decided by a mix of independent judges and fan votes, and in the case of Best Debut Indie Game in which Yokus Island Express is running the category is 100% decided by fans. We want to spread the word about these two great games and encourage more people to play them, and we cant do it without you! So if youve played either of these gems and would like to help out then please head to The Game Awards website and cast your vote! Please note that it is possible to vote once per 24 hours (if youre feeling super passionate about the awards) and doing so will increase the chances that your game of choice wins. So too will taking advantage of the option to share your choice to social media when prompted to do so. Try the Yokus Island Express demo! If you havent played Yokus Island Express and would like to try it before voting, theres a free demo available on the Steam page. Why not give it a whirl and find out what all the fuss is about Thank you all for reading (and hopefully voting). Well see you all at The Game Awards on December 6th!

Calling all Worms W.M.D map makers!

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

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
Download Now Winner 2 - fairground by Spidermensch
Download Now There you have it! A huge thank you to everyone who submitted an entry, we were massively impressed by the quality and originality of the maps that were submitted into the competition. 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

W.M.D Building Notes

• 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

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.

Hey Community, You've had some time to settle into the latest addition to Worms W.M.D, Forts Mode, so we figured it's about damn time we found out who's #1.

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.

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

• 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.
