Worms W.M.D Community Roadmap - October!

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.

The worms are back in their most destructive game yet! With a gorgeous, hand-drawn 2D look, brand new weapons, the introduction of crafting, vehicles and buildings plus the return of some much-loved classic weapons and gameplay, Worms W.M.D is the best worms experience ever.

Key Features

Wonderfully 2D: The best implementation of the Worms formula, now with a brand new worm and lovingly hand crafted 2D artwork.

Classic Gameplay, Back by Popular Demand: We hear you! Worms W.M.D sees the reintroduction of the much loved ‘classic’ Ninja Rope, and we’ve recreated some of the key physics and gameplay that made the previous games so popular!

Crafting: No more waiting around while your opponents take their turns! Grab the crafting crates that drop from the sky during games to make fiendishly upgraded versions of items such as the Electric Sheep, the Bazooka Pie and the Holy Mine Grenade to unleash on your enemies!

Buildings: Keep your head down, and hide out in a building. Buildings provide a tactical advantage by hiding away your worms, and keeping them safe from direct attacks!

Tanks: Drive around the landscape in warfare-ready Tanks. These conflict-hungry vehicles can help you get around faster, protect your worms, and provide extra fire power!

Helicopters: Take to the skies and perfect your aerial assault skills as you unleash rapid-fire chaos on your enemies below! Pilot safety not guaranteed.

Mounted Guns: As if over 80 weapons and utilities wasn't already enough! A range of different gun types are placed around the landscape, allowing your warmongering worms to do even MORE damage!

Online Multiplayer and Great Single Player: Create havoc online in ranked or friendly multiplayer modes, with room for up to 6 players and 8 worms each on a map! There’s also plenty for the solo player to do - Worms W.M.D comes locked and loaded with a huge arsenal of Training Missions, Campaign Missions, and Challenges.
