Hello LoGers! Exciting news to kick off the new year; I'm here to introduce you to some recent and not-so-recent additions to our publishing team! We have...

• Kelsey (kindofsquishy), our Publishing Producer
• Chan (log_chan), our Community Manager
• & Sarah (wolfey_11), our Community Content Manager

Heya Armellians! Just a little one today. Last week Armello experienced some unexpected and sudden outages to our multiplayer server. This was due to an unannounced change to our multiplayer service provider's API. While we were able to secure a quick fix last week to get the servers back online, v2.2.2p4 which went live today across all platforms, contains some small under the hood adjustments to permanently protect our multiplayer against this in future (fingers-crossed). Happy questing, Heroes! <3 from ya LoG pals!

Hey Armellians! Short patch notes for this one, but super good news for a portion of our community here...

• Restored private matchmaking functions for Linux and Mac (macOS 12.3+) users.
• Public and Private crossplay now available across all platforms (including macOS & Linux).

Also, ICYMI...

Hey Armello pals! We come with news of the brand new game we just revealed as part of the PC Gaming Show!
Lead your crew on a daring, star-flung escape to the sanctuary of the Forever Star in this roguelite colony sim. Escape the clutches of Admiral Voltan and the warmongering Zutopans, as you build, repair, promote, defend, and grow, across multiple decks of your starship. With your home planet destroyed and your people lost, it's up to you to keep Hope alive on a perilous adventure across the galaxy!
Find out more, suss out the in-game screenshots, and watch our Official Reveal & Story Trailer over at the Jumplight Odyssey Steam page. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1893820/Jumplight_Odyssey/ Don't forget to add it to your Wishlist while you're there!

Heya Armellians! In many announcements here on Steam we've mentioned that we're currently working on two other titles, so we figured it's time you knew what they are.

Both of our new titles will be featuring in this week's PC Gaming Show!

Including the reveal of our second secret game!

And, ICYMI our other title has already been announced!

ALSO... One last lil' Armello thing!

EEK! Is that a Spooky dice? The unsettling cubes are back again, and you have a chance to collect them for yourself by playing multiplayer games during the spooky season. And in case you missed it - the dice collection has rolled on as well. Event begins: Thursday 27th of October AEDT Event ends: Thursday 3rd of November AEDT Eligible games: Any game that yields a regular chest AKA multiplayer games! Drop rate: These dice are intended to be rare, they have a pure drop chance of 10% per game. Platforms: Steam, Nintendo Switch, Xbox and Playstation Found more than one set?: Since you could possibly find multiple sets of these throughout the event, share them with your pals who weren't blessed by our RNG overlords if you play on Steam! <3 Trent and the LoG Squad

Hey Armellians! Just a quick post to let y'all know that our recent patch v2.2-p2 has been rolled out across consoles, so we've re-enabled Crossplay. Get questin', and I'll see ya in Armello! <3 Trent & the LoG Squad

Hey friends! Another patch hot off the press for any of you affected by issues finding and joining multiplayer games. In this patch:

• Players will no longer experience automatically cancelled matchmaking when server is erroneously at capacity.
• Fixed an issue where players could not requeue after cancelling the multiplayer queue too quickly.
• Fixed an issue where party members could break public matchmaking for their party.
• The not finding PartyWin7.dll error that was preventing some players from gathering a party has been resolved.

Hey Armellians! It's been great seeing so many of you jumping into our final update, v2.2 Crossplay, but after monitoring the live build for a month or so, there were some issues we wanted to iron out. So we just couldn't help ourselves - weve dived back in to investigate and address some bugs that were impacting players ability to load into matches. The focus of this patch is major issues with starting and finding games, and it's live now. We've addressed...

• An issue where the Game ready! popup would appear without all the player slots filled, preventing games from starting properly (note: there may still be empty slots for a few seconds while players finish joining the match).
• An issue where players would be searching for a game and never find one.
• An issue where you would occasionally receive an infinite spinner when attempting to join a private game lobby.

Hey there Armellians! It was the biggest, most complicated update we've ever done, but Armello's v2.2 Crossplay update is finally complete.

v2.2 Crossplay is now live across Steam, PlayStation, Xbox & Nintendo Switch

Remaining Known Issues:

• On extremely rare occasions, screen can freeze in a solid colour causing an NMA.
• Some difficulty connecting to online Party functions, ie. Gather Party window doesn't populate.
• Difficulty starting MP games (general issues where games can't start, or less than 4 users appear in lobby). We feel this may be a regional issue.
• No Party Functionality (including Private Games) on MacOSX & native Linux. Due to the severity of this one, we've removed any advertising of support for Linux & Mac from Steam (and shortly Humble Bundle), though folks can still purchase and play those versions. For anyone affected by this issue, you can find more info (including a workaround and refund options) here.

No More Reconnect

Dice Collection Rotations are Back!

Long Live the King

Hey Armellians, it's update time! As you know, our current focus is restoring Private Multiplayer and Party functionality across all platforms. I've been posting these to the Armello Steam forums, but wanted to send this one out a little wider, because we've got some great news this week.

Current Status:

• PC: Parties & Private Multiplayer = Online. :PNTCheckMark: Crossplay = Online. :PNTCheckMark:
• PlayStation: Parties & Private Multiplayer = Online. :PNTCheckMark: Crossplay = Online. :PNTCheckMark:
• Xbox: Parties & Private Multiplayer = Online. :PNTCheckMark: Crossplay = Online. :PNTCheckMark:
• Switch: Parties & Private Multiplayer = Online. :PNTCheckMark: Crossplay = Online. :PNTCheckMark:

So what's next?!

• Rejoin functionality and updated game guide entry!
• Resolving issues with Daily Chests for Mac & Linux players.
• Ensuring game invites work when being invited from outside of the game.
• Miscellaneous bug fixes and stability improvements.
• Final word on the fate of party functionality on Mac & Linux.

ALSO, very important...

Hey Armellians! Trent Kusters here, studio and production director at League of Geeks. First things first, if you missed it, we just pushed a small patch live that should fix multiplayer issues for the vast majority of Steam players, as well as restore Daily Chest functionality. You can find the patch notes here. Alright, so back at the end of Feb we informed you that some multiplayer functionality would be offline while we engaged in the final part of a major upgrade of Armello's multiplayer architecture. We said at the time we didn't know how long it would take, and whilst we're proud we've managed to keep public multiplayer and crossplay live the entire time (which is no small feat!), we had no idea we'd be here 10 weeks later still working at bringing private multiplayer back online for a bunch of you. Some of you have rightfully asked what's going on, and as always, we're an open book. So if you're not interested in the (very detailed) explanation of what's going on and where this upgrade is at, the TLDR is simply...

• We're sorry we haven't communicated more with you. We should have.
• We did not choose to do this upgrade, but we must (at great financial loss) in order to keep Armello multiplayer online for as far into the future as possible.
• Crossplay needs all platforms to be in sync to work, and Switch is stuck in Nintendo's certification process, holding everything up.
• To avoid this hold up, we've chosen to pivot strategy to just pushing platforms live as they're ready with their own multiplayer fixes, which will disrupt crossplay, but get private multiplayer back online faster for each platform. We'll then do a sweep updating all platforms so that they're back in sync and we can turn crossplay back on.
• Our multiplayer service provider has chosen not to support party functionality for Mac OSX and Linux in the new version we're forced to upgrade to. We're investigating solutions and will update our Mac/Linux players when we know more.
• We're close to finishing the network upgrade. Everything could be resolved in a couple of weeks. But the nature of crossplay means to finish this upgrade, we are at the mercy of all platform holders' certification processes.
• I'll be providing short, weekly updates on the progress of the network upgrade moving forward.

What is the current state of multiplayer functionality?

• On Windows, Public and Private multiplayer functionality is currently live and stable. Though Crossplay with consoles is temporarily disabled, and you will not be able to Party Up with friends on Mac OSX and Linux due to current issues from those platforms (see below).
• On Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, Mac OSX and Linux, forming Parties and Private Multiplayer games are currently unavailable. Public matchmaking on your own is still available. Crossplay is still available between console platforms.
• Meanwhile, across all platforms, all features (including; login, inventory management, progress saving, singleplayer games, item drops, etc) have remained live and stable.

I see people talking about multiplayer issues, but multiplayer works fine for me. What's happening?

Okay, so why is this network upgrade taking so long? Where are we at?

Hey Armellians! We've heard from a small number of you on Steam who are being affected by unexpected multiplayer issues right now, so we've broken from our current plans and just pushed a new patch live that should resolve them for most players, and we snuck in another (much requested) little fix too. ;) I've got a much bigger update for you later today that will give you more details on the ongoing network upgrade and Crossplay Beta, but we wanted to get this build and patch notes out to you asap.

Addressed in this patch:

• Players on Windows 7 will now be able to form parties and play private multiplayer.
• Daily chests should now be functioning and collectable again.

Known Issues

• Crossplay (with console platforms) has been temporarily disabled on Steam.
• Players on Linux (including Steam Deck) and Mac OSX are still not able to form parties and play private multiplayer. You should be able to queue for and play Public Multiplayer however.
• The ability to 'Rejoin' multiplayer games remains offline.

Hi folks! Just an important heads up; The team has been hard at work integrating a critical, network upgrade across all platforms (except mobile) and we expect some multiplayer functionality to go offline from tomorrow (March 1st) until further notice. Note: Although occurring during the current v2.2 Crossplay Beta, this network upgrade is actually independent to the work being done behind the scenes stabilising the recent Crossplay Beta across all platforms. This independent upgrade is critical in moving Armello off legacy server functionality that one of our major service providers is in the process of decommissioning. This critical network upgrade will bring Armello up to the latest version of matchmaking, party system, and server hosting that our provider offers. Yes, that means swifter starts to games, quicker forming of lobbies, and greater stability overall. Unfortunately though, while the upgrade takes place a temporary outage of some Multiplayer features in Armello is unavoidable.

• On Switch, Multiplayer games both Public and Private will be temporarily unavailable.
• On Xbox, PlayStation, Mac OSX and Linux, forming Parties and Private Multiplayer games will be temporarily unavailable. Public matchmaking on your own will still be available.
• Windows will be largely unaffected. Other than not being able to party up with your friends from other platforms, Public and Private multiplayer games should continue as normal.
• Lastly, rest assured that across all platforms, all other features (including; login, inventory management, progress saving, singleplayer games, item drops, etc) will remain available.

Howdy y'all, This is just a little message to let you all know that after 6 years of rolling dice, attempting perils and definitely never losing a Devs Vs Community match while streaming, Ive decided to end my story and am moving on from League Of Geeks and Armello. Ive had an indescribable journey during my time working on, developing, and leading Armello, and I will always hold it dearly in my heart. Id like to thank you, the community, for being such a passionate and involved group of fans and players, some of whom Ive had the pleasure of meeting all over the world. The wonderful Vix isnt going anywhere, so youre in safe hands, and the rest of LoG is committed to some exciting stuff for Armello in the future. Once again, thank you all so much, and I might see you in the world of Armello sometime. Cheers, Woody.

Hey gang, Adding to our previous post here's some more news regarding our next update for Armello, as we know a lot of you are waiting and wondering on when our next update is coming. Were making good progress on our next set of updates which includes console development. There's nothing further I can share specifically about the content of the update at this stage, but we are hoping for releases on all platforms as early as possible in 2021. We will announce and update you all again when we can with more detail, specifically when were confident we can deliver, and things are less turbulent. This is not the reality we wanted to be in. We planned and tried to get this content into your hands this year, but as many of you will understand this year has proven especially difficult, with a number of things unfortunately outside of our control. Were disappointed it could not be in 2020, but determined to release these updates as soon as we can in the new year. Hope you all have a safe and lovely holiday period, we all deserve it this year, thats for sure. Bless, and stay safe, Woody & the Armello team <3

Howdy y'all, Woody here, executive producer on Armello. Hope you're all doing as well as you can during this pretty rotten year. This exact post you're seeing now was planned to be an announcement with long-awaited news about Armello. However, all our intent and planning couldn't predict the struggles and complications that this year, the infamous 2020, has produced. With very strict (and important) restrictions currently in place here in Melbourne, and the situation evolving and changing rapidly, our capacity to work to predictable timelines has been heavily impacted (even with the studio working from home). As a result, and in all honesty, we can't make any announcements right now. Especially the big one we were hoping to make last month. What I can promise you:

• There is work being done on Armello right now. There has been for a while! We have stuff planned (yes, console updates are a part of this).
• We'll update you all with our plans for Armello as soon as we can responsibly and truthfully do so.
• Stranger games, dice events, and dice seasons will continue to rotate and happen as normal.
• Armello community support with the effervescent Vix will continue as it has, uninterrupted, in our post-covid world.

Greetings dearest Armellians, The longest day of this year (thank goodness) has just graced this earth, which means the Solar Dice are back to cast their warm glow upon us all. You will have a small chance after every completed multiplayer game to find a Summer Solstice Dice. It's important to note that you can obtain multiple sets within the event, but you are not guaranteed a drop. Summer Solstice Dice Event Drop Chance: 10% after every eligible game. Eligible Games: Multiplayer games that yeild a regular drop. Check your drop counter in the Multiplayer lobbies to see how many drops you have left for the day. Start: NOW! End: July 6th PT. Please Note: These dice are rare. If you get multiple sets, look out for your pals and share 'em round! Let light guide you to the Wyld! <3 Vix & the LoG Squad

Hi everyone! Hope you're all staying sane. It's that time again where old dice our OUT and new old dice are IN! As of next week, 12:00am Friday the 22nd of May - the Traitor's Gift collection will once again become unavailable, and The Druid's Bequest collection will cycle in! This means you have one week to finish collection 3 if you're finding 'em through play, before collection 3 is rewarded for play (and Skeeve's daily chest, of course). If you have any questions, let'em fly! Happy hunting! <3 Darcy & the LoG Squad

Howdy Folks!

<3 Darcy & The LoG Team

Quite the eclectic batch of curiosities. The Traitor's Gift Dice Collection has RETURNED to Steam! Complete games and collect these exotic cubes. In addition to this...

Double Drops are active in Armello across all platforms!

Howdy folks, Hope all is well in your neck of the woods! The dice in Armello are changing yet again, and the Traitor's Gift Collection is imminently approaching. That means you folks will only have one week to wrap up collection 2, Spoils of War, before it cycles off into the depths of Armello until further notice. The Traitor's Gift Collection will become available once again on 12:00am Monday PT on the 23rd of March. Round up all the dice you want to collect by the that time and prepare to get your dirty hands on the next collection. If you've got any questions please hit me with'em!

<3 Darcy & the LoG Squad

Stars twist in the skies above Armello and time cycles on. Complete valid games for your shot to find these wildly circular dice (is that legal?). Start: NOW! End: 8:00pm Thursday, the 30th PT Platforms: Steam, Nintendo Switch, iOS and Android How: These dice have a small chance of dropping after completing any game that yields a regular drop. If you obtain a chest from playing a game, you've got a chance that chest will come with an extra event dice. Please Note: You can obtain multiple sets within the event, but you are not guaranteed a drop. These dice are rare. If you get multiple sets, look out for your pals and share 'em around! Celebrate in the moonlight! The event has begun.

Howdy folks, I'm here to talk about is Dice! The currently active dice collection is Wyld's Bounty, but it won't be for long! The collection will be cycling forth starting January 12th so if you haven't found all of the precious cubes you've been looking for, you only have a week. At this point, the Spoils of War collection, our second ever dice collection, will cycle in. Ready yourselves and wrap up your Wyld's bounty collection, because War Chests are inbound. If you have any questions, let 'em fly. Cheers,

<3 Darcy& the LoG Squad

The chill of winter creeps into our very bones! Embrace the cold and collect The Winter Dice at your own peril.

Dearest Armellians, We only need a couple minutes of your time. The 2019 Steam Awards are here! Do you LOVE Armello? You can tell the world by nominating us for The Labour of Love Award! What to do: 1) Nominate Armello here: http://bit.ly/VoteArmello 2) Leave us a review! 3) Reviewed Armello already? Thats ok! Your review will just need a minor refresh! 3) Cross your beans for us! Nominations are open from November 26th 10am - December 3rd 10am PST. Voting will then take place from these finalists, and the winners will be announced on December 31st. Thanks for your love and support, we appreciate it immensely! Vix @ LoG

Hello and welcome! Well, well, well - would you look at the time. We threw in a few bonus day's for the last collection, but now it's time to move on. The dice collections in Armello are cycling on, so you'll find Wyld Chests after playing games (and the freebie in Skeeve's Shop too, of course). These dice, whilst being available in the form of Hero Mastery rewards, haven't been available in game since 2016. Naturally that means that a whole bunch of you may not have this full collection, so spread the good word and get into it! As such, that means that Collection 8 - Mountain's Hoard has cycled out and will unavailable until it cycles back in at some point down the line. For now, as mentioned in our previous post, this collection will be live for two months before the next collection is introduced. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to let 'em fly! Cheers, Vix @ LoG

Howdy folks and welcome! Were here today to talk about Dice Collections in Armello and what the current plan is. Grab yourself a cup of tea and lets get into it. As many of you are aware, its been some time since a new Dice Collection has landed in Armello, and that basically comes down to us prioritising other features within the game, such as our sweet, sweet Dragon friends. Right now our sights are set on bringing consoles up to speed with v2.0, The Dragon Clan and everything in between. Were making great progress on that but its a pretty large undertaking thatll use most of Armellos dev resources for the immediate future. That means we dont have a new dice collection in the immediate development pipeline, so were switching things up a little, and travelling back in time. On November 14th, Collection 8 - Mountains Hoard will rotate out and Collection 1 - Wylds Bounty will rotate in. That leaves you with TWO MORE WEEKS to wrap up any loose ends in the Mountains Hoard collection. From here we expect to strike a two month rotation cadence, so in mid-January you can expect Collection 2 to be introduced, mid-March you can expect Collection 3 and so on and so forth. As with all things, this is subject to review and revision if we make another collection. For those who have been around for quite some time, youll remember that things were a little different when this collection was active in 2016 - but rest assured the modern chest system reigns eternally supreme and will apply to older collections, including keyless chests and skin fragments.

Hey yall, For those that don't know me, I'm Woody, executive producer on Armello. First off, we recognise that v2.0 and its immediate support has been a little rough, and made worse by our lack of communication, especially towards future plans for Armello. Im here today to fill you in on some of the whys for that, and to update you all on where Armello is heading for the year, and beyond. Thisll be a lengthy post, because I want to address as much as I can. Growing Pains Working in production at LoG, Ive seen our ability to operate as a games-as-a-service studio grow and evolve all the way from early access to v2.0. Im truly proud of what weve achieved and stand behind our GaaS development cycles and methodology. That said, recently we havent met the high standards we hold ourselves to. As you may know, we've had a second project in the building for quite some time now and we are hiring and expanding. Going from a single project to a multi-project studio is one of the toughest challenges you can undertake in videogame development. Your production methodology, your company structure, even your project accounting, needs to change. However, for all our successes in scaling the studio, actually finding and hiring the right people for this exciting next phase of LoGs history has proven the single most difficult challenge. (In case you're interested, careers.leagueofgeeks.com) This has left us in a situation where for the last 6-9 months we have been under-resourced across both projects. For the new project, thats not as critical as its still years away from release. However for Armello, thats a live game requiring ongoing support, so when we feel the strain of a lack of resources, unfortunately you feel it too. Compounding that for Armello, weve also had a couple of critical Armello team members leave to pursue personal projects - they're gonna do great things! So if youre wondering why weve been slower than our usual selves to fix particular issues or provide more context as to whats happening here in the studio; thats why. The upside to all this is that we do have a very dedicated team here at the studio making Armello the best it can be, and we have a bunch of rad stuff in the pipeline. Our goal is and has always been for us to deliver the best content we can, in a healthy and sustainable way for our developers. GaaS production is a marathon, not a sprint, so when the options are crunch our team and work longer hours or delay releases and support - well always choose the latter. Its always proven better in the long term, for our studio, our team, our games, and of course, for you, our players. Hiring the right talent for our studio is always our highest priority, because its the team at LoG that makes amazing things for you. We really do appreciate you bearing with us whilst we weather the growing pains. So what do we have in the pipeline?

Armello in 2019

• Ensure AI takeover is working as intended, and make it feel less invasive for remaining players.
• Ensure Quest outcomes function correctly and speed up the process a little bit.
• Clarify the implications of Offline Mode, better communicating that Hero XP and chest drops become unavailable in this mode.
• Party Widget improvements designed to make the flow of entering a multiplayer game and grouping with friends more seamless and intuitive.
• Fix up an issue preventing players from progressing from a private lobby to a game.

Armello in 2020

- Woody

Howdy! You may or may not have noticed that the Wyld's Dawn Dice Event is LIVE! With it comes Double Drops after games too. So get in there, hook up the colourful Wyld's Dawn dice and a bunch of others in the process. It's worth noting that these are rare dice, so youre not guaranteed a drop. You can find multiple sets though, so be sure to hand them out to your pals or put 'em on the marketplace if you find them. ALSO, Armello is on sale. The base game is 50% off and all of the DLC is 30% off, so if that's up your alley get on into it.

Start: It's active NOW!

End: May 6th, 10:00 am Pacific Time

HEY folks, hope you're all well! If we haven't met, I'm Darcy and I'll be your LoG host for the day, how are the appetizers? Today we'll be serving a couple of hot juicy fixes from the codery oven straight to your plates. We've also got some known issues and workarounds for you.

• Fixed an issue where selecting 'Offline' in the introductory Privacy Statement caused significant menu/visual issues (This often made Ghor appear with 99 stats, aka the notorious Ghor99 bug)
• Resolved an issue where quest results would not correctly display the actual outcome. (showing false successes and false failures)
• Fixed an issue where pressing ESC shortly after entering options/credits submenu would cause significant visual issues.

Known Issues and Workarounds

• Players who own DLC may experience an infinite loading screen upon entering an area of the menu that requires server data (Clan Grounds, Inventory, Store, etc. etc.) This is our highest priority bug. A partial workaround for this issue is to turn all DLC off in the Steam Library. Unfortunately this means users impacted by this issue will not be able to access their DLC heroes until a fix is implemented.
• In-game land/tiles appearing blank or missing. This is impacting users who have their system language set to Turkish. A temporary workaround is to change your system language and restart the Armello client.
• Steam not Authorized appearing on game launch. This is impacting users who have their system language set to Thai. A temporary workaround is to change your system language and restart the Armello client.
• Commendations screen not functioning correctly In this patch, we've implemented additional logging/tracking to more accurately determine the issue.
• A.I not immediately taking over a disconnected/player who quits a public multiplayer game.
• Main menu text going black after returning from Multiplayer.
• Wyld Chests may not open correctly.

With v2.0, the very fibres of Armello have been woven anew...

Hi folks, Let me apologize for the confusion regarding the beta. It is now officially over as of last Friday. In all the excitement of preparation for the 2.0 release, we haven't notified you in the News section (we did tweet about it here https://twitter.com/ArmelloGame/status/1098742952736698368). tl;dr of it: - 6000+ Games completed - 200+ Bug Reports received - 2 x Mid-Beta Patches The build is now as stable as a live build! Thank you for playing and thank you for helping us improve the game! We're now moving towards 2.0, full steam (hehe) ahead!

Hello one and all!

<3 Darcy & the LoG crew

Howdy Friends,

As the schedule has been shaken up a little, I am happy to confirm today that a new build, including a shiny new Dice Collection (and a bunch of quality of life bug fixes) will be landing on Steam before 2019.

<3 Darcy @ LoG

Howdy folks!

The History of Multiplayer in Armello

• Players would timeout and be disconnected after only approx 10 seconds of lost connection. This was a limitation where Photon could not be configured to behave differently.
• It did not support future improvements to Matchmaking we had planned, such as ranked matchmaking, in a way compatible with how we wanted to implement it.
• This system had no way to block cheaters, issue bans, or prevent pirate copies of the game from playing.

• Measurement: We must be able to better measure build stability during development (testing), and in live builds (analytics)
• Automated testing: We must automate the testing process of multiplayer, so that an enormous volume of games can be played, testing all possible combinations of actions.
• Double disconnect: There were many cases where if two peers disconnected rapidly, our implementation would not handle it well. We would need to add automated tests for this case.
• Undetected by us at the time, was that the optimization of immediately executing the local players action (indicated with red arrow in previous images), was also the cause of much of the disconnect instability, due to ordering issues when switching hosts.

• After this round of patching, disconnections remained the major cause of instability, and we determined to look at this next.
• Analytics were still lacking enough detail for us to track live build stability.

• Multiple players disconnecting at the same time were still causing stability issues, which were difficult to address easily with our existing peer to peer architecture and certain game events.

• A hosting service for the servers would need to be found
• Server hosting costs would need to be evaluated. As every hour of a dedicated server costs money. We didnt want to dramatically burden our indie game with an unsustainable cost for running multiplayer.
• The server version of the game would need to be heavily optimized for CPU usage, Memory Usage, and build size. So that it could be more cheaply hosted.
• Latency for the active player would be unacceptable for some players. Additional work would need to be done to hide the latency by allowing the player to move, and revert that action if the server decided differently.

Planning for Version 2.0

• Reconnect: This is by far simpler with a Client/Server architecture. Where the Server has a complete copy of the game, which can be replicated to clients attempting to reconnect. If we are ever to support this feature, we would first need working dedicated servers.
• Resolve NMAs: We knew that the ongoing difficulty with testing and preventing NMAs would be much simpler in a client/server architecture. In particular, having a dedicated server does away with the problem of a host disconnecting completely.

• Setting up the backend technology to let us easily upload new builds of the server into the cloud. (PlayFab)
• Developing optimizing builds of Armello to be hosted in the cloud as a server.
• Improving disconnect to take advantage of the stable dedicated server.
• Repurposing our automated testing, to be testing hundreds of cloud hosted games a day, and to pressure test the cloud hosting service.
• Improving client side movement actions to hide latency
• Fixing a whole bunch more NMAs along the way.

Heya folks! Firstly, have some double drops to celebrate Armello's launch on iOS! But more importantly, If you're the kinda person who likes to get their bug-lovin' mitts on pre-release builds then listen up! We've just turned on the Beta branch for the March update and you can jump on in right now. Library > Right click Armello > Properties > Betas > Select "beta" from drop down menu Now, you should obviously be going into this Beta with full expectations that this is an unfinished, pre-release build. It will not be perfect. Far from it. Don't worry though, we're running this thing so we can iron out any kinks. So, please submit your bug reports! If you're submitting them on the forum or via email please label them with "beta". Here's a thread on how to report bugs. Here's what you need to know:

• The beta will be live from now until Monday the 19th of March PT.
• This build is gonna be a little buggy. So please, strap in, and be patient with the state of the build.
• Make sure to send those bug reports through! When you do, please tag 'em with "BETA"
• The next Novella and Chest Collection will not be available until the full release.
• Drops will work in the same way as the live build, so Double Drops are active in the Beta branch too!
• Queue times may be a little longer, as this beta is purely an optional opt-in situation.
• You're all the best.

armello.com/updates

Greetings one and all!

Keyless chests

• From this collection onwards, only Chests will drop and they do not require a key to open.
• Chests are attainable through Private AND Public Multiplayer games from now on.
• After Multiplayer Games, you will be granted a Chest up to your daily drop counter.
• NO MORE COIN FLIP. We killed the coin. It's dead. Good riddance.
• Faster, reliable, guaranteed loot action. As you can just open them by themselves, you earn dice twice as fast.
• All previous collections will remain as they were, keys and chests intact.

Free daily chest

• Navigate to Skeeve's Shop daily to pick up a Chest on the house!
• This Chest doesn't count towards your daily drop counter.

Daily drop counter

• We've always had a daily drop limit, and now it's visible in the Multiplayer lobby.
• Daily drop limit revised to 3, down from a previous 6. So essentially the same amount of daily loot.
• A timer is visible to display how much time you have before your chest drops replenish.

Chest Transparency

• From Skeeve's Curiosities onwards, the content drop rates relevant to the chest will be openly displayed in Skeeve's Shop.
• Please note that these odds do not necessarily apply to previous collections.

A new build is live and the Lunar Dice are dropping once again!

Hi everyone! Lisy here, producer at LoG. The highest pillar of our production process here at LoG is stability. Build stability takes precedence and priority over every single decision we make at LoG. And, yep! You’re not imagining things, the February update of Armello’s Road to 2.0 is *very* unstable. We came in to see this this morning…
And then, upon further investigation, this...
Since releasing the February update we’ve seen a sharp increase of NMA’s (instances when the game does not crash, but “No More Actions” are possible) and Crashes affecting around 16% of games played. This is something we’re taking very seriously and obviously the entire team is truly devastated about it. With stability being LoG’s highest pillar, we have decided to temporarily roll back Armello to v1.9.2. What you need to know (The TL:DR):

• We have rolled the February update back to v1.9.2 ‘From Below’.
• We’ll be working to re-release the February update over the upcoming week. We’ve shifted Karl (lead developer) and Tom (tech director) onto this and only this and QA internal resources will be tripled until the update is out again.
• A community testing round will be held when the build is ready.
• The Lunar Dice event is currently suspended, but will return within the next 3 days.
• As a result of this, Lunar Dice assets have been removed from the game.
• They will remain in your inventories and return as soon as the event is live again.
• Upon its return, we will extend the Lunar Dice event to account for any down time (and then some!).
• As a gesture of goodwill, we will also activate double drops for the entirety of the Lunar Dice Event.

• Conduct a post-mortem of our QA and production processes to understand what learnings there are for future releases.
• Analysing each NMA/crash and refining our manual and automated test cases to be able to identify these particular bugs.
• Redesigning our community testing methods to enable a greater diversity of machines, players and network environments, so that we can employ community testing rounds for every release with maximum efficiency and effectiveness.
• Armello will never be updated again. (lol, jk. It’s gonna be updated a LOT.)

Greetings dearest Armellians,

Hero, welcome to The Road to 2.0.

The Super Blue Blood Moon approaches, and Armello will bathe in it's mysterious power. For the first time in Armello history, players will receive three coin flips instead of one after Public Multiplayer games for 24 hours only. Event start time: Midnight, as the clock rolls over to the 31st of January. (7:00pm 31/01 AEST) Event end time: Midnight, as the clock rolls over to the 1st of February. Platforms: This is a Steam only event. Game modes: Public Multiplayer only. You must engage with the matchmaking services for the drops to apply. As far as Earth is concerned, the very rare Super Blue Blood Moon will be visible on the night of the 31st in certain parts of the world. This is a combination of three lunar events, a super moon, a blue moon, and a lunar eclipse resulting in a blood moon. As far as Armello is concerned, loot will flow freely. Please be mindful that there is an internal drop limit designed to halt farmers attempting to exploit our Steam Inventory items. If you play a bunch, you may exhaust your drops for the day.

Greetings everyone! As you definitely know by now, v1.9 From Below dropped on Steam and it's packed with juicy new features. Make sure that Armello is all up to date and get in there! I'll run through the major elements of this update, but if you're a human that prefers to wade through the nuts and bolts of it all, you can check the patch notes out here.
For completing each episode of the introductory prologue, a new sets of Clan Dice will be awarded, resulting in a total of four - one for each clan! For players that have completed this, the skins will be automatically awarded when you log in! Read all about it here.
We’ve been refining Fury Mode as a House Rule since the launch of it in v1.8 and we're finally prepared to give it the love it deserves. When Fury Friday is active, games started through Public Multiplayer will have the Fury Mode House Rule active and the King will have one less health. This will mean quick, action packed Armello experiences to mix things up in the multiplayer queue. More details here!
You will now be able to hit a maximum level of 100! As such, four new glorious frames have been implemented to convey your success in the multiplayer environment. Get in there, play some games and uncover some new frames! A preview of these frames can be found here.
In v1.8, The King got a lot of love in regard to his animations and textures, detailing his descent into madness as the game progresses. Now, the world will plunge into darkness with him. Throughout the duration of the game, the following effects will be introduced.

• Palace texture will progressively degrade
• Rot vines will progressively creep outward from the palace
• Ravens will amass above the palace over time
• A dark storm will brew above the palace over time

<3 Darcy and the LoG team

Hi all, Another Hotfix has been cooked up for all you fine Armellians!

This will disable all videos and allow you to enter the game. We are still investigating a proper fix for this issue.

Today is the big day! v1.5 Art of Treason is out, live and playable right now and we’re excited. This is also the big day that the Seasons Board Skins Pack becomes available for purchase, so please check that out. If that wasn't enough, Armello is on sale starting right now at 30% off which is the deepest discount we've ever done. It's the perfect time to spread the good word and get your pals on board. Seriously, this is an enormous update. I’m going to lay out some of the features for you in case you missed our rolling feature reveals throughout the week. This update has a huuuuge list of rad additions so you can check out the patch notes here, if that’s your thing. SO let’s get started!
Check the full New Cards feature announcement here. Five new cards have landed in the world of Armello. This set of cards will feature one new Follower and four new Trickery cards. Muster all of your cunning, venture forth and master these cards.

Check the full UX Improvements feature announcement here. Between the dawn summary panel, upgraded pact communications, updated end-game screen, a new multiplayer lobby, inventory updates and more - there are a HUGE amount of tweaks that landed in v1.5. Get in there and experience the glory!

Check the full Scaling Bounty feature announcement here. Each dawn while a Hero has a Bounty on their head their Level of Bounty will increase. This represents the that the target of interest is still at large and the King’s patience is wearing thin, additionally we’ve changed the way the rewards are issued with each Bounty level and they multiply with each increase in level like this; Level 1 – ‘Wanted’ reward is 1 Prestige and 2 Gold Level 2 – ‘Fugitive’ reward is 2 Prestige and 4 Gold Level 3 – ‘Traitor’ reward is 3 Prestige and 6 Gold

Check the full Multiplayer Progression feature announcement here. This is a big one. Whether joining the public queue or playing private games with your pals, there's something here for you. After participating in online multiplayer games (whether public or private), players can ascend in level, unlocking new portraits, frames, and increasing the skill level of players you're matched with online.

Last but not least, the King has found his voice. Throughout the game, the King will now audibly banter with and taunt heroes. He may or may not laugh at you if you fail his perils.
And there we have it! Please let us know what you think over on Twitter and Facebook. Thanks for being such a rad community. See you in the Multiplayer queue!

<3 Darcy and the LoG Team

“Hand-carved from the bones of the condemned, these dice are a popular mainstay with Gallows’ Eve revelers."

So without further ado...

Hello Armellians! Welcome to the new era that is Collection 2, Spoils of War. Along with this fresh new dice collection we’ve actually added two brand spanking new cards fresh out of the dev-kitchen. Now, when searching for your perfect gear, you may just stumble across an Iron Pike (Item) or a Silver Lance (Treasure). Also, the previous update, v1.4 Battle Tides, brought forth the Poison and Reflect dice modifiers, along with a few broader changes to the combat mechanics. These additions and tweaks had a significant impact on many equippable item cards. In this update, we’ve swept through and made some adjustments to ensure your favourite equippables remain fun and have a place in Armello’s ecosystem. We really hope you dig all of these changes. Soar like eagles.

Features and Changes

• Spoils of War chests and keys will now drop at the end of Public Multiplayer games instead of the Wyld chests and keys.
• These chests and keys will also be available for purchase through our Steam Item Store for US$1.49 each. You can access this via Inventory or our Steam store page.
• Chests and keys will still be tradable and marketable on the Steam marketplace.
• You can not transmogrify across collections e.g. three Wyld dice and two Spoils of War dice.

New Cards

• Silver Lance (Treasure): In Battle, +1 Sword with Pierce. On Plains, gain an additional +1 Sword with Pierce.
• Iron Pike (Item): In Battle, when Attacking, first rolled Sword gains Pierce; when Defending Reflect.

Card Changes

• Battle Axe (Item): Gold cost reduced to 1 Gold.
• Hand Cannons (Treasure): In Battle, first 2 burned Suns are Piercing Attacks.
• Long Bow (Item): In Battle, first burned Moon is a Pierce.
• Oak Spear (Item): In Battle, +1 Sword and when defending +1 bonus Sword.

• Snake Venom (Item): In Battle, until end of next turn, Burn a Rot to make all rolled Swords gain Poison.

Bug Fixes

Known Issues

• Rare NMA from disconnecting players in multiplayer games.

I'm excited to announce the second collection of Dice skins landing in Armello... The Spoils of War Collection. This collection cycles in Wednesday, the 17th of August (PT), and leading up to the launch we'll be teasing dice from the collection across our social channels. Be sure to follow us on Twitter and Facebook to get the hot scoops! We'll also collate them within this post, so check back every now and then. That being said, the Wyld's Bounty collection will simultaneously cycle out, meaning that the Wyld Keys and Wyld Chests will no longer drop from Public Multiplayer games. In their place you will find the sturdy War Chests and the rugged War Key. So, seize your last few days with the Wyld's Bounty collection and brace yourselves for Spoils of War. <3 Darcy & the LoG Team

Greetings Armellians! I come bearing glorious news. For this weekend, starting Friday the 29th of July, all coin tosses will instead be TWO coin tosses, meaning you will collect double the loot from playing Public Multiplayer games of Armello. Other than time, there are no limitations on this. Go crazy, play all weekend and you'll be rolling in dice. "But why?!" - you ask. Well, the current Dice Collection is cycling out soon, so Wyld Keys and Wyld Chests will stop dropping. In their place, the shiny new Collection will be introduced. We want to give everyone a final chance to dig deep. More details about this Collection and the timeframe associated with it will come very soon. So, for the time being soar like eagles and spread the good word about the Double Dip weekend! Cheers, <3 Darcy & the LoG team

Greetings to you, best community in the world! The time is nigh, as v1.4 Battle Tides has just landed on Steam! This is our fourth, free, major update and it’s packed to the brim with glorious features and tweaks. I’m going to run through the major features, but you can take a look at every single nut and bolt in the patch notes, here. Let’s launch into the features that v1.4 Battle Tides brings.
Five new glorious cards will be gracing Armello. These are primarily focused on further empowering the player to make tactical decisions, whether it comes to leaving your mark in combat or protecting your settlements.
Art and Animation for Poison Taster by Jerome Jacinto

• Poison Taster (Follower): Removes Poison and gives immunity while Recruited.
• Poisoned Dagger (Item): In Battle, First Burned Rot Card is a Poisoned Attack.
• Hero’s Shield (Treasure): In Battle, +1 Reflecting Shield
• Snake Venom (Consumable): (Play to) Creature; In Battle, first rolled Rot counts as a Poison Attack until end of next turn.
• Palisade Walls (Trickery): (Play on) Settlement; Settlement is Fortified until Terrorised, or until owner changes. SFX audio to support this.

Ghor, along with Magna, Sargon and Elyssia will arrive in Armello soon. Ghor's unique Hero power causes him to transform when on Forest tiles, granting him peculiar abilities. When amongst the trees, the Wyld courses through Ghor allowing him to cast Spells for less, and to any Forest Tile on the map. Ghor is the last hero to be revealed for the upcoming DLC. Keep your ear to the ground, as maybe the upcoming DLC holds a little more than just Heroes.

Hey folks! I come bearing news on a new set of mythical Dice. As you've probably seen, we've been streaming a bunch and we're just about to launch our new Subscription program for the League of Geeks Twitch page. One of the many perks of Subscribing to our Twitch Channel is unlocking these glorious cubes! This will all go live at 5:00pm Friday PT. Also, don't forget to stop by chat and say hey! Cheers, <3 Darcy and the LoG team

Magna, along with Sargon, Elyssia and one more mysterious hero will arrive in Armello soon. Magna is the leader of the wolf clan's Iron Guard, elite shieldmaidens sworn to uphold the integrity of the clan. Through a combination of prowess and pure force, she reflects hits in combat back to her opponent by burning Shield symbols. Launching a lazy strike on Magna may just prove fatal. One peculiar Hero is yet to step forward, who is yet to be seen?

HEY ARMELLO FAMILY! An extra hot, hotfix is here, straight out of the codery oven. Thanks to everyone for submitting their detailed logs and emails, you’re all beautiful butterflies. Here’s the latest fixes that have made it into Armello! If you’re an individual that is experiencing any Disconnects in multiplayer games we’d like you (the person who disconnected) to submit your logs (even if you don’t think you’ve experienced a bug), as we are investigating some bugs that we are unable to reproduce in the studio. Also thanks to Steam user: Anko we’ve been notified that anti-virus programs including and similar to AVG are causing conflicts with Armello. If you are experiencing any crashes or performance issues, we recommend checking that your Anti-Virus programs have Armello as an exception OR try disabling them all together for the interim. Features

• We’ve expanded the Regions in which a game will search for on our Steam multiplayer platform.

• Continuing Singleplayer saved games should now work as intended.
• Fixed issues where certain buttons weren’t displaying when using Family Share.
• Fixed a rare NMA caused when a player steals another player's Card.
• Fixed a rare NMA caused by a player opening their Rumour Panel while the King is playing Perils during the night phase.
• Fixed a rare NMA happening right after the King’s death but before the Victory/Defeat screen.
• Fixed a bug where the “Next” button wouldn’t appear in Offline Singleplayer games.
• Fixed a bug when going to the Inventory Screen does not appear and causes an NMA.

HEAR YE, HEAR YE! FOR ONE WEEKEND ONLY, ADVENTURERS WILL RECEIVE DOUBLE THE TREASURE FOR THEIR EFFORTS! ONE COIN FLIP?! TO THAT WE SAY NAY! THERE SHALL BE TWO COIN FLIPS! THIS SPECTACLE WILL BEGIN FRIDAY THE 27TH OF MAY (PT)! SPREAD THE GOOD WORD AND PRAISE THE WYLD!

Sargon, along with Elyssia and two other exciting new heroes will arrive in Armello soon. Sargon's unique Hero ability allows him to see through the veil and caress the strings of fate. During the draw phase, all cards are face up. Sargon can easily pluck the most valuable cards that appear, leaving other weary adventurers to fend for what remains. Two Heroes are yet to be revealed, what powers are yet to be seen?

Hey Armello Family! Lock & Key v1.3 has been unlocked on Steam! This is our third, free, major update and we are really excited for you to all dive into it. If you're the type of person who likes to touch base with the technical points, we got you. Here are the full patch notes for Lock & Key. For our beautiful pals who are patiently waiting for this update to land on PS4 and DRM-Free services, v1.3 will land on these platforms soon - hold tight for more info. But for now, let’s sink our teeth into the major features of this patch.
All of your heart's desires can be found in the right chest. From v1.3 onward, as a reward for participating in public multiplayer games (any game where you've queued to find players), players may be awarded either a Chest or Key upon completing a game. When unlocked, these chests yield glorious and bountiful treasures in the form of dice skins.

The first wave of Dice Skins featured in v1.3 are the Wyld's Bounty Collection. This will contain ten (10) new sets of varying rarity that players can hunt for. These dice skins can be traded or sold through the Steam Marketplace and can also be transmogrified to obtain skins of higher rarities. Be sure to read all about the ins and outs of this exciting new system in detail here!

That's right! Followers now cost ZERO gold to equip! For this one, League of Geeks Director and design guru, Blake Mizzi has provided his insight on the reasons behind the change. Here's what he had to say; "We decided to make Followers in Armello, which cost Gold, free in this latest update. Some Followers will still credit the player with Rot, but by far the majority are now free. We did this as a response to the reduced flow of Followers occurring in games compared to Treasures (which are effectively free). Gold is a resource that is stretched across many activities in Armello, from playing Trickery Cards, to equipping Items and playing consumables. Having Followers also require this resource was heavily hampering their use. Like Treasures we’re going to maintain the Rot gain which help us to empower, balance and theme these very special cards. We’d much rather see these awesome little characters join you on your quest for the throne more often and allow more players to mix their abilities in interesting ways. After all you are a hero seeking the throne of Armello, journeying across the land, venturing into a dark dungeons or completing a Quest is enough to earn their favour and loyalty."

From the beginning of time, The Mad King House Rule was meant to be part of the core rule set, and now it is! As were the effects of the House Rule, The King ensures that there are at least four (4) perils on the board every dusk. If there are less, The King plays his own to "top up" the peril quota. This may seem like a minor adjustment but your ventures will definitely feel more perilous. Naturally, this has a few implications on House Rules. Now, in Custom Games, players can turn this rule off or turn it up to "Madder King". This will make The King plunge further into insanity and ensures that there are at least eight (8) perils on the board at every dusk.
Well, that's a wrap! If you're excited like I am, I'll probably see you in the public queue! Be sure to tune into our big launch Twitch stream at 6:00pm Pacific Time to check the build in action! There may even be a sneaky giveaway or two! Remember to let us know what you think on Twitter, Facebook and the forums (Steam & LoG)! If you like Armello and want to help us out, positive reviews on Steam go a really long way in making us feel warm and fuzzy, along with increasing our overall visibility.” Happy dice hunting! <3 Darcy and the LoG Crew

Hey there beautiful people! The latest major update for Armello, v1.3 Lock & Key is now live on Steam! We're incredibly proud of Lock & Key, there's a number of new features, various improvements and a tonne of bug fixes and polish, but the biggest news is our full integration of Steam Inventory into the game. So let’s talk about that.
As of v1.3, as a reward for participating in public multiplayer games (any game where you've queued to find players), players may be awarded either a Chest or Key upon completing a game and returning to the Main Menu. Chests and Keys are released in 'Collections' and each Collection features approx. ten (10) unique dice across four rarities; Common, Uncommon, Rare, and Epic. Players can unlock Chests using Keys of the same Collection (i.e., to unlock this collection's 'Wyld Chest', you’ll need a 'Wyld Key'), and upon doing so will be rewarded with a random die from that Collection. Obviously the higher the rarity the lower the chance they’ll drop.
Should you find yourself with numerous dice of the same rarity and from the same collection, you can sacrifice five (5) of them in exchange for a random die of the next highest rarity, from that same collection. You can access the transmogrification process via the Inventory menu by selecting a die that has the tag 'Transmogrifiable'. Note: Only dice from seasonal Collections can be transmogrified.
Collections are seasonal, so new Collections will be released periodically. With each new Collection you can expect to see a new Chest and Key set, as well as ten (10) or more new dice. When a new Collection is released, it will replace the previous one. So Chests and Keys from the previous Collection will no longer drop after multiplayer games. However, you will of course still be able to purchase Chests, Keys and Dice from that Collection on the Steam Community Marketplace. Which brings us to…
Got a bunch of dice? Had two of the same dice drop in a row? Or just wanna get your hands on that Epic die asap? The Steam Community Marketplace is your friend. Dice, Chests and Keys from seasonal Collections are all fully tradable and marketable on the Steam Community Marketplace. So you can trade and sell the stuff you’ve collected, and of course buy anything you need from other Armellians. . Additionally, there’s full Marketplace integration within Armello so you can launch the Marketplace from within Armello wherever that need may arise. To grab a missing key. To sell that particular die. Etc.
As is tradition for release days, Darcy and I will be doing a reveal stream tomorrow where we play the build and roll through all the features. In addition to this, we’ll be giving away Keys for the current Collection on the stream. And depending on its success may potentially continue this trend into the future. So if you're looking for Keys, you may want to tune in to our stream tomorrow at twitch.tv/leagueofgeeks. Darcy will anounce the specific stream time tomorrow.
Lastly... here's this Collection's Epic (rarest!) dice. The Ancients' Gambit Dice.
This is the big one, El Capo, the Ichiban, the White Unicorn if you must. Get ready to get collectin'! <3 Trent & the LoG Crew

[img=https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Cgcnm7AUYAANUaX.jpg:large] Elyssia, along with three other incredible heroes, will be landing in Armello soon. Elyssia's unique Hero ability allows her to fortify any Settlement she ends her turn on by erecting walls. These structures double the amount of action points required for other Heroes to enter the tile, but on these fortified Settlements Elyssia gains the same defensive bonus granted by scaling a Mountain. What could the other heroes have in store? Cheers, <3 Darcy & The LoG Crew

Greetings friends! Firstly, we want to wish you all a very happy holidays! We hope you all kick back and relax, play games and eat a whole bunch of food. We're excited and a lil festive right now because a cool little update just went live on Steam! This has a few awesome presents and introduces some new background infrastructure, opening doors for sweet, sweet future content. You may notice a few tweaks such as the News Feed on the main menu, which will keep you up to date with all things Armello! The full patch notes can be found here.
WARNING: These glorious Dice are absurdly frosty. When rolled, the outcome can be conservatively described as an ice explosion. Seriously though, whether you're overcoming chilly perils or cutting down enemies with a frigid blade, these are sure to bring on Winter's bite.
These dice are awarded by playing public multiplayer games on Steam between the 21st and the 31st of December (PST). Be sure to jump on and play during this period for your chance to score a set!

As such, over the holiday period we'll of course be around if anything catches on fire and we'll do our best to stay active online, but you can expect to hear less from us through all channels until the second week of January. We'll be chillin with our families on the golden sands of Australia's beautiful beaches.
However, as with everything LoG, there is always a JUICY CATCH! The regular stream schedule will come be switched out for our super special holiday stream schedule! We've got a couple of huge broadcasts scheduled, so if you're floating around during the holidays, tune in and say hi! See you all in Armello! <3 Darcy and the LoG Crew
