Hey everyone,
We hope you spent a wonderful Valentine's day with your loved ones, yesterday!
As we've said before, we're focusing on Quality of Life improvements for Castle Story in the short term; making building easier, adjusting certain mechanics that may be less fun for newer players, etc.
Today's update is a good window into that endeavor. Here are all the changes:
Bricktrons can now build three layers of height without needing stairs. This should make building considerably easier and eliminates the need for some more complex maneuvers previously needed to get around certain building restrictions.
Rubble and loose resources on the ground no longer merge back into little mounds. They now just disappear into the ground, without creating bumps. While this was originally a cool sounding idea, we've come to realise with time that it wasn't ideal when it came to building cool looking castles - constantly having to clean up and flatten terrain to keep it looking tidy, or even keep walls or dynamic structures usable, wasn't fun.
Corruptrons will no longer attack quarries or tunnels' stairs and player-made stairs are now considerably lower in the list of priorities of things Corruptrons want to murder with their little gravelly hands!
Fixed an issue where Bricktrons would seemingly randomly jump off to their death. We hired a psychiatrist and they talked their problems through. We're good now.
Fixed an issue where "quit to menu" wouldn't work for clients in a multiplayer game (and it would break the scoreboard).
Enjoy this little update and keep the suggestions coming. :)

Castle Story - OST
Your goal will be to explore a vast landscape full of mysteries and dangers, and defend your castle against onslaughts of hostile creatures and possibly other players.
The world of Castle Story takes place on flying islands, high above an infinite ocean. The islands are made of voxels, cubes made of various elements, which means you can dig, carve and build anything you can imagine in the landscape. Digging underground to gather resources, stacking bricks on top of each other to build a wall or even tunnelling through a mountain is all possible and even necessary to keep your Bricktrons safe.
Carefully designing your castle not only requires creativity and imagination, but thanks to pathfinding AI and physics simulations, Castle Story has layers of strategy and depth on top of an otherwise free-form sandbox experience.
Castle Story will be released for Windows & Mac (with possible Linux support once Unity4 is released).
Key Features
- Build any structure you can imagine! Using 2x1 blocks, create structures that are not only good-looking, but also functional. Your Bricktrons need to be able to navigate your castle to build it and to keep the monsters out!
- Physics! Watch a tower crumble to the ground realistically when its foundations can no longer support it. The entire world obeys to the laws of physics which means that you need to build cleverly so your castle can withstand attacks from projectiles and explosives.
- Sandbox! Build a huge sprawling fortress, a single impenetrable bunker or a network of underground tunnels. The choice is yours. Castle Story rewards imagination and ingenuity.
- Strategy! Command your Bricktrons as they build your castle brick by brick. Manage the way they work, what resources they gather, and the places they explore. Use your resources to build weapons and armor for your Bricktrons and all kinds of upgrades for your castle.
- Combat! Using shields, swords, bows and lots more, your Bricktrons can defend themselves against the hostile creatures inhabiting the world of Castle Story. Lead your Bricktrons through tough fights, and use your wits to gain an advantage. You can even build catapults to rain destruction on your foes!
- Magic! The world of Castle Story is permeated with all kinds of magic. Discover resources with magical auras and learn to mix them to create effects. Explore strange places and find mysterious artifacts left behind by unknown civilizations.
