The Forest Beckons: Black Forest Launches into 2.0 Sept. 25th!

Greetings, brave villagers and survivors of the Black Forest! It's been a long, treacherous journey through the darkness of Early Access, but the time has finally come. I am thrilled to announce that Black Forest is stepping out of the shadows and into the light of its full 2.0 release! Prepare yourselves for a harrowing experience like no other, where danger, death, and despair are your constant companions. If you haven't been keeping tabs on the project, or just tried it out somewhere along the way, below is a quick recap of what Ive added to the game during Early Access. If youre curious to see all of the updates we have done through EA you can look back through the NEWS section here on steam! New Additions in Early Access:

Expanded from 2 maps to 13 maps - and from one difficulty level to four, for a total of 41 playable levels!
More dangers, 15 monsters to meet instead of 2 - and also added unique behaviours to the various monster types, background information and guards to defend against them!
So many new buildings - when we started this journey two years ago, we had a handful of basic buildings. Now we have workshops, four types of walls, four types of fields, various animal pens and decorations.

The most recent additions, coming to you with the 2.0 release on the 25th:

Monster Discovery Panel: Uncover the secrets of the forest with the all-new Monster Discovery Panel. Dive deep into the lore of the creatures that haunt your village.
Exclusive Castle Level: Prepare for a new and exclusive castle level that will test your survival skills like never before. Can you withstand the horrors that lurk within?
Onion Field: Tend to your onion field - small, slow-growing, and undemanding. A valuable addition to your resources.
Banner Decoration: Customize your village with the new Banner Decoration. Make your mark on the Black Forest and claim it as your own.
Personalize Your Banner: Once you've discovered a certain number of monsters, you can upload your own image and choose your own colors for the banner. Show off your unique style as you lead your village to survival.

Gameplay Changes:

Rebuilding Walls and Gates: Walls and gates can now be rebuilt in place by choosing the repair option, even if they have been destroyed. Reclaim your defenses and fortify your village.
Unlockable Difficulties: To truly test your mettle, harder difficulties such as Hard and Doomed must now be unlocked by conquering easier maps first. The forest demands a greater challenge.
New Icons: A fresh look with new icons that enhance your gaming experience.

Plus, as always, lots of bugfixes. As we take this momentous step into the 2.0 release, I kindly ask those who have spent time playing Black Forest to consider leaving a Steam review. Your reviews are invaluable to me as solo indie game developer, helping me reach more players and continue to improve the game. Thank you for being a part of the Black Forest community. I can't wait for you to dive into the darkness once again and face the challenges that await in Black Forest 2.0. Your village's fate is in your hands, and together, we will rise to the challenge. Stay vigilant, stay determined, and most importantly, stay alive. The Black Forest beckons and your destiny awaits. Tom (Black Forest Developer)

Black Forest is a turn-based multiplayer game about cooperation and betrayl. A strategy, resource-management game about survival. It is set in the forest of the same name in medieval Germany. It is a casual game, meaning that you will spend anywhere from a few minutes to maybe half an hour on it per day.

In the game, each player controls one family in a village that is located deep in the forest. Everyone tries to survive the wolves, bears and worse that come at night. Plant and harvest, gather and build, cooperate and betray. Survive as a community, but do not forget about yourself. Try to survive the coming winter to win the game. Or simply be the last survivor to gain a personal victory.

The core element of the game is cooperation and its limits. At some point, you have to think of yourself first. If your community is strong, others will help you. But the forest will sooner or later overwhelm you all - when will cooperation break down? Will people betray openly, or trick? Is that proposal a trick maybe, or really the best? What role will common ground play? Does the village provide shelter for those who lost their homes? Do you share resources or keep them private? All of these and many other questions will be asked and answered in every game.
