Hello Barony fans! I'd like to give you a taste of what's in the works. Development Update Right now our biggest priority is the integration of Steam multiplayer features. There's a lot of fun to be had with Barony's multiplayer features as-is, but we (maybe as much as you!) would love a more streamlined multiplayer experience. Our update work should make it easier and more fun than ever to play Barony co-operatively with your friends. Due to the challenge of integrating the Steam systems into the game, we can't say exactly when this update will be coming down the pipe. The documentation isn't the best and our homecooked engine isn't exactly standard when it comes to this kind of integration! But trust that we feel strongly about these features and are working tirelessly to upgrade the game for you. In addition to planning and groundwork on a future content update, we are always on the lookout for occasional bugs you guys are experiencing, and bugfixes are in the works as well. Art Update The art overhaul is making great progress. If you frequent the forums you may already know that we've posted several screenshots of several tilesets using overhauled textures here. We've completed the first pass on all of the level art. Yay! But before we ship this update do you, we're taking more steps to add variety to tilesets, which means we have a few more textures to add to the game, and that we need to update all the randomizable level pieces so that these textures actually show up in the game in a way that makes it all look better. Also, thanks to developer BlackFlux, the voxel art update is well underway. A greatly streamlined voxel art pipeline has made creating new, improved voxel modes easier than ever. The side benefit of this is that modders will also have a much easier time modding Barony! I encourage you to check out VoxelShop here. Replacing a lot of the voxel art is the second step in the overhaul and we're already well on our way through it. Turning Wheel Update We're currently in the middle of a locational transition (AKA moving!). The result is that a few of our team members will be working much more closely, facilitating collaboration and likely faster patch development process in the future. Thanks for your support and dedication! Stay tuned, more is coming on the horizon. - Josiah

The Story So Far
Barony tells the story of an undead lich named Baron Herx, who terrorized the town of Hamlet in a previous life and is now holding out in a vast subterranean complex known as the Devil's Bastion. As a single hero or a group of adventurers, it is your mission to descend the depths of his abode, confront him in his hellish lair, and destroy him forever. Whether you will simply meet your doom in the dungeons as many have before you or rise to victory against the Baron and his hellspawn is ultimately up to you.
