Dieselpunk Wars Patch 1.0.2. - bugfixes and Endless Mode!
Hello, dieselpunk constructors!
It's time for a major update to Dieselpunk Wars!
Now you'll be able to play Endless Mode - the mode where you get to fight waves of increasingly powerful enemies. Do you want to taste dieselpunk survival? Here it comes!
We also added new parts and lots of bugfixes. Further information below.
Improvements and bug fixes
-> Added the Endless Mode! We're proud to introduce our fourth game mode to Dieselpunk Wars! This new game mode will let you face waves of progressively tougher enemies. You can fight on any of the four maps! After defeating each wave, your build limit will increase and you will have a chance to upgrade your vehicle with new, random parts. Give this new mode a try and let us know what your high score is!
-> Added 15 new parts! You can now create new vehicles using 2 new decorative modules, design new wing setups with 10 more wing parts, make a more aerodynamic vessel with a new hull block, and power your airships and airplanes with 2 new, more powerful propellers! You can check the full list of new parts below;
💥 Improved flying physics, airplanes should now be more stable and wing setup should have a greater impact on how well a vehicle behaves in the air; 💥 Activating field repairs (backspace key by default) will now slightly move your vehicle in the direction you're pointing at, which should help when you get stuck; 💥 Skill Tree and Block Selection Window popouts should no longer display after you dismiss them; 💥 You can now assign weapon groups to numeric keypad; 💥 Fixed the reversed control layout for piston modules; 💥 Gyroscopes should now operate on 100% of their power by default; 💥 Fixed a rare bug, which caused vehicles to flip after activating field repairs; 💥 Added a new, more intuitive camera mode for the Build Mode! You can activate this alternative camera mode by pressing the "/" button while you're in Build Mode. This new camera mode has different controls. You can move your camera around your vehicle by holding the right mouse button and moving your mouse, you can also use the WASD keys for the same effect. The camera will always stay focused on your vehicle.

It doesn't generate as much heat as the bigger version and it should be perfect for making those tight maneuvers!

We know it’s a bit unexpected, but we decided to release Dieselpunk Wars in Early Access. It is a very complex game, with advanced physics simulation. Due to the game's sandbox nature, testing all possible interactions proved impossible and we require player feedback to properly polish our game. We will continue to work on Dieselpunk Wars with the feedback we receive from our players and ensure that it is an enjoyable experience for everyone, free of any bugs. Additionally, player feedback will help us fine-tune the balance of the game.
Early Access shouldn't take long, since Dieselpunk Wars is mostly complete, with all planned parts, a full campaign, and other playable modes. As such, we believe that at most 6 months is enough to finish the game and make all necessary adjustments, based on player feedback.
A full game will be more polished, thanks to the players' feedback. It will have better performance, be more stable, and easier to get into for new players. We will also improve the physics model in the game, to provide for a more satisfying driving mechanic. AI will be tweaked to behave more naturally in different situations. Game balance will be adjusted to ensure that the game difficulty is just right. And we will even add some extra features, such as an Endless Mode, where you fight progressively tougher waves of enemies!
Even though we didn’t reach the Community Challenge goals, we decided to give you a 10% Launch Discount to express our gratitude for your continuous support throughout the development! Additionally, thanks to PlayWay, we can offer you a 15% LOYALTY DISCOUNT, if you already own one of the titles from our friends. The Loyalty Discount will merge with the Launch Discount ;)
Dieselpunk Wars Loyalty Discount will last for 7 days after the release and will be available after logging in with your Steam account on which you own at least one of the games from the image above.
So, without further ado, play our game and don’t forget to share with us your opinion! Community feedback is the reason why we decided to go for Early Access. We will gather players' feedback, fix any issues, and make necessary balance changes. Thanks to the Steam Workshop integration, we will be able to download more player-made vehicles and use them for internal testing to recreate and fix rare bugs. In the end, we’re making Dieselpunk Wars for YOU! :)
One more week left until the Dieselpunk Wars launch! We think this is the best moment to thank all of you - our great community and especially those who supported us during our Kickstarter campaign. You are amazing!
But we believe we can still do more to increase the popularity of our project! You can support us in many ways.
Add Dieselpunk Wars to your wishlist - we are a small indie team, so even the tiniest things are essential for us. Every new addition to wishlist will improve our visibility on Steam!
But there’s even more! YOU can now decide how big the launch discount on Dieselpunk Wars will be! Yep, we’re not kidding! To celebrate the release, we prepared a small community challenge. Check out our 3 goals below:
5% discount? 10%? Or even 15%? It’s up to you! All you need to do is add Dieselpunk Wars to your wishlist (invite your friends, family or even your greatest enemies to do that as well!) and join our Steam Community Group.
To join the Group, you need to choose “Community Hub” on Dieselpunk Wars store page.

Prepare for combat with an advanced destruction simulation, where bullets can bounce off the armor and vehicles can be cut in half!
So, without further ado - feel free to test your skills as a constructor and designer. And shoot down some enemies 💥
Try the Dieselpunk Wars demo during The Steam Game Festival - Autumn Edition!
There is lots of news coming and we hope you’ll be as excited about them as we are!
We couldn’t be more happy, observing how much fun it is for you to build your own vehicles and check their possibilities on the battlefield. Seeing how creative you are and how unpredictable your machines can be, we’ve decided to organize a contest that will select the best builder in Dieselpunk Wars Prologue!
The rules
Main theme of the contest is World War I and II, so your creation must be inspired by those eras. Your vehicle must be able to move and defeat any of the default machines in the game.
Here’s how to enter:
💥 Share screenshots of your projects on our Dieselpunk Wars Discord server, on the #creations-gallery channel (remember about the in-game photo mode under F11) AND on Dieselpunk Wars Prologue Workshop Steam page, 💥 Deadline - October 5th, 11:59 PM, CEST, 💥 On October 6th we will publish all projects on our Facebook page, where our community will be able to vote for their favourite vehicle, 💥 Voting will run throughout the day on October 6th.
We didn’t forget about rewards! Person whose vehicle receives the highest number of votes will be granted a special, exclusive role, Skillful Builder, on Dieselpunk Wars Discord server and their vehicle will appear in the final version of the game! What’s more - the developers will evaluate the remaining projects and will also choose their favourite vehicle. The reward will be the same as above.
Before we announce the release date, we still have some little, but important tasks left. Currently, we’re finishing optimization and working on some fixes to make sure that no bugs will bother your gameplay. After we’re done with polishing, we’ll be ready to reveal the release date.
