We're working on a big update to Fortune & Gloria based on player and reviewer feedback, fixing a few small issues, adding more content, bringing in some quality of life improvements and increasing the fun factor.
Some of the changes that will be included in the update are:
- Solo and CoOp modes split (can still play CoOp with AI ally)
- New end condition: beat the boss, board the helicopter
- New enemy units: Attack Helicopter and Tank
- All enemies unlocked at start for more variety
- Improved enemy AI responsiveness
- Balanced difficulty levels
- Enhanced visual feedback for killing enemies and on victory
- Updated sound system for more immersive soundscape
- Increased level variablility for more replayability
- Gamepad controls more responsive
- Windowed mode: press Alt+Enter or F11 to toggle
The update should be out before the end of the month, and will likely be followed with a sale in early October.
We're also releasing a small pirate-themed game next week called Pirate Island Rescue, and some of the improvements in Fortune & Gloria came from making that game.
Czech langauge added and more
Fortune & Gloria has not been out long, but we've already released some updates.
The updates include:
- Czech language support (first draft)
- AI ally improvements, so they jump better, avoid traps better and don't get left behind if they go offscreen
- Enemy AI improvements, such as being more reactive, better detection if player is behind them and less likely to wander into traps
- Additional variations in some environments, such as tunnels in the desert
We welcome all suggestions for improvements, so if there is anything you'd like to see changed or added, please post in the discussions.
If there are any issues with the translation of the game, or if there is a language you would like to see added, then please post in this thread:

The Release Date
We are pleased to announce that Fortune & Gloria will be released 24 July 2018.
We've completed Steam integration so that the game works with the Steam Overlay and we've added in the Achievements.
All that's left is just to do some final testing and get the word out. Make sure to Wishlist the game so you get notified when it releases, and please share with your friends.
If you can't wait to play the game, don't forget to check out the Demo, just look for the Download Demo button on the store page or click the link below.
We're releasing the demo today for Fortune & Gloria ahead of the full release, to give you a taste of what to expect.
In the demo you can play unlimited procedurally generated missions, but with fewer variants than the full game and a few other differences, namely:
- Singleplayer only instead of Singleplayer and Local CoOp
- 1 environment, instead of 5 environments
- 1 enemy unit from 1 group, instead of 25 from 5 groups
Default controls are arrow keys for movement and Z to shoot and X to throw grenades, but you can switch that in Options to WASD or ZQSD (for AZERTY keyboard players), plus Steam Controller or XBox-type controller.
So, what are you waiting for? Go grab your trusty assault rifle, a handful of grenades, and join Nate "Fortune" Cobb and Gloria Guerrero on a mission to rescue hostages, take out the bad guys and blow stuff up!
And if you like what you see in the demo, don't forget to add Fortune & Gloria to your wishlist!
