Infested Fortress

Update Notes for Apr 16th


  • Add emergency priority to digging/building/refining that overrides general task class priorities. This can be used to prioritize an emergency task you want to be done ASAP.
    Some people were confused how the priorities on a particular building/excavation related to the general priorities in the priority panel. In principle, character-specific priorities set in the priority panel carry more weight.
    In detail: each level in the priority panel is weighted with 10000, each priority on a specific task with 3000. In other words, you need 4 levels more on a specific task to balance one level in the priority panel.
    The new emergency priority has a hundred times more priority so it will generally win.
  • Fix freezes at end turn (with AI characters being knocked down).
  • Buildings restructured in a way that they do not block pathfinding. They cannot be rotated to prevent situations where you effectively block characters.
  • Quitting to the main menu creates a unique save game that won't get overwritten by the next save.
  •  Faster loading of save game list.

Update Notes for Apr 11th


  • Buildings have category-specific grounds to make them easier to categorize
  • Buildings can be placed even when you are lacking the resources
  • Show building blueprint until it's built
  • Can now demolish walls
  • Prevent characters from starving due to high fatigue

Update Notes for Mar 22nd


  • Camp guards stay within the confines of their camp
  • Show buildings that cannot be built right now with a gray background, so new players quickly see which buildings are available
  • Explain reason for not being able to build a building in a tooltip (lack of proficiency, lack of other building, ...)
  • Keep history of events during session
  • Fill large excavated areas with pillars to prevent the dungeon from collapsing and to provide light
  • Replace font by a more readable one: this required extensive testing and may cause layout issues I might have missed, so if you find any, please let me know
  • Bug fixes

Update Notes for Mar 15th


  • Toned down combat music volume
  • Fixed a bug where Priest's Flash blinded allies instead of enemies
  • Don't play voice-overs when player summons are killed/wounded
  • Warn if off-hand or dual skills are learned before their prerequisites
  • Can now double-click on cell to start/cancel digging
  • Show hint if player builds chicken/pig/cattle farm without having any respective animals
  • Can now click on an empty cell and select the desired building
  • When selecting characters with a skill selected, give valid targets preference
  • Warn that building is missing if queuing in refinements on a building that hasn't been built yet
  • Explain why craft button is disabled (missing building, proficiency)
  • Skill descriptions take equipment boni into account
  • Reversal of Fortune now gets removed when triggered
  • New Ground Texture
  • Restore camp inhabitants when loading

Update Notes for March 13th

Been on a convention last weekend showcasing the game. A lot of players were playing Infested Fortress so I had the chance to find out where players can get confused. As a consequence, this update has a clear focus on accessibility.

  • Enemies having their own camp will not use player's infrastructure
  • Characters can be selected by their model now, when hovering over model, it will be highlighted
  • Add quality settings
  • Can now mark a cell for digging on its info panel
  • While rallying, show a text to indicate that to the player
  • While paused, show a paused text
  • Show x5 in refinement panel to make clear you get 5 units per refinement
  • Show class role when selecting reinforcements
  • Change hints collapse button to make it more intuitive
  • Out of storage hints now automatically disappear if there's again enough storage space
  • Get rid of cancel dig button, now marking a cell for digging again will unselect it
  • Change cursor to Hoe when in digging mode
  • When previewing skill damage, also show target's remaining hp so the player can quickly see if it will die
  • Offer confirm button when showing selected skill
  • Tile colors now use color scheme suitable for color blind persons
  • Hospital can now heal all characters that are not on full health (as opposed to less than 75% health)
  • Squashed some more bugs

Have fun!
