Last week we had the chance to showcase Barrage Digital at Bologna Play, one of the biggest Italian fairs dedicated to board games and everything that’s related to tabletop gaming. It was an incredible opportunity to meet players face-to-face, watch them interact with the game, and hear their thoughts in real time. Whether it was seasoned veterans of the board game or newcomers just discovering Barrage, the feedback we received was as diverse as it was valuable.

From Board to Bytes #5 - The Advanced Techs
Howdy Folks,
Today we dive into a fundamental mechanic of Barrage, the Tech tiles, or Technologies. You will need Techs to build Structures - whenever you perform a Construction action, a Tech will allow you to build a specific Building which will end up on the game map. Advanced Techs can be purchased throughout the game; they represent cutting-edge innovations and strategic upgrades that can supercharge your infrastructure, streamline your operations, and unlock new possibilities for your economic engine.

From Board to Bytes – The Challenges of Adapting a Board Game into a Video Game
Howdy, everyone!
Today, we are thrilled to share some behind-the-scenes insights into our journey as we bring our beloved board game to life in the digital world.
Board games and video games share a love for strategy, creativity, and fun, but they’re fundamentally different beasts. While a board game thrives on tactile pieces, face-to-face interactions, and the simplicity of pen and paper, a video game must translate those elements into something intuitive, immersive, and dynamic for players sitting in front of a screen.

Barrage is part of the Steam NEXT FEST
Hey Folks,
our new gigantic endeavour, Barrage, is taking part in the current Steam Next Fest. This is a unique chance to try out the game while it's in development and provide some precious feedback while we need it the most.
The demo features one playable faction, a tutorial and a total of 3 rounds to play, and will be available until Oct 21.
Head over to the Barrage game page and look for the "Download PC demo" to try it out, on Windows and Mac.
Set in a uchronic past where traditional energy production collapsed, hydroelectric power is now the herald of a new era of marvelous technologies.
Barrage is a worker placement game which is the adaptation of the namesake board game. You will send your Engineers to make different tasks around the board, such as building Dams, managing Water droplets, producing Energy and fulfill precious Contracts.
Wishlist it now to stay updated on the game!
Server Maintenance
Buongiorno to everybody!
On the 23rd of April the multiplayer server will be down for maintenance. The downtime will allow me to fix a small bug that has recently emerged, where players are unable to open new games due to the fact that "hidden" games are counted towards the limit of 10 games open per player. By "hidden" games I mean all the ongoing games that a player is part of but that are not shown in the lobby for the following reasons:
The game is over but not all the opponents have acknowledged the results yet
The player resigned from a game but the game is still going
Sadly, due to the fact that the server will actually be restarted, all the ongoing games will be lost.
Cheers, Cody
