The Wall

Update Reverted

The last update including translations has been reverted due to some nasty bugs - sorry about that everyone! I'll get the last update squared away tomorrow.

Chinese Translations! Bug Fixes!

This update introduces Chinese translations for most things in the game - it definitely needs work but it's good enough for people to understand how to play.

Outside of that there's a few more items:

  • Buffed SMG recoil
  • Nerfed revolver recoil
  • Fixed drone bug
  • Potentially fixed bug that causes input sens to drop to zero
  • Nerfed wire gun damage

The Wall Free to Play Update



Background


The Wall was first released back in 2018. Players loved the concept and had a great time, but the game was a sinking ship. Over time, bugs, major server flaws, and playerbase issues got worse and worse until I finally decided to pull the plug on development in 2019. The game needed a redo.

After pulling the plug in 2019, I gave development a break because I didn't know where to go with development. However, I came back to it by just working on small, polished pieces - bit by bit, the game started to be replaced with new systems and better code. Now, after four years of development, it's time for The Wall to be released again!


Free to Play Update



It's hard to call this release an update because it's basically an entirely new game, but here's just a few of the new changes:

  • Overhauled graphics
  • Overhauled audio systems
  • Overhauled animation systems
  • Overhauled gunplay
  • Overhauled server infrastructure
  • New maps
  • New electricity system
  • New squad system
  • New voice chat


Why Free?



Although The Wall has had a dedicated community ever since 2018, playerbase issues was one of its major flaws. I'm hoping this decision will expand the game's reach.

A "full version" of the game is purchasable in-game which grants increased rewards from matches as well as future access to co-op. Cosmetic items are also for sale, with weapon skins for every gun being purchasable right now.

Releasing October 15! Open Beta Live!

Temporary Shutdown - Huge Update Coming Soon!

After several years of waiting, The Wall will be receiving a huge update soon. In preparation for this next big step, The Wall will be removed from sale temporarily and servers will be shut down. Please join the official Discord server here for regular updates!

I apologize to those who have waited this long for the next playable version. Please be assured that your initial purchase of the game will heavily rewarded with the new version.

This next version of The Wall is almost entirely a new game - overhauled graphics, netcode, etc. It has the same mechanics that you loved from the old version, but this update is going to blow the 2018 release out of the water.
