0.0.9v5 - Sneak Peek! :D
Pushing update til next week! But here's a sneak peek! :D
Hi again everyone! Hope you all are doing more than well and are pumped for the weekend! (and for those of you that are already INTO the weekend, hope Saturday's been great ːsteamhappyː)
Dev Update
It's been a super busy past couple weeks, mainly because after the last hotfix I've been ripping apart HUGE chunks of the core game and rebuilding it to support all sorts of super fun stuff in the future :D
I wanted to give you guys a sneak peek, so you can tell just how big of an adjustment this is! As well as let me know anything you might be excited to see with it in the future :) hence the delay til next week!
Armies under your command on the map now look a little different ;)
And will look different as they grow!
You'll also be able to manage them via certain locations!
I'm not entirely sure how this will work in the long run, curious what you guys think, but I'm excited for the opportunities it brings!
Which also means there's been a big upgrade to the way battles look!
I slowed the spawning down pretty slow for this GIF so you can see them build on, normally they just pop in real quick ;)
I also built this little tool, not sure what I'll use it for... but still! :P
Also a small addition, but I've added depreciative aiming to ranged attacks!
So now if you hold the attack too long it'll start to widen ;) let me know next week if this gets annoying and I can take it out :D
--> https://discord.gg/kGdPW8z
Also! I know I really do say this every time...
But if you DO enjoy Warcube in the slightest, be sure to leave a positive review for it on the store page, it would really mean so much to me :) I read every single one! Doesn't even have to be fancy, just a few words would do :D

Moving Update! (0.0.8v1 sneak peek!)
That's a real picture of me today! #nofilter ;)
Hi again friends :) I just want to first say a HUGE thank you to everyone who commented, messaged or sent me a note of encouragement about the move. It's been a LOT more stressful than I thought, mainly because we've been bouncing between living at families houses while our new place is getting ready.
I've been doing my best to keep the updates coming while working hard on my little foldout table in guest bedrooms, but if you've been checking the update timer you'll have noticed I keep pushing it back :/
Which has been no fun! Because as you already know, I like to update and get everyones input and help! :)
So with that, we'll finally begin the actual move into our new place this weekend, then I have to wait til the 5th for internet to get hooked up :) so expect an update shortly after that, and also I'll be back on the forum/discord more :D
Here's a sneak peak at what I've been working on!
Boat explosions!
The next location is the last outpost for this area, and it features some explosive segments ;)
Lock & Key system!
Cut them down!
Some really fun moments in this new Outpost :)
Partial Controller Support!
Whew okay so this ones been a while in the making, and might be missing some functionality when it comes to ranged weapons, but I'm excited to see what you guys think of playing the game with a controller :)
Map block out!
Oh also! I shared this on Discord a little bit back, but I started to block in the other areas of the map ;) got some fun things planned, and I'd love to hear your ideas on factions! :D
Come hang out on the Discord sometime!
--> https://discord.gg/kGdPW8z
Thanks for being patient with me during the move, I'm excited to be done with it and look forward to an awesome year of working on Warcube with everyone! :D

I'm Moving! - BRB! - 0.0.7v3
That's right, I'm moving!
Just wanted to give you guys a quick headsup, my wife and I (and the baby, and two dogs!) will be moving this weekend, so look for me next week once we finish the drive :)
Basically we'll be moving away from Seattle, USA for about a year to live somewhere reeeeally cheap in the middle of nowhere back in Illinois. (honestly, the strangest move I've ever done...)
The plan is to ONLY work on Warcube during the year, so that I'm able to deliver awesome, CONSISTENT updates rather than having to juggle working on the game and other jobs :)
I'm really looking forward to it, it'll definitely be a change of pace, rumor has it the internet is slow, but the place is nice and quiet (and on a very pretty lake!).
Come hang out on the Discord sometime!

Map + Battle Update! (Army Nemesis) - 0.0.7v1
Giving the Map some much needed updating!
So I've finally started added some more functionality to the map, hopefully you'll start to see where I'm going with things ;) First thing you'll notice is that the terrain is pretty different than it was before, it's much lower to the water, which should make things look more normal :P
Now there's different sized parties that roam the map!
Right now there's only 3 different size, but eventually I'd like to add in other hero-led armies as well :)
With some basic starting formations!
Starting a bigger battle now has initial formations for your allies and the enemies, including a new battleground map!
Lose a battle and the enemy party grows in size...
Win the battle, and uhh... WIN TEH BATTLEZZZ! :P
Also... melee attacking in the air now gives you slow mo! (you're welcome)
Sorry it too me so long to add this :P suffice to say, it's super fun! :D
In Game Options menu!
Much requested, finally integrated! Just in the locations menu currently, should be in the map GUI soon!
Oh... and equipment now sparkles ;)
Because Zelda.
