WWAATD EA v0.172 small patch/hotfix
A small patch for 0.17 taking care of a few issues and stability!
Fixed a rare crash caused by the crash fix from 0.17 (wait the crashes have crashes now?)
Fixed an issue causing unreliable attack drag calculation
Fixed a debug element being visible
Fixed the new rock sound being agnostic of volume setting
Added changelog to main menu (oops, forgot!)
Here's another gif of some of the new gear in v0.17!
CONTENT UPDATE - v0.17 is OUT!
Dear Aspirants!
v0.17 is here! This is an intermediate update before the upcoming Ascension Update which will be the first Major Update! (And the Ascension Update is already in development - a bit more on that below!)
v0.17 is mostly focused on stability but also adds a load of content, because why not? Most prominently, v0.17 should take care of the crashes that were plaguing the game, one frequent one in particular being the post-battle crash-- very happy about fixing that one! (Well, let's hope the battle with these bugs is finally over. I know better than to celebrate too early)

Solo Dev No More! Some of you paying close attention may have noticed development slowed down a bit - compared to right after launch - and even more so compared to before launch (for the people who've been around that long!), This was expected - it is primarily because I am in the process of finding, building, onboarding and managing a team now. Coming from being a solo dev, a side effect is the overall productivity inevitably takes a big hit as my time starts going to all kinds of other things like that. Over the next weeks and months productivity will catch back up and eventually overtake what it ever was before -- long term gain! On that note, I'm very pleased to say the team has further expanded since v0.16 and my solo-dev days truly are history now! I will properly introduce team-members later on, and properly announce the game studio as well.
Ascension Update! v0.2 - the next update after this one - is the Ascension Update. The goal of that update is to elevate the game, reinvent ways to play (let the game ascend!) and set up the remainder of early access. This update is already in development and is well underway.
Major features include: Third Person mode, Controller Support (and possibly Steam Deck support), various combat-focused tweaks and features, tons of new content, fixes and more!
Here's a preview video of Third Person Mode (which also shows the new pan clunk and some new weapons!) https://youtu.be/YlCEdCkbm04

I'm also very happy to announce the team has expanded (after years of solo!) - I'm getting some help with admin and non-development tasks so I can focus on expanding the team further and development itself - excited to build out this game into something really special, together!
Changes in v0.16 include optimisations, bugfixes, balancing changes and new features/items, but this update primarily features 2 new backstories - Desperate Politician and the Blacksmith's Apprentice!

Desperate Politician
A failed politician with no combat skills and whom the crowd actively hates! But you start with decent money and 2 bodyguards in every match (Entourage) - Hide behind your guards and your shield and try to slowly gain the favor (votes) of the patrons to succeed.

We Who Are About To Die is 20% off!
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
⚔️ We Who Are About To Die is -20% ⚔️ And the support pack 10% off! (26% together) This will last the entire Winter Sale, untill Jan 5th. Its the first major sale so I'm super excited to find out how it will go!
We Who Are About To Buy
Full transparency - there is no better time to grab the game, this will be the highest discount for a while. I was actually not recommended by some to discount so soon and so much right after release, but after such a great launch - why not, and what better time than the holidays? More players more good in my opinion.
Already own the game & still wanna help out? (huge thanks if so!) Put a link in a gaming discord or somewhere, maybe consider gifting the game to friends or doing a give-away!
Discord community
Yesterday I gave away 5 keys to the game on the Discord to celebrate! If you'd like to join other giveaways, join fun competitions, follow (and influence) development or just hang out and chat, I'd like to invite and welcome you to the community: discord.com/invite/eCdUxht
General updates and current plans!
⚔️ The recent reviews have risen from 89% to 91%/92% positive!!! Craaaaazy. Really feeling the love. Before the game released I was extremely nervous it wouldn't even get 70% and be it would be 'Mixed'. Thank you so much everyone for leaving all your constructive (and often heartwarming) reviews. The feedback is truly amazing. Not just in a motivational way but also to know where to take the game from here on out.
⚔️ I'm currently working on a patch which focuses on bugs, performance and stability, and I will sneak in some holiday-specific stuff too 🙂 I just moved the game to a new engine version which was quite an undertaking, but necessary. (I know I know, I said I'd take a break, but honestly I can't resist working on it for more than a few days.) This version is hopefully coming to the test branch very soon (enable in Properties>Betas, give reports and feedback on Discord linked above) so you can test as I keep working on it. After that, fresh content (a new backstory, eg.) + starting towards controller and Steam Deck support.
⚔️ Also starting to focus a lot on expanding the team. Already talking to people (nothing official yet) - really thrilling after 7 years solo. In fact also how this sale and december in general goes will have a big impact on the further life of the game and game studio!
As always, We who are about to die salute you, Jordy
Update 1 is OUT! (Early Access v0.1.3)
Dear Aspirants!
Update 1 is now out! It took a little longer than I had hoped - post-launch has been very hectic to say the least! I wanted to start off right, so Update 1 brings a bit of everything - Many bug-fixes and balancing changes, but also new content and features. From items to new meta-progression, to balancing in every single area of the game (and the much requested / reported issues!) - it should have something for everyone! This update affects the difficulty of the game quite a lot, so definitely let me know what you think. Trainee mode has been extended to 10 runs, so make sure you let me know which difficulty you are on when commenting on the difficulty/balance!

Maximum max stamina is decreased by 75
Minimum Stamina Regen rate is increased by about 15%

AI maximum Max Stamina reduced by 50
General armor decay increased
All flails have received a big damage stat nerf (compensating for their higher velocity) and a slight durability nerf, as well as more accurate velocity/range stats (for price)
Lowered the Thrill Seeker Civilian legacy reward a bit (no details - spoilers!)
Trainee mode (gradual difficulty increase) has been spread over the first 10 runs instead of 5.
added small skill increase on every rank up (1 on all skills)
Training flat gain and learning rate at maximum training regime are reduced by roughly 15%
Mysterious Malaise event now depletes less health and less max stamina

Aggression of all AI slightly increased
Increased chance for villa maps to appear (for more map variation)

Bugfixes
Fixed bug with AI getting stuck in the floor after a teleport on Lion's Roar Arena
Fixed bug where you can get a shield from an event even though you already have a polearm or 2 handed weapon
Fixed bug where thrown weapons ended up having much lower momentum than they should
Possibly fixed (likely reduced) crash after re-entering career menu, in particular in late game.
Fixed (or reduced) corpses launching into the stratosphere on kill
Fixed some shop items getting stuck/frozen in some cases (Needs confirmation)
Maybe fixed issue where 2 backstories would sometimes have overlapping effects. (eg. play a Civilian with 50% gold tax etc.)
Maybe fixed issue with cursor getting stuck (double cursor) after exiting ESC menu on tutorial, causing character not to rotate etc.
Fixed issue where AI would not actually drop broken weapons once they hit 0 durability and continue to use them.
Fixed Promotions and Fundraising reporting the wrong values
Removed some old code that was sending out some data (may have caused a firewall error on startup first time, not sure if that was it.)

Added warning to 'reset Combat Tutorial' that it will abandon your character
Some minor spelling fixes.
Added a changelog to the main menu. Should open on its own first time on a new update.
Performance issues (high end GPU's in particular)
I've had reports that in some specific instances with very high end machines (ironically) there is lower performance than expected. (eg. 40 fps instead of 120.) Seems some 30xx and 40xx GPU's are suffering this, but its not clear yet. It's being investigated.
There is also an issue where sometimes performance (increasingly over time) is impacted possibly when running razer apps and/or Geforce Experience, closing them may fix it.
Launching with launch option '-DX12' may solve both these issues and any other performance/graphics issues, however it could also be unstable. Update 2 will work towards a permanent fix / running on DX12.
What next?
Besides the obvious (continued bugfixing, balance changes), more and more content will be added each Update. I am planning to add one backstory for Update 2 already (and many more to come).
For Update 2 one major goal is to update the engine behind the scenes, which should hopefully solve the issue mentioned above, improve performance and fix a few more issues (eg. related to Full screen)
You can play the Sacrificial (experimental/beta) branch for early early access which will receive more frequent updates. Enable this under properties>betas>sacrificial branch.
I am also going to take it 'easier' for a few weeks during the holidays after many years of hard work (but still going to upkeep Update 1 if needed), and plan to start 2023 with full force - all focus on Update 2 first and then constant, frequent meaningful updates! The current plan is also to expand the team and finally step away from the solo-development!! I'll be preparing and planning everything in the next weeks before 2023 so I can get this expansion going ASAP - very very excited about 2023 and on.
Fun Fact!
To end this update announcement, here's a fun fact! The carpet featured in-game prominently (eg. in the main Armory) is a 1:1 recreation of a real carpet I own -- in fact most of the game was built on top of it!
We who are about to die salute you! Jordy
Most Innovative Gameplay Award!
Dear Aspirants!
With less than 1 hour left on the Steam Awards nominations, I'd like to humbly throw my hat in the arena and request your nomination for the Most Innovative Gameplay award!
Although of course 'labor of love' and 'games you suck at' would certainly be appropriate, I and the community feel we have the best chance at being nominated in the the Most Innovative Gameplay category.
My goal with We Who Are About To Die from the start many years ago, was not to compromise on gameplay innovation, and try to explore (and dare to risk) to create something new. I knew it was the main benefit of being an Indie developer and more so a solo developer. I would hope you agree, that at least I had a good stab at it!
You can select your nomination above, or see the full nominations here: https://store.steampowered.com/steamawards/nominations?snr=1_4_660__steamawards-banner
If you'd like the go the extra mile, please spread this event / nomination suggestion among your friends and other players.
Make no mistake, it is a cutthroat arena, and this little gladiator indie game might not have a great chance, but if there's anything I've learned these past few weeks, it is that the small combatant may yet surprise the audience - for glory, or DEATH!
Sacrificial beta branch! (Update 1 early early access!)
SIDENOTE: the Sacrifical beta branch is live, where you can have early early access to Update 1! Update 1 addresses most major issues so far and adds a load of new content/features already. Please join the discord for more information. https://discord.com/invite/eCdUxht
