Hello everyone!

We’ve got another Community Maps Spotlight to share some player created content.

Recently, NintendoLife held a custom map competition. We checked out some of the submissions and there were loads of really excellent entries – great job everyone who participated! Here’s a selection of a few interesting maps which were entries in their contest.

Hey folks, Tom here! Today I’m going to share my experience of working on the AI with you.

I came to the Wargroove team fairly late, switching over from Stardew Valley once work on the multiplayer update came to a conclusion. When I first joined the team, Wargroove already had AI, albeit AI that would commonly throw away a win, or miss an opportunity to escape defeat. My first major task was finding ways to make the AI smarter… a daunting introduction for someone who (at the time) couldn’t even beat the AI!

Luckily, I had help from Tiy (game design) and Armagon (level design), experts at handing the AI its ass. Together, they sent me dozens of situations where the AI was acting dumb. My job in each case was to step through the AI’s decision making using the debug output available in dev builds, and figure out why it thought a dumb order was a good idea.

This he...

Oh wow. Hi, internet.

Abi here, Artist and Writer at Chucklefish. I’ve come out of my hermit cave to give you guys a window into the writing of Wargroove! Let’s get right to it, as it’s bright out here and I want to get back to those sweet, mossy shadows…
Just like the art, design and code, the game’s writing was a team effort. From the outset we wanted Wargroove to be a character-centric game, so that’s where we started. We had meetings about the commanders’ personalities, their histories, their relationships and their goals. Eventually, out of the squishy clay of discussion and debate, more than a dozen characters were formed: colourful, complex golems brought to life.

First of all, I want to say how humbled and thankful we all are here at Chucklefish for the incredible launch weekend. It’s truly been amazing, we’ve already covered the cost of development and are throwing ourselves into improving the game further.

So what’s next for Wargroove?

 

Really Short Term

We already have the first post-launch patch submitted and going through approval, this patch brings with it a number of bug fixes and other small improvements that we weren’t able to fix in time for release.

  • Fix bug that caused online multiplayer maps against AI to sometimes go into a broken state.
  • Fix bug that caused spectating online on Fog of War maps to not work correctly.
  • Fix bug that caused issues around resigning on matches.
  • Fix the display of some Japa...

Hey everyone! I hope you’re all as excited for the release of Wargroove next week as we are! Today I wanted to list Wargroove‘s voice cast, who have helped bring our commanders and characters to life with battle shouts and cutscene cries! It’s been such a great experience working with all these talented actors and they’ve brought so much to the project.

It’s that time again where I get to share another song created by the talented Phonetic Hero! Today’s track belongs to the Heavensong Empire’s child prodigy and heir to the throne, Koji, who wields his giant mechanised puppet Tenko in battle with surprising agility.
