Lead a band of heroes as they grow from reluctant farmers into unique, legendary fighters. Combat unexpected threats and strange monsters across interactive battlefields. Unravel mysteries and share pensive moments in an ever-new fantasy setting that blends hard truths and sacrifice with humor and personal storytelling.
Where does your myth lead? Come help us uncover it!
- Reminiscent of tabletop roleplaying, unique heroes are born in unique settings every game. They age, transform, fall in love, disagree, and make harrowing sacrifices.
- Each hero brings their own organic history and personality with them, but your choices and combat skills are what decide their paths and outcomes.
- All heroes die someday… but you get to hold on to your favorites. Reintroduce them in the next adventure, and over many lifetimes the myths you make will form your own legendary pantheon.
An Imaginative Papercraft World
The Yondering Lands, where the game is set, is a richly layered world populated with hand-painted 2D characters and scenery. We’ve paid loving attention to breaking molds and exploring new ideas: no orcs, elves, or goblins here—but watch out for the telepathic insect-dragons and the clockwork undead.
Extreme Character Depth
Each of your heroes has their own unique generated history, personality, and appearance, and will form relationships with your other heroes. All of these elements change and develop over the course of a playthrough, as characters age, encounter mysteries, and overcome challenges.
Choices That Matter
Your hero may choose to trust the enigmatic wolf god, leading to a hair-raising change in their appearance and combat abilities. Or they may pursue a romance with a fellow hero, giving each of them a shared buff and more story opportunities. Encounters and events have permanent, character-defining effects, letting you craft the arc of each character.
A New Approach to Death
Did your favorite character get one-shotted by a tentacled horror-bear? Choose to let a hero "fall back" with a maiming that will lead to some transformative new paths in their legend, or let them go out in a blaze of glory to be remembered for generations to come.
Deep and Creative Tactical Combat
Combat in Wildermyth emphasizes teamwork and careful positioning, as well as imaginative use of your evolving capabilities and surroundings. Walling and Flanking mechanics provide clear but conflicting incentives, while mystical interfusion lets you remake the battlefield with explosive magic. Multiple difficulty levels mean you can get as intense as you want to.
Endless Replayability
Pick and choose from a huge bank of combat abilities as your heroes level up in each playthrough, and decide whether you prefer offensive or defensive tactics, brute strength, stealth, or magically flinging fire from a nearby lamp into your enemies' faces. Procedural generation gives you new heroes, new enemies, new story events, and new maps every time you play.
A Custom Pantheon of Legends
You’ll have the freedom to customize hero appearances, names, histories, and more. As time passes, heroes grow old and may retire, or else might fall in combat—and yes, some will survive all the way to the end. You can add your favorite heroes to a roster of legends and call on them again in later playthroughs. Build your own mythologies and share the awe-inspiring might of your heroes with others.

Hi, this is Nate Austin, co-owner of Worldwalker Games.
Wildermyth has been a wonderful journey for us, but that journey has now come to an end. We feel proud of what we've accomplished, and lucky to have an incredible team and an amazing community. And it's never fun to bring something to an end, but sadly this is that time.
The Facts
Active development on Wildermyth is complete. We will continue to support the game and fix critical bugs, but don't expect new content, going forward. We will be saying farewell to many of our team members. <3 Worldwalker Games is going into hibernation for now.What's Not Going Away
This does not, in any way, affect plans to bring Wildermyth to other platforms. We hope to be able to announce more on that fairly soon, but I cannot say more right now.The Soundtrack Kickstarter is also not affected. Live recordings of the music will be integrated into the game, and made available as a purchasable OST.
French and Spanish translations for Omenroad will be completed.
We will continue to maintain the discord, wiki, social media, support emails, and merch store.
Why, and Why Now?
Wildermyth has been wonderful, but nothing goes on forever. We wanted to ship Omenroad, and having done that, we're ready to move on. This was the plan, and it doesn't have anything to do with how well Omenroad is doing. (It's doing quite well! And we're extremely proud of it, and will continue to support it!)We're an independent studio, which means we're not answerable to investors. Nobody is shutting us down. We are going into hibernation because we are done with this project.
The Feels
When I started working on this game, um, 11 years ago, I had a bit of a chip on my shoulder. "I'll show them. I'll show them all." It's not there anymore. The last crumbs (is that how it works? What kind of chip is it supposed to be? A wood chip? A tortilla chip?) Well, the last crumbs of that chip were brushed away some time ago. I feel like we contributed something positive to the ongoing conversation of "what can a game be?"For my part, I feel that we did what we set out to do, and the time has come to move on. I'm very proud to have been a part of a very special team, and a very special game, and I'm hopeful that the game will continue to live on. We have a tremendous community of players and modders, and that's a dream come true. It's been an incredible honor to deliver you Wildermyth, and I thank you for it!
I'm pretty sure we'll eventually find something else to pour our passion into, and we'll let you know about it when the time comes.

Wildermyth: Omenroad
The Omenroad DLC gives you a new way to play Wildermyth. For the fighters, we have a roguelike tactical challenge mode with progression across runs. And for the lovers, we have A Walk in the Unlight, a huge new story campaign that uses the Omenroad format to take your heroes past the edge of the Yondering Lands and into worlds beyond.
Challenge Modes
Legacy Heroes and Greenhorns alike run a gauntlet of battles, each increasing in difficulty. A node map replaces the Overland map and your party chooses a path by following your appetite for risk and reward.
Transformations, pets, and other rewards are present within the fights themselves, making it a tactical choice which ones to pick up. As a challenge mode, Omenroad runs dont take place within a larger story and you wont encounter random story events.
At the end of a run, promote your favorite heroes and bring them back into the base game. In between runs, increase Peril for more of a challenge and equip Odes to make your party stronger.
Youll get:
- 20 new boss fights
- 20 new unlockable artifacts and augments
- New Shadow spirit and Shadow weapons to discover in both Omenroad and the base game
- 75 new battle maps with new objectives
- A Wall of Fame with twelve challenge-based titles for heroes to earn
- And for those hungry for another Wildermyth campaign
You Are Invited to the Neverbefore Ball!
Our new campaign uses the Omenroad format to tell a Wildermyth story, following two adventurers into Netherflare, the land of the lost. There they encounter faces both fresh and familiar, crossing the phantom-lands of a thousand Yonderings to arrive at a mystical ballroom in a dragons castle.
As in the challenge modes, a node map will replace the Overland map and no random story events will occur. Instead, all the stories youll encounter have been written specifically for this campaign, making it our most extensively written campaign, by far.
Expect to find:
- A sprawling story that touches on the lore of all our previous campaigns
- A new biome: Netherflare!
- More than 25 new battle maps!
Come see what weird wonders will upend you, and who might wander at your side, as you take A Walk in the Unlight.

Fixed some Russian translation issues
Wildermyth is now playable in Russian!
After a much anticipated wait, Wildermyth's Russian translation is now complete!! So much hard work and heart has gone into this translation; thank you to our Russian translation team Lock On Games, and all its members: Coretcaia Liubovi, Nikolay Elagin, Dina Andreeva, Mykhailo Beliavskyi, Ekaterina Belova, Khamidullin Valentin, Ivan Dymkovich, and Gubankova Elena.
And thank you to all the Russian players who have been patiently waiting!
This marks a huge milestone as we have now successfully completed all of the translations of Wildermyth that we had planned. We aren't planning on translating to any other languages right nowthey're very complex and expensivebut we have lots of modding support for any fan translations!

[u](Note: This beta content is currently only in English)[/u]
We're excited to announce our upcoming DLC: Wildermyth: The Omenroad. A major piece of the DLC is a new challenge mode, and we'll be conducting a closed beta for the challenge mode over the next few months.
(We're also planning to include an Omenroad story campaign with the DLC, but it's not part of the beta and we're not ready to share details on it just yet!)
The Omenroad
The Omenroad DLC includes a combat-driven, challenge-focused gameplay mode with increasing levels of difficulty. This mode has no story and no overland. Instead, in between battles, players choose which path they'd like to take on a nodemap. Each fight has one or more rewards associated with it. These can be gear, resources, abilities, relationships, transformations, pets, and more!
Rewards show up on the combat map with a timer. If you don't get to the reward before the timer runs out, it'll disappear. These in-mission rewards are the main way you'll be making your heroes stronger, but getting to them in time will often force your heroes into more dangerous combat situations.
An Omenroad run consists of three pages of battles, each page with a boss fight at the end. Omenroad runs are always Carved in Stone; no manual saving and reloading, every decision you make is permanent.
Omenroad doesn't have difficulty settings the way the regular campaigns do.
Difficulty starts out equal to the level of Tragic Hero. When you complete an Omenroad run, you will unlock a new Peril level. Peril makes the game harder in various ways, like increasing enemy health and damage or causing enemies to spawn when you open a reward.However, completing an Omenroad run (or even losing one) also increases Renown, which can be used to enable Odes. Odes are buffs to your party, including things like increased health or accuracy, warriors starting fights with temp health, hunters dealing additional damage from grayplane, and mystics having increased range on interfusion abilities.
Peril and Odes are the two opposite sides of difficulty for the Omenroad. Peril will test your limits. Odes will help you push through.
Seeking Beta Testers!
We're really excited about how this DLC is coming along, and we're happy we finally get to reveal what we've been working on over the past several months. We want to make this DLC as fun and fine-tuned as possible, so we're looking for Beta testers!

Wildermyth is now playable in French!
At last! French speakers are now able to play Wildermyth in their native tongue. So much hard work and heart has gone into this translation; thank you to our French translation team, Riotloc, and all its members: Alexander Bolotin, Anas Gerber, Eric Holweck, Guillaume Pelletier, Jonathan Pierre, Kvin Bernier, Marc Eybert-Guillon, Nadge Gayon-Debonnet, Pierre Quelquejeu, Stphane Tranquille, Violaine Sauze, and Ophlie Colin.And thank you for all the French players who have been patiently waiting!
(Russian translation is currently going through another round of QA and making some more fixes.)
Other Updates
We've rewritten two events, Pastoral Quarrel (from: Sweeping Swallow) and When We Fight, added a new hairstyle, and made some changes to miscellaneous combat and monster features. And, of course, squashed a bunch of bugs.Wildermyth turned 2 Years Old!

DLC Updates[/h2]
Also, if you've been following our socials or Discord, you've probably noticed a couple sneak peeks at what we have in the works for our second DLC. We don't have anything to say about the DLC quite yet, but here are some of those images!
1.14+486 Elona Rib
- Added official support for French!
- Rewritten Event: Pastoral Quarrel (from: Sweeping Swallow)
- Rewritten Event: When We Fight
- Two New Tidings
- Shardnado now deals less damage but has a larger radius
Humanist+ increases the radius
Shardnado has always felt too similar to fireleash, and we wanted to differentiate it more. Now, it can easily hit many enemies at once, and creates a nice AOE to chip away at them over the next turn
- Skeleton Inscrutable Stare now works on Morthagi
The restriction felt kind of appropriate thematically, but ultimately removed an important part of skeletal heroes' kit in a way that wasn't fun
- Ambush with Throughshot can now be placed behind enemies
- New hairstyle
- Enemy healthbars now show calamity icons for calamity buffs
Not being able to easily tell which enemies had calamity damage buffs without viewing their tooltips could cause some unexpected hard hits. This should make it easier to tell when that roe can one-shot your mystic
- Adjusted tile feedback for many AOE abilities (ranges have more
of a "border", instead of highlighting each tile the same)
Fireleash tile feedback shown here, old vs new
- Added new image for "Add to Legacy" dialog
- Dart and Sommelier damage calamities now show up later
- New interface option (off by default):
"Show Simple Gear Stat Changes in Empty Slot Buttons"
(to see simple stat changes without hovering all the slots)
For simple augments that only require one line to show the stat change, some players found it annoying needing to hover each slot to see the stat changes. This option makes it so that as long as the slot is empty, you don't have to! It's off by default, just because we're worried about the inconsistency of it only showing up in empty slots for items that grant one stat being confusing, especially for new players.
- Updated libGDX from version 1.9.11 to 1.11.0 (This may fix or
improve some general graphics issues, hard to say for sure) - Foothill Stonewalling no longer prevented by several abilities
- Adjusted hero Customize tab to work much better with controllers
- DLC: Added "Draconic" Teeny Wings transformation skin
- Fix a bug where Rager could attack while stunned
- Fix a bug where Ember Arrows + Throughshot showed wrong damage
- Fix a bug with using Blazing Sword without LOS
- Fix a bug where certain AOE attacks and tile effects caused lag
- Fix a bug where "Mysterious" hook could be put on hero children
- Fix a bug where Drauven using Sneer could jump onto hidden heroes
- Fix a bug where Skeleton Curse didn't properly last 2 turns
- Fix a bug where Quakebaker hammer damage was higher than intended
- Fix a bug with some incorrect genders in history lines
- Fix a DLC bug where some armor bonuses would show in comics
- Fix a DLC bug where Fashioned for the Fray went away if next
to hidden ally - Fix a DLC bug where Valiant Bracing wouldn't work with Paladin+
- Fix a DLC bug where NPC mystics could become hidden
- Fix a DLC bug where Feral Memory could stack
- Fix DLC Saurian crow skin toes
- Tools: Added "Connections" panel to Effect and Aspects editors
(shares space with the "Raw" panel) Used to switch between
related Effects and Aspects. Also shows Injected Roles from
branch events, etc, and error messages take this into account
Made this after getting tired of constantly swapping between the aspects and effects tabs for abilities or quest chains with many separate parts. Hoping modders will find it useful!
- Tools: Added "Refresh" button at the top-right, which refreshes
mods and connections. (If you've been restarting the game or
switching mods on/off after making changes, try this instead!) - Tools: Can spawn "custom" hazards (see humanistRecipe_shardnado)
- Tools: Tile targeting now respects "allowDuplicates"
Fixed a bug where DLC armors and skins would sometimes not show up, either on the crafting screen or on heroes themselves
OUR FIRST DLC IS AVAILABLE NOW!
Armors and Skins unlocks four new armor types per class (with two tiers each) and four new Humble Ginnings per class, for a total of 36 new outfitsthis triples the number of armors in the game! Each armor also brings its own new set of stats and mechanics, allowing you to explore new builds for your heroes. Try an armored battle-mage, an assassin hunter, or a gladiator warrior with lots of movement.The DLC also adds 42 new transformation skins, allowing for further customization of your transformed heroes. Multiple Wolftouched hunters in your party? Now you can tell them apart! Your Crystalline warrior can be rough or refined to match her fighting style. Or maybe your Crowtouched mystic has always had a bit of a "saurian" streak.
A little bonus- we're on sale for LudoNarraCon! You can get Wildermyth for 25% off from May 4th-11th. It's the perfect time to pick up the main game and the DLC if you haven't already!

1.13 Niyati Update
Additionally, we have general updates in our 1.13 patch! We've rewritten an old event, now named "The Captive's Choice", as well as added 28 new generic augments and made some UI edits so Hero customization is now all on one page. Plus some good ole' bug fixes.The Future

Hi adventurers! We have a small update for you all this month to usher in the spring season.
We've rewritten the event "Hunting Ambrosia", now named "Trade Secrets". A couple combat modifiers have been buffed: Fortitude now grants +2 Temp Health, and Cunning now deals +2 damage on flank. Lots of adjustments and fixes for translations, and, of course, a couple of bug fixes!
Additionally, the winning designs from our Artifact Weapon Design Contest are now available to be found in game. The Wraithword Knife and Dreamer's Crook were designed by Discord users Wracketeer and LadTheFox. (Join our Discord for a new contest launching soon!)

Desalvo, Guido Bindi, Laura R. Cariola, Luis Mormolini and Carolina Panero.(As with the last patch, Russian and French are getting close, but aren't at the quality assurance step yet.)
Gorgon Changes
Ah, Gorgons: everyone's favorite introductory enemy. We've decided to revisit them and make some changes to their abilities, mostly focusing on how corruption functions. We're hoping that these changes make combat with Gorgons more dynamic and interesting.All Gorgons now leave paths of corruption when they are damaged, and they also leave corruption on tiles when they die. Corruption deals 1 magic damage when moving into a corrupted tile, so we've made the tile feedback more visible. Check out the patch notes for the other changes that we made!

Freshen up your heroes for the holidays with six new hairstyles and twenty new augments! We've also added two new events, four new tidings, and New maps for Grove and Earthworks sites.Winter Sale

Hail, adventurers! We have an update for you all that makes some big changes to attack synergies.
Previously, arm transformations would make certain abilities useless, which always felt a little bad. So this patch, we've made it so that ranged and melee theme attacks can often be used with certain abilities regardless of their melee/ranged status. We're hoping this allows for some more interesting build variety. (Quellingmoss + Cone of Fire? Sentinel + Chain Lightning?) More specifically: Most Ranged and Melee theme attacks will now work with Guardian, Sentinel, Broadswipes, Riposte, Ember Arrows, Piercing Shots, Quellingmoss, Archery, and Ambush.
For you controller and Steam Deck users out there, we made a ton of quality of life adjustments to bindings and UI, so controls should work better and smaller resolutions (like playing on the Steam Deck with the "bigger" UI option selected) should be laid out more nicely on many screens; you can check out the details in the patch notes below.
To better indicate some commonly overlooked UI, scouting and bridge/pass building options are much more clear on the overland, and we added sparkles to ability buttons for some non-turn-ending attacks (battledance attacks, swift action wolf bite, prepared shot, etc). Fire smoke particles have been greatly reduced when there's a bunch (no more blinding you while playing, yay!), and we created new VFX for star, vine, storm, fire, crow, hill, morthagi, skeletal, and tree theme skins. Plus, some abilities have new sound effects for some extra punch!
Preorder Wildermyth's Jumbo Gorgon Plushie!
We've partnered with Makeship again for another limited edition plushie release.
They'll only be made if the campaign is 100% funded, so be sure to order and share so this huggable monster can get home to you! The Gorgon will be available to order from August 25 to September 16.
Order one here!

Rejoice, GOG users- Wildermyth is now available to purchase on GOG! We've been working on this for a while, so we're excited it's available to you all at last.
For the longterm players whose Legacies are bursting with heroes, we heard you; we've made some quality of life updates to the Legacy Browser! You can now filter by legacy tier, class and playability, and search by aspects to help find that one specific hero. We added a hero list view where you can scroll through and search for heroes by name, and set whether or not they're playable more easily. You can also see what past versions of your legacy heroes have looked like (and what companies they've been in), and what heroes will look like when you recruit them in a new campaign! And for those of you tired of seeing your heroes in their 80's and 90's, there's now an age customization option.
As for controller improvements, during missions the controller cursor now snaps to targets rather than needing to move the cursor across the board. (The old functionality is still available by turning off the "Snap Controller Cursor to Ability Targets" interface option)
You'll also find four new events, and all hairs have been updated to fit all heads so there shouldn't be any more wonky barber jobs.
Wildermyth's Future
Phew! That's a lot. What about going forward, though? What can you expect to see from Wildermyth for the rest of 2022 and beyond? You can check out our new roadmap here for those answers!1.8+428 Mara Mallard

It's been one year since we went live with Wildermyth 1.0. In some ways it feels like only yesterday, and in others, it feels like years. Wildermyth has been in development for over six years. To have it released to the world, experienced by others, enjoyed by so many... it's been incredible, humbling, overwhelming at times, and generally just really dang cool.
Thank you. Thank you to everyone who has been here since our early days, those who have been following us since Early Access, and all the players still discovering our game. We have been blown away by your support and love for Wildermyth; you have all truly made the work worth it.
That being said, this isn't the end for Wildermyth! We're still developing really exciting stuff behind the scenes, and we'll have a patch out for you all this month. In the mean time, we put together a list of highlights of all the things we've released in updates over the past 12 months. This list isn't comprehensive- it just covers our most snazzy content. For more minutia, you can check out individual patch notes in their respective update announcement!

We're so excited to bring you 26 new abilities in this update!! Themes and pets now all have unique upgrades that are available to choose when leveling up your hero. We released these abilities early on our unstable branch and received incredible feedback from our community, which we are very grateful for. We were able to make important adjustments, so now we hope that they're going to be even better for you all!
Additionally, Warding has had a big rework. Rather than blocking damage per-hit like armor does, Warding now acts more like Temp Health against magic attacks, and refreshes at the start of each side's turn.
We made this change mostly for the following reasons:
- Magic enemies not being able to damage your high-warding mystic at all felt weird. Having a hero with a lot of resistance is fine, but attacks not dealing any damage at all takes some of the tension out of the gameplay. This was especially visible with things like Thrusks' Etherburn, where even near the start of a campaign, it tends to not do anything at all.
- Not being able to damage high-warding enemies with magic attacks. Especially when facing lower-tier heroes against higher-tier monsters, sometimes magic damage might not be enough to do anything at all, which again, feels bad. This is also true of some theme abilities like Chain Lightning, where the second and third hits are weak enough that they would often feel useless. Now, they'll at least feel like they can be used to soften up the enemies a bit before another magic attack.
This change means it's much more dangerous to be hit by multiple magic attacks in a row, so one unexpected attack can bring you much closer to death than it used to be able to. (We've reduced a lot of enemy magic damage slightly to try and mitigate this)
We've also added two new events and fixed lots of bugs!

Hi all!
We've made a couple pretty significant changes that are live in our unstable branch. We want to get some player feedback before going fully live with them.
Warding has had a big rework. Rather than blocking damage per-hit like armor does, Warding now acts more like Temp Health against magic attacks, and refreshes at the start of each side's turn. We made this change mostly for the following reasons:
* Magic enemies not being able to damage your high-warding mystic at all felt weird. Having a hero with a lot of resistance is fine, but attacks not dealing any damage at all takes some of the tension out of the gameplay. This was especially visible with things like Thrusks' Etherburn, where even near the start of a campaign, it tends to not do anything at all.
* Not being able to damage high-warding enemies with magic attacks. Especially when facing lower-tier heroes against higher-tier monsters, sometimes magic damage might not be enough to do anything at all, which again, feels bad. This is also true of some theme abilities like Chain Lightning, where the second and third hits are weak enough that they would often feel useless. Now, they'll at least feel like they can be used to soften up the enemies a bit before another magic attack.
Some impacts this has on gameplay:
* Warding is now much less useful than it used to be; It's much more dangerous to be hit by multiple magic attacks in a row, so one unexpected attack can bring you much closer to death than it used to be able to. (We've reduced a lot of enemy magic damage slightly to try and mitigate this)
* Focusing single enemies on a turn is _even more_ encouraged than it used to be. Since Warding regenerates at the start of each side's turn, dealing multiple magic attacks in a single turn is the best way to take advantage of this.
We'd like to hear your opinions on these, and whether you like the new system better or worse than how it was previously.
Also, there are a ton of new theme abilities! (Not too much to say about those; let us know how they feel!)

Our friends at Lost Pilgrims have just launched Vagrus - The Riven Realms into full release here on Steam.
Vagrus is a turn-based, open-world, dark fantasy RPG. The game moves out of Early Access with well over a hundred hours of playable content . Vagrus and its haunting world were born from decades of tabletop RPG campaigns played by the founders of Lost Pilgrims, which adds vastly to the games unique atmosphere and the richness of its setting. 
Vagrus is an award-winning roleplaying game with a narrative focus, open-world exploration, and strong elements of strategy. The player takes the role of a vagrus - a caravan leader who strives to survive in a strange and dangerous dark fantasy world by leading a traveling company on all kinds of ventures.
Feature list
- A DARK REALM
A vast realm is yours to explore, filled with unique locations, strange factions, lurking dangers, and a slew of characters you can interact with.
- BRANCHING NARRATIVE
A large selection of longer and shorter stories make up the games narrative in the form of events and quests. The choices you make in these can significantly affect the characters and the world around you.
- TURN-BASED COMBAT
Take part in turn-based, tactical combat that involves your characters and a large variety of enemies, both humanoid and monstrous. Use a range of character skills and abilities to succeed. Fight against outlaws and monsters commanding your whole traveling company in pitched battles for resources.
- RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
Most journeys have to be planned and prepared for carefully, lest they end in disaster. Manage your supplies, cargo, and crew effectively to survive. Take on contracts and follow rumors or trade opportunities.
- UNIQUE COMPANIONS
A wide variety of companions can work for you in versatile caravan roles, such as scoutmaster, guard captain, treasure hunter, or beast handler. Each companion comes with unique combat skills, background stories, and personal quest lines that can upgrade them further when you complete them.
- POWERFUL FACTIONS
Ally yourself with mighty factions that shape the Riven Realms with their influence on commerce, brutal wars, and constant scheming. From prosperous Trading Houses to criminal syndicates and religious organizations, these groups offer powerful rewards and boons to those loyal to their cause. But take heed - befriending a faction will more than likely antagonize others.
Centurion Edition
A special Centurion Edition of Vagrus released alongside the full game. This special edition includes the base game, the original soundtrack, and the Patronage Pack at a special launch price during launch week. Those who already own the base game can also purchase the DLCs individually.Try your hand at Vagrus to see if you can make profit while surviving in the wastelands!

Adjust eagle talisman statsFix bug with legacy hero select scrolling incorrectly
Fix a crash message when customizing at the end of missions
Translation: added
Some typos and text tweaks
For this patch we're rolling out 6 new generic chapters. These will now be in the mix when you start a new generic campaign. There's some really fun fights in there, especially for the final chapters.
In addition we've added better feedback for several dialogs in multiplayer games, so it's more clear what happened when someone makes a choice, and some of these improvements will be visible in single player games too, where it makes sense.
Then there's the usual bug fixes, QoL, and balance tweaks. It almost feels like a regular old patch like we did in early access. Makes me nostalgic a bit.
We've got more in the works, of course. We expect the next patch to be in late October, if all goes well, and we're really excited about it.

Townhall Summary (7/20/2021)
Watch the stream here .Hi everyone! Thank you so much for your encouragement and for following Wildermyths journey. Wildermyth began as a side project that was taken full time over a period of six years, and it was initially intended to be a much smaller game than it became. We have a lot of your burning questions to answer; here are the devs that will be answering them!
Nate is the Lead Developer of Wildermyth. He programs and designs the game.
Annie is the sole artist for Wildermyth and is responsible for all the visuals you see in game.
Patrick is a Programmer and Designer for Wildermyth. He led the call and asked the questions.
Jackson is the Lead QA Tester for Wildermyth, and he also does a variety of other design work.
Doug is the Lead Writer and a Designer for Wildermyth.
Frequently Asked Questions
[u]Are there any plans for new campaigns and monsters?[/u]
Yes! We have a new campaign already mostly written, and new monsters are a possibility. If we dont add an entirely new monster group, well definitely be adding new monsters here and there.
[u]Are there plans to add new races and classes?[/u]
Not really. At this time, we think races are best supported as mods. We will probably not be adding new classes as they require a lot of art and writing. The way our character rigs are built, a new class would mean hundreds of new pieces of art, and it would also mean writing new branching dialogue for nearly every event.
[u]Will Wildermyth be ported to consoles?[/u]
Yes, probably! We are actively looking into it and we have several companies were considering working with. However, it will likely take a very long time- probably a year or so- because the game is written in Java and was built in its own engine.
[u]Will Wildermyth be translated to more languages?[/u]
Yes. Were not ready to announce which languages yet, but were working on it! In the meantime, there are fan translations that are being produced as mods if youre interested.
Fan Questions
[u]Where can we buy your T-shirts?[/u]Nate: We previously sold T-shirts and Spirit Pins at conventions like PAX South, but the pandemic has interrupted that. We have a merch store in the works that will hopefully be ready in a little over a month!
[u]What's something that you wanted to include into the game, but never got to or otherwise couldn't add? Why couldn't you add it?[/u] (Tam Troll)
Jackson: Water! I wish we could have puddles and rivers running through combat maps, lake fights
Nate: Yeah, but water is really demanding graphics wise and it isnt something Im experienced in programming. For me, I wish we could have included Legacy Monsters. Having monsters that come back in a campaign and grow alongside you would have been cool.
Annie: I wish we could have included more body sizes for heroes. I wanted tall heroes, short heroes, chubby heroes, buff heroes but the rigs are very limiting in that they are literally thousands of separate pngs. It would probably take me a year of work just drawing body types alone.
Doug: More events generally would have been great, but we had to release the game at some point.
[u]What's something that you never thought would initially be in the game, but ended up in there anyways?[/u] (Tam Troll)
Annie: We thought we would release the game in early 2016 at the latest now here we are six years later! With that came comics, children and families, and ability upgrades.
Patrick: Villains werent planned, but they really made the game feel like it really came together. We did a poll where people indicated that they were interested in villains, and Im really happy with the way they tie the stories together.
Annie: All of the additions we didnt expect gave us time to polish the entirety of the game, like the overland map and UI.
I[u]f you are planning to expand the game, are you planning to use an Expansion (Bigger chunk) or DLC (smaller) model?[/u] (EinkadottirLoptr)
Nate: Were not sure! Were going to look at new chunks that would work with the game, like a new monster group in a new campaign. DLC would be priced individually, but we also have never done this before, so well figure it out as we go.
[u]How have sales been pre/post 1.0? Are you seeing a lot of new players now that it's out, or did we all get in on it before it hit 1.0?[/u] (Kalisa)
Nate: Sales are real good! Were seeing a ton of new players post 1.0. The biggest update is that where we were unsure in Early Access, were now confident our studio has a future.
[u]Are there any plans to incorporate player-created content into the game proper? Like a player content pack of the best events, etc.? [/u](Rad Cooldude)
Nate: No. However, we love our modders and all that they have done for our game, and we want to continue to highlight those mods on social media and promote them in other ways. Were happy our game is living in the hearts of so many!
[u]What surprised you the most, in terms of development/playerbase 'n things?[/u] (ItsYaBoiiRoan)
Patrick: Combat clarity, especially in regards to mystics interfusion. We worked and reworked the tutorial for how interfusion works, and I have to say: thank you early access streamers!!! Those early streams helped us figure out whether or not we were making interfusion clear enough. It took a long time before we finally got it.
Nate: And the passion of community. We think our game is pretty good so we were hoping for it, but people actually enjoying our game is amazing!
[u]Do the devs have a favorite campaign story or mode of play?[/u] (StorieWriter)
Jackson: Walking Lunch All the Bones of Summer.
Doug: I enjoyed writing Eluna and the Moth and Bones of Summer the most. They were the most in depth and most drilled down to what a character could be. They really explored how deeply you could evolve a character over a campaign, and the characters were just really fun to write. The Mothman, Pyarc, and Thuvayn. But I cant play the game because its so much of my own writing it drives me crazy to look at it.
Annie: Im an unapologetic Adventurer player. Eluna and the Moth is a joy to play. I loved the ending so much! And the last few panels for Ulstryx made me realize- WHOA, the game can be this! Wow! It was a very powerful moment.
Patrick: I have liked each campaign more than the last- its a toss up between the last two; they both hit my heart strings.
[u]I've noticed that the game's setting seems to avoid politics and has no higher authority running things. Is that a space you'd be interested in exploring in the future or is it out of the scope of what Wildermyth is aiming to do?[/u] (civlover)
Doug: Its not out of the scope exactly- cities, kings, and lords could exist absolutely, but we dont have a lot of metropolitan centers on purpose because it makes each hero responsible for so much. There arent any lords telling your heroes what to do and taking the importance and agency away from the heroes. We wanted there to be a personal importance for their quest.We wanted the action and impetus for every story to come from the characters themselves and not from outside forces. The Drauven, Deepists do touch on politics to some degree.
Nate: We didnt want an army to come and rescue the heroes, so no army equals no government structure.
[u]What's your favorite bug that popped up? Best development story?[/u] (The Zombie Penguin)
Jackson: One day I opened the game, went to my legacy, and all of my legacy was naked! It was a surprisingly persistent bug.
Doug: There was a time when placeholder events kept popping up.
Patrick: Yeah, theres a placeholder that keeps coming up now that we need to patch out...
Jackson: Also being the one to answer the emails is stressful sometimes, because Ill get typo reports that arent really typos, just words that Doug has mashed together or intentionally spelled differently.
Annie: The crow-wing hunter blocking stuff in comics. Actually I hate that one. Also heroes waving weapons in each others faces before the de-equip button.
[u]Mystics and the unique form of magic in interfusion has been one of my favorite aspects of this game so far. What kind of thought process inspired it/what sort of development did it have behind the scenes?[/u] (Hero of Wind)
Nate: We went back and forth on this a lot. We always wanted a magic system that was unique, that wasn't just slinging fireballs. When we got to designing combat, we realized that where you stand on the board has to be really important in order for the combat to feel fresh each time. Initially, the randomly placed scenery on combat maps would have no impact on your gameplay, so by forcing you to interact with it, suddenly where youre standing, where the enemy is standing, and what scenery has spawned completely changes how you have to approach that fight.
Annie: Mystics were actually just going to be fire based for a while and only had splinterblast and fire leash at the beginning.
Jackson: I really loved coming in and adding mystic abilities that became more important based on the monster type youre fighting and the monster-specific scenery that spawned.
[u]What has brought you the most joy about the game and/or its release?[/u] (Lamyra)
Annie: The name generator. It was one of the first things we did. Nate started it and Doug filled in data. Timbertimbers made us laugh.
Nate: Peoples favorite hero submissions. I love seeing the history and stories players craft for them.
Jackson: Getting to test new monsters and the music! Shout out to Candy and Elise, our composer and sound designer. They do incredible stuff.
Doug: The audio really brings the world to life. Its really exciting and rewarding.
Annie: Candy will make a concept piece, Doug would write about a place the music invoked, I would draw the monster that would live there, then Patrick, Nate, and Jackson would figure out what the monster does, then Doug writes the story for it, then Candy has to write boss music for that we feed off of each other. Its such a cool process.
Patrick: Watching streamers. Prior to 1.0, Im pretty sure I watched ALL streams of Wildermyth on Twitch and YouTube. I cant anymore, but I LOVE watching people play Wildermyth.
Jackson: I have such a hard time watching because Im terrified theyll find a game breaking bug I didnt catch.
Annie: Yeah, what if we wrote a joke they didnt think was funny?
Patrick: I love watching people react when they get the wolf head transformation for the first time. Thank you, streamers, youre awesome!!
[u]I'd be curious to know about the artistic influences in terms of the games Art styles.[/u] (Kadayi)
Annie: Secret of Kells and the shapes that they use. Windwaker also- some smoke particles may just be straight up ripped from it, haha. The way they use spirals and hand drawn figures to keep it simple, lineart looking, not too complicated, harmonious as a whole, I love. And Samurai Jack! Their backgrounds are gorgeous and have beautiful textures. The intentionally limited color palettes and great silhouettes inspire me too. I of course have all the assets that I make, but watching Doug turn them into comics is awesome. I dont turn my art into comics unless I write them, so watching the art assets be resized, recolored, tinted, and the layouts become more interesting is really cool to watch.
[u]Will you be selling the game soundtrack on Steam[/u]? (Miyokari)
Nate: Yes! It is in progress. Candy, our composer, is getting our soundtrack together and recorded live (as a result of our Kickstarter), and that will be for sale when its done.
[u]Is adding in more "classes" via new skills a more viable option than straight up new classes?[/u]
Nate: Yes, and some mods have already explored that! If youre interested in them, you can check out our Steam Workshop where there are some awesome mods from people like Smoker and Davea.
[u]How has success changed your look at future development for Wildermyth?[/u]
Nate: It means we can keep doing this! We have the ability to keep our studio running and creating new, exciting things.
[u]On the writing side, was it difficult to write the stories while having to leave so much up to [insert here] modifiers vs being able to write more detailed and specific stories?[/u]
Doug: Was it difficult? It was pretty difficult! Back in the day, they were just going to be just FTL like, only a paragraph and a couple of choices. Then we started thinking, what if we had personalities that change choices and dialogue? Its difficult. You have to keep interlacing the same ideas with that trait. Its interesting and complex and challenging. But fun and cool! And its definitely enabled by Nate and Patricks work.
[u]Is there a sub button, patreon or somewhere we can support?[/u]
Nate: Not right now- but a merch store is coming! We need to figure out logistics, so another month or so for now. That will be the best way to support us when it comes (besides playing the game).
[u]Doug- Your prose is often a delight to read, very poetic. what influences do you borrow from? it's very reminiscent of old germanic and celtic verse, especially the heavy usage of kennings, but i'm curious if there are more modern works or authors you would cite as inspirations.[/u]
Doug: Youre absolutely right with Germanic and Celtic. Anglo Saxon poetry and the use of alliteration especially inspires me. Seamus Heaney Translation of Beowulf and Sir Gawain and the Green Knight are huge influences on me. I enjoy the sonic effect of the poetry when you recite it.
Miyazaki films are also huge points of inspiration. Jean Giono's Joy of Mans Desiring is just beautiful.
Rick Bass is a great short story writer who got me more into contemporary fiction. As for fantasy writers, Patrick Rothfuss, Naomi Novik, and Joe Abercrombie are some favorites. Oh, and W.B. Yeats poetry was a huge inspiration for Eluna and the Moth.
[u]How did this team come together at the first days of Wildermyth?[/u]
Nate: It started as a side project. We were working professionally as game devs, then did a game jam with Doug, Katie, Isaac (Austin), Nate, and Annie. Doug, Katie, Isaac and me are all siblings. We worked on a different game for the jam, then started talking about the game we really wanted to make.
Annie: We played a LOT of Xcom, Descent: Journeys in the Dark, and D&D, and wed find ourselves having to fill in character details and stories. We wanted our game to inherently tell stories!
[u]Are there any plans for more generation interactions between characters? Such as grandparents to grandchildren or even further descendants?[/u] (Abarnath)
Nate: That would be cool! Maybe. The game isnt really set up for family trees. The multiple timelines inherent with Legacy makes it difficult. We could maybe incorporate Grandparents, but anything further we would probably save to explore for another game.
[u]In terms of updates, what is the main focus of the future, ex storylines, campaigns, armor/weapons?[/u](Parli99)
Nate: More events, one more campaign, balancing, and more content, like additional weapons as they show up in events. Maybe more armor, maybe a third tier? Well see where it takes us. Well announce more as we go!
[u]Have you thought of a possible pvp type of mode for those that enjoy pvp stuff?[/u]
Jackson: I want it MASSIVELY. It would be so cool.
Nate: Its not impossible! I dont think it will be the main draw to the game but one player playing as the monsters and one playing as the heroes would be fun.
Annie: Gorgons versus Morthagi would be the ultimate battle.
Nate: NO PROMISES.
Patrick: Nate added multiplayer on April Fools Day, and we never expected it to be as popular as it is. Its not as good as the rest of the game yet- we have to make it better.
[u]How much feedback comes back through the F11 menu vs other methods? do you find some methods better than others?[/u]
Jackson: A LOT. PLEASE use F11, its the best way to get us your logs and info! Also please include your email so we can get back to you about your specific issue! But we also get bugs in Discord and Steam.
Nate: Its hard to keep up with Discord and Steam now, but we do look at all of it.
[u]In broad strokes, are you thinking game 2 is similar to Wildermyth or something completely different?[/u]
Nate: We dont know exactly yet. Whatever we do it will probably be procedurally narrative; it seems to be something people want more of. We dont have any ideas to announce yet. It could be fun to try something different, but we shall see.
[u]Any thoughts on things like deities, religion, demon kings, gods, etc in the game, possibly as a over-arching plots or related?[/u] (ArmedDreams)
Doug: There are definitely thoughts on it! Deepists are a religious cult. It sounds like an enemy group to me, which could be fun. It could be explored potentially, theres room for almost anything in Wildermyth.
[u]Has there been anything added by a mod so far that you wish you thought of first/didn't expect so soon?[/u] (janja5)
Nate and Annie: Hats!
[u]Do any of you play board games like Gloomhaven or Pandemic Legacy or D&D/TTRPG?[/u]
Jackson: Im pretty sure every person here plays D&D regularly or semi-regularly.
Nate: The games mentioned earlier and Betrayal at the House on the Hill.
Doug: HeroQuest holds a special place in my heart. Also Magic: the Gathering.
[u]What is the concept of Legacy?[/u]
Doug: I think of Legacy as less about turning back time and more about a parallel narrative. Its like creating Tall Tales about your characters, like Johnny Appleseed and Paul Bunyan. There are stories that conflict, but are also true simultaneously. The Legacy system is kind of about replicating the multiple conflicting/coexisting narratives that exist in folklore concerning legendary figures and characters.
Nate: Who is the one true Baba Yaga? You cant answer that question. Legacy is like that.
THANK YOU SO MUCH for coming with us and supporting us on the journey. Its a dream come true having so much support. Its been an amazing experience, and one heck of a ride. Well let you know when theres more to announce. In the meantime, happy adventuring!
We'll be answering questions from discord and discussing the state of the game, the studio, and what's next.
Starts at 3pm Eastern / 12 Pacific / 7pm GMT:
Live on twitch!
Come hang out!
On Tuesday, July 20th at 3pm Eastern / 12pm Pacific / 7pm GMT, The Wildermyth devs will be doing a live stream on twitch and here on our store page!
We'll be giving an update on the state of the game and the studio, and our future plans (such as they are!) We'll also be taking your questions! If you have a question, you can ask it in our Discord in the #townhall-questions channel .
Drop by and help us celebrate our successful launch!!

Official Stream Here!
We're super excited to have Nookrium streaming Wildermyth today! He was one of the first streamers to pick up the game, and we're happy to have him back for our launch.
Wildermyth has reached 1.0! That doesn't mean we're all done, but it does mean we think it's a complete game and we won't be making big changes to the structure of it. We're coming out of Early Access, and we have a huge patch to celebrate, as well as some awesome content creators who will be working with us through launch week while the game is on sale.
Here's what we're shipping:
All the Bones of Summer
A five chapter campaign focused on Drauven. This story follows both human and Drauven heroes over the span of the campaign. It's complex and beautiful and we're extremely proud of it.
Achievements!
Over 50 achievements have been added to the game. Each achievement unlocks a piece of concept art or a theme skin. You can browse your achievements in the legacy browser or on Steam.Theme Skins
Some themes now have skins that can be unlocked with achievements. Theme skins are cosmetic variants, and once unlocked, they can be chosen in the customize section in the character sheet.Ability Upgrades
When a hero levels up, they will now often see 4 choices instead of 3. The 4th choice is for upgrading an existing class ability or theme attack. This is a very big change to how heroes are built, and we think it will allow players to be more intentional with their builds, and differentiate heroes more.
Generic Campaign Chapters
We've revamped our generic campaigns, and it's a huge improvement!
Now instead of seeing generic events, each chapter will have an omen, capstone, and victory events that fit together, with a custom capstone mission. Some chapters also include custom keystone missions. These chapters will be mixed together to create a whole campaign. Some are monster specific, and some work for any monsters, but they all have unique battle maps and stories that match what's going on in the overall campaign.Right now there are over 20 chapters in the game, with several more on the way.
Ok that's a lot of stuff!
Launch Week Schedule
Tuesday: NookriumWednesday: Penny Arcade Acquisitions Inc. C Team
Thursday: ReformistTM
Friday: Paul Soares Jr
Saturday: Seri! Pixel Biologist
Sunday: Blind IRL & friends
The Future
We're super proud of making it this far, but Wildermyth can keep growing. We'll be taking some time to evaluate our best course of action, and we'll make an announcement when we have a firmer idea of what our next steps will be. As always, we will be listening to feedback and fixing bugs. Thank you so much for coming with us on our journey!-The Wildermyth Team

Our 1.0 release is just 8 days away.
As part of our launch patch we have some big gameplay changes, which we are rolling out today on our "unstable" beta branch. If you want to take a look and give us feedback, we'd appreciate it.
We will *NOT* be including the new Drauven campaign or achievement features in this preview, and there may be some bugs, so be warned!
NOTE: these changes are ONLY on the unstable branch. They will go live when 1.0 ships on June 15.
1.0 Spoilers Below:
[spoiler]
Generic Campaign Rework
We've revamped our generic campaigns, and it's a huge improvement!Now instead of seeing generic events, each chapter will have an omen, capstone, and victory events that fit together, with a custom capstone mission. Some chapters also include custom keystone missions. These chapters will be mixed together to create a whole campaign. Some are monster specific, and some work for any monsters, but they all have unique battle maps and stories that match what's going on in the overall campaign.
Over 25 "chapters" are planned for launch, and most of those are working today.
Ability Upgrades are here!
When a hero levels up, they will now often see 4 choices instead of 3. The 4th choice is for upgrading an existing class ability or theme attack. This is a very big change to how heroes are built, and we think it will allow players to be more intentional with their builds, and differentiate heroes more.As part of this, we've made some balance changes. In particular, we're halving the base scaling of theme attacks, but we now allow you to pick an ability which doubles the scaling (to where it used to be) as well as adding +1 base damage to that attack. So theme limbs won't be as good "out of the box", but they can keep up if you invest in an ability. Check out the full changelist below for details.
Mortal Choices and Final Moments
Wildermyth handles Death and Injury in a unique way, and we're leaning in to that. In place of our old plain mortal choices, we're rolling out a large number of more specific events. These events depend on the character and the situation, and give the hero one last chance to shine. Some updated Mortal Choices have been showing up in recent patches, and we're releasing many more today.In addition to the Mortal Choices you know and love(?), we're adding Final Moment events, which occur when a character is not eligible to fall back. These give the hero some final words and sometimes offer a choice, although it's never a good choice. (The point isn't to make the death mechanically powerful, only memorable.)
Here's the full changeset:
1.0 Preview Build
Generic Campaign Events and Maps! (~20 chapters done, more coming)Many more Mortal Choices added

I'm having a hard time typing this. We finally have a date.
It's been a long road for Wildermyth, and there's more to come, too, but we are now ready to call it complete. We'll be launching on June 15 with another full campaign focused on Drauven, improved Generic Campaign support, Steam Achievements, and hopefully some other fun stuff.
During launch week we'll be running a discount and we have some fun streams lined up as well.
We are incredibly thankful to everyone who played the game in early access and helped us improve it. It absolutely would not have been possible to make this game without you.
Moving forward, we hope to keep working on improving the game past 1.0. Our roadmap is here and you can see there are a few items there marked for future releases.
Much Love,
-Nate and the Wildermyth Team

We're delivering 3 Roadmap items in this patch!
Drauven have been reworked with a bunch of new and terrible (for the heroes) abilities. The centerpiece of this is Drauven Blood, which now grants regeneration to all Drauven (but not e.g. terror birds). Because they can regenerate, Drauven want to slow fights down, and so many of their new abilities are about thwarting the heroes' ability to burst them. We think this will make a big difference in how they feel to fight.
We're also delivering a new Legacy Browser environment with some filtering features. We'll have some new music in here in a future patch but it's already a much more pleasant place to find your favorites.
We're also removing the experimental tag for multiplayer along with some improvements to the player experience, especially when playing with mods. The "Always on mods" concept has been simplified so that now they can be turned on and off per game.
We're getting pretty close to announcing a launch date, which is extremely exciting for us as a team. It's been a journey and a half! As part of that, we've updated the roadmap to better reflect exactly what we expect to ship with 1.0, and what will likely slip to a 1.1 or 1.2 update. You can find our roadmap here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/10VFbL6EYAvJRgR-hoJimuxUCSh7VoLfXba0fTXSHhH4/edit
As we run up to launch our regular patch schedule will most likely be interrupted, but we'll of course continue to communicate and address bugs as needed.

Were reaching out to let everyone know our official pricing for the games upcoming launch: $25 (USD, or your local equivalent). We feel that this reflects the scope of the game at this point and will help us fuel future development -- which we plan to continue with added features, new campaigns, and more in the coming months. Well be making this price change on May 1 in advance of the games launch -- well be announcing the official launch date soon.
Were SO excited that were approaching our official launch. Everyone who has supported the game, followed along in the early days on itch.io, provided feedback on our Steam Early Access release, backed our soundtrack initiative on Kickstarter, or hopped onto our Discord has been instrumental in helping us shape Wildermyth so far. THANK YOU.
Were planning to hold a Launch Week celebration featuring live streams and videos and a special launch discount. More details on this soon, so stay tuned for our official launch date announcement!
Until then, keep telling your best stories.
Sincerely,
The team at Worldwalker Games
Following through on our experimental multiplayer, we've added steam networking integration, compression, and generally cleaned up the connecting process. There are some nice improvements for local/remote play as well, and a tweak to the art for one of our very oldest transformations, the venerable wolf head.
We're still hard at work on the next campaign, and a couple of other big chunks of content, so don't worry if things seem a little quiet on that front. We have some awesome stuff in the works :-)
We aim to ship every 2-3 weeks and our roadmap is here .

Players have been asking for multiplayer for a while, so we did the only reasonable thing, which was to release it on April Fool's day without any prior indication. It's still missing a few quality of life features, like steam matchmaking / friend list integration, so the process is a bit old-school right now, but it does work and it is fun!
Wildermyth is, first and foremost, a game about heroes, their adventures, the choices they make, and how they change and grow over time. Since heroes are highly customizable, a lot of players have been making them look like their friends, and then letting their friends make decisions about those heroes' abilities and the choices they make. We love the idea that Wildermyth can be a kind of Dungeons & Dragons-esque storytelling device for groups of players, and the way we've implemented multiplayer attempts to make that form of collaboration easier (and, hopefully, more fun!)
The multiplayer mode we've added to Wildermyth is cooperative, and the overall structure is the same as the single player game. You can start a single player game and continue it later in multiplayer, or vice versa. The main difference is that multiple players can control heroes at the same time. Actions can still only happen one at a time, but one player can be planning to move a hero while another is planning to attack with a different hero. By default, any player can control any hero, but there are also some options to give players exclusive control over heroes, so only they can decide their abilities and what actions they take. There's a lot of visual feedback to help show what other players are hovering over, both in missions, on the overland, and during comics.
We've also enabled Steam Remote Play! With controller support implemented, local multiplayer is a little more possible. It still needs some refinement, and it's not quite as extensive as online multiplayer; if you're playing with controllers, each player can have their own cursor, but everyone is controlling the same heroes and actions, so you'll need to decide amongst your friends which of you is going to take control at any given moment. Or, if you have a really well-behaved group of friends, you can just give them all mouse and keyboard access.
It's fun watching all the interesting ways this game has brought players together. We're hoping that continues to be the case, and we'll try to help it along in whatever ways we can. We expect to release a smoother connection experience pretty soon, along with other tweaks and bugfixes as we go.
And we're back with another small patch. We've had a few hotfixes along the way so these change notes are pretty short, but there's some good stuff in there, check it out!
We aim to ship every two to three weeks and our roadmap is here .

This time we're continuing to iterate on incursions and how they fit in the overall overland gameplay. We felt they were still too tedious, and were not quite doing what we wanted, so we made some more changes. Notably, the frequency of incursions should go way down, particularly at high difficulties in later chapter. Incursions will start with a larger "size," but fights have been rebalanced to be about the same as before in terms of difficulty. This makes incursions more of a threat on the overland, but a less frequent threat. We've got some other tweaks in there as well. Let us know how it plays!
"Remembered Places" is a fun little thing we're doing now. After some memorable encounters, a little map feature will show on the world map, so you can remember what happened there. In addition, we have some meaty new events this time, and a handful of bugfixes and other tweaks.
We aim to ship every two to three weeks and our roadmap is here .

Chinese localization tweaks
We've made some big changes to our overland gameplay! A big goal of ours over the next few patches is to make the overland layer feel more strategically interesting, less tedious, and more personal / story-relevant. We're starting off by redesigning how incursions work.
Incursions
Enemies no-longer reoccupy sites. Instead, incursions have an Incursion Size based on difficulty, chapter, and infested tiles. The incursion travels from tile to tile, destroying defenses and sacking sites (losing size each time) until their size reaches 0, at which point they disappear. The larger the size, the tougher the fight will be!
Defenses
Defenses work differently. You can build up to 3 tiers of defense, with higher tiers taking longer. Incursions will destroy a number of sites or defenses up to their size, so tier 3 defenses will completely stop a size 3 incursion. When an incursion reaches a tile with defenses, it will take several days for it to burn through each tier, so defenses also give you more time to respond.
Incursion Defense Battles
We felt these were boring. They are now faster and more hectic; you'll be surrounded by monsters coming from multiple directions. Another big change is that you'll be joined by local farmers, who will pitch in to defend their land. If you start the battle with defenses remaining, you'll benefit from those in the fight.Town Crafting
You can now craft items during the chapter, instead of only during intervals. We've adjusted the resource economy a bit to make this more feasible, and as part of the change you can also spend legacy points to purchase extra resources when crafting. On the other hand, recruits now come in with slightly worse weapons.
We want your feedback! This is a big change, and we'd love to hear what you think about it. What's working and what's not?
And of course we have the usual raft of small changes. We aim to ship every 2-3 weeks, although we've been slow lately. Check out our roadmap here .

* Farmers gain better gear based on level of tile defenses

Chinese event textAdjust some art assets
Fix broken saves when mountain pass in progress
Fix a rare broken save with carved, spirit capture
There's a new way to play Wildermyth. You can now select "Carved in Stone" when starting a new game. This is similar to "ironman" or "commitment mode" in other games - there's only one save file, and no option to load. Quit is replaced by "Save and Quit." It's not on by default, but it's there for those who want it!
We've also added a way to view your unlocked legacy weapons from the legacy browser and the in-game menu, and have made some balance changes to abilities.
On the Tools front, we've done a lot of work to make the comic editor more accessible. We've simplified and improved the event setup process, removed irrelevant fields from the editor, and improved feedback. We also tried to make a more comprehensive guide on getting started with the comic editor tools, which can be found here . We'd love to hear from anyone who wants to make comics, where are your stumbling blocks?
In the background, we're also working on some other roadmap items, achievements and controller support specifically. Neither of these is ready yet. Achievements might not be ready until we get close to launch.
Now that the holidays are over, we will aim to get back to our regular cadence, and ship a patch every 2-3 weeks. Our roadmap is here . As you can see we're getting to the final segment of stuff! We're really excited about reaching 1.0.

We've got some real nice stuff this time. We've reworked all the "unique" weapons, added tiers for them so they can persist over the legacy, and made them special with stats and/or abilities. So now you don't have to give up that cool-looking Fang Axe or Clockstopper when you unlock an elemental variant, because now they should be viable on their own.
We've made some visual changes to the overland map, to make the tiles more consistent with the mission environments, and to tie together the overall art style of various elements.
And we've upgraded our tooling. We've added an Item Editor, and greatly enhanced our Map Editor. If you've ever wanted to make a custom fight, this is a great time to take a look. Here's a video showing you how to use the new editor:
Normally we try to patch every 2-3 weeks, but with the holidays, we expect our patch schedule will suffer a bit. Our next big priorities are generic campaigns and achievements, and at some point we'd like to take a look at overland gameplay too. You can find our roadmap here .

Some exciting stuff that's been in progress for a while finally came together in this patch. We have 9 new monsters, each of the 5 monster groups get 2 (except Gorgons who only get 1). These are mostly high-end monsters, so they extend the range of difficulty, and we've put some effort into making the game harder when you have 20+ calamities per group. (Note, we're ONLY trying to increase the difficulty when you have many calamities, so this shouldn't affect players who are not seeking out punishment.) We're definitely looking for feedback from our Walking Lunch, high calamity players about how that's working out and how we can go further with it.
With the addition of these new monsters, we've added 5-chapter Legacy Campaigns. Legacy campaigns let you start with legacy heroes, and you'll get more during intervals. For the 5-chapter experience, we've left interval length alone, so heroes will start to retire in the later chapters. Let us know what you think!
New Music! We've got several new story-oriented pieces that we've fit into our existing events. Stories will now have music that matches and reinforces their emotional tone, and we're really happy about that.
In addition, there's several new and reworked events, some reworked monsters, and a bunch of tweaks and fixes.
We aim to ship every 2-3 weeks and our roadmap is here .

0.29+210 Eluna and the Moth Hotfix 1
Fix a bug where starting siblings could form a romanceWe're very excited to announce our fourth main campaign, "Eluna and the Moth." This is the most the intricately crafted experience we've ever delivered, and we're very proud of it. This story focuses on the Thrixl, and it mixes up the usual Wildermyth formula in some big ways.
To fit with the story, the first chapter takes a more directed approach with less overland management. Many of the battles and events throughout the campaign happen at less expected points. The campaign happens over a smaller span of time, allowing your starting heroes to make it all the way to the end. Because of that, we were able to integrate them into the story from start to finish - if they survive, that is.
Also in this patch are several new victory events, a few new faces, and the regular raft of bug fixes and tweaks.
We aim to ship a patch every two to three weeks, and our roadmap is here .

There are only a few days left on the Kickstarter campaign to record our soundtrack with live players! It ends at 4pm PDT (23:00 UTC) on Thursday, October 8th. We're currently over 97% funded!
Candy Emberley, our composer, has been sharing a wide range of content with backers each day, including interviews with musicians and the Wildermyth team, stories behind the creation of the music, and playlists of her musical inspirations.
Kickstarter is an all-or-nothing platform - you will only be charged at the end of the campaign if we reach our goal. Even if you aren't able to contribute, we really appreciate you sharing the campaign with anyone who might be interested!
Why is this important to us?
We want Wildermyth's players to have the best possible experience, and live music is a big part of that. Wildermyth is an emotional game that really asks its players to connect to their characters, and the expression, nuance, and warmth of live music fosters that kind of connection. Were really excited to meet this Kickstarter goal and make the music of Wildermyth come alive.What's in it for you?
There are some great rewards for backers, including: a copy of the soundtrack, a limited edition enamel pin, a unique music box, music lessons with Candy, custom D&D character artwork in the Wildermyth style, and an event in the game. Details about all the rewards are available on the campaign page .How does this affect development?
The kickstarter is unrelated to regular development, and the two things are handled by different people, so the roadmap won't be affected.A listening party!
Candy will be hosting a listening party on Tuesday, October 6th, at 6pm PDT (Wednesday, October 7th, 01:00 UTC) over at https://twitch.tv/candycomposer. She'll be playing pieces from the Wildermyth soundtrack, including works as they were in progress and some music that isn't implemented in the game yet! Come on by whether you're a backer or not, and bring your friends!Thank you for your support!
We truly couldn't do this without you, so thank you so much!We've shipped a series of small patches, mostly to update our Chinese localization in response to feedback. (Thanks!!) There are also a couple bug fixes and, excitingly, some new hair style options coming along for the ride!

Fix a bug where text would vanish with certain language / OS settings
(The sale will go live a few hours after this announcement does, 10 AM Pacific, 1 AM in China, sorry for the inconvenience.)
We're extremely happy to announce that Wildermyth now supports Simplified Chinese. We've been working with our partners over the last several months to make this happen, and it's finally ready. To celebrate, we'll be discounting the game by 20% for a week. This is a major milestone for us as a team and it's great news for the future of this game.
We're still in early access, and we'll be listening to your feedback on the Chinese version of the game in order to make sure it's a great experience.
We had hoped to be able to ship the new Thrixl campaign, "Eluna and the Moth," at the same time, but it's not quite ready so we're holding it back until we're happy with it. It's progressing very well and that's the main reason we haven't been putting out a lot of other content lately. It's close, and some of the Thrixl balance changes you're seeing in the patch notes are because of our playtesting on that campaign.
We've been off our game a bit this month, but generally we aim to ship a patch every 2-3 weeks, and our roadmap is here .

After more than 6 months of hard work, we are happy to announce that the Simplified Chinese version is finally close to ready.
We are still testing the build, but we're confident about releasing the Chinese version on September 24th.
Here's some screenshots until then :-)
See you on 24th!

The Wildermyth OST Kickstarter is live!
We are raising funds to record the soundtrack with live instruments. Right now the music is made with sample libraries. Recording with live instruments will bring a warmth and life to the music that will dramatically enhance the playing experience. We want our players to have the best possible experience!
We have some great rewards for our backers, including a copy of the soundtrack, a limited edition pin, a music box, music lessons, custom artwork, a D&D session run by the composer, a custom event in the game, and producer credit! Detailed information about the project and each reward is available on the campaign page .
Throughout the campaign we'll be sharing lots of things with backers - profiles on the performers and team members of Wildermyth, behind the scenes information about some of the music that's been written, some info about our composer's writing process and setup, and milestone celebrations. We look forward to sharing these things and more with you!
Kickstarter is an all-or-nothing platform - you will only be charged at the end of the campaign if we reach our goal. Thank you so much for your support!

This patch crosses some important long-term work off our list, introduces some minor gameplay changes, and polishes up a few little things.
We now have an undo system in missions. The intent is to let you undo a move if you misclick. You get two uses per mission. You can only undo move actions, not attacks, and you can only undo if the move doesn't kill your character or cause a retreat. Total undos are tracked and displayed at the end of the game. (You can still just load your game whenever you want, too, of course.)
We've also change legacy recruitment at towns. Now instead of being able to pick from your whole roster at each town, each town will have a random selection. We're making sure that some high-tier and some low-tier legacy heroes are at each town. This integrates legacy heroes better into the story (you're "finding" them at this town instead of pulling them from a catalog) and also opens up more fun ways to find and recruit them during events.
We've been making great progress on our first translation (Chinese) and as part of that we have some tech improvements that will benefit other languages too, including a translator credit that shows per-event.
The Thrixl campaign is also coming along well, we hope to have more news on that soon!
We aim to ship a patch every 2-3 weeks and you can find our roadmap here .
