Content update #4 is now live! Just in time for the end of the month.

We noticed the most popular type of map in skirmish has been 2v2, so this time we have a new 4-player map called Lubaans!

A large central lake divides players, only allowing approaches from the sides. Players can be divided along a short defensible or a long open path.

Also in this update we’ve added a much-requested feature: multi-queuing. When you have several of the same unit production buildings selected, units will be queued from both. More quality-of-life features are to come in future updates.

As usual, the content is accompanied by various fixes and improvements. Among those are some balance changes which we added after talking to our Discord community.


Features:

• New map: Lubaans, a 4 player map with a central lake.
  
• Multi-queueing in military buildings, it divides units to the same type of building.
  
• Enemy AI now falls back when the attack party only has healers.
  
• Spigana basic attack moved to hotkey spot Q, for manual bombardment funtimes.
  
• We decided to remove godpower blocking zones for now. We introduced them last update, but have not seen them improve the game. For now they were too confusing and laden with issues. We will look into making the shrine itself survive more godpower punishment next patch or update.
  
• Raider Throwing Nets do not target other already-netted units.

Fixes:

• Towers now retarget when enemies walk outside of their targeting range. This previously caused the towers to sometimes stop shooting.
  
• Attempt to fix text blurriness issues. This appears to be an unexpected challenge, and we will monitor the result of these changes. Please let us know if this becomes better or worse for you with this update.
  
• Glyphs clear when changing to a hero who is not compatible with them.
  
• Hunter worshippers now shoot at deer instead of world 0 0 0 location. Aim for the deer, buddies, you can do it.
  
• Saule’s Solar Ray animation should play without delay now. A custom animation will be added later.
  
• All army UI counter has been improved, but still needs some issues ironed out.
  
• Attempting to fix Pukis zero health invincibility bug. We were not able to repro this, so we are aiming in the dark. Please report if you keep seeing this issue or have an idea on how to reproduce it.
  
• Fixed typo in Amber Ward upgrade description.
  
• Fixed description of Giltine’s Kiss, it no longer states that it deals foul damage.
  
• Fix for networking where units kept sending unnecessary commands many times over; this should improve networking performance.
  
• Catapults now display their damage amount in the tooltip.
  
• Golden Apple Tree now plays the correct sound when spawned.

=============== Hotfix #2 =====================
====== Version Early Access 0.1.17192258 ==========

We noticed some damage targeting issues after the Ruhnu update due to the new shrine godpower denial zone. At the same time we looked at the cursor targeting for bigger skill casts.

Fixes:

• The shrine zone that blocks godpowers does not block damage anymore.
  
• AoE spells that target the ground no longer have their targeter get blocked by units/buildings.
  
• AoE spells that target the ground no longer snap to units and buildings when they shouldn’t.
  
• Ausrine is included in Ragana’s Trinket glyph.

Balance:

• Ausrine Attraction upgraded damage has been lowered to 50.

Please let us know if you encounter any more targeting issues in regards to the blocking zones.

Content update #3 is here! We had originally planned to release it in July, but both of us got sick, causing a bit of a delay. It's here now, and we hope you have fun with it!

In this update there is a new type of co-op challenge map called Guardians of Ruhnu!

Defend the small island of Ruhnu from attacks landing in waves using only your hero. There are rumors of bear sightings. Recommended to play in a group.

This map is what you could call an RPG mode: there is no basebuilding and you do not control worshippers. You start with only your hero and have a slightly modified ability roster to fit this gameplay style. Try to survive 30 waves of enemies while defending the people and buildings of Ruhnu. This mode is best enjoyed together with friends, but play nice and share the resource pickups that spawn on the map. There’s also 2 glyphs to find that should help you complete the map.

This map also comes with 2 achievements.

As always, there’s a whole bunch of tweaks and fixes based on community feedback.

Features:

• New achievement for completing Guardians of Ruhnu on insane difficulty.
  
• New achievement for recruiting the bear on Ruhnu island.
  
• New glyph: Affixed, reduces respawn time of heroes by 30 seconds.
  
• New glyph: Summon Bear, allows summoning of a bear for a food cost.

• The Raider torch throw now has a custom throw animation.
  
• A new upgrade for Saule can be made in the Gathering Hut, granting +1 yield on Gathering Huts and Farmsteads.
  
• Tweaked some player colors slightly to be more distinct from each other.
  
• There is now a message when a player is sent resources from another player.

Fixes:

• Snapping logic has been rewritten, fixing abilities ending up under bridges, and other height related issues such as floating cows.
  
• Flooding Light no longer multiplies its effect per unit in the target area. To compensate, the heal has been upped to 400 health.

=============== Patch #3 =====================
====== Version Early Access 0.1.16151645 ==========

We've had this patch in Unstable branch testing for more than a week, but we kept noticing issues and adding more fixes.
But it's here now! The much-awaited Skybull change is here.



Features:

• Added a framerate cap of 60 on the startup loading screen. (a small bit before the loading actually begins is still uncapped, it's on the list to address)
  
• Health bars do not segment past the count of 12 to avoid clutter.
  
• Better unit positioning while attacking buildings, especially against small/round buildings such as walls and shrines.
  
• AI now queues units like players do, so the overall AI difficulty might decrease a bit. Will balance as necessary in future patches.
  
• Additional loading screen tip about sharing resources, units and buildings.
  
• Building placement ring now also colors red when not allowed to place it.
  
• Control group interface element now reflects the group count and removes itself when no unit remains.
  
• Optimized particle effect spawning to be more performant using pooling (just in time for summer?). This should cause less framerate drops.
  
• Various other performance optimizations. Aiming to make Siege of Lennewarden not drop the performance like a brick.

Fixes:

• Fixed some spelling mistakes and improved the text for the menus/lobby and the map descriptions. Further text improvements are being worked on.
  
• Increased the timeout timer from 5 to 10 seconds, hopefully this helps some of you who suffer from mid game disconnections.
  
• Fixed tiny gaps in walls where units would sometimes get stuck.
  
• Fixed units sometimes getting stuck in Selonia, near the bandit camp east of the shrine in the upper area.
  
• Hotkey buttons using characters such as "," will be shown as such, not as "Co".
  
• Glyphs no longer stay active after disabling them in Custom Game options.
  
• Fixed a memory leak. On the lookout for any other ones.
  
• Teammate hero UI has a slight update delay in case the data has not been received yet due to latency.
  
• Moving players up and down in the lobby will now update the team numbers correctly.
  
• We have atoned for our code sins, Atonement damage now matches its visual radius, while it was double before.
  
• Fixed defeat/victory screen buttons.
  
• Fixed that sometimes the Tower garrison would not assign correctly.

Campaign:

• Fixed an issue where skipping cutscenes would cause the Esc key to stop working.
  
• Cutscene skipping in Siege of Lennewarden no longer causes multiple waves to spawn.
  
• Skip can no longer be double skipped. Cutscene skipping can no longer be activated double, causing events to trigger twice.
  
• In Bishop's Bane, the AI ally will not steal the berries/deer nearby.
  
• The campaign Wolf Den is more aggressive.
  
• Siege of Lennewarden pop cap set to 100.
  
• We stopped horsing around and now the Usinsh glyph has a delay in mission 3, to avoid spawning him while he is still there.
  
• In A Union Divided, a tower that was causing some units to get stuck has been moved to avoid it happening (the stuck issue will be looked into separately).
  
• Bear-Slayer has been given voice lines shared from the Tribesman, and the correct campaign line.
  
• The Hansa merchants have been made louder.
  
• In Bishop's Bane, the Sky Calf quest marker no longer shows during the cutscene before it.

Balance:

• The Skybull no longer pushes enemies. No more stunlock cow. Instead it causes the freezing status effect (20% slower speed, armor becomes brittle and is reduced by -2).
  
• Gabija's Fire Spirits damage slightly reduced to prevent two-tapping an enemy shrine.
  
• Gabija's Fire Spirits can't be accumulated, you need to explode them all to summon new ones.
  
• Witch base damage increased from 18 to 23.
  
• Avenging Angel cost lowered from 280 to 225 faith.
  
• Pukis gold wealth cost reduced from 80 to 60.

• Order walls are now unlocked at tier 2, not tier 3.
  
• Food cost of Nurses reduced from 130 to 90.
  
• Neutral camps with 2 marauders/ 1 tribesman have been changed to 1 marauder/ 1 tribesman. Clubbing is over.
  
• Michael has been buffed with +100 HP, +4 magic resistance and + 1 armor.
  
• Sergeants cost lowered from 125 to 100 wealth.
  
• Jug of Light health regen increased from 0.5 to 1.
  
• Fern Flower can no longer be refunded like a building.

In the meanwhile, we are also working on additional features and content.

We are reading all reports and feedback, and are working to bring out more patches whenever we can. Keep an eye out.

We are reading all reports and feedback, and are working to bring out more patches whenever we can. Keep an eye out.

Hey everyone, thank you all for playing or wishlisting the game!

Over the last week, we have been reading all the feedback and thinking about what we have planned for Early Access. Before the launch, we answered questions about the amount of campaign missions and additional heroes with potential ranges. Now, with the launch having done well, we have decided to go for 15 total missions and 8 total heroes for full release. So without further ado, here is the roadmap for Godsworn's Early Access:

With the amount of content and additional requests for features by the community, such as mid-match saving, which we originally had not planned, our planning puts the 1.0 launch date somewhere end of 2025.

There are some features that we have not added to the roadmap because we are not yet sure if we can deliver them. Consider this a list of stuff we currently have not planned, but have not removed as a possibility just yet:
- Spectate
- Matchmaking
- Map editor



P.S. The next patch is coming soon and it includes skipping cutscenes. We are ironing out some last issues.
