We're thrilled to tell you a little about Project G, our next game, and our first foray into the roguelite genre.

Project G is a co-op action roguelite set in a dark fantasy universe. We've dropped our first teaser in our series to set the stage for our game annoucnement and trailer over the coming months.

This first teaser should give you a window into the vibe we're going for with Project G.

As we mentioned at the beginning of the year, we're excited to take some of the best features and aspects of Enemy On Board and bring them to our new project. To that end, we think Project G will be quite fun if you enjoyed EOB, and are looking for playtesters as we near our first outside playtests soon.

Update 1.7.0 brings public lobbies to Enemy On Board. This feature will eliminate the need to go into our Windwalk Games / Enemy On Board Discord[www.discord.com] to find matches. Additionally, we've addressed an FPS drop issue that occurs in custom-matches of less than 8 total players.

I've made this a Major Update since our community has been "quite vocal" about it. Shout out to Cris for implementing the public lobbies and Rosco for addressing the FPS issue. The Windwalk Games team thanks you for your patience.

Update 1.7.0 brings public lobbies to Enemy On Board. Private lobbies ARE STILL AVAILABLE and will not show up in the lobby browser.

Functionality

• Kick - Party leaders can kick a turbulent/unruly player from the lobby. The player will be able to return.
  
• Ban - Party leader can ban a turbulent/unruly player from the lobby. The player will not be able to return to that specific lobby.
  
• Transfer Party Leadership - Party leaders can transfer the responsibility to another user
  
• Within Lobby Invites - Steam Friends List integration and link sharing using the "Copy Link" button as per usual.
  
• Mute - Left-click the Volume Icon to mute a player
  
• Volume Slider - Rightclick the Volume Icon and use the slider to adjust volume

Uses

• Naming - Please try to be descriptive with your lobby names - example "Cool Game - Classic 2 Aliens" or "Custom 4 aliens 2x Speed"
  
• Naming - Act like adults and refrain from using slurs. Report players and party-leaders with inappropriate names using the in-game "Report" button.

• [ADDED] Discord Rich Presence

• [FIXED] FPS drops significantly during custom matches with less than 8 players.

The last update for 2020 is here! What a year it’s been ~ we hope everyone has managed to stay healthy and safe. It’s been a blessing to get to know all of our community members even better in 2020. It's been a flagship year for Enemy On Board. 6-months since we launched into Early Access and we've had close to 300,000 people download a copy of our first game. It's come a long way, and we’re now looking forward to the new year. As many of you are aware, our team has also grown from 5 to 7 people and we're planning on hiring an Art Director soon. We're blessed to be able to make games for you and can't wait to see what 2021 will bring.

With Update 1.6.0, we're moving away from our matchmaker and replaced it with a custom lobby system. As our concurrent player count and download figures are low, we've moved away from the matchmaker and to a lobby system. These lobbies are fully customizable (change the # of aliens, speed, and a whole host of other options). We can't wait to see the memes that spring out of this. If our player base grows and there is a need for a matchmaker again, we will be able to add it back quickly.

Here is a summary of the items included in this update:

• Matchmaking has been removed, moving to solely Custom lobbies
  
• Balance tweaks you've been asking for

We've been hard at work over here at Windwalk. As many of you know, since the last update, we've added 2 new engineers to the team, Kristian and Josh. They are now fully on board and working hard. We're so grateful to have them as we push EOB to the next level at full speed.

Early Access v1.5.0 represents our largest update to date. In this update, we've made large changes to up the focus on deductive gameplay elements and reduce the amount of combat in game. With 8 players, 6 Crew and 2 Aliens, being discovered early marks almost certain death. We also needed a bigger ship to house more players, so we decided to fully revamp the Andromeda. Map 2 is now in process. Finally, we've heard your comments - WASD is now the control scheme. We sincerely thank you for drilling this feedback home and can't wait for you to play EOB 1.5.0.

As always, thank you to everyone for helping us to gather logs around these issues and being patient with us while we figure out where mistakes were made.

Please continue to notify us of other bugs you are experiencing in the game. You can do this by sending a message (along with your logs) in our Discord[discord.gg], or by using the "Report Bugs" button in game.

Have a great weekend, y'all!

With our latest big content update (v1.3.0) came a few bugs.

Here's what we have fixed:

There was a bug in an "update" loop which meant it sent logs at the framerate specified per account (ie. 60 times a second if framerate was set at 60fps).

This slows down the computer and puts a ton of load on our remote logging service.

Cris has found a quick fix for this, and we'll be finding time to find the proper and perfect fix very soon!

We fixed almost immediately after this was discovered because we're just the best devs, but this was a problem where dropped Shield Cells and Bulletproof Vests would recharge with full armor.

This was not intended, and has been fixed.


With this quick patch, Enemy On Board should be back to the game you know and love! See you onboard.

Soooo.....uhhhhh......yea, we added in European Servers yesterday night, no big deal or anything ~ smile

This one goes out to all the EU players who have SUFFERED through bad ping and rough gameplay. You are still loved and care for, don't worry.

We have added in EU servers to solve all your problems and whisk them all away ːsteamhappyː

When readying up to enter a queue, you (in Solo Queue) or the "party leader" can choose to queue in EU servers, US servers, or both!

We have added indicators to let you know how popping a server is, and how long you'll have to wait for a game. Green means good :)

There's still a lot of work to be done to make it better, but we just couldn't let you guys suffer any longer. Here it is, for you, right now!

Last but not least, we fixed one bug along with this patch.

• Fixed bug where ascended characters do not receive an ability upgrade
