Dispatches from the fog
Announcements, updates and behind-the-scenes notes on building The Long Watch.
Devlog #6: the First Watch Tournament, speedrun mode and moving defenses (demo v0.1.9)
The demo moves to version 0.1.9 right before the First Watch Tournament (October 26 to December 13): SPEEDRUN MODE arrives, you can now move your defenses between waves, and the Archer and the Arcane Mage get a new speed upgrade.
Devlog #5: the final soundtrack, a forest and a Steam-linked ranking (demo v0.1.7)
The demo moves to version 0.1.7. The ranking is now tied to your Steam account, the meadow became a forest and the steppe got its wind, the soundtrack is Agustín Colom's final score, and the Catapult, Ballista and Siege Ram are new.
The demo is out: the Demo Season begins
The free demo of The Long Watch is out on Steam. Twenty waves of Act I, three watches and the Demo Season world ranking, with a surprise for the captain who finishes at the top. Here's how it works and where to find the rules.
Campaign Devlog #1: Act I is finished
Act I of The Long Watch is finished: thirty-five waves, three bosses and the whole hill. The free demo shows only its beginning, up to wave 20. Here's what the rest of the first act holds, and a word on Act II, which we're working on now.
Devlog #4: Stillwater rebuilt and a smoother horde (demo v0.1.6)
The demo is now on version 0.1.6. Bigger hordes run smoother, Stillwater and the Trapper have new homes, the armorer works his anvil, and bosses and champions move better. Everything since 0.1.4.
The demo arrives this month, with gifts for every captain
The Long Watch demo is coming to Steam this October. Everyone who plays it takes rewards into the full game, and the captain at the top of the Demo Season ranking gets a surprise.
Devlog #3: Orders, ashes and thirteen languages (v0.1.4)
The Commander now hands out orders, your score tells you exactly where every point came from, Farpost can fall, the campaign map is a living 3D world and the game speaks thirteen languages. Everything in 0.1.4.
Devlog #2: Version 0.1.3 is done
A charged-up Arcane Mage, a storm that darkens the sky and then breaks, barrels that feel alive and a lighter mode for modest PCs. The last pieces of 0.1.3, and the full build in one place.
Devlog #1: Where the watch stands (v0.1.3)
Three difficulty watches, a world ranking, a longer demo, the Trapper at work and the first road to Lowgate. Here's everything in the current build.
