Heeeeeeeeeello Bricktrons!
It’s time for another much requested, much missed Castle Story Building Challenge and we’re ready to have our minds blown with your always impressive builds! :D
Winter’s Coming and the white wa Corruptrons are probably up to no good, but that’s not going to stop crafty wintery Bricktrons from building beautiful resorts to enjoy the snowy lands and that’s the theme of this Building Challenge!
The building challenge is a test of skill and creativity that invites you to take a crack at designing a specifically themed building for your Bricktrons to make!
Castle Story’s islands aren’t always lush green covered fertile soils of flowers, trees and warmth. Sometimes, they’re covered in snow, ice and slush! Trees are topped in powdery white snow, plants peek through the layer of ice and shivering Bricktrons warm themselves up with some good ol’ building!
For this challenge, we want you to build a beautiful WINTER RESORT in a snowy map! You can either use the official Helix map, or one of the many awesome winter-biome maps shared on the Steam workshop by community members. Here’s a few examples;

Or, if you’re feeling crafty, you could make your own map in the World Editor!
There aren’t any building restrictions, but the more wintery and resorty your build feels, the more points you’ll get! Sledding slopes? Wooden cabin in the woods? Furnace to simulate a smoking chimney? Use your imagination!
Simple stuff!

On top of that, we've added two new door variations which can handle different amounts of beatings and a brand new snow-sprinkled winter biome to make maps and play in!

VIDEO DEMONSTRATION BELOW!
Hello everyone!
We’re really excited to release this new feature to you! The Blueprint Library is an evolution of the blueprints management tool that might change how you play Castle Story entirely.
The Blueprint Library allows you to save blueprints you’ve designed locally onto your disk to use later on, on any map or gamemode, even in multiplayer! So that really snazzy tower you worked on for an hour is no longer exclusive to your current game – you can save it and reuse it later!
Better yet, you can even share blueprints you’ve saved onto the Steam Workshop for others to marvel in your architectural prowess. It’s okay to toot your horn every now and then, don’t worry.
Since other players will be sharing their blueprints too, you can subscribe to them via the Steam Workshop and use them in your own sessions! By mixing other players’ blueprints and your own, the possibilities for different builds are LITERALLY ENDLESS*. *I didn’t do the math.
Anyways! Here’s a little video demonstration to show off your new superpowers. Use them responsibly!

Enjoy and be sure to let us know what you think. :D
Oh yeah, and to celebrate, the game and OST are going to be 25% OFF all day long. :)

Hey everyone!
We’re pretty excited to put today’s update into your hands! Conquest has been one of the most played gamemodes since the recent major updates but it was designed in a way where you could end up with a tremendous amount of Corruptrons on your island, roaming around, pathfinding and eating up all of your computer-juices, causing major loss in performance, which is the top complaint we’ve received for Castle Story.
Additionally, the gamemode had some issues with balance and difficulty – easy wasn’t always easy enough and hard was sometimes too easy for the pros.
All in all, you should see some major improvements in performance in shorter and longer Conquest games!
Also! A few of you expressed concerns over the Bricktrons looking a bit.. indifferent! Well, Bricktrons will now spawn with random expressions, from super-furious to suspiciously-happy. It has no relation to their current actions, so it’ll inevitably lead to some hilarious situations à la Alchemist blowing everything and everyone up with a big, beaming smile! Send funny screenshots pls.
Today’s update aims at addressing both these issues. Gameplay and performance have both been considerably improved in the Conquest mode.
Anyways, here’s the changelog. Note that all Corruptrons-related changes are mostly for the Conquest mode.
We really hope you enjoy these changes and be sure to let us know what you think!
ALSO! If you want to checkout the neat stuff we're working on for the next update, catch one of our Thursday streams on Twitch & Youtube. Every Thursday at 3PM EST under the channel name SauropodStudio.
Heeeeeello peoples! We’re happy to ship a small but useful update to the catapult today making its use considerably easier than it was before. Hoping this’ll encourage players to make use of it as a viable defensive (and with a bit of creativity, offensive) measure for your base.
Heeeeeello peoples! We’re happy to ship a small but useful update to the catapult today making its use considerably easier than it was before. Hoping this’ll encourage players to make use of it as a viable defensive (and with a bit of creativity, offensive) measure for your base.
In the past, ordering a catapult to fire didn’t immediately fire it. You had to wait for a Bricktron to make their way over there and trigger it. This could mean waiting a fairly long time or, if you had the good measure to assign a worker to the catapult, a shorter waiting time, but one none the less. A Bricktron was also needed to rotate/aim the catapult, causing the player to encounter these same delays.
As of today, Bricktrons will automatically load catapults with a barrel without any intervention, as long as you have a reachable catapult and a stockpiled barrel. Once you order your catapult to fire, though, it will immediately fire without the need of a worker being nearby. Magic. Aiming will also not require workers. This makes the catapult considerably easier to use and much more efficient as a defensive structure.
Oh, also, we removed the catapult’s randomized inaccuracy. It’s dead on where you want it to shoot now.
In addition to that, we have several bug fixes;
- Fixed an issue where selecting dynamic structures could break if you quit the game while typing a save game’s name.
- Fixed an issue where typing the name of your map in the World Editor would move the camera around when using the letters W A S and D.
- Fixed an issue where ranged units would focus their attacks on crystals instead of nearby enemy units.
- Fixed an issue where sometimes, a ghost barrel would be stuck in the catapult and caused the catapult to misfire.
- Fixed the Home Crystal’s HP bar being too small.
Enjoy! :D

Welcome to today’s changelogs! :D We’re pretty excited about this one because it brings something new to Castle Story that’s been requested quite often; a new biome!
Islands built in the desert biome look completely different from ones in the forest biome you’re used to. Instead of lush greenery, thick grass and comfy looking nooks and crannies, expect sandy dunes, dry shrubbery, cacti and sandstone!
The new Desert Biome is shipping with a new, official map made in the desert, allowing you to dip your Bricktrons’ feet into the sand right away! The map is named Pioneer Pass and it’s an Invasion, Sandbox and Conquest map that supports up to 2 players in multiplayer. It’s symmetrical, which makes it great for 1v1s!
In addition to Pioneer Pass, you can now select the Desert Biome when creating a new map in the world editor, allowing you to map using all the textures, plants and details we used in Pioneer Pass. Can’t wait to see your desert-y maps on the workshop! :D
Anyhoodles, here’s the nitty-gritty changelogs;
And that’s that! Enjoy and be sure to share your desert maps on the Steam Workshop so we can check them out. :)

Hi!
This update is something we’ve wanted into the game for quite a while now, but finding a logical hotkey for every thing in a game like Castle Story has proven to be quite the headache. But we’ve done it!
Today’s update will add hotkeys to almost everything in the game and changes some of the keyboard’s usability to a more user friendly approach.
Also, we’ve slipped in some changes to the balance of military units. Here’s the full changelog;

Howdy!
A little bird told us there was an illicit, fight-club like underground hidden tournament being organized by blood-thirsty members of the community in which Castle Story players face each other off at PvP battles in the game.
Frankly, this is shocking and slightly frightening and we love it. If you’re parts crazy and parts brave and want to participate in such a tournament, join the official Discord by clicking here and fill in the participation form by clicking here.
In light of this competition and considering, from what we’ve heard, that if you die in this tournament you die IRL, we’ve decided to divert some effort to fix an old bug that made multiplayer games a little unfairly biased towards the person hosting the game;
- Fixed an issue where the host would see the energy lines of other players’ wards in the fog of war.
Enjoy and good luck to everyone taking part in this tournament. :)
