I've uploaded what I expect to be the final update for the game, version 2.5. It's on the preview branch for now, so I can fix any bugs that may have crept in (though there shouldn't be any). Changes: updated engine/core code visual improvements to volumetric lights, general grap
This is a small update containing a few internal updates, bugfixes and an important fix for a security issue in the Unity engine.
I have uploaded an update to improve a number of issues that crept in and make some all-around improvements. It is live on preview now, if there are no issues it will go live on the main branch in a few days. Here's the list of changes: Fixed the vegetation and ground texture on
Fixed the bandits quest in Children's Tales to no longer refer to the armoury. Fix for the trial in Darkest Nights. Fixed a naming issue that may in rare cases lead to the game pausing randomly. Improved vegetation and wind handling on Schramberg, Castle and Farmstead. This shoul
This is a major behind-the-scenes update, it includes: New Spanish and Russian translations (incomplete, head to to contribute!) Visual refresh, giving the 3D scene more clarity and a hint of a stylized look Added ivy to a number of buildings for more visual variance and interest
I've uploaded a new build to the testing/beta branch. This is a major behind-the-scenes update, with a new engine major version and considerable code updates. It fixes a small number of bugs as well. Please test and let me know if you run into any problems. The sooner I get some
From time to time, players have asked if the game is available in their language. Until now, I always had to say sorry no. I speak English and German good enough. Other languages need a native or good speaker. I found one person to translate parts of the game to French, very happ
Completed the "Darkest Nights" story (though it is now a bit shorter than I had hoped) Doubled the number of monster lairs that rangers will seek out before giving up for the day Night summary now shows temperature (to better understand when peasants need heating or die of frostb
Fixed: Storage display now updates correctly again Fixed: Eliminated peasant "follow ghosts" (by switching anti-aliasing from temporal to FXAA) Fixed two small script errors Added 3 ultra-wide (21:9) resolutions in the options menu
This update should fix all but one of the known bugs and includes a number of other improvements. I recommend that you install it as quickly as possible. Note: I have changed some parts of the save game files. The game should load old saves without any issues, but new saves made
Hot on the heels of the previous update, here are two more bugfixes: Fixed: Market UI still listed weapons as tradeable Fixed: Camera Shake
ATTENTION - this is part 2 of the major walls update, this one is destructive. Old saves (by now 3 months or more old) may not work or not correctly restore any walls built. This update also fixes a number of bugs, adds French translation and more. Here's the full changelog: Remo
If you've been holding off, now is the perfect time to get the game into your collection. Black Forest will be on sale during the Steam Summer Sale . It's also a great time because the game just received a major update, and another (smaller) update is on the way. Go and defend th
I'm working on part 2 of the major update. This will have far fewer changes, but the important part is that I will be cleaning up old, no longer used things. So if you have any quite old saves (from before the last update), now is the time to finish those game. In the next update
Black Forest is on sale. Steam tells me that over 10,000 of you still have it on your wishlist. Now, with the sale and the big update that just came out, is the perfect time to get Black Forest into your library.
This is the first of a two-part major update to the game. I am re-focussing on the core gameplay and removing elements that distract from it. That includes the night watch option for villagers and the armoury, weapons and guard posts. The game was always meant to be unique in tha
I'll be streaming gameplay of the new version today evening, showcasing changes and new features. Stream will be on my Twitch channel: If I can manage it I will upload a recording to YouTube afterwards. The time is 21:00 local time. Check here to convert to your time:
Still preparing for the next update. Here is a teaser of what you can expect: New building: Barn - you can't build it but most maps come with one set up already. It serves no purpose and is only for decoration (though it does block monster attacks) Walls have been reworked. More
