Hello Surveyors!
It has been 9 days already since you began to build your settlements in the Great Ursee, and we've been taking your bug reports and getting some early patches in (the latest which went life yesterday if you missed it ) and making notes about what you like about the game, and what you would think would make it even better (More on this INCREDIBLY soon)
We've also been keeping an eye on all of your creations too, from epic map spanning constructions set to Daft Punk, to wallpaper worthy screenshots (and would you believe one particularly pacifist minded discord user even modded the game to allow all commanders to have a neutral allegiance, essentially unifying the Great Ursee).
It's been overwhelming seeing everyone fall in love with the Chaotic Creativity of Bulwark, so we've collected some of the things that have made us laugh, smile and applaud at your efforts.
Around The Wor... Ursee
Youtuber 'FearTheViking', asked the question nobody else thought to pose (except one INCREDIBLY dedicated QA member here during development), "What if I built in one continuous structure across the entirety of the map?"
The results speak for themselves, with a long chain of bridges linking the two furthest landmarks on the map, and crossing the mighty maw itself - interrupted with suitable clustered settlements on anything that would house a population - all synched to the head bopping beats of Daft Punk and (thankfully) sped up.
Cheers for your efforts Viking, (and for the earworm)
Let's do the Time Lapse again
One of the most satisfying features in Bulwark (besides, y'know - watching the little towers get LARGE) is the time lapse feature you can use in photo mode - and seeing creator 'MaddMilliner' discover it for themselves live was a joy unto itself.
Also, this is totally your reminder to go and do this on your biggest creations for that good Dopamine!
Peace Out
The Ursee is a tough and at times downright hostile place to try and rebuild a population. But that doesn't mean there aren't moments of peace to be found amongst the strife! If you've found yourself calmly watching a giant whale breaking the waves during sunset as the clouds disperse and your tower flags billow gently in the wind - then you'll know what we mean!
Creator 'Dracsfantastic' certainly understood the assignment, and after a lengthy first lets play session stream they took it upon themselves to put a little short together celebrating the peaceful moments between all the raiding parties and resource gathering.
Worth a Thousand Words
You know what they say about pictures - you should take them as often as possible and share them where we can see them on our socials!
The photo mode built into Bulwark allows for some spectacular shots (especially when you can control the pass age of time, time of day, depth and all those other fun little things).
We've collected a handful of shots here taken from virtual photographers and hobbyist gamers from Tomas home in the Netherlands, China, and all over the rest of the world for your viewing pleasure.

Alright, that's enough for now - but PLEASE continue to submit your creations at our socials or discords all over the internet, we are watching and want to share your passion and creativity with the world - and please remember to drop a follow on any of the linked channels and creator accounts tagged above to let them know you appreciate their efforts as much as we do!
We'll be gathering and sharing these community round ups regularly as we find your creations - so whether it's fan art, live streams, clips from streams using the twitch integration, screenshots, impressive builds / artistic shots - or simply a youtube video sharing your own unique settlement - be sure to upload and tag us across the internet where possible on the links below.
As Tomas hinted at in yesterdays patch notes, there's plenty of reason to be very excited about the future of Bulwark, which we'll share very soon - but until then - thank you for a fantastic launch week! We can't wait to see what you do next :)
Have a great week!
