The peak is in sight: 1.0 on 12 November

The peak is in sight.

Hey everyone,

Lands of Fury leaves Early Access on Thursday, 12 November, at 19:00 Ljubljana time (CET), and it launches with a big discount. Save the date!

It's been a long climb: almost four years of building, breaking and rebuilding, and nearly six months of Early Access with you. This post is mostly a thank you. There's also a free Supporter Pack for everyone who played during Early Access, new capsule art, and a launch-day Daily Run where the top three win a key for a friend.

TL;DR

• 1.0 launches on Thursday, 12 November, at 19:00 CET, with a big launch discount.
• The Supporter Pack is free until launch. It's a Reynard skin. Claim it before 1.0 and it's yours to keep.
• Launch-week Daily Arena: until the launch discount ends on 19 November, the top three Daily Arena scores each win an extra key to gift to a friend.
• Thank you. Really.

It launches with a big launch discount, so if a friend has been waiting for the full release, that's the day to tell them.

If you already own the game, you don't have to do anything. 1.0 arrives as an update, like every update before it.

Almost four years on the mountain

Lands of Fury started as a small survivors-like I wanted to make for our LAN party. The first line of code went in on 2 December 2022, 1,441 days before launch. I've worked on it on and off ever since, and full time for the last couple of years.

That LAN-party game came a really long way: more than a thousand commits, a demo at Steam Next Fest, and 24 weeks of Early Access.

Early Access began on 28 May with version 0.6.9. Twenty updates later, with a lot of your feedback in them, the game has:

• Co-op: a friend takes over your companion, on the couch or through Remote Play Together.
• Eleven languages.
• Seven lands to climb through, each ruled by its own mega boss.
• Two new companions, D4R10 and Alja.
• Merchants with jobs, mercenaries and blessings.
• The Daily Arena, next to the Daily Run.
• Tons of new items and cartridges.
• A new intro, a new ending, and rebuilt effects almost everywhere.

Thank you

Thank you to everyone who bought Lands of Fury in Early Access and climbed with me.

I'm really thankful to everyone who helped me and gave me valuable feedback along the way. To everyone who reported a bug, suggested an idea, wrote on the forums or on Discord, played co-op with a friend, made a video, or watched and chatted on the streams: you shaped this game. I couldn't have done it without you.

New capsule art by Alja

Lands of Fury has a new face for 1.0, drawn by Alja: Max and D4R10 standing together, looking into the distance, where the silhouette of the big bad guy is waiting.

Alja, thank you so much for this. (And yes, that's who our mage companion is named after.)

The Supporter Pack is free until launch

Let me be honest with you. Lands of Fury didn't make any real waves, and the number of players is tiny. So my plan for the release is a heavy launch discount, to give the game a real chance to find more players.

That means many of you paid more in Early Access than new players will pay at launch. You backed the game early, and I want to give something back.

So the Supporter Pack is free until 1.0 launches. It's a Reynard skin: ALMA rebuilds Max as Reynard, a fox. It's purely cosmetic. It will be available before 12 November, 19:00 CET, and it's yours to keep. Steam still has to give the supporter pack the green light, so I'll let you know in another update when it's up. After launch, it becomes a paid DLC. If you missed the free claim period, let me know.

To wear it, go to Pandora in camp and pick Rebuild me as Reynard. You can switch back to your own body there any time.

Launch-day Daily Run

Let's celebrate the launch together. From 12 November until the launch discount ends on 19 November, play the Daily Arena. The three players with the highest scores each win an extra key of Lands of Fury to gift to a friend.

• How to play: talk to the fox statue in camp and pick Enter the daily arena. The arena has only one difficulty, and every day everyone gets the same kit and the same waves.
• When: every day from Thursday 12 November to Thursday 19 November counts. Each day has its own board, from 01:00 CET to 01:00 CET (midnight to midnight UTC).
• Your score: your best score on any of those days counts. Play as many runs as you like. Each player can win one key.
• If you already own the game, you can start at 01:00 CET on 12 November, long before launch. New players can join from 19:00.
• Check today's standings any time: fox statue → Look at the leaderboards → Daily Arena → Daily.

Won a key? When the contest ends, I'll look at the high scores and post the top three in the launch-week Daily Arena thread on 20 November. Reply there with your Steam name as it shows on the board, and I'll send you the key privately on Steam.

See you at the peak

If anything breaks before or after launch, please tell me on the Steam forums or on Discord.

See you on 12 November.
