| Fan-Made Short: The Chronicles of Castle Story! | 2019-06-20 | Hey everyone! Hope your week's been wonderful so far. :D If you're an active member of the Castle Story Discord, you may have seen this useful tutorial teaching you how to enable the secret Movie & Editor panels in Castle Story. Community member Jord Studios used these tools to make an AMAZING fan short and we felt like it deserved to be spotlighted here, so check it out & consider liking the video so he knows we want more! :D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OuEAoFZ--y8 https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/4573245/5cd0f8301957e9534433ae26efbbe0c1eed416d3.jpg While we're here, if you haven't yet, consider joining |

| Update 1.1.9 - The Blueprint Library! | 2018-09-17 | https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/4573245/070bd1466ec564b1e6548c7222a38f20921906a4.jpg 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 |
| 1.1.8 - CONQUEST REWORK & BRICKTRON FACES! | 2018-07-26 | https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/4573245/527b606afaa128f13fe81a53ea44fa78fcdd13ac.jpg 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 eno |
| The Catapult Update is now live! (Update 1.1.7) | 2018-07-05 | https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/4573245/a6651ddaba2f6bc8d4a338b4a79ba3993edb7647.jpg 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 ca |

This update’s for you! Added resource toggles on the quarry and the tunnel, allowing you to instruct Bricktrons not to gather stone, brimstone or iron. Instead, Bricktrons working on that task will destroy the resources that are toggled off instead of bringing them back to c clutter your stockpiles! In longer games, a reduced number of stockpiles in your game will improve performance. Quarries now capped at 8 instead of |

| 1.1.4 - THE HOTKEYS UPDATE! | 2018-04-19 | https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/4573245/343ac579045acf8b7433f6546c189627ba48e349.jpg 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; http://www.castlestory.net/en/update/6280-114-The-Hotkeys-Update Hope you folks e |
| HOTFIX - WARD LINES IN MULTIPLAYER (& A TOURNAMENT!) | 2018-03-20 | 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 |

We’re back at it again with the updates and this one will seriously improve the fluidity of the Bricktrons. We’ll jump right into the big change; we’ve adjusted the Bricktrons’ pathfinding AI to allow them to calculate paths through each other! No more traffic jams, bumping and switching resources, which tended to slow things down. https://i.imgur.com/2zYyoYn.gif Besides the obvious increase in speed and fluidity when they’re building, this change will affect other things; Bricktrons will now actively try to |
