We get a lot of feedback on the Nomads. To be honest, we didn't expect such a big response, especially since this is an expansion with a different type of gameplay than the main game. We would like to thank you very much for that!
In this update, we focused on giving Nomads an AI that, despite direct player control, will allow them to have a bit of their own will, which will allow them to automatically engage in combat at key moments.
Other Nomad improvements we are currently working on are the minimap, improved camera, and map/scenario editor. Stay tuned for these features in future updates, and don't hesitate to send us more feedback!
May your lands remain unshattered
With this update, we're introducing improvements and new features that you suggested to us. We were also able to fix some minor bugs that could sometimes be really annoying. Thank you for all the feedback, ideas, and thumbs up. Once again - thank you! You are great!
May your lands remain unshattered
The promise to restore civilization to its former shape and return to the times of splendor overcame sadness and filled the hearts of Driftland's inhabitants with new hope and energy. Determination for action diverted attention from the numerous conflicts between quarrelsome mage-rulers and various injuries sustained by those who did not give in to their will. Outlaw rebels called Nomads by the mage-rulers are exterminated and treated as barbarians. They believe that the new order is an attempt to restore balance in shape that has once destroyed the planet. Now, the nomads must fight to defend their values and survive.
We are pleased to present to you the latest and also the largest Driftland update so far. Thanks to the great Driftland fan community, we've had the opportunity to develop the game together during early access and after the release. We hope that you will like the effect of the last few months of our work and that we will be able to further expand the magical world of Driftland.
new game mode Nomads do not have a ruler and do not carry out orders like other races. Units are managed directly, like in classic RTS games. New unit types/classes affect strategy on the battlefield. Path of Progress tree The Nomad economy is not based on resources as much as in other races.
extended game mode replacing Skirmish A game mode that allows you to generate a random game just like before Skirmish, with the difference that we've added a lot of options that will allow you to create a game on your own inventory and more varied maps.
With this update, Steam and GOG players will be able to play a multiplayer game together. By the way, we changed the multiplayer game engine, which should improve the stability of the game in this mode.
We've had two tutorials so far - one in Skirmish mode and the other in Campaign mode. Unfortunately, each of them contained a different part of the knowledge needed to play Driftland. Some of you played only one of them and did not look into the other, which sometimes could cause frustration. We decided to sort it out. We have created an independent game mode - Tutorial, which quickly teaches how to navigate the world of Driftland and introduces the basic mechanics. We also got rid of the tutorial mission in the human campaign, which you just didn't like :-) The nomads got their own tutorial mission because they use a completely different game mechanics.
Now you can play Driftland: The Magic Revival wherever you want using the GeForce NOW service.
We continue our mission to improve the world of Driftland. This update is not guided by a specific thought, rather consists of small patches that affect the quality of the game's reception.
We believe that it will appeal to players who return to the world of a shattered planet regularly, and for new ones will lower the entry threshold and encourage them to thoroughly explore the world and the rules of our game.
Thank you for all the warm words️, ideas and thumbs up. You can't even imagine how important it is for a small independent team like us. Once again - thank you! You are great!
May your lands remain unshattered,
This update introduces a number of user experience improvements and fixes that have been discussed and requested by the Driftland community in recent weeks. At the same time, we've synced all three development branches: Steam PC, Steam macOS, and GOG to version 1.3.x
Gamepad support introduced in the previous update has been improved with many new features and has become more convenient. Therefore, from the experimental test version it changed into a full-fledged game feature.
Since the previous update we have introduced several hundred changes and fixes in the source code of the game. The result is the elimination of many rare but annoying bugs that occur in specific situations, e.g. the (in)correct numbering of camps (and raids) during their frequent creation and removal. The second group of changes and fixes improved the game's performance and stability. Here we owe a huge thank you to our wonderful community, which provided us a lot of feedback, game saves, and logs. Thank you!
