Welcome to the "MoonWard Going Forward" (MGF) blog!

I'm Mr. Slate and I'm here to let you know what's next for MoonWard in the coming few months!

Before I continue, please consider joining our Discord Community!

Buying MoonWard or even just hanging out is plenty already but If you'd like to help funding our future projects, please also check our Patreon and Ko-fi!

But first - MoonWard is Out NOW for Android!

The MGF Blog

As you noticed in the title, from this point on MGF will come out once per season. Hopefully towards the beginning of a season but might be a little late like this time. This is mostly because now that MoonWard is out, there is far less work on it. Also I'd like to continue working on my other projects like GIant's Steps and a secret project that we're not ready to reveal just yet!

Weekly Posts

There are two weekly posts I've been doing to social media and Patreon. Well, there were three but I got a little overwhelmed. Those are art posts on Thursday and The Weekly Slate on Sunday. I'm going to change the Schedule for these a little bit. The art post will now happen on Saturday and The Weekly Slate will now happen on Monday. Admittedly, those changes are mostly for my convenience but I also realised people probably don't want to read some random news on the weekend, they'd rather be relaxing with some neat art. Oh and sorry I stopped posting for a few weeks, I'll start back up this coming Monday!

Next Demo Patch (October 15th)

Like I mentioned during the launch, the MoonWard Demo on Android needs a bit of touching up. This will include bug fixes, typos and any polish, items and enemies introduced in the full version that appear in Vinterstrath and Kragnak, the first two hubs. Other than that the only other significant change is that the download size will be a little larger because of all the new content.

First MoonWard Expansion: Outlaws (December 1st)

It's true! The first of the free expansions is coming this winter! It's called Outlaws and it'll come out on the 1st of December! It'll be based in the third hub, county Elewyn and it'll follow the Ustrean and Outlaw factions. The first are refugees from the recent civil war across the province border, while the latter are disillusioned folk turned to banditry due to the harsh life in Elewyn.

The expansion will feature:

3 stories in a unified arc with branching decisions.
1 new multi-stage boss with unique moves and abilities.
At least 10 new items. There might be guns...
1 new enemy type with 4 distinct variants.

iOS Launch (December 15th)

Yes, another big news! The MoonWard iOS version is coming out on the 15th of December for iPhones and iPads and it'll include the Outlaws expansion at launch! I'll drop more details closer to the date!

Monthly Weekend Sales

There will be monthly 50% sales! They'll last a single weekend that you can see in the roadmap. Speaking of discounts, though, MoonWard is 50% off RIGHT NOW! The launch sale will run until Sunday 12th of October so you don't have long left! Go get it while you can!

The Roadmap!

So... I spent a few hours today trying to make a nice looking roadmap graphic aaaand... I failed miserably! I promise, you'll get a nice graphic next time, but for now it'll have to be bullet points... I'm so sorry!!!

October 15th: MoonWard Demo Patch
November 1st/2nd: 50% MoonWard Sale on the Google Play Store
December 1st: Outlaws Expansion
December 6th/7th: 50% MoonWard Sale on the Google Play Store
December 15th: iOS Launch (Most likely a 50% sale on the Apple App Store)
December 16th: MoonWard Going Forward (Winter 2025/2026)

Features

Considering the game is out there's not much left but here are a few main things I'll be working on in the next few months:0ZHEQ9H1NV77DCT9H6WZZC4

WIP 10%: accessibility options. Larger dialogue text, some sort of "easy" mode and a menu where you can see a log of story and bounty rewards for the session.
WIP 30%: Penalties for bad skill checks. Right now you can only get rewards from skill checks. I want to add a system that makes fights slightly harder if you can't even pass one skill at a decision point. I'll use this sparsely. I promise.
WIP 70%: new intro cinematic. Annoyingly I didn't have the time to finish it for 1.0.1! Even more annoyingly, I don't think I can finish it for the demo patch either! It will be ready for Outlaws!
WIP 50%: iOS Release. I'm now on the Apple Developer program! Next steps - create and set up a store page!

Before I go, if you'd like to support our future projects, please check our Patreon and Ko-fi! Any help is greatly appreciated!

I hope you found this month's MoonWard Going Forward to be informative (and maybe a little entertaining). Thank you all so much for your continued support!

Like always,

stay awesome!
