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 (Android or iOS) or even just hanging out is plenty already but If you'd like to help funding our future projects, please also check our Patreon!
But first - MoonWard is Out NOW for Android & iOS!
MoonWard's second FREE expansion: Pirates of the Mesmer Sea is coming out this summer!
First off, I need to make an announcement - I have to move the release of the next expansion from 6th of June to the 4th of July! I'm sorry for the delay but I can already tell this will take longer than I expected. This is due to some technical complications but mostly just real world stuff like work and family. Don't worry, I'm still committed to achieving all of my goals listed below, it'll just take a little longer.

The Pirates expansion will feature:
New Stories!
New Bounties!
New Items!
New Enemy!
New Locations!
New NPCs!
New County!
In the last week, I've been ramping up production on this expansion so work is now firmly underway. My first step was to break down the work into tasks. That's mostly complete, only some small things like items remaining. Then I started to revise and flesh out the narrative. I'm currently finishing that. It's a bit too early to say this for sure but it looks like there will be plenty of swashbuckling goodness!
MoonWard Sales
There is actually a sale going on right now (ending 26th of April)! MoonWard is 50% off on iOS and Android! Make sure to check it out or if you're on Android you still have a little time to grab the demo and give it a quick play before buying the full version!
The next sale will be on July 5th to July 12th. This is to fit with the moved expansion release.
MoonWard Patches
The last patch to v1.0.40 just came out last weekend (19th of April)! It came with a large number of changes! Have a look below or read the detailed blog here:
Added lore friendly Seasonal events (Offline)!
Added a Credits menu in settings!
Fading transitions for loading screens.
Added 16bit Page File support (Android Only).
Fixed stagger exploits.
Fixed brawl panels sometimes appearing twice.
Fixed bugs & typos.
Due to the incoming expansion and the fact that I'm already struggling to find time to work on my games, I'm going to have to stop stability patches until this summer. I'll re-start after Pirates is out though! in the meantime - any fixes I implement will be out with the expansion in July.
The Roadmap(?)!
Once again - it's difficult to commit to dates when you're a solo dev. I know my dates aren't the most reliable, I promise, I do try to stick to my deadlines and if I can't - I try to let you know in advance. With that said, I'm not sure if you could call this a roadmap but I'm realising even just listing some dates here could be useful, so here we go:
April 26th - end of MoonWard sale.
June 21st - Start of Summer event.
July 4th - Pirates of the Mesmer Sea release.
July 5th - Start of MoonWard Sale.
July 12th - End of MoonWard Sale.
July 21st - End of Summer event.
All of these dates are set in stone as far as I'm concerned, however, if something absolutely needs to change I'll let you know on my social media, Discord, and in one of The Weekly Slate blogs.

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:
Done: 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! It wasn't ready for Outlaws! I genuinely don't know when I can finish this! It's so close to being done! Argh!
WIP 10%: Smaller, free iOS version! I've been thinking about it and have gone back to my original idea of having the first county complete in a free version on iOS! Unfortunately I had done most of the work and removed all of it from the game when I was getting ready for release. Back then I made a decision to cancel this version of MW. I think I was wrong to do that. Now I'll have to take a look at my source control and grab the code/assets from a previous version. Frankly, though, I don't imagine it'll take long to bring it back to the current build (famous last words). We'll see!

Before I go, if you'd like to support our future projects, please check our Patreon! Any help is greatly appreciated!
I hope you found this season'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!
