| In-game event | Update 0.90 Hello there! Version 0.90 Game version is updated to 0.90. If you noticed, I didn't write "Beta version" and I didn't write "Demo version" and there is a reason for that. As the release date is getting closer (less than 3 weeks from now), and as chapter 10 is a direct continuation of chapter 9 (no spoilers, but you would probably figure that one out with their names being "Odd" and "Even"), I'v… | 21366167 | |
| Community | The New Roadmap Hi there! Long Story Short Guards vs Goats version 1.00 officially releases on January 22, 2026. Long Story Long As you can see, this is a new version of the roadmap. Keeping the old one just for reference. As stated earlier, I thought again about the early access idea and decided that I should drop it. I wanted early access because: · This is my first game. · I wanted feedback before the offic… | — | |

Chapter VIII Added the eighth chapter of the game. It takes place in a new castle (not in Newcastle). It also adds another small area (don't want to spoil too much). Both new places and a new set of guards added to Custom Chapters as well. Volumetric Fog & Lighting… | — | |
| In-game event | Demo Version 0.72 Hello There! Released version 0.72 of the demo and the beta. The Content This version was unplanned. It is actually the demo and the beta built with the latest patch of the Unity editor I'm using. The Reason If you're following the latest gaming news, you'd probably stumble on the security exploit discovered on games built on some of the Unity versions. You can find the official statement in Un… | — | |
| In-game event | Demo Version 0.71 Hello There! The game version reached 0.71 and with it, I'm happy to introduce one of the main features of this game: Custom Chapters . While this version was in the initial roadmap and the 0.7x version plan, I've decided to focus on development, canceling the Early Access (at least for now) and try to release the game as a whole on January. Detailed post about the new roadmap will be published… | — | |
| In-game event | Demo Version 0.70 Hi There! The game version reached 0.70 and if you read the previous Roadmap post, that's a major milestone for the game as one of the 0.7x versions will be the first early access version. So now: · Demo version 0.70 is released. · Beta version 0.70, containing levels 1 to 7, is released but still in a closed beta. Worry not, though! The early access version is coming soon. If you read the prev… | — | |

Keeping the old Roadmap for archive. Hello there! It's time for another progress update and while at it, I think it'll be best if I share the development roadmap of this game. First, the actual roadmap and then a bit details about it plus some… | — | |

Game development is in version 0.53 at the moment and this means: · Released version 0.53 of the demo. · Released an internal Beta version 0.53 containing levels 1 to 5.

| In-game event | Demo Version 0.41 Hi there! Level 4 is done. A news post about it will be posted very soon. After the demo release and during the time of the Next Fest, I've received some important and precious feedback. At that point, I've decided to work in two dimensions: Add more content and enhance the game. I wanted to make a big enhancement break after finishing level 5. Then, I've got the privilege of watching the lovel… | — | |

| Community | The Art Is Covered Hello! I am very excited about this one! Cover art means a lot to me. Whether it is for games or metal albums, I was always fascinated by cover art. The feeling usually gets better when I discover the content (game, music or film) matches the spirit of its cover art. This is what I wanted for my game as well. A beautiful cover art which represents the game itself. So, say hello to Guards vs Goa… | — | |

| Community | The Way To The Demo - Halfway There Hi there! Hello Kate When I sent the prototype to friends, the major feedback I received was "I didn't understand the controls". That opened up three possible ways to tackle this issue and I went for all three: · Polish the directional combat. · Add an option for a simpler timed based combat. · Add a tutorial (training) level. Kate was a placeholder character in the prototype (she's not in the… | — | |
| Community | The Way To The Demo - First Status Report Hello there! So, what is Guards vs Goats? Guards vs Goats is a first-person medieval action game which is linear and story based. Dwelling on the word "medieval": The game doesn't take place on a real-world historical time and location, but on the other hand, doesn't contain fantasy elements like magic and dragons. Some of the game concepts are: · 10 levels based on a linear story. · Although t… | — |
