"The Interface Update" Preview

We can confirm that The Interface Update will in fact be the first big update to Blasted Fortress.

It may sound a little boring, but the Interface Update is important and provides a skeleton for our future endeavors. It's an absolute necessity for the big content update, too. We wanted to share with everyone how progress is going, so come along and we'll start off by showing a preview of the home base screen with the Workshop window up.

A, B, C: Your resources are now on a slim-looking top bar. Rather than having resources, season, and experience all separately floating around, they've all been combined on this bar. Tooltips are now available for Talismans (B) to explain what the bar is for in case new players are confused.

D: The Ammo Workshop window is being updated with bigger buttons that sit in an expandable window that can be scrolled using the scroll bar. Why is this useful? Well... it should be obvious, we want to add new ammunition types!

E: If there were two complaints about the current Workshop interface, it's that people are having trouble crafting the exact amount of ammunition they want and that they find it irritating to know what their order will cost. Right now, ammo costs are all hidden behind a tooltip. We're fixing both of those issues here. You can run the skull slider all the way to the right to buy up to 50 ammo at a time, and it will also show you how many resources it will cost to craft all of them together.

The Interface Update is about 25% complete. More work remains to be done, but it's being done quickly.

Have issues with the interface you'd like to see addressed when this update drops? Let us know in the Suggestions forum.

For several years, and despite many free updates, we've avoided putting the game on sale because we haven't been totally confident with promoting it. However, we have some plans next year for hopefully improving and finalizing the game, so i…Community27 Nov 2017Pricing Updates & More!Hey everyone, Pricing Update Earlier this month Steam began supporting new currency conversions for Vietnam, Ukraine, Australia, Poland, Argentina, Israel, Kazakhstan, Kuwait, Qatar, Costa Rica, and Uruguay.

This is one of the biggest, if not the biggest update to the game yet and it took a long time to get it right. In fact, it almost didn't fit in this announcement... As with all content updates, it's free for all. There were so many goodies we wanted to pack into the Content Update that we had to leave a few things out for now, but you sure wouldn'…
