Autumn is well and truly here, and it’s time for another run-down of what’s new!
First off, let’s start with what’s most imminent. The Valheim board game is getting ready to launch its Gamefound campaign, so make sure to check it out if you haven’t already. The campaign goes live on October 1st, and we promise you don’t want to miss it! If any of you happen to be in Germany and have plans to attend the Essen Game Fair, SPIEL, MOOD will also be there to show off the game. Come say hi!
Something else to keep an eye out for is also The Spill, a livestream that Box Dragon and Coffee Stain will be hosting on the 8th of October. Plenty of games under the Coffee Stain umbrella, including Valheim, will have developers present to talk about the past, present and future. Keep an eye out on our socials for more information on the schedule and the exact timings, and we hope to see you in the stream chat!
During the stream we will look back on the Ashlands development, but we will also be talking a bit about the future update that we started teasing a bit in the last blog post. In August we showed you a hut in the Swamps, and this time we want to give you a little sneak peek of what it looks like within:
Before we sign off we also want to remind you all that we have shared another freelancer interview! This time it was Ghostwood Empire, the people behind the trailer music and the sound design of Valheim, who told us a bit about their process. It even includes a deeper look into the sound design of the gjall, and an exclusive look into the components of that distinctive call!
And finally we want to make a shoutout to the wiki volunteers: the Valheim wiki has gotten itself a visual overhaul, which you can enjoy any time you want to look up any interesting facts. Thanks, wiki volunteers!
Build of the Month
This month we want to highlight not just one building, but an entire town! Well done, berserk_the_builder!
If you want your creation to be featured in this section, use the hashtag #ValheimBotM on social media. If you post anywhere other than Twitter, please also send us a DM with a link to your post, to make sure that we see it. You can view previous builds in this thread on Steam.
May your axes be sharp!
