Month: April 2018

Wayward Birthday

Today marks the 2nd year of Wayward being available on Steam. We’ve been calling April 22nd the “Wayward Birthday” for this reason, and because of this fact, we are doing a 20% discount on Wayward today on Steam along with an extension to our “Content Contest“. More details down below!

As always, thanks for coming along for the ride with us as we continue our wayward journey.

Beta 2.6 Plans

We have heard you loud and clear! After multiplayer, the biggest wish for most players has historically been “NPCs”. With beta 2.6, we are making that wish a reality, starting with NPCs (non-player characters) that you can barter and trade with. If you are particularly malevolent, you can also choose to battle and fight them for their goods. As always, we’ll expand on this system going forward to add new gameplay options for them in the future.

To go along with the trading, we also expanded our legendary system, opening up the ability for any item to be legendary with unique new properties, including reduced item weight, bonus stats, extra damage/defense, increased worth, and more!

Another long-requested feature is the ability to use adjacent containers (chests) for crafting. This is something we are working on for beta 2.6 as well!

Of course, I can’t spoil and talk about everything we’ve added and changed so far, but we’re already well over 100 improvements, bug fixes, additions, and balance changes for beta 2.6. Stay tuned for more reveals.

Hey all!

It’s time to get creative and/or share your Wayward experience! Submit either a screenshot (from in-game) or piece of artwork inspired by Wayward. There’s no restrictions and it could even be a video if you feel so inclined.

Some ideas: a screenshot of your in-game village or base, a concept sketch for a new creature, a spritesheet with your own new item ideas, a rendering of your in-game character, or a meme comic pointing out a “just wayward things” moment. It’s really up to you!

Winners will receive:

First place: $40 Steam Gift Card + Wayward Steam Key
Second place: $20 Steam Gift Card + Wayward Steam Key
Third/fourth/fifth place: Wayward Steam Key

Update: We’ll also be giving away a couple bonus Wayward keys randomized among all those who entered for an extra incentive.

Simply direct message me on Discord (Drathy#0001) with your submissions or submit via email at contact@unlok.ca. Feel free to also share it on social media or on our Discord.

We’ll set up a showcase of all the submissions in about a week and choose winners sometime after. This is our first legit “contest”, so if it’s successful, we’ll plan on adding bigger and better prizes for future giveaways.

Have fun!
