Announcing Monthly Art Roundups

Header Beginning

Hey everyone!

Recently, we’ve been very impressed by the fanart that many members of our community have been creating. Not only are many people regularly sharing fanart that they’ve created, but the recent art competition that we ran was incredibly well participated, and we’d like to keep up that momentum.

So, beginning in November, we’ll be running monthly fanart roundups. We’ll collect all of the fanart that you make and gather it together in one place for everyone’s enjoyment!

In addition, we’d love to see a much wider range of art forms published. So we’ll be opening the doors to any stories, poems or music as well as more painted/drawn art! We’d also love to see more people trying their hand at creating things – even if you aren’t particularly experienced, we want as many people as possible to try. Practice makes perfect!

We’ll try to do our best to gather up all art for every roundup, but to ensure that your stuff gets posted, please send it to Docterchese on the forums. The roundups will be posted to the forums and our social media outlets (e.g. Facebook.)

We literally can’t wait to see what you come up with! And, if the roundups are successful enough, then we’ll expand on the original concept, with monthly competitions, prizes and more…

See you in November!

P.S. We will do our utmost to respect the creators of all art that we post, and will be more than happy to remove any art from all of our outlets if so requested by the creator of that work.

Developer Diary: Record Release

In the second instalment of our brand-new Developer Diaries, Rolf takes a moment to talk about the recently commissioned new Wurm music, entitled “Meditation and Work.” It’s out now on Spotify, iTunes and Amazon, and you’ve probably heard it already in-game too!

The Dev Diaries are produced & edited by our latest full-time team member, Johan. He’s going to continue to bring more to the table in regards of marketing Wurm. Expect to see more of his work in the future!

If the video does not show, click here.

Links to the music release:

If you see this, we did it right!

We’ve now connected the news section on our website to our Twitter and Facebook accounts plus the Forum! (hopefully)

This is all part of our plan to bring everything together on the website, so we can have our news and all other information organised much better than we have in the past. This means you will only have to come to one place to find out everything you need to know about what’s happening in Wurm development and much more.

Our next task is going to be linking the website to the launcher, which should be an easy task for one of our lovely client developers.

Alot of exciting things are happening to the site, so watch this space!

Summer update release fixes

Shortly after the release of the 1.1 Summer Update we became aware of some unintended side-effects. As a result, we have had to bring down the servers for some quick debugging and maintenance.

We will be doing slight rollbacks to change all bush types back to what they were before 1.1 was released. Don’t worry though, nobody will be losing any items or skills.

For a while, items such as saddles, horseshoes and barding equipped by horses has been accidentally transferred to their inaccessible inventories. Never fear, however, as we will be fixing this very soon.

Some other features in 1.1 were accidentally disabled, but we will be enabling those when the servers come back up.

We’ll let you know if anything else comes to light. Thank you for your support and patience!

Summer Release 1.1 now live!
