So, Wargroove broke even over the weekend, we've covered the cost of development and the game is now profitable! we want to thank everyone for their support!

We made a quick blog post last night just running through what our plans are in the short term.

We have a patch going through submission right now that will fix a few bugs we weren't able to nail down in time, but the patch after that will include a number of quality of life fixes, such as:

  • The ability to skip battle scenes more quickly. With various options on how this will work.
  • The ability to force fast map movement to 'always on'.
  • Tooltips and more info for the effective/vulnerable charts.
  • In multiplayer, the host will be able to fill open spots with CPU players.
  • Display S rank requirements. (Tip for now, it's always based on number of turns.)
  • Make it more difficult to accidentally end a turn.
  • Multiplayer Lobby improvements
  • Various bug fixes
There's some additional info about our plans beyond that, so please check out the blog for more details!
.

Excellent most my nitpicks will be resolved. Especially the vulnerable/effective section. Currently I still cannot work out what's effective against what.

Well deserved, been playing this all weekend. It's an excellent game and definitely scratching the Advance Wars itch.

Glad to see this kind of game succeeding.
Not because of me, cause I didn't buy it due to "not enough time to play another game", but I may bite in the future.

Awesome to hear. I haven't been able to dig in too deep yet, but I've enjoyed what I played so far. Quality game.

I'm glad someone made a new Advance Wars considering Nintendo isn't willing to do it. The patch notes sound great and I'm having a really good time with the game so far. I'm glad to see the team's hard work pay off.

That's great news, this is really well made and i hope they'll build on it.

Tooltips and skipping animations are also my biggest critisms of the game. Good that they will improve that.

I haven't yet decided if this game is for me, but it looks undeniably good and I'm really happy to hear of the team's success. It must be scary to spend so much time and energy on making a game and then not knowing how it will perform. Awesome to hear that the game is now profitable and I wish them continued success. Maybe I'll grab a copy myself, just intimidated by the difficulty hahaha. Always was better at FE games than AW.

Great news! Haven't bought it yet - is it still not possible to save mid-battle? Big turn-off for me...

I enjoyed the hour I played it this weekend and the QOL improvements sound good.

I didn't like how vague the S-rank requirements were, I went back and improved on a few missions in terms of # of turns I took to complete and didn't improve my ranking one of the times (the escort mission I believe, not sure how I could have done it faster), I wasn't sure the standard I needed to get to.

Great to hear the team is happy with the reception so far, it looks like they put a lot of love into the game.

Great news. Those QoL-improvements sound really good and made me buy the game today (though I'll wait to play it until the patch is out), looking forward to playing it soon as I love games such as Advance Wars and Fire Emblem.

Congrats to the dev team! I've only just started the game, but I'm certainly liking it so far!

This makes me very happy, I was kind of sad when nintendo left advance wars in benefit of fire emblem, this game not only scratches an itch I had it also does interesting things with the formula (such as including crit conditions).

I hope it's very profitable and shows to more people this type of game has fans and will get support.

It was me, I did it, i bought it late yesterday on Switch. I couldn't hold out any more.

Glad I could be the one. It was a lot of hard work and an agonizing decision.


In all serious congrats to the team. It is a good game. I have enjoyed what I have played so far and look forward to a lot more. Here's to making good money going forward and keeping people employed and happy and healthy working on something they love.

Good.
If only they could fix the subpar music and the portraits though, but the game looks fun.

Not interested in any way since I'm terrible at strategy games, but credit where credit's due, this is fantastic news. I love me a good success story. Big congratulations to the developer.

Really good to see the dev is already working on QOL updates. I have plenty to play right now so I'll pick it up when those get added.

Wonderful! Always happy to see games like this be successful.

Still need to pick it up, but it's more a matter of when and not if!

Most of it is terribly generic. I mean, I feel like I've heard these kinds of tracks countless time before while something like Grit's theme is still powerful to this day. From what I've seen and heard of wargroove, I know I will enjoy the gameplay but turn off the music quite quickly.

I love the AW soundtrack for sure but Wargroove hooked me from the off when playing it. Find it fits really well with how the game plays.

I'm 4 or 5 missions into Act 1 and really enjoying it. Never played advanced wars but loved Fire Emblem on the GBA.

So happy to see they're already taking a stab at some of the QOL things I was hoping would be addressed. Interested to see how the game plays when scenarios open up a bit more, so far the missions have been somewhat on rails.

Awesome, very well deserved. Cool to see the devs being so open about feedback and coming changes too.

Just got to chapter 2, I'm going to try and sink some serious time into this tonight.

Really glad to see this, spent most of my weekend playing with friends and getting others to try it out, most of whom ended up buying it right after.
