Post Launch + Multiplayer + Localization Updates

30 Aug

Hello everyone! Daron from Bad Ridge Games here. As we near the launch of the game, we are excited to share some of our plans for it in the months ahead. As always, we welcome your feedback!

Co-op Multiplayer

Mirthwood was always designed as a single-player experience. That said, we have heard you. Many of you have requested co-op, and so that is something that we will be working on after the launch. We are aiming for two-player co-op functionality, both local and online. We don’t have a timeline yet. As a two-man team, we need to focus on the launch and, of course, fix any bugs that crop up in your adventures first.

Modding Support For PC

After launch, we will add PC modding support and aim to work with modders to provide them with the tools and support needed to create fun new experiences for us all.

The Family Update

A free content update will be available after the launch. It will introduce heartwarming family dynamics, enabling players to nurture and grow their in-game families, including having children. We’ll share more with you as we get closer to this update's release.

Festivities And Seasonal Content

Those who have played the demo may have seen that we teased the jousting festival. After the launch, we plan on adding an array of festivals to the game over time, which will be limited-time events in the game world that appear occasionally. We will also be doing seasonal content from time to time for things like Halloween, which may contain additional items or quests.

DLC And More Free Content

We plan to support Mirthwood post-launch with additional free content updates and paid DLC expansions. We will share more about these sometime in 2025, but we are incredibly excited to support the game over the long haul.

Localization for multiple languages is being worked on, and we are trying to complete it as soon as possible. However, as we are a two-man team, we are currently unsure if it will be fully implemented for the launch day. If we cannot finish it by the launch day, we will roll out localization in the days after the launch. Our priority is ensuring the game is finished and fixing as many bugs and performance issues as possible for the launch. Please be patient with our small team as we try to get everything done :)

Many of you have been asking about the game price and Steamdeck support. We are working on getting the Steam deck verified and can now confirm that the game price will be $24.99 or your regional equivalent.

We are both incredibly excited and nervous to have you all enter the world of Mirthwood. We are incredibly thankful for all the support and love you have given us and hope you enjoy your adventures.

German localization canceled! Steam Deck Demo Feedback

I must say I find it very disappointing that the German localization has been dropped. So the game is canceled for me. I was planning to play it on the Steam Deck in a nice relaxed way. Again, there is no guarantee that it will be supported at release. All unfortunately very very disappointing. I've also just tried out the demo on the Steam Deck OLED. It just runs terribly on it. 60 FPS cannot be maintained with any setting. If you switch on the shadows, the frame rate always drops to 15-17 frames. Even o...

Hi Folks, Daron here from Bad Ridge Games. We're excited to officially announce that Mirthwood will be available on September 11th!

We're excited and a bit (ok...very) nervous as we approach the launch, but mostly, we can't wait for you to step foot into the world, and to hear all about your experiences (and feedback!). We plan to support Mirthwood for a long time to come.

Also, while you're here, check out the latest trailer!

A Simulated World

27 May

Hi Folks, Daron here from Bad Ridge Games. Today, we’re taking a look at how the world around you functions in Mirthwood.

Seasons of Change

In Mirthwood, you will experience the distinct beauty and challenges of the seasons - Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter - with each bringing its own crops, colors, and events. With Mirthwood being an open-world, this has been no small task. The game features seven large main regions, each with unique aesthetics and sub-biomes. This means each change of season offers a myriad of new visuals depending on where you travel.

Transitioning into Winter will have the most impact on gameplay. With no crops to be grown, you’ll need to shift your focus to other tasks like mining, upgrades, or other adventures. For the inhabitants of the world, potential shortages of food can be deadly.

Raising the Stakes

Most NPCs in Mirthwood are mortal and can pass away, whether from starvation, illness, or if they find themselves the victim of a bandit or animal attack.

This gives NPCs real and tangible goals to work towards. Mortality also paves the way for organic stories to develop. Characters that die will be known to you, possibly even close friends. While there may be opportunities for you to intervene, not every life can be saved. Those who die are buried, and in time, replaced by a new immigrant from the Continent.

The Storyteller

Mirthwood’s storyteller will generate Events of varying intensity to keep things interesting. Some Events are seasonal - you might encounter a Heatwave in Summer or a Blizzard in Winter. Other Events can happen year round, like a Full Moon (...enjoy). Not all Events present challenges. You’ll be notified if a Traveling Merchant is nearby, or if the Trade Ship has arrived and docked at the coast, bringing rare items from the Continent.

Survival & Crafting

Mirthwood will feature survival-lite gameplay. You’ll need to pay attention to your core vitals - Health, Stamina, and Hunger. If you decide to set out and travel across the map, be sure to have a plan for food. Many herbs and berries can be foraged, but cooked meals offer the most benefit. Herbs will also help you craft elixirs and medicines vital to curing illnesses.

You’ll discover campsites and settlements across the map that serve as respites, places to cook, sleep, and save your progress. Some of these campsites can be upgraded and turned into strategic homes-away-from-home for your character. Here you'll be able to access your stash, cook, and craft gear provided you have the materials.

Hopefully that gives you some insight into world experience in Mirthwood. Let us know what questions you have!

Difficulty options?

Hi, first off: the demo was amazing and I can't wait to play the game in a few days! I was wondering whether there will be difficulty options at launch that could make the game more accessible or potentially turn off the survival mechanics? Thanks, love your work so far!...
