Warbell v0.7.0

First-person mode, a keep that visibly grows as you fortify it, archers on the
roof, and a fortress that finally runs the night.

Download: Warbell-Setup.msi below (Windows 10/11, free).

New

  • First-person view. Press V (or the HUD FP button) to drop inside the
    knight's eyes — an arms-and-sword viewmodel with your shield raised, tuned so the
    blade actually reads in frame.
  • Your keep grades up as you fortify it. Build walls and corner turrets sprout;
    reinforce it and the towers gain gold caps and fly banners. Your defenses now show
    on the castle itself, not just in a menu.
  • Archers man the roof. Once you own the Keep Archers upgrade, four archers
    physically stand the battlements and loose into the siege.
  • The Hold runs the night. Gnashfang Hold to the south now musters each assault —
    at nightfall its gate swings open and the war-horn blares, and the horde marches in
    from the fortress's direction instead of materializing evenly around you. It shuts at
    dawn.
  • Bramble Sweep heals your line. The sweep art is now a field medic — it mends
    nearby guards and villagers in a 6-tile aura on cast, not just the hero, so you can
    keep an army alive.

Combat & balance

  • Wardens are a real duel now. More HP, harder hits, faster footwork, and a tighter
    crit cadence so a geared hero can't melt them. Their killing blow telegraphs with a
    rising charge-whine and a slow camera pull-back — an audible, visible cue to block or
    dodge before it lands.
  • Build menu greys out anything you can't afford, so you can read your options at a
    glance.

Fixed

  • Quest & tutorial progress survives Continue. Loading a save no longer restarts the
    tutorial from the top.
  • Knockback respects walls. Shoving an ork or animal can no longer punt it through a
    wall or a building — and won't trap one stuck inside a prop.
  • New Game / Restart resets in the same window — no more close-and-reopen flicker.
  • Courtyard props are solid (no walking through the set-dressing); laundry lines stay
    walk-through so you don't snag on them.

Project

  • Warbell is now source-available under the PolyForm Noncommercial license, and the
    website lives in the game repo.

The installer is self-signed, so Windows SmartScreen will show "Unknown Publisher."

code-signing certificate.)
