Wildforge 0.8.2

Wildforge 0.8.2 brings the completed content and exploration update to Windows.

• Smaller 800 m map with 24 paid chests per realm and five reward choices.
• 400 added items, skills and weapon variants; 759 total catalog entries.
• Richer painted icons with distinct card seals and individually illustrated new weapons.
• Jump Boots increase jump height; Extra Hop adds an air jump.
• Clear beaches and an animated deadly sea around the island.
• Fully revealed minimap with merchants, supply signals, chests, landmarks, pots, potions, gates and party markers.
• Co-op merchant transaction timing fixed to avoid a stuck pending purchase.
• Merchants, banish, elemental reactions, co-op rescue/pings, supply defence, 108 achievements and hero quips.
• Fragile ordinary ranged enemies with longer attack cooldowns; bosses and playable heroes retain separate rules.

Download the Windows ZIP, extract it, and run Wildforge.exe. Keep Wildforge.pck beside the executable. SHA256SUMS.txt provides the archive checksum. Existing career data is retained.

Validation includes integrated gameplay/render checks and a packaged local co-op host/guest run. See the repository's build notes for evidence and test limits.

Wildforge 0.7.9 — Colour, choices and character

Brighter worlds, more satisfying upgrades and a little extra nonsense.

• Discover six colourful landmarks, from a giant bloom to a planet garden.
• Skill cards have detailed illustrations distinct from guns, animated reveals and different selection sounds for each power family.
• Reroll unwanted choices with coins: press R, Xbox Y or the button. Full weapon slots keep offering upgrades to your weapons.
• Boxes sneeze coins. Your third hand celebrates weapon upgrades with a thumbs-up.
• Fixed range upgrades, fast bullets missing enemies, weak thorns damage, frozen enemy attacks and selection focus when switching controls.
• Reduced repeated work in card generation, icons and previews.

The packaged build passed focused feature checks, a crowded six-biome run and co-op checks. Occasional hitches remain; this is still an alpha.

Extract the Windows ZIP and launch Wildforge.exe. Existing saves remain compatible.

Wildforge 0.7.8 — smoother crowds and enemy attack fixes

Crowds should feel much smoother, and enemies should spend their time chasing you instead of circling invisible obstacles.

• Fixed enemies avoiding the hero before they could attack.
• Fixed enemies treating walkable slopes as walls.
• Improved routes around scenery so crowds keep moving.
• Reduced repeated work in enemy movement, terrain and XP drops.
• Frozen enemies can no longer hurt you through contact.

The packaged build passed checks for all attack behaviours, crowd navigation and XP collection, plus a crowded run through all six biomes. Performance improved substantially on our test PC, but occasional hitches remain. This is still an alpha.

Download the Windows ZIP, extract the whole folder and launch Wildforge.exe. Your existing saves work with this update. No Steam account needed.

Megabonk Wildforge Mod 0.4.0 - combat and feedback (alpha)

Megabonk Wildforge Mod 0.4.0 — combat and feedback

• Wildforge weapons use source base damage and firing rates. The starting gun deals 15 damage and fires every 0.61 seconds before upgrades.
• Cards refresh equipped weapon stats. Tests compare real damage and cooldown before/after stacking and removal.
• Basic visible models for all 65 weapons, with low-poly gun fallback and original flower/turret models.
• Distinct procedural weapon/action sounds; recoil, growing/swaying flowers, turret aiming/tracers and expanding effect cues.
• Shift or right mouse: dash. R: deploy equipped turret. Ctrl in air: slam. On-screen controls and cooldown feedback.
• Turret-capacity cards now increase deployment capacity up to four; flowers and turrets use equipped weapon power.
• Descriptions state the actual stat, units and conditions instead of repeating a card title or showing confusing negative bonuses.
• Native attack dispatch and return pools support custom weapon identities.

Windows x64 Megabonk 1.0.69 with BepInEx 6 IL2CPP x64 build 6.0.738. Install the loader separately; extract the manual ZIP into the game folder. Uses a separate Wildforge save profile.

Development alpha: source projectile/status/boss parity and full-run balance remain in development. AI tools assisted development and generated portions of the original art.

Development alpha 0.3.0 adds skills compatibility, mixed rosters and content pools, and HP fill inside Wildforge actor orbs. Native actors retain their original indicators.

Requires Windows x64 Megabonk 1.0.69 and BepInEx 6 IL2CPP x64 build 6.0.738. Loader installed separately. Extract the manual ZIP into the game folder. Saves use a separate Wildforge profile.

Wildforge 0.7.7 — Windows alpha

Wildforge 0.7.7 — standalone Windows alpha

Download the Windows ZIP, extract the entire folder and run Wildforge.exe. No installation, Steam account or purchase is needed.

• Four-player standalone co-op: nearby LAN party discovery and direct IP/hostname/VPN joining.
• Local achievements and scores; existing progress is preserved.
• Stronger enemies drop more XP; touching XP orbs merge into larger glowing drops.
• Improved crowd navigation and spawning while exploring.
• Removed Steam integration and old publishing tools.

Choose Play with friends → Host Party. Friends join before the host starts. Remote friends need a shared VPN or reachable public IP with UDP 29736 forwarded. There is no hosted relay or matchmaking service.

This is an unfinished development alpha. Packaged host/client checks passed for discovery, shared combat, party pauses and world travel. Public-internet router traversal, four separate physical PCs and all controller hardware combinations have not been verified. Community suggestions currently save locally; automatic online feedback sharing is planned.
