Variable State will announce a new timeline for the playtest once confirmed.
The small team hopes to work closely and candidly with community members, seeking honest feedback at an early stage of development.

Bad Ridge Games, the two-man development team behind the highly anticipated fantasy life-sim Mirthwood has announced that the game’s official release has been postponed to November 6th, 2024.
The decision to delay the launch comes from a desire to deliver a more complete and polished experience. “We want Mirthwood to be the best it can be on day one,” said Daron Otis at Bad Ridge Games.
“As a small, passionate team, we’ve worked tirelessly to create a world that players will love, but we felt there were still key areas, like performance optimization, localization, and some of the systems, that need to be fleshed out and more attention before launch.”
The extra development time will allow Bad Ridge Games to fine-tune the gameplay experience, improve overall performance, and ensure Mirthwood is fully localized for players worldwide. “Releasing a game that isn’t 100% ready isn’t something we want to do,” said Michael Brown, CEO of V Publishing.
“We’re committed to ensuring that when Mirthwood reaches players’ hands, it’s as polished as possible. The fans of the game are the most important thing, and making them happy is more of a priority than hitting a date, no matter what.”
Microids and Savage Level are thrilled to reveal the third and final making of for Flint: Treasure of Oblivion. After exploring the motivations and inspirations behind the game in the first episode, and then the storytelling in the second, this new video focuses on the gameplay mechanics.
This third making-of discusses the challenges the studio faced in creating authentic gameplay mechanics while staying true to the pirate-themed universe. It also highlights how different archetypes are managed to develop effective strategies. Battles, particularly the 15 vs. 15 skirmishes, require precise management of your crew’s skills but, above all, a good tactical sense, utilizing verticality and unit positioning. Inspired by board games and role-playing games, the gameplay is designed to be both accessible and deep, offering players an experience that is both intuitive and demanding.
