Mads fra War of Rights her. For en måneds tid siden udgav vi den seneste store update til vores Technical Alpha "The Drill Camp". Her kan I se en video captured fra den dag.

Vi har nu travlt med næste store update der blandt andet inkluderer en upgrade fra CRYENGINE 3 til 5.
Jeg ville bare lige gøre jer opmærksomme på, at War of Rights netop nu deltager i den, for nyligt, lancerede CRYENGINE Indie Development Fund lavet af Crytek.
Vi har i den forbindelse lavet en lille ny Field Report som kan ses forneden. Vi håber nogle af jer kunne finde på at stemme på os.
På forhånd tak!
Field Report 30: Indie Fund, unit reveals & a glimpse of what's to come!
Hello and welcome to our thirtieth field report!
WoR at the CRYENGINE Indie Development Fund
A few weeks ago, Crytek launched their highly anticipated CRYENGINE Indie Development Fund which promises to help out CRYENGINE game projects currently in development by partially funding them. Three projects will be chosen to receive funding in each round. The winning projects will be selected based on numbers of likes received by the community & by Crytek.
War of Rights is currently on a third place thanks to all of your votes - we'd love to get back on the first place though, so we ask you all to please create an account and like War of Rights at: https://www.cryengine.com/development-f ... -of-rights in order to up our chances of receiving additional funding which will allow us to put even more work and details into the game.
The account creation is free and only takes a minute or so to go through. Here is a community-made video showcasing the steps: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pkaHrPNSg2c . The voting ends by late September.
Thank you!
New Regiments
It is no secret that we're hard at work on the next major update to the Technical Alpha here at Campfire Games. Some of the new content the next update brings includes new playable regiments. We'd like to reveal a few of them to you now.
14th Brooklyn
The 14th Brooklyn originally was formed from a consolidation of various state militias in New York City, and was like many state militias as it became a sort of gentleman’s club, where members could state their membership as a form of martial pride, though the monthly drills turned into more of a social drinking event. Their iconic wartime uniform did not come to pass until 1860, when the nationally famous Chicago Zouave Drill Cadets came through Brooklyn in their French-inspired Zouave uniforms, which the members of the 14th were impressed by. They changed their uniform after this fashion, and were one of few northern units to avoid the standardization of uniforms that began in 1862. At the First Battle of Bull Run, it was General Jackson who gave them their nickname when he warned his Virginia units, "Hold On Boys! Here come those Red Legged Devils again!"
12th South Carolina & 42nd Pennsylvania
Initially formed from the call for volunteers put out by the Confederate States’ president Jefferson Davis, the ranks of the 12th quickly swelled as war loomed. Their initial duty was to help guard the coast of South Carolina before being attached to the Army of Northern Virginia, first engaging their northern foes at the Seven Day’s Battle in A.P. Hill’s Light Division. It was this division that helped to process the 12,000 Union prisoners and supplies from Harper’s Ferry as the battle near Antietam Creek flared. When they and the other members of A.P. Hill’s Division entered the battle against the Union’s far left flank, they were initially confused as friendly reinforcements. This was due to their wearing the Union’s blue jackets freshly captured from the stores at Harper’s Ferry.
The 13th Pennsylvania Reserve Regiment, the 42nd PA Infantry, and the 1st Rifles are all names for the same unit, which is much more universally known as the Pennsylvania Bucktails. This name spawns from many members’ habit of wearing deer tails in their kepis. They served with great distinction throughout their time in service, and when they first enlisted were given 1837 .69 caliber smoothbores, which many refused since they were a rifle unit. They wanted the new 1861 Springfields that had been promised to them. While this was eventually issued, some even were able to get ahold of the 1859 Sharps Rifles, a weapon usually only given to sharpshooter units.
A glimpse of what's to come
We created this, somewhat shorter than usual, field report primarily in order to put focus on the CRYENGINE Indie Development Fund. We have several big things cooking in the secret development pot which we can't wait to share with you all very soon - it is tasty!
More content both in and out of the game as well as core changes that will help securing a steady development of War of Rights in the long run is just some of what you can expect in the next couple of weeks!
The visuals will receive quite an overhaul in the not too distant future - pretty, isn't it?
