[b]On February 1st, we’ll celebrate the one-year anniversary of revealing Be My Horde to the world![/b] Yes, one year ago, we announced the game and introduced you to Moriana and her malevolent horde. It was one of the most pivotal moments in Polished Games' history. After that day, nothing was ever the same… [h2]DOWN MEMORY LANE[/h2] Looking back, [b]we’re amazed at how much the game has evolved and how far our team has come[/b]. And wow, how naive we were back then! Check out [url=https://steamcommunity.com/games/2499520/announcements/detail/4043737902289562554]this cringe-worthy announcement[/url] from last year (our writing has improved since then, we promise), where we boldly shared the Early Access launch date: [b]February 29th[/b]. Well… that didn’t happen, of course. [b]And we have YOU to thank for that![/b] As you know—because we mention it in almost every announcement—Be My Horde was originally planned as a small, experimental project to help us learn a few things and build our team. The plan was simple: announce it, release it, polish it, and speedrun to version 1.0. But then you stepped in. Your overwhelmingly positive feedback inspired us to dream bigger, to delay the Early Access launch, and to create something much more ambitious. And the rest, as they say, is history. The evolution of Be My Horde has been nothing short of amazing. Just take a look at how much the game has visually transformed since the demo days. And that’s not even mentioning the programming and design improvements under the hood!

Just for a bit of nostalgia. [b]Be sure to update the game—we’ve added a new (but technically old) skin for Moriana[/b]: The Shamebringer! It’s a classic look for our seductive necromancess, straight from the days when she led her hordes in the demo. Just a heads-up, though—[b]this is an authentic throwback, so don’t expect animations or facial expressions[/b]. It’s classic stiff Moriana… as weird as that sounds. However, it’s also a [b]SECRET SKIN[/b]! That means you’ll need to take a very specific action to unlock it. As a reward for those who read our fascinating announcements, we’re revealing the secret here—giving you an edge over other players! [b]To unlock The Shamebringer skin[/b], simply click TWELVE times on the [i]Credits Structure[/i] in The Dominion. And… that’s it! The skin will be waiting for you in Moriana’s wardrobe. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44366003/6ea3bf8f14f8ededc3a5d2e6e5392df0b4cac847.gif[/img] The skin isn't all will bringing with this patch along. We also provide the game with a few bug fixes. Check the patch notes out: 💀 Fixed Moriana disappearing while reviving on the Grim Shepherd skin; 💀 Fixed resetting sound options on relaunching the game; 💀 Fixed starting screen always having 100% volume; 💀 Fixed Kingdom tab in the Achievements UI; 💀 Removed 'ESC' as a possible key bind in the Controls tab; 💀 Fixed Richard’s auto attacks not dealing damage to Moriana. This is probably the last time we’ll be looking back, but this anniversary gives us the perfect excuse to do so. It’s been an incredible year, no doubt, but going forward, our focus is on the future! [b]In the next announcements, we’ll be sharing details about the exciting new level we’re working on[/b]. Expect reveals of enemies, features, and all sorts of fun surprises very, very soon. Stay tuned, and don’t forget to [b][url=https://bit.ly/BMHDiscordSteam]join our Discord server[/url][/b]! There, we’ve launched a special thread called “Moriana’s Diary,” where Moriana herself will occasionally take you behind the scenes of her crusades. Take care, and as always… [b]PRAISE BE MORIANA!
