The Catapult Update is now live! (Update 1.1.7)

Castle Story

Castle Story is a creative voxel-based strategy game in which you can build castles one brick at a time using an army of little creatures called Bricktrons. Design and build your own castles, expand your territory in a vast landscape and defend your Bricktrons against onslaughts of hostile creatures.

We’re happy to ship a small but useful update to the catapult today making its use considerably easier than it was before. Hoping this’ll encourage players to make use of it as a viable defensive (and with a bit of creativity, offensive) measure for your base. In the past, ordering a catapult to fire didn’t immediately fire it. You had to wait for a Bricktron to make their way over there and trigger it. This could mean waiting a fairly long time or, if you had the good measure to assign a worker to the catapult, a shorter waiting time, but one none the less. A Bricktron was also needed to rotate/aim the catapult, causing the player to encounter these same delays. As of today, Bricktrons will automatically load catapults with a barrel without any intervention, as long as you have a reachable catapult and a stockpiled barrel. Once you order your catapult to fire, though, it will immediately fire without the need of a worker being nearby. Magic. Aiming will also not require workers. This makes the catapult considerably easier to use and much more efficient as a defensive structure. Oh, also, we removed the catapult’s randomized inaccuracy. It’s dead on where you want it to shoot now. In addition to that, we have several bug fixes; - Fixed an issue where selecting dynamic structures could break if you quit the game while typing a save game’s name. - Fixed an issue where typing the name of your map in the World Editor would move the camera around when using the letters W A S and D. - Fixed an issue where ranged units would focus their attacks on crystals instead of nearby enemy units. - Fixed an issue where sometimes, a ghost barrel would be stuck in the catapult and caused the catapult to misfire. - Fixed the Home Crystal’s HP bar being too small. Enjoy! :D
