There Will Be Ink – Beta 5.0.3 – Qualitah Update
Hey there, Billies! There is a new There Will Be Ink update out today, featuring mostly some quality-of-life updates. I was going to hold off until beta 5.1, which will feature Act II of the campaign (8 more missions), but I got a bit carried away and just about every new level has a new […]
There Will Be Ink – Beta 5.0.1 – Itch Bundle for Racial Justice & Equality + Update
Hey there! There Will Be Ink is currently part of itch.io’s Bundle for Racial Justice & Equality. All proceeds from the bundle will be split between the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund and the Community Bail Fund.

There Will Be Ink – Beta 5.0 – Major Update, Roadmap, & Giveaway
Hey there, amigos! I’ve got a big new There Will Be Ink update out now on Steam & Itch. The first “Act” of the main campaign is now available. The enemy this time around is made up of an alternate set of units with their own art, weapons, sound, etc. There’s a new tutorial mission […]
There Will Be Ink – Beta 4.3, “Hopeful Edition” – 8-Player, 8K
Oh hey there! I hope you are well. I’m calling this version of the game “There Will Be Ink: Hopeful Edition”, because it’s not likely that anyone is going to be able to take advantage of 8-player local multiplayer during these pandemic times, but I’m hopeful that won’t be the case for too long a […]
There Will Be Ink – Beta 4.2 – There Will Be Fire!
Hee haw! First off, I hope everyone is staying healthy out there. These are strange times. I’ve been working on a few aspects of There Will Be Ink, many of which are out today in the new update, live now on Steam and itch.io. In addition to that, TWBI is 30% off until Monday, March […]
There Will Be Ink – Beta 4.1 – Fancification Update
Hey there! This update is mostly a visual one. Gone are the old, pixelated, mouse-drawn graphics of old. In their place are just short of 200 hand-drawn images, for everything from unit animations, weapons, trees, rivers, rocks, explosions and fire, buildings, GUI items (like magazines, bullets, etc), the T-Rex (of course), and more. The new […]
There Will Be Ink – Beta 4! – Campaign Editor, Badges, Missions, Abilities, Fancification…
Oodellllally! There are quite a few new things in store this month, and we’re now on the road to version 1.0. Campaign Editor I’m not sure how much use it will see, but for a long while I’ve wanted to add a campaign editor to There Will Be Ink. At last, that day has come! […]
There Will Be Ink – Beta 3.1.2 – A Big Boring Update
Hap-py New Year! I’ve started the year off right-ish by fixing a couple significant memory leak bugs that I’d previously overlooked, along with some smaller bug fixes, optimizations, and enhancements. The memory leak fixes probably won’t be noticeable to those with lots of RAM (except perhaps on long sessions), but players with lower end systems […]
There Will Be Ink – Beta 3.1 – Sale, Yeti, Tactical Commands, New Sounds
Hey there! There Will Be Ink is now 25% as part of the Steam holiday sale. Also out today is a new update! This is a small update with a potentially big impact. Players can now order units to hold position (‘h’ on keyboard, press left analog button on gamepad). Doing so will have the […]
