Hello! Here is a smaller update with some bug fixes and a bit of tank balancing and enhancing. Tanks were previously pretty OP vs. infantry. I’ve balanced things out by reducing the blast radius of tank shell explosions. This change has the added bonus of making tank combat more interesting by requiring a more tactical […]

There Will Be Ink – Beta 6.1 – Jolly Edition 2020
Hello there! I hope everyone is well. I didn’t realize how much had changed since beta 6.0 until I put it all together in the list below. It turns out there are a good many things! Two of the biggest changes, pathfinding and a new dynamic stat system, are not very exciting from a gameplay […]
There Will Be Ink – Beta 6.0 – Tanks!
Hello, friends! There is a new build out today for There Will Be Ink. Beta 6, let’s call it. It is a big one! There are tanks, new missions, reworked controls, a new game engine, AI and UI improvements, many enhancements and fixes, and much more. Before I jump into the details of the update, […]
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 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! – 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 1.0
Ahoy! Much progress has been made with There Will Be Ink this past month, making this perhaps the most significant update yet for the game. And so we are drop our Alpha undies to the floor and pull on our Beta short shorts! The latest version of the game can be found exclusively on itch.io. […]
There Will Be Ink – Alpha 5.1 Update
I’ve released a small update for Alpha 5, appropriately versioned Alpha 5.1. I seem to have made the behaviour of cover a little wonky shortly before the release of a5.0, so I’ve gone ahead and fixed a couple cover-related bugs. While I was at it I worked to improve and expand upon the cover mechanic […]
