Hello everyone!

Today we’ve got another update for you, containing extras that we weren’t quite able to squeeze into the Anniversary Update.
We’d also like to take this opportunity to update you on our Roadmap for Besiege in 2025. It is subject to change, but we wanted to give you some idea of what you can expect over the next year.

The first thing we’ve added in this update are the final two rulers from the Besiege campaign; The Withered King & Admiral Drasckar. Technically Drasckar was already present in the Splintered Sea campaign, but he’s received a cool makeover to make him stand out more!

Next up, we’ve added a whole bunch of new sounds to Besiege’s blocks, including the; Piston, Rope & Winch, Grenade and Flying Block. In particular these sounds create a really visceral experience when creating mechanical engines in game.

We’ve also added some missing objects from the Anniversary update to the level editor, including those from the new “Legacy” sandbox level, which you can now use to create your own playgrounds! The island rulers are also placeable in the level editor.

Additionally, we’ve added two new “Source Cube” skins into the game, which can be unlocked by completing the base game & Splintered Sea "Completionist" achievements respectively. We hope this’ll be a nice little reward/recognition of your achievements! :)

Lastly, we’ve made a bunch of small improvements and added new options to the game, which you can read about in the changelog below.

We also have a bit of bad news. The main reason this update took so long to release is that we spent a lot of time trying to fix an issue on Mac that was causing crashes. Unfortunately, after considerable effort, we've come to the conclusion that the issue is caused by the steam Leaderboards we added last update and it is not currently fixable.
This has meant that we've had to disable leaderboards indefinitely on M-core Macs. We apologise for this and if a solution ever presents itself, we will endavour to fix the problem and reenable leaderboards.

We hope the additions and improvements in this update are welcome ones, and we’re looking forward to an exciting year for Besiege & Spiderling!

Cheers,
Von
