Hello, long time no hear in this news section! In particular to the new players from the Spring Sale, as well as from the current Checkmate! Humble Bundle.This is a maintenance fix that addresses issues with Steam Deck compatibility and achievements not trigge…
Hey everyone, It appears a recent Steam Deck update broke the native build of Pawnbarian - the game launches, but isn't playable. I can't check right now, but I assume the same is true for Linux on regular PCs. I'm figuring out a maintenance fix, but until the…
change: updated JP localization (thanks Lunalia!) change: adjusted compression settings for some assets, let me know if anything looks funny fix: Nomad shot now properly affected by SFX volume settings Cheers, Jan
Yo! Just a few changes for a few languages this time around. - change: updated PL localization (thanks Agata & fri!) - change: updated IT localization (thanks BRino!) - change: updated PT-BR localization (thanks ivanilos!) Cheers, Jan
new: Latin-American Spanish localization (thanks Diego Hernández!) new: Ukrainian localization (thanks Lacki23!) change: small update to the French localization (thanks Wok!) change: small update to the Finnish localization (thanks Minilammas!) On another note…
Yo! The demo version is available again. It didn't sit right with me that the game's mobile version has a free demo available and the Steam one doesn't, so I spent some time tweaking the game to create an updated demo without any of the mobile-specific stuff. …
...and I'm holding a record low 50% off sale to celebrate! I have no surprise patches prepared, but as a small treat, check out this lovely piece I comissioned from my buddy SquareAnon. It's sized exactly to potentially serve as a 16:9 4K wallpaper. open full …
The game has a brand new Finnish localization by Minilammas. Thank you! Again, there were some mobile-specific QoL tweaks that should be invisible on desktop, but let me know if anything behaves weirdly. new: Finnish localization change: other tiny localizatio…
Yo! The game has a brand new Bulgarian localization by Christiyan Zhechev. The Japanese localization was overhauled by Lunalia. Thank you so much! There were also some quality of life tweaks, but they mostly relate to other platforms and should be invisible on…
Yo! The three weaker characters are getting buffed. The Pawnbarian is getting a pretty significant buff of two extra upgrades in his starting deck. He wasn't necessarily the weakest of the bunch, but he's the face of and the introduction to the game, so the po…
Yo! You know the drill by now. Danish by Thomas Brøcker. Tak! Hungarian by Roland Kalászi and Richard Nagy. Kösz! Korean by Kim Pilra. Gamsahaeyo! Russian by kivy0. Spasibo! The community translation effort is ongoing. Do you want to help translate into anothe…
Yo! Pawnbarian has been translated into Japanese by my wonderful girlfriend Agata Stasiak, and into Italian by a wonderful community member Robin Bernardinis. Thank you so much! The community translation effort is ongoing. Do you want to help translate into an…
Progressing through Chains might've been a bit too grindy to begin with, but definitely became so with the new characters introduced in 1.2.0. This has been completely reworked. The chains still require unlocking, but it can now happen much faster. The highest…
Yo! The new characters have been very well received overall, and exactly 0 bugs popped up. That being said, the Mystic turned out to be slightly overtuned. With 1.2.1, her starting deck no longer has Diagonal Splash on one of the Ghost pieces. She remains very…
Hello! Pawnbarian is almost exactly 6 months old today, and there's some fun stuff lined up for that. Most importantly, 1.2.0 is a major content update, bringing three new heroes into the game. The Nomad fights using her deadly aim with a bow instead of a mele…
Pawnbarian is part of the absolutely massive Stand with Ukraine Bundle, a charity bundle of games organized by Humble. 100% of the proceeds are going towards organizations dealing with the ongoing humanitarian crisis caused by the Russian invasion of Ukraine. …
That is all. Have a great day!
Yo! The Lunar New Year is almost upon us, and that's a prime occasion to release the traditional and simplified Chinese localizations of the game, gracefully provided by AJiang. Just as great to have is the Spanish localization by chuky666. Thank you so much! …
Thanks to community member Lazar Ljubenović, Pawnbarian is now available in Serbian in both Latin and Cyrillic script versions! The community translation effort is ongoing. Do you want to help translate into another language, or perhaps just suggest some chang…
