The single-player campaign is ready to go, but Firefly wants multiplayer ready at launch
As the holiday season wrapped up, Stronghold: Warlords developer Firefly Studios faced a difficult decision: launch day was rapidly approaching, and the RTS game’s multiplayer mode still wasn’t performing the way it ought to. One option was to launch the single-player campaign on the scheduled release date, with the multiplayer mode to be added later.
“We were really, really considering that because we could have just released single-player, and that would have been a perfectly viable option in terms of what was actually ready at the time,” marketing director Nick Tannahill says. Other games have taken this approach recently: Iron Harvest added ranked multiplayer a few weeks after launch, but saw a wave of unfavourable Steam reviews over what users saw as ‘missing features’ thanks to that decision.

With the majority of UK school and college pupils now being told to stay at home, many parents and guardians are again adding home schooling to their list of responsibilities.
Apart from vulnerable children and the children of key workers, most primary and secondary age kids have switched back to home learning - something families previously adjusted to in the first lockdown back in 2020.
Keeping children focussed on work while they’re sat at the kitchen table – often at the same time as parents are trying to continue with their own work from home – can feel like an impossible task, but it’s important to keep positive and celebrate wins, irrespective of how small they seem. Yes, you might have bad days, but know these are to be expected and remember to take stock when a better day comes along.
