About this game
**Join the Official Discord !**
The Wall is a never-before seen mix of genres, where dynamic maps, slick combat, base building, and economy management all come together.
One of the main elements of this game is the enormous wall itself, in the center of each map, dividing teams until it is manually or automatically opened. The Wall, combined with the other features of the game, allow matches to progress in different ways, be it fast/aggression-based gameplay, slow/economy-based gameplay, or anything between.
With the slick combat of E-Sports FPS games, the long-term, economy-based strategy of RTS games, and the world-manipulation aspects of survival games, The Wall is a satisfying change from the mass of fast-paced, yet dull, online FPS games.
Every single battle in The Wall will be a new experience for the player. The economy of each team, the items of individual players, and other conditions dictate how matches unfold. Outside of matches is a player's persistent inventory, including skills and weapon customizations.
The Wall's economy is based on three currencies, energy, wood, and minerals. Each one allows players to build, buy, and upgrade in matches.
One of the main features of The Wall is the player's ability to manipulate the terrain and place down structures. Placing down fortifications, generators, and other structures help players gain an advantage. The unparalleled mechanic of digging introduces countless numbers of strategies that can be utilized to make each game exciting.

The Wall - Definitive Shutdown
With a heavy heart, I'm shutting down servers for The Wall. Ever since 2018, I've been working solo on this project. It's been an incredible journey of self-growth and knowledge, but to truly bring the community a multiplayer-service type game, I'd need a team to keep up with demand and to output content. My personal life has gotten really crazy outside of game dev and so I just don’t have the time to give you guys or the new team my all. Additionally, the team I mentioned before was composed of a lot of talented individuals, but because we’re all from around the world it was really hard to coordinate meetings and what not. Thank you to everyone who’s been here for the game and supported me. I can’t thank you guys enough but this is the end of the road. o7Read full article on Community Announcements (AeroMiles)Patch NotesOfficial
Update 1.6.0 - Profiles, Match Analytics, Item Progression, and New Patreon Skin
I've had a few people ask "ok, the game is fun, but what do I get for playing?" At first I was shocked by this question, thinking "well the point of playing the game is to play the game." However, after many people suggested adding leaderboards, career profiles, etc., I realized that just seeing the "victory" screen really doesn't mean much. Being able to see how you've done over time, look at match data, see how you stack on global leaderboards, and unlock new skins as you play would add so much more meaning to finishing matches. Version 1.6.0 contains the all new Player Profile, Match Analytics, and Item Progression systems. Here's a summary of each system: Player Profiles {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33605191/7873c498d6382e7b26f86cce8a3573bf292e54d5.png View anyone's profile through your squad or match history. Match Analytics {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33605191/d103232c5ac8808bffa4468e2bd7213e0e31bf8f.png This is the match overview page. It shows a generic leaderboard with details about the match. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33605191/a80b47ca34c029b533e21644e739fb5c5e16e59e.png This is the graphs page, where you can analyze various metrics throughout the match. Item Unlock System {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33605191/fa8a1147e1f427777fc0ccbd3c6673c8d49ef5d1.png Along with the axe, almost every gun has 5 skins to unlock based on kills. I hope to expand this to include items in the future! February Patreon Skin Drop - Prismatic Web {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33605191/f157889baeb3331510946fa58b4be726bf810092.png Originally I wanted to make a skin that had a theme to match this update. I tried playing around with various textures that resembled graphs and stats but couldn't get anything to look good. Almost ready to quit, I flipped some random switches in Substance Painter and finally had an "AHA" moment. 20 minutes later "Prismatic Web" was born. Changelog Added player profiles Added ELO system to track global player rank (casual) Added item progression and 50+ new skins Added new "Prismatic Web" Patreon skin...Read full article on Community Announcements (AeroMiles)Patch NotesOfficial
Update 1.5.0 - New Maps and 3v3-centric Gameplay
Intro This update hones in on what makes the game fun - intimate, strategic, quick paced action. Throughout the many matches that the community and I myself have played, it's generally agreed upon that 3v3 matches are the most fun. Games tend to be fast paced and it's easy to coordinate with teammates. In 4v4+ matches, the map tends to get overloaded with turrets, barricades, buildings, etc., causing lag and frustration as matches tend to stalemate and last 50+ minutes. Update 1.5.0 limits matches to 3v3 and brings you maps oriented for the 3v3 experience. New Map - The Veil {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33605191/6fe31094173dfa2148b2e2b149743e14ec87abf2.png Hanging platforms, a vertical playstyle, and aggressive turrets inside of the wall set this map apart from any map that has been in the game. New Map - Water Treatment {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33605191/efb96a9af97bc8c24564613dfcc5741f66758329.png This map features a "Tri-Wall" that lacks a timer. Players decide when they want to attack, be it through entry point A, B, or C. Reworked Map - Oasis {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33605191/727a7248cd267d8a58452910cdf0d6dbd05d2c18.png Oasis has been shrunk down significantly, catering towards the new 3v3 playstyle. It's aesthetics have been revamped and the map feels much more like a map, as opposed to a random assortment of rocks. Changelog Two brand new maps Reworked "Oasis" map Oriented the game towards 3v3 (squads, lobbies, etc.) Better looking environments overall Added self destruct for turrets and missile defenses Reduced overheal cap from 200 to 140 Can now place healing stations anywhere, but limited to 2 Reduced shovel draw time Reduced health of turret from 200/400/600 to 200/300/400 Fixed camera sway not working!
