WorldBox - God Simulator News

In the next update, we’re adding Languages💬 as the third/4 new type of "meta-object" in the game. They’ll become a key part of unit progression and the growth of civilizations.



Much like cultures, languages 💬 will influence opinions, loyalty, and now, learning.

Previously, units gained random attributes - such as Warfare⚔️, Diplomacy🕊️, Intelligence🧠, or Stewardship📝 - simply by aging. With this update, clan members can write books, and others can read them (if they know the language or possess a specific trait).

Books will grant experience to readers, making it possible for non-warrior characters to level up(level cap is increased a bit btw) without combat. They can also influence mood and happiness.



Similar to biological traits passed through birth, certain traits can now be shared through books and small talks, adding yet another layer to the civ-simulation.

Languages💬 and cultures won’t just belong to one species - they can cross borders. Even if a civilization is wiped out, their legacy can survive through their books.

And just like cultures and subspecies, languages can be customized using the Language Trait Editor.


Imagine this:

An ancient demon kingdom lies in ruins, but their language 💬 and culture endure in dusty tomes scattered across the land. If an ordinary mortal dares to read one of these hellish books, they might melt under its sheer power - unless, of course, they’re fireproof 🧑‍🚒 (or have a drink nearby).

But if someone succeeds? They could revive the demon culture, bringing it into their city. What would happen next? Who knows? Idk? 🎃

Bonus peeks:












We’re aiming to finish work on this update around late Q1 2025 ☠️

Stay tuned - our next announcement will be absolutely magical. 🕯️

Heyo! New sneak peeks! Related to clans and their increased importance🕯️ in the next update!

[h3]New Royal Clans UI[/h3]


[h3]Clan trait editor![/h3]
The new clan trait editor will affect all members of the clan, allowing you to create unique bloodlines that set them apart from the rest of ordinary folk their species, for better or worse.

Some traits will naturally depend on their species, while others will depend on the biome where they are born.



[h3]Clans and Cultures[/h3]
Royal Clans are now more intertwined with cultures.

Culture traits will affect succession rules, replacing the old only-primogeniture system where the eldest child automatically became the next ruler.
Now, succession laws can vary and even be combined, depending on the culture’s specific traits.

Some examples:

Clans will also be closely tied to another upcoming, yet-to-be-revealed mechanic ✨

Bonus walled off Greg:

While other god games might have been recently consigned to the scrapheap, the cute, toy-like WorldBox continues to improve. The early access god sim is going to start simulating family trees in its next update.

Happy holidays, everyone! We hope you're all enjoying and will continue to enjoy great times with your families.



Speaking of families, in our next update, we are adding a family system.
Family ties will affect relationships between characters.

To give you a brief overview, here are some screenshots(work in progress):


To represent families and their banners, we ended up using picture frames, which you can also customize and change colors. As usual you can also change family name


From the family screen, you can see which family members are currently alive.


You can explore family history and see the ancestral lines associated with it.


And in unit window you will be able to to view generation and the genealogy of your people and animals.


In the subspecies menu, you'll be able to see which families exist in the world that are related to them. Similarly, this applies to the kingdom/city view.


We're also adding an "Interesting Units" tab, where you can discover cool characters. This is especially handy when you're trying to find that last character from a forgotten culture or dead kingdom.


You'll also be able to view stat graphs showing how your people lived with the new Graphs tab. This feature works for every meta object: wars, alliances, kingdoms, cities, cultures, families, clans, subspecies and more!



We also have much more to show, including the main biggest feature!

Next year will be huge for WorldBox! And we finally will have most of the big mechanics that tie all simulation parts together!

Thank you, everyone, for playing WorldBox and your continued support(and patience!) !



Merry Xmas and happy coming New Year!
