ASKA News

[p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][h3]ASKA 1 year anniversary![/h3][p]
Vikings, it’s hard to believe, but it’s been officially ONE YEAR since we released ASKA in Steam Early Access! It continues to be one of our greatest adventures and endeavours as of yet! It’s been a very exciting year and jumping from update to update sometimes makes the past blend into a wonderfully hectic and colorful blur, so we’re taking a step back to look at all the things we’ve managed to achieve in this one year of early access. [/p][p][/p][h3]40% Discount![/h3][p]And to top it off, we’re lopping off 40% of the game’s price, making it THE best time to jump in the game, either alone or with friends. Let’s dive in the past!
[/p][h3]6 major updates[/h3][p]We’ve managed to deliver 6 chunky content updates, making the current version of ASKA quite a different beast from the initial release of the game. [/p][p]
[/p][h3]Update 1 - August 2024: Custom Game Mode and more![/h3][p]The first major update saw the addition of the Custom Game mode, during a time when the game was getting a bit of negative feedback for the base mode being too harsh, one of the most common requests being the addition of a “peaceful mode”. With the Custom Game we allowed the gentler vikings to take it easy and enjoy building and crafting at their own leisure without fear of Revenant attacks. Or, on the contrary, those who needed more of a challenge now had the option to crank up the enemy headcount and biome scarcity. [/p][p]Among other additions, the Outhouse (“RAAAAGH-OOOF”) brought some relief to both Vikings and farms, the Beauty Pit allowed players to customize their character mid-session, the Metal Parts Collector made Villagers take better care of their scrap iron and the Spiky Walls made life a living hell for marauding Smolkrs and Skellies.[/p][p]
[/p][h3]Update 2 - October: Farmers and Fighters[/h3][p]This important update brought a much needed feature to the farming system - the ability to schedule crops, allowing for automatic crop rotation. Hard to believe there was farming before this, right? Another much needed addition was the Militia system and the horn, which overhauled village defense and added another layer of depth to how fighters work.[/p][p]We also shed light on the Caves, adding the ability to place torches and we made the crawler dens defeatable, and we also added the Steam Cloud Save system![/p][p]
[/p][h3]Update 3 - November: Dedicated Servers Update[/h3][p]November brought on one of the most requested features: Dedicated Servers and in-game chat. The world also changed forever as part of this update were also the new terraforming tools: the Roadplanner and Pathmaker, making ramps and automated road building a reality. Archers also got better and the game received some very important visual facelifts, with new shaders, reworked materials and improved lighting.[/p][p]
[/p][h3]Yule Update - December 2024[/h3][p]A festive gift[/p][p]we had in store[/p][p]For all you Vikings[/p][p]Who cried “More!”[/p][p][/p][p]December brought in the Yule tree and decorations, as well as a HOST of other improvements for things like the Bloomery, patrol routes and some warehouse wars.[/p][p]
[/p][h3]Update 4 - February: Trees Regrow![/h3][p]This has been our all-time most well received update and made trees an infinite resource with the addition of the Forester. Our metrics so far indicate that you considered this to be the most exciting of all updates. Besides trees, we’ve also added the Explosive Sacks, making iron renewable, virtually making all the resources in the game infinite. Caves were also caught in the spotlight and received a much needed rework.[/p][p]
[/p][h3]Steam Deck Update - March[/h3][p]Hard work was also done to make ASKA run smoothly on the Steam Deck marshalling the dawn of a new kind of player: the COUCH VIKING. ASKA would no longer be restricted to the cumbersome desktop, but would learn to travel by plane, boat, bus and train.[/p][p][/p][h3]Update 5 - March: Lakes and Outposts[/h3][p]Also in March we finished work on the brand new outpost system, which allowed players for the first time to set up decentralized sub-settlements, adding a whole new layer of management to the entire villager system. Lakes were also added, marking the first time we’ve added a major new biome to the game after the EA release. Besides this, we’ve also added a whole new array of thatch buildings and PIES made their first appearance[/p][p]
[/p][h3]Update 6 - May: Tinkerers and Armorers[/h3][p]Our most recent update at the time of writing, this update allowed vikings to research new weapons using ancient looted weapons, the armorsmith was added, and probably most importantly: bombs now gained the ability to remove the dreaded unremovable rocks! As usual, a nice assortment of new buildings also graced the Build Menu, like the Lookout, the Proud Chieftain’s House. Also, last but not least, the party system was implemented.[/p][p][/p][p]Beyond the major updates, we’ve also delivered tens of patches and hotfixes and we’ll continue to do so - we’ve only just begun![/p][p][/p][h3]Our Wonderful Community[/h3][p] But by far our greatest achievement was being lucky enough to gather such a wonderful, friendly and helpful community around the game. Every developer has their concerns when it comes to how a community might evolve, but ASKA has been blessed with one of the nicest playerbases we have ever encountered as gamers ourselves. Your trust, feedback and bug reports are what made ASKA grow and we hope you realize that you’ve managed to help this tight indie team power through one of their most daunting projects ever. In a world where a lot of things can go wrong it seems A LOT of things went GOOD for ASKA, and it’s you, our alpha, beta and early access players we’re thankful for making this happen.[/p][p]
[/p][h3]What’s next?[/h3][p]We’re almost done with our next update, so expect good news really soon[/p][p]
[/p][h3]Our Community team[/h3][p]We would also like to thank our former community manager Paige for all the wonderful work she’s done for ASKA before passing the torch unto Aleksandar, our brand new shiny community manager! We’ve been fortunate to work alongside some wonderful people from Thunderful Games and this last year of development has been nothing short of spectacular.[/p][p]
An endless round of applause also goes to our faithful Discord mods: Alvoro, Hydra, Khaos, Marvin Redsock, Remize and ZapZockt, without whom we couldn’t have done anything! We’re also thankful to our Viking Veterans who have been with us since the very first versions of the game AND some of whom have been with us since our older days back during BOSSGARD’s development.[/p][p]
[/p][h3]Dev Stream Today: Playing old ASKA Builds![/h3][p]We’ll be streaming today to celebrate the anniversary, and we thought it would be really cool to turn back the clock and play some VERY old ASKA builds, just to remind ourselves of the long road which is ASKA’s development. [/p][p]Tune in on our Twitch channel at 19:30 CET: [dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p]

What's up Vikings, hope you're enjoying the latest major update so far! We managed to slay some nasty bugs just before the end of the week, here's what's new



[h3]CHANGELOG[/h3]
· Fixed a bug where players would be unable to load saves if there was a Tinkerer's Table with progress 100% and no item.
· Fixed a bug where dropping large items would no longer work after using the Tinkerer's Table;
· Looted weapons can no longer be stored in Workshop tool storages;
· Fixed Mines and Water Wells not being assigned to the correct outpost if built near another existing outpost.

That's it! Thanks for the bug reports and enjoy the weekend!

Yours bug-squishingly,
[h3]Sand Sailor Studio[/h3]

Hey Vikings, we're super proud to deliver our next major update which includes some big community requests like the ability to remove the indestructible rocks as well as a host of new buildings, new weapons, the long awaited party system, a fuel management overhaul and much more!
We’ve got a more detailed description for you here or you can skip to the bottom for the full changelog. Have fun!

[h2]New Features and Content[/h2]

[h3]Unremovable rocks are now removable![/h3]



Probably one of the oldest and most burning requests is allowing our fine vikings to remove the large decorative rocks littering the landscape. Well your prayers have been answered and the Norse God of Destroyable Rocks has blessed us.
To remove these decorative rocks you’ll have to use Explosive Sacks, which should make mines even more precious. Craft an explosive sack, place it by the rock which you want to destroy and detonate it. All rocks, regardless of their size require just one sack to be removed, just make sure you place the explosive device as close as possible to the rock. Happy landscaping!

[h3]New Buildings[/h3]



Besides adding new buildings, this update continues our efforts of bringing all buildings up to tier 2. Note: we call the “pit” buildings tier 0, the sticks and bark “huts” tier 1, and the plank and thatch “houses” tier 2.
Without further ado, here are all the new things you can build:

[h3]The Armorsmith and Improved Armorsmith[/h3]



We moved all armor making tasks to a new building: the armorsmith. This is essentially a hyper specialized workshop which will exclusively handle armor production.
The first Armorsmith is able to craft linen and leather armor pieces, while the Improved Armorsmith is able to handle metal armor.
This addition also helps us lighten the load of the Workshop worker’s AI.

[h3]New Item: Leather Scraps Gloves[/h3]

We’re also adding in a new pair of leather gloves, in case you got tired of the old linen ones. They’re more durable and provide better defense against the elements.

[h3]Proud Chieftain's House and the Party System[/h3]



The Chieftain’s Hut House can now be upgraded to the next tier, benefiting from increased durability, becoming paintable, and unlocking a brand new mechanic: the party.
After the Proud Chieftain’s House is built you will gain access to the brand new villager party system. What this essentially does is it allows you to assign villagers to your party.
Once in your party, your villagers will follow you around, fighting off hostiles that get too close, but, most importantly, you will be able to issue direct orders to them.
You can target resources and order villagers to harvest, pick them up, or carry them. You can target enemies and order your villagers to engage and you can also benefit from their added carrying capacity.
Just remember that they’re still your fellow vikings and they will need to eat and rest in order to survive.

[h3]Improved Charcoal Maker[/h3]



Something’s burning in your village, and it’s no longer just firewood. The Improved Charcoal Maker allows you to burn a wide variety of resources and turn them into coal. Burning priorities can be set from the task menu.
You can reorder them left to right, with left being the highest priority, and you can also outright prevent some types of fuel from being burned.

[h3]Fuel System Overhaul[/h3]

While on the topic of the Charcoal Maker, it’s a good time to mention that we’ve reworked how fuel is consumed and how fuel types are chosen by villagers.
All fuel-burning structures now feature a new task in their respective task menus, so you get much more control over what gets burned for fuel and where.
AI improvements have also been made to the way villagers look for fuel and how they keep fires lit.

[h3]New Resource & Fuel Type: Fish Blubber and Fish Oil[/h3]

Fishing has just become more worthwhile with the addition of Fish Blubber. This fatty resource can be obtained from harvesting various types of fish and can be cooked at the Coooking House into Fish Oil.
Fish Oil can be used instead of Resin, so now you get more control and more choice when it comes to keeping your runestones and lanterns lit

[h3]Improved Kennel[/h3]

The dog’s house is getting a nice upgrade as well, boasting increased durability, while also allowing you to paint it to your liking.

[h3]Healing House[/h3]


The new healing house is stronger and can be painted, making it a fine addition in the new collection of plank and thatch buildings.

[h3]Improved Market[/h3]



The new market building increases the number of workers to 3 and comes with 3 fresh new carts ready to take your precious goods to the far reaches of your territory. As before, it’s far sturdier and can be painted.
Like in the case of the regular Market, you get a slight discount in building cost when creating a Market with three carts as opposed to building 3 individual carts, and they’re also quicker to build since there’s one build site for all three of them.

[h3]Lookout[/h3]



If you’ve ever wanted more in-universe means of getting a bird’s-eye view of your hard work, this is where the Lookout comes in.
The Lookout is an excessively tall tower which features a custom camera setup so you can see further in the distance and at a wider FOV, perfect for taking screenshots or just chilling on top of the world.
The Lookout can be found under the Decorations tab.

[h3]New Skeleton and Draugar Variants[/h3]

Our scouts’ reports bear ill tidings, as the skeletons and draugr seem to have unearthed new ancient weaponry. Your undying enemies will now come equipped with new warhammers, battle axes and bows. Beware the Bashers, who wield one-handed hammers and shields, the Bonkers who wield mighty two handed warhammers and the Headsmen, wielders of dreadful two handed battle axes. Bronze swords and axes have also been replaced with Draugar variants, so they all fit nicely together.
Your new enemies will also drop their weapons when harvesting their bodies, which brings us to our next addition…

[h3]Tinkerer’s Table[/h3]



The Improved Metalworker features an all-new workstation revealing a new mechanic! The Tinkerer’s Table allows you to study ancient enemy equipment and gain knowledge on what these weapons originally looked like.
The studying process is an arcane one and during the process the item is broken, surrendering precious crafting materials and progress towards unlocking new crafting recipes.
You can either carry out this process yourself or you can assign villagers to study the means by which your immortal foes make war.
Every rusty weapon reveals a distinct recipe for a Reforged Ancient version of it. Reforged weapons are superior to their regular iron counterparts in terms of durability and damage.

[h3]Painting System Overhaul[/h3]

Building and clothing painting remains one of the most underused mechanics in the game so we decided to streamline the process a bit.
For clothing and armor, dye can now be applied directly from the inventory instead of going through the painting process at the Dyer.
Painting buildings has also been made easier, so hopefully moving onwards villages start getting more and more colorful!

[h3]Armor and Clothing Decay[/h3]

Previously armor and clothing was indestructible which made clothing production quickly obsolete.This will ensure a constant and slow burn of items making flax production and clothing storage a necessity.
The change also makes better clothing much more valuable, so getting your villagers out of the flimsy shirt age will be something budding tribe leaders will have to concern themselves with.

Make sure you check the changelog below for the complete list of changes!
