Soulash 2 News

[p]Greetings fellow gods,[/p][p][/p][p]I've heard far and wide that the demo hasn't been very good at showcasing Soulash 2, and I have to agree. It's always a challenge to prepare it considering how open the game is, but the last update was in February 2024, 18 months ago.[/p][p][/p][p]Today I've upgraded it to include everything we've been working on over that time period, with limits on content described in the welcome message when starting the demo.[/p][p][/p][p]If anyone wishes to give it another try, we also have a short tutorial series on our YouTube channel and Discord with some friendly players who can offer advice.[/p][p][/p][p]Enjoy,[/p][p]Artur[/p]

- Fixed a random crash on trading.
- Fixed flickering "sell all" on Trading Screen.
- Fixed lock icons being visible out of bounds of the backpack area.
- Fixed durability being visible out of bounds of the trading area.
- Fixed the default position of the gold slider in the Stashing Screen and added thousands separators to the displayed values.

[p]Guess who's back. Back again.[/p][p][/p][p]Greetings fellow gods,[/p][p][/p][p]While I was exploring Teutonic castles in the beautiful Masuria region of Poland with my family and cooking deer sausages on campfires, the team has been working hard to push all the things I always said there's no time to do. We have a pretty great update for you today with lots of UX improvements and balance tweaks.[/p][p][/p][p]The main balance change that requires a bit more explanation is the resistance change to minimum damage. Before we had 1/3/6 damage at minimum done when attack was done against higher resistance than damage respectively from the front/flank/back, now those values are changed to 10%/20%/30% making the endgame combat a bit more deadlier. The damage % used is raw damage without any modifiers like Rage ability or stackers.[/p][p][/p][p]Here's the full changelog:[/p][p][/p][h3]Added[/h3][p]- Auto-sort button to the Equipment screen (sorting is based on same name > item type > resource type / weapon type).[/p][p]- Filtering options in the Stash screen (by type or item name).[/p][p]- Filtering options in the Trading screen (by type or item name).[/p][p]- Filtering in the Knowledge tab (you can now hide dead beings, defeated states, or concluded wars).[/p][p]- Ability to lock items in the Equipment screen (default hotkey: H) to prevent accidental salvaging or selling.[/p][p]- Help tooltips to the Stash and Trading screens.[/p][p]- Support for Ukrainian characters.[/p][p]- New bindable gameplay key: Loot All.[/p][p][/p][h3]Changed[/h3][p]- Items produced by an action are no longer automatically picked up if they allow same action (e.g. logs from woodcutting are no longer auto-collected).[/p][p]- The 'Transfer All' button (>> or <

It's great to be back. We're back on weekly Thursday updates for now. The following two major directions we'll work on, aside from further UX improvements, will be multi-tile entities and extending the Conquest feature. Once we have tier 5 special locations for armies, we'll move to the planned v0.10 Events on our Roadmap to make the world feel more dynamic.[/p][p][/p][p]Have fun,[/p][p]Artur[/p]

[p]Greetings fellow gods,[/p][p][/p][p]As announced last week, today we're bringing some more minor tweaks, improvements, and bugfixes with the main addition of content above z-level. Yes, I know, it took me a while to unflatten the hills, but it should be more exciting now, and some areas could potentially only even be accessible with climbing - a cool place for a home on top of a mountain.[/p][p][/p][p]Here's the full changelog:[/p][p][/p][h3]Added[/h3][p]- Hills are now more exciting above ground level, including some random unique content per biome.[/p][p]- Added more unique conversations for player settlement NPCs.[/p][p]- Added history event entries for the collapse and recovery of settlements.[/p][p]- Common actions show their hotkeys in tooltips (cut wood, woodbend, etc.)[/p][p][/p][h3]Changed[/h3][p]- All new characters start with a temporary Primitive Knife with the Cutter property and 40 durability.[/p][p]- Killing all military units in player-made but NPC-occupied settlements liberates them and returns complete stash control to the player character.[/p][p]- Increased Ground Jelly seed base drop chance during gathering from 15% to 35%.[/p][p]- Removed caravan sending events from settlement history.[/p][p]- Committing the same crime in the same settlement no longer spams warnings.[/p][p]- Updated various GUI icons.[/p][p]- New body resistance icons in Equipment Screen.[/p][p]- Family leaders now display why they can't be hired.[/p][p]- Settlement Centers can now be removed on the Settlement Screen if they are not placed in the region, allowing re-creation in case of an issue.[/p][p][/p][h3]Fixed[/h3][p]- Fixed a few rare crash cases.[/p][p]- Ensure summoned skeletons and bone wraiths land in the player family if it exists in the settlement.[/p][p]- Hotkeys on the ability bar reflect remapped keys.[/p][p]- Renamed Iron Fist to Metal Fist.[/p][p]- Sugar Cane is correctly categorized under the Agriculture category in the building.[/p][p]- Datura now spawns correctly.[/p][p]- Broken Vial and Empty Nest are no longer considered items.[/p][p]- Missing defensive companies after liberation are recreated on save load.[/p][p]- Picking usable items will now correctly add their abilities to the hotbar, and not override any existing bindings.[/p][p]- Starting settlement selection should correctly show the nearby area around the selected settlement.[/p][p]- Recruits removed back to family are not correctly changed to unemployed profession.[/p][p][/p][h3]Modding[/h3][p]- Updated the navigation panel for each modding window, showing more screen transition buttons and enabling more hotkeys.[/p][p]- Added new effect: stamina_regen, which can be added to abilities and stackers to increase stamina regen.[/p][p][/p][h3]Hotfix 0.9.7.1[/h3][p]- Improved time of mountain region generation.[/p][p][/p][p]I'll probably do some hotfixes during the weekend to clear a couple more bugs before taking my 2-week-long family trip to unplug from electronics. We'll be back with weekly updates around the 21st of August.[/p][p][/p][p]Have fun exploring,[/p][p]Artur[/p]

[p]Greetings fellow gods,[/p][p][/p][p]This week brings another hybrid combat skill for Unarmed combat, alongside a new set of weapons and Holy magic with auto-attack buffs to go along nicely with Stormthrowing. We also have a new extreme special location tainted by otherworldly powers.[/p][p][/p][p]Here's the full changelog:[/p][p][/p][h3]Added[/h3][p]- New skill - Divine Fists.[/p][p]- 9 new unarmed weapons.[/p][p]- New Extreme special location - Abyssal Rift.[/p][p]- New player settlement building - Divine Monastery.[/p][p]- New damage over time - Burning Light (holy).[/p][p][/p][h3]Changed[/h3][p]- Unarmed combat damage comes from quarter strength and quarter dexterity.[/p][p]- Ensure that 'Chain' effects (e.g., slotted chain amplifiers, Stormthrowing Chain Lightning passive) do not target party members when triggered by the player or companions.[/p][p]- Adventuring 'Discover Resource' passive can now only be used when being on a specific world tile. No more telepathic scouting for perfect settlement location across continents.[/p][p][/p][h3]Fixed[/h3][p]- Fixed a crash related to ordering item upgrades.[/p][p]- Fixed settlement leader election after the death of the previous one, causing a lack of leadership trainers.[/p][p]- Fixed missing conversation options with summoned skeletons.[/p][p]- Fixed gear ownership issues during battles and for companions.[/p][p]- Townfolk currently on the caravan route no longer spawn in towns while away.[/p][p]- Fixed townsfolk going on a tantrum spiral when attacked in their hometown.[/p][p]- Fixed companion AI not interrupting current task when attacked.[/p][p]- Disabled sending armies to towns without a military company, which caused crashing.[/p][p]- Fixed duration and cast time of Werewolf transformation.[/p][p]- Prevented ability duplication after the temporary transformation finishes.[/p][p]- Unicorns and a few other beings stopped having orcish names.[/p][p]- The Alchemist building now trains human alchemists.[/p][p]- Fixed sound effect when opening doors.[/p][p]- Fixed crafting/upgrading xp gain display for skills with bigger exp rate > 1.[/p][p][/p][h3]Modding[/h3][p]- Added support for multiple icon tilesheets for building groups.[/p][p]- Bonus Damage and Bonus Damage Percent effects now work in stackers.[/p][p]- Restrict tags property can now apply to targets of on attack ability cast (see Purify the Damned, for an example implementation).[/p][p][/p][h3]Hotfixes 0.9.6.1-3[/h3][p]- Fixed a few crash cases.[/p][p]- Fixed unarmed basic attacks giving exp to Divine Fists.[/p][p]- Fixed typos in Haste potions.[/p][p][/p][h3]Hotfix 0.9.6.4[/h3][p]- Human Bandits no longer pretend to be crafting tables.[/p][p]- Defeated military companies are no longer restored on game load.[/p][p]- Garrison military company should always be created when we upgrade a settlement.[/p][p]- Added missing translations for Alchemists and Maulers.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Next week will be focused on bug fixing. Then I'll take two weeks of vacation to recharge before moving on to the next major feature I wish to try, which is one of the two main reasons we have circular portraits - multitile entities in tier 5 endgame special locations. If I can solve pathfinding, we'll have some really cool places to fight alongside our armies as the conquest feature continues to expand.[/p][p]So, don't feel alarmed if you don't see an update until the end of August; I'll be taking a break to avoid burning out before the game reaches its full potential.[/p][p]Also, tomorrow will be a big day for Soulash Bundle. If you haven't bought the game yet, be sure to check it out this Friday, and tell your friends about it.[/p][p][/p][p]Have fun pummeling the dead and the corrupted with your fists,[/p][p]Artur[/p]
