Warsim: The Realm of Aslona News

Hey guys so a little something to pass the time, I'm announcing the Warsim Community Competition.



Initially I will announce a subject of the competition, this will be an area of content for Warsim such as Human Names, Tavern Dialogues, Quest items, Name Suffixes, Troll Names and so on.

The competition will be put out on Warsim's reddit, discord, and steam communities, the best answer(s) each day will be awareded a choice of one of three steam keys.

And if the winner replies within the same day they can also choose the next days topic from a choice of three.

* You can submit as many times as you want, the more ideas the better!
* If you win you can still keep entering any of the future competitions.
* I'll try to add as many of the submissions to the game as possible as long as they fit.
* You can use generators/tools for names, anything you want, as long as it sounds like it could be an orc name I'm good!



Come up with the best Orc names you can and submit them as comments on this thread!

The prize pool is (a choice of one of the following):

* System Shock 2
* Eador: Masters of the Broken World
* The Dwarf Run

Hey everyone,

So while working on the choose your origin update my pc has started having some issues. I'm currently in the process of trying to get it sorted but It might take a little while.

I'm still commited to working on the game and honestly it feels weird to not be working on the thing constantly but for now my ability to code will be limited.

Will be back to normal soon enough hopefully but in the meanwhile I've still got a few ideas and plans as well as something exciting to announce tomorrow.

Thank you all for your continued support, it's been invaluable so far and I'm really excited for the future of Warsim!

Cheers

Huw

Ps. Hope everyone is staying safe and healthy through all this covid stuff!

CHOOSE YOUR ORIGIN SYSTEM (12 features)

So for the longest time unless you played a custom game your origin was completely random. Random is fun, but sometimes you don't want to be shoehorned into being a demonic servant, or a bandit overlord right out of the gate. Now the system has been expanded and you can still choose randomness in the way of the new FATE option, but otherwise you're welcome to choose an origin that suits you and your desired playthrough a little better. I've also added a few differences in some of the options so even choosing the same origin twice might give you variation.

* Added new screen when starting a new game where you can choose your game origin
* Added ability to choose fate (get a random origin)
* Added new origin 'pulled sword from stone' (+5 public opinion)
* Added new origin 'Village elder last in line gets the throne after the rest died in disaster' (Arena is destroyed, -public op)
* Added rare chance that the disaster kills off old croll and gives you a random new diplomat
* Added rare chance that the disaster kills off ghoryn pikener and gives you a random new general
* Added new origin 'Slave army conquest' (-public opinion, start with slaver fort, start with slave army, mass desertion of normal army)
* Added rare chance that the slaver fort is destroyed during the conquest and you don't start with it
* Added new origin 'Winner of a tournament of strength' (+opinion, start with two strong champions)
* Added new origin 'It's a long story' (+public opinion, +new item in throne room, +some gold)
* Added rare chance the the 'long story' has an extra part where you gain a strong champion called 'Omer the Friend'
* Removed origin select screen from custom games

MERMEN MADNESS (4.3 Billion features)

Was messing around with the mermen faces and added a new eye type with a lot of variants, combined with all other possible parts of mermen faces there are now twice as many possible which has added over 4 billion new faces that can be generated... you know for all the folk who got bored of the first 4 billion of them.

* Added new eye type to Mermen/Triton faces
* Created a total of 4346939520 (4.3 Billion) new Mermen/Triton faces (8.6 billion total faces now)

MAGIC FARM IMPROVEMENTS (6 features)

Thanks to a suggestion by u/TimSEsq the magic farm has been reworked to make more sense!

* Reworked Magic farm to give barrels worth of Bluetrii instead of singles (credit u/TimSEsq)
* Reduced barrels to 25 fruit per barrel
* Fixed Magic farm gramamr bug

SCREENSHOTS

The new origin choice screen


Some new mermen

Hello everyone,

Just announcing that after 4 years of development and the 100+ updates on steam early access I am going to be increasing the price of Warsim on steam from $4.99 to $7.99 as of next month.

I'm always weary of pricing it to the point where it will exclude people who might genuinely want to play but I'm surviving almost entirely on a mix of Warsim and some savings at the moment and the difference in price really will make a difference for me.

I think when I first put the game on steam I didn't think much of it and wasn't sure if people would give it a chance but now after all this time and effort I know the game is worth it!

But regardless it will still be in seasonal steam sales and things so it will be possible to find it for less and it is still currently on 35% sale at it's current lower price :)

Happy to answer any questions and hear your thoughts!

Cheers
