Warsim: The Realm of Aslona News

Hello everyone, firstly thank you so much steam for giving Warsim a slot for todays Daily Deal! To be on the frontpage of a site I have used all my life for gaming is surreal and I sincerely hope any new people discovering Warsim have a good time and enjoy it!



Now to the update!

[h3]A HERO RISES! (6 features)[/h3]

The peasant/soldier/or knight who delves the caves or clears a tomb can now be recognised for it and become one of your heroes!

* Added ability for peasant who killed red cave monster to become 'RANDOMNAME the Slayer of the Red Beast' with 75 battlescore
* Added ability for soldier who killed red cave monster to become 'RANDOMNAME the Slayer of the Red Beast' with 125 battlescore
* Added ability for knight who killed red cave monster to become 'RANDOMNAME the Slayer of the Red Beast' with 175 battlescore
* Added ability for peasant who delved lands beyond tomb to become 'RANDOMNAME the Conqueror of TOMBNAME' with 75 battlescore
* Added ability for soldier who delved lands beyond tomb to become 'RANDOMNAME the Conqueror of TOMBNAME' with 125 battlescore
* Added ability for knight who delved lands beyond tomb to become 'RANDOMNAME the Conqueror of TOMBNAME' with 175 battlescore







[h3]TERRATON BANKERS (1 feature)[/h3]

Prior to this banks sort of collapsed whenever they held that much gold, now they can convert it for you!

* Added new upgrade bank terraton crafters (to ensure banks convert your gold to terratons) (cost 50k)



[h3]EXPLORATION GOLD BAG ENCOUNTER EXPANSION (2 features)[/h3]

Man you guys have been campaigning aggressively for this, one every other comment all across the Warsim community has been 'We want more diverse exploration gold bag encounter variants'... Well worry not my dear friends for here it is, long awaited!

* Added ability for gold bag encounter to gain 1 in 5 odds variant (Trick Bag) And find that the bag actually says Idiot gold and you lose any gained gold while a goblin in distant bushes cackles
* Added ability for gold bag encounter to gain 1 in 5 odds variant (Bag Pile) And find a pile of sachels containing between 2000 and 8000 gold coins

Now your random gold bag encounters can include greater glory


Or pesky goblins


[h3]THRONE ROOM ENCOUNTERS (1 features)[/h3]

A new little throne room encounter, always want to add to the 1000s we've got!

* Added new throne room encounter 'Dirty Trout'

[h3]BUGFIXES (3 bug fixes)[/h3]

As always a couple of fixes here! Thanks bug reporters as always

* Fixed blank farmer encounter bug
* Fixed sandman tavern sandtalker graphic bug (credit Bane Williams)
* Fixed end of year throne room visitor boom pushes past throne room limit cap (credit Unusual_Lion7914)

[h3]NEW NAMES (316 new names)[/h3]

I noticed some races had quite limited numbers of names, making higher likihoods of npcs with similar names if they're of the same races. For the ones with their own weird styles of name I fed them into AI and had it spit out a big pile of similar derivitives to increase the name range!

* Added 98 new Blogroki Names (was 22 now 120)
* Added 19 new grumpkin names (was 29 now 58)
* Added 100 new Centaar names (was 32 now 132)

A few smaller bits of content and changes!

* Added ability to refuse slave buyer throne room encounter instead of just (trade/trapdoor/arrest) (credit Cast Iron Crew)
* Added new kingdom names 'Ikovi, Ismar, Isero'
* Added folk hero champion origin story
* Added new name suffix 'Arrowhead' (+10 Battlescore)

[h2]What's going on at Warsim HQ![/h2]

Alongside this daily deal I've been working hard in the background on Warsim stuff, and I am almost ready to put out the long awaited Warsim collectors edition. It has been a long time coming but I cannot wait to share it with everyone!




[h3]Warsimlikes[/h3]
We've also got an ever growing group of Warsimlikes building themselves up! (Please check them out if you haven't)

[h3]Dim Parcio - My punk band with some of my best mates![/h3]
I've also been playing lots of gigs with my band and having a damn good time doing it! Here's footage of me doing a balloon of helium before playing one of our songs about animal testing called Hammy the Hamster ːlunar2019laughingpigː

And we're riding the waves of our debut release over these last few weeks, a little Karen anthem haha. We've got more plays in Brooklyn and Buenos Aires than our native Cardiff, so thanks to all your yanks and argentinians for checking it out :)

(And yep that's me in the Karen wig there)


Lots cooking in every direction and more to come as always, thank you all for everything!

[h3]The state of Warsimlikes[/h3]

Hello everyone,

So a little while back I did an article on Warsimlikes, these are games inspired in part or in whole by Warsim. Some of these were little project demos, and some were attempts at full fledged games.

Incredibly after the article nearly all of the devs hit me up to say that they'd had massive boosts to their total downloads, some had received donations, and new support!









Several of these projects were abandoned by the time the article went up and as far as I'm aware since it went live all of the projects returned to being developed which really shows you how important feedback and support it.

I remember it well back in the very early days of Warsim 2015-2016, I'd go weeks without a comment on my Itch.io page and I remember sometimes thinking... Why am I even doing this, then someone would appear out of seemingly nowhere and give me a few drops of dopamine!

I want to thank everyone who went and checked out these great games as you are the lifeblood of these projects as much as the effort of these wonderful devs is!

[h3]What Warsimlikes are out there?[/h3]

I'm gonna shamelessly copy the contents of our old Warsimlikes article here, but also include the new projects that have bubbled up since then!


[h3]CULT GAME[/h3]

The very exciting looking Cult Game, made by a good friend of mine and a dude who singehandedly saved Warsim from a huge bug by helping me through an issue that I couldn't wrap my head around personally, absolute hero. Check it out here.

[h3]Heroes of Book & Paper[/h3]

The only one of these games that is actually on steam, fun fact about this. It's the only other game on steam that references Aslona (nice little easter egg) and the developer is a longtime Warsim community legend LeMachinga, who came up with a redesign for the mushroom men faces that became the standard, leading to a possible mushroom name for shroomling characters 'LeMushinga'. Check out the awesome game here on steam.

Here are some of his shroomlings


[h3]END OF EDEN[/h3]

This game is one that used the Warsim generators that were released as a free tool for DMs and other game devs a little while back, here we see one of Warsims Underling faces and it's awesome to see our generators go to use like this! Check it out here.

[h3]Crusader's Quest[/h3]

A python based text rpg based on Warsim and Oregon Trail. Another promising project that I watch with interest. Check it out here!

[h3]Dark Path Wanderer[/h3]

This one feels like a mix of Warsim and my old game the Wastes (rip) the screenshots look really cool and I'm excited to see how it develops. Check it out here.

[h3]The Wastes[/h3]

Adding it here as an honourable mention, this game was made after the initial warsim demo but before I took on Warsim properly and began turning it into a game. This proc gen wasteland explorer game was worked on intensely for 6 months before I had the source code wiped... Didn't keep any backups back then like a bloody idiot but hey lessons learned...

[h3]IceBound Zero[/h3]

A new entry to the list and honestly the reason for this article, I saw this post pop up on the Warsim subreddit this week and it seems like someone is working on a Warsimlike where you play a small time drug dealer. A very interesting early project that I hope continues to grow!

[h3]Future Warsimlikes...[/h3]
And beyond that, I had a number of people like this lad message or post to share that they too are working on some Warsimlikes that may rear their heads in the future!


And as with any of them, I welcome them all with open arms and will always be happy to help and support these projects, it's a badge of honour that any game would be inspired by my passion project and It brings me endless joy!

Respect and love to you all

Huw
Ps, check out some active Warsimlike development over on our discord in the Warsimlikes room! And if you have your own project please post all about it there :) - https://discord.gg/YyFAkry98w

Hello guys, so I thought I'd do a little content update for the summer sale so I've added a bunch more content encounters and some smaller features to pad the game out even more!

Thank you everyone who has picked the game up during the summer sale, events like this keep Warsim and it's development alive!

Hey guys,

So for a while now I've been working on building Warsim collectors editions, most big games that do them have studios and staff to sort this stuff out but I've had to do this solo and find these manufacturers myself.

A few years ago I hit a brick wall that prevented me from being able to complete the project and I dropped it in pursuit of other things like finishing Warsim's early access release.

Well I've been back on it these last few months and awesomely it's all come together!

I've got some stickers, posters, box copies, and even Warsim official coins done. I'm waiting on a few final pieces to arrive and will finally be ready to release the collectors editions.

Hopefully within the next few months


Here's a video of me unboxing a boxed copy!
[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

And some behind the scenes on the putting together of this collectors edition

Draft of the coins

The Real thing!

Thank you all for the continued support with all this stuff, you guys are the reason I can do this!

Cheers
