Hello everyone!

Been a minute since my last post on this phenomenon and I thought I'd share an update! We've since got 2 more projects that have started and one is now even on steam!

Alongside that the Warsimlikes discord room on our Warsim discord has been buzzing with activity and many other budding devs have stated they are quietly working on their own Warsimlike projects in the background.

So here is the updated list of Warsimlikes!


With the 2 latest projects added to the list, we now have 9 total Warsimlikes. Now to you many beautiful people reading this, please note that a lot of these projects do not get the exposure they deserve, and I have learned that every single time I mention these games on Warsim's platform they get big boosts... A superpower I intend to abuse to it's limit if it helps these awesome people keep doing what they're doing!

[h3]CULT GAME[/h3]

CheffJeff on our Warsimlike discord is probably the Warsimlikes Goat, he's been working on some incredible stuff and also singehandedly saved Warsim from a huge bug that broke development last December by helping me through an issue that I couldn't wrap my head around personally, absolute hero. Check it out here.

He's also lately been popping off with some incredible youtube videos showing his development process, check them out here and see why 25k other people enjoyed it

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

The first Warsimlike to go 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]Roots of Harmony (New)[/h3]


This one was an excellent thing to come out of seemingly nowhere, the second Warsimlike you can find on steam!

'Text-based 4X with a focus on turf war and resource management. Roots of Harmony is an old-school keyboard-controlled casual game where you have to lead your colony to different stages of development, while facing various threats and managing your doctrines and disciples.'

Check it out on steam!

[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]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]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]Bazaboo's Warsimlike Project (New)[/h3]

An early project being crafted on our discord by Bazaboo, who is currently working on some fun stuff with kingdom generation and history generation, awesome to see them having so much fun with it!

[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]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...

You can download it here - https://huw2k8.itch.io/the-wastes


Are you working on something inspired by Warsim? or are you considering it? Well don't be a stranger please! There might be 8 billion of us on this big rock but the internet makes the connections between us ridiculously easy, I'm sat in my bedroom in Wales and I frequently find it possible to talk to wonderful people seemingly in every corner of the globe.



If you have your own project of this kind, let me know and I'll be sure to share it with the people or join us on the Warsimlikes discord room and share it yourself!

And for those asking what the definition of a Warsimlike is, I'd say it's a stretchable definition that simply means at it's minimum a game that's development has been inspired in part by Warsim, or a game that uses content from the Warsim generators for it's own content

Cheers and take care of yourselves!
