Warsim: The Realm of Aslona News

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!

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

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

Hello everyone,

Finally putting this out after having this in my plans for a little while but something super exciting has been cooking alongside Warsim's development these many years, and that's that in varying capacities a ton of games have taken inspiration for Warsim and started forging their own awesome paths.

I can't tell you how euphoric this is and how proud I feel to see this materialise and I want to do everything in my power to support these games!

My one biggest issue is that I know there have been way more than this over the years but some slip under the radar, so if you know any Warsim-like games (on itch.io or any forums) that should be included here let me know.

And if you yourself have a little Warsim inspired game you're cooking up, don't be a stranger and let me know about it. This is an open invite too so any future Warsim-likes are something I love and encourage!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Some of the awesome games that have been in part Warsim inspired floating around so far are

[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...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So that's what we've got so far, if you're interested in these indie legends check them out and show them some support.

Doubt Warsim will be the new Rogue, but I'm so damn pleased to see so many Warsimlikes and I'm here for it!

Take care guys

[h3]GREAT GODHERJA COLLABORATION (7 features)[/h3]

In probably one of the greatest moments of my gamedev career, I found myself enthralled by an awesome Crusader Kings 3 total conversion mod Godherja which has one of the coolest brand new settings and honestly something I'd love to see as a TV show or something. I reached out to the mod authors to express my gratitude for their awesome work and learned they are a longtime Warsim player and enjoyer, When I tell you the joy I felt being stopped mid fanboy to be met by someone who enjoys Warsim, such a strange but fun twist. So after some talk we discussed a collaboration and here we are! Anyone who enjoys CK3 on PC please check out the mod you won't regret it at all.
