In total the develop-a-thon is responsible for 258 new features and 511 bug fixes which blew my mind when I calculated it up, 769 total changes!

I did enjoy the develop-a-thon but as always it was a massive challenge and there were some moments where I almost couldn't keep up with the development pace, namely during making the delete a save game feature and the day spent developing the Goblin Jamboree (8am-10pm).

I couldn't be happier with how it all turned out though, the game is as with the last Develop-a-thon, much more improved now than it was before so thank you everyone who got involved and thank you all who provided feedback!

To name a few, some of the biggest changes to the game are the ability to name your kingdom anything you want, massive improvements on the Barracks, so many dead bugs you could feed half of the worlds lizards, the ability to delete save games, a huge celebration in Goblinwood, and so many new features you couldn't hope to experience them all in hours of playtime.


So now that the develop-a-thon is over... thank god, I'm taking a brief break and working on clearing some bugs and scrubbing the entire game of any reference to Aslona (1000s of them). Then I will begin work on the Combat update.

Once the combat overhaul update is in place I plan to begin preparations for moving Warsim forward towards actually releasing instead of staying in Early Access infinite dev that we've been in for a while. Don't worry though I'll still update it post Early Access but I'd like to start clearing through all the unfinished parts of the game and make it a full and complete product.

By the end of this process I plan to rework a lot of Warsim's marketing material and trailer, to slightly increase it's price, and to try and promote warsim to more people and pull the game out of relative obscurity. (I will talk about these plans again soon in more detail)

I will however be rolling out a little update tonight to fix bugs and hopefully eradicate any mentions of Aslona when playing as a custom kingdom!


WARSIM THE REALM OF... WHATEVER


Something I've been wanting to do for a very long time, it has been requested by so many players I've lost count, now you can name your kingdom anything you want not just Aslona. I've tried to scrub the game of references to Aslona if you are playing custom but I guarentee I've missed loads so if you find any in your Non-Aslona playthroughs share them with me and I'll sort them out!

REFUGEE CAMP OVERHAUL

I ended up with a refugee camp in my test world and noticed the whole system was a bit lacking, So I spent quite a large portion of the day working on completely evolving the camps and making them much more dynamic, now there are better screens for actions with them as well as a large personality based system where you can speak to the leaders of the camps.

The goblinwood jamboree contains music, feasting, lots of chatter, a drinking contest against a bunch of goblins and random events, so be nice to goblins and head west!

Now once you have a goblin hut you can visit it in the other buildings tab on the main screen and upgrade it through there, each of the 20 or so different tiers has it's own graphic so you can watch the settlement grow before you!

* Added ability to delete saves (credit RTT)

BOOKRAGE

For those who don't know, Bookrage has been involved in the Warsim community for quite some time over on Audiogames.net (specifically this thread) and has come up with I would say somewhere in the range of 500+ ideas over the years, frequently dropping a big list of concepts and ideas whenever I was brainstorming with things like the race system or name prefixes, some notable members of the Warsim community have been featured in the game and Defender suggested that Bookrage be added, why not!

SCREENSHOT

A while ago the goblin settlement upgrade was added, something you can grow from a goblin hut all the way up to a megacity, well many people wanted it expanded and now it has been. Now once you have a goblin hut you can visit it in the other buildings tab on the main screen and upgrade it through there, each of the 20 or so different tiers has it's own graphic so you can watch the settlement grow before you!

* Added new system for goblin settlement (new screen in other buildings)
* Added ability to upgrade goblin settlement within the screen
* Added 20 different graphics for the stages of the goblin settlement


A suggestion by RTT which is a good one, took a bit of work but I've got it sorted, now you can go through and type the name of a save file you want to delete to clear it and all its extra files away, helps if like me you have lots of different saves and test saves that get a little much, now spring cleaning is easy!

* Added ability to delete saves (credit RTT)


For those who don't know, Bookrage has been involved in the Warsim community for quite some time over on Audiogames.net (specifically this thread) and has come up with I would say somewhere in the range of 500+ ideas over the years, frequently dropping a big list of concepts and ideas whenever I was brainstorming with things like the race system or name prefixes, some notable members of the Warsim community have been featured in the game and Defender suggested that Bookrage be added, why not! Now you'll find a place called Raging Book Shop in Blackrow where you'll find him!

Tons of new name suffixes, starting with tooth related ones but then I branched out, the best one is the Warmaker with +45 battlescore, my thought was if this character can make wars happen they are a probably tough, the weakest is the overdramatic with -10 battlescore!

* Added 5 Blackrow Tavern dialogues

SCREENSHOTS OF THIS UPDATE

I was planning on working more on let the people drink additions but I got carried away, fixed the vomit hole graphic to be a bit better though!

* Altered vomit hole graphic to be bigger


Having a recent look at the knightly orders screen it was a little strange compared to other menus, I decided to update it again and have added lots of new screens and sounds where there previously were none.

Refugee camps are more likely to appear in game when a kingdom is destroyed than before and they include a ton of depth that wasn't there before. I would say this system has recieved a massive evolution.

* Added ability to have the first region of each direction pre-discovered in custom game (credit defender)

Hello everyone!

Warsim's development is going to go dark for quite some time, I admit I may have been procrastinating on working on the combat update for a little while when I realised the sheer magnitude of it but the time has come as part of a move towards warsim being a more complete game and I need to begin work on it.

The combat system is the core of most complaints about Warsim and it's a fair assessment, I'm always weary of overpromising features in the game so I'm going to share a general guideline of some features I am going to consider, it's likely that a few of them will end up in the game but not that all of them will.

* Prisoners of War and surrendering units
* Special battlefield events (floor collapsing, storm hits, group of mercs arrive and join in, etc)
* Weather/Environments for battles
* Attacking multiple times per year (by having champions lead armies too)
* More variance and strategy from other factions (including based on difficulty)
* Fleeing troops
* Enemies able to hire mercenaries
* And several other things...

Like I say these are more guidelines, there will definitely be things included that I haven't mentioned above but it's unlike all of the above will end up in, happy to hear any ideas too!

The current combat code is big and outdated, I haven't touched it in quite some time and it was one of the first parts of Warsim coded in 2015, a lot has changed since then and I am going to ensure the combat system changes with it.

I may need to consult people on concepts to do with the combat overhaul that I can't decide on or need a hand with conceptually so keep your eyes peeled for any posts! The one downside is the combat overhaul work will mean no updates for likely months, this is serious heavy duty development and it's going to be hard work!

Now I can't let the visible development halt without a little send off, which is why I am announcing the second Warsim 7-Day Develop-a-thon to start on Monday 2nd of September! 50 new Warsim features daily for a whole week so be there!



I want to thank everyone for the support, there are over 14000 Warsim players now spread across the various communities and via steam and beyond and it honestly means the world that so many people care!

I will still be replying to messages and comments on the subreddit, steam community, audiogames thread, and discord so don't be shy!

*Huw Millward (Solo Dev of Warsim)*

So let me start by saying this is one of my favourite additions to Warsim in a long time!

**LET THE PEOPLE DRINK**

The let the people drink aspect of the update is the meat of this, this is a major content update adding a new area of the game that includes lots of random events and interesting things, it adds a whole new dimension to the taverns of the world and a whole new way to explore them!

To summarise, you can drink one of many drinks in various taverns with you getting drunker as they go on. Events can happen while you drink such as throwing up, getting into fights, talking to people, tons of random and weird events and so on.

There is also the chance you passout or blackout if too drunk, this also results in additional random events!

I wrote a huge number of Wiki pages over on the Warsim wiki to explain the detail of the drinking system, check it out here - https://github.com/Huw2k8/warsim/wiki/Taverns

There's a page for every tavern, bartender, drink, and event!

* Added new massive drinking system in game with tons of drinks, encounters and events
* Added 2 new dialogues to Borwyn the Skullstomper

* Added new screen for diplomacy with ghost kingdom without stone
* Added ability to sacrfice to speak to ghost kingdom if they're evil

* Added 3 new random intro texts for Unowned Blackmarket

Hey Guys,
So in the last month Warsim has undergone a ton of development

A month ago we had the gender choice update as well as 246 other features, we've had a develop-a-thon that saw 50 new features added each day for a week which included a custom character creator and tons of other features.

We saw the goblin slaver update and the addition of spontaneous tournaments in the Arena. We saw the race selection update allowing for massively custom gameworlds.

We saw weird stuff like over 100 thousand new helmets like these added to the game

And we had the goblin update adding over 3 trillion new goblin faces among other features!

To celebrate tons of improvement and addition to the game I'm doing a 30% off sale, I think the game is already fairly cheap for what you get but I want to entice as many people who are on the fence into trying it as possible, this game is a project of passion that has been in development for years and I want as many RPG fans to give this as chance as possible!

If you have the game already but think a friend might like it let them know, it really does help me! :)

Thanks
Huw Millward (Solo developer of Warsim)
