While the next groundbreaking update for Battle Realms: Zen Edition is being actively worked on and is to be seen this November, here's something to break the silence...
If you're an RTS fan that loves podcasts and is curious about the game industry of the past, present, and future, this very video should be right up your alley.
A youtube user named Bored With Nelly has recently talked to Ed Del Castillo, the creator of Battle Realms.
There's a ton of neat stuff being discussed: Battle Realms, Command & Conquer, Red Alert, Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri, The Lord Of The Rings: War of the Ring, so without further ado, here's the video:
Speaking of videos, Ed is preparing a big one for our dear BR community where he's going to talk about the current state of affairs and future plans, stand by for more info! :)
Miscellaneous info:
Join the official server for the game, the universe, and the community if you haven't. Discord has proven to be a very helpful and fun program to use for us (as developers), so we're quite keen on maintaining our server.
Populated by more than 4000 warriors, it is a solid communication bridge between us and all of you. If you're having issues, planning to report a bug, or just want to learn something new about the game and communicate with other fans or even developers -- we'd like to see you there, come around!
We are very happy to say that Haiki is finally released. We want to thank everyone supporting us on this long journey!
Halloween Special
And it is just before Halloween. So we have added a nice seasonal feature that is only available between now and Nov. 5th. Go smash the pumpkins where you find them as a bit of an extra challenge!
We have updated EPEJSODION Lodge to a new minor version - 0.3 "History Update"!
This is a very important update, adding a good chunk of content. The EPEJSODION Online features won't work until the update is downloaded from the Steam client.
Addition of 229 new items, increasing the total to 833
This includes 19 furniture items, 12 hangables, 1 floor item, 19 top items, 3 floor styles and 3 wall styles
New locations - History Square, Dogfighting Terminal, Lodge Museum with 7 rooms
32 new EOL achievements
Lodge Courtyard location's west portion slightly altered
QOL Additions
The Lodge Lexicon now has percentage markers for achievements and collections
Added the 0.2 stat tables to the Lodge Lexicon
Implemented functionality for the Furniture, Upgrade, Golden Crates
Bug Fixes
Fixed a problem which caused the player to lose research and partial 0.2 achievement progress in offline mode.
Of course, this is still not the finished game, and we will start working on 0.4 as soon as we think it's the appropriate time. It will be least a week before we implement more features, as this will be the time to supply critical bug updates, and then I'll also do some work on EPEJSODION Dodgeball Training. Remember that you can report all kinds of bugs and glitches here or here.
Uprising is coming soon, but we need your help in bulding our army! Rules are simple:
the more of you will follow and add Giant's Uprising to your whishlist, the stronger our revolt will be, so we can enforce our demands for the release - bring the price of the game down!
The real fight begins on 2nd November 2021, time is ticking... See you on the battlefield! VARSAV Game Studios
