You don’t just have access to several types of woods but also a variety of minerals.

The most common resource you will find is stone. You can collect stones basically everywhere and you need them for many things, however it isn't as important as wood.

Another resource is clay, it can be found near flowing water and muddy places. Clay is crucial in steel and charcoal production, the backbones of smithing.

Because deposits you may encounter vary in size the basic requirement to mine them also varies. Better tools are imperative to gain materials from larger deposits. Here’s where iron, the precious metal ore, comes in. You will need iron in ample amounts to produce better quality tools and weapons. You can improve your iron production by building a structure to process mined ore. Only then your villagers will happily take the burden off you.



You may also collect a mysterious resource (one that everyone loves) and store it. Guess what it will be?

A while ago we revealed that one of the big visual differences between Brigador Killers and the previous game is the increased output resolution of sprites. This increase in fidelity means you the player will get a closer look at exported models in-game. If you'd like a longer read on the topic of how these models become sprites then consider reading this other article from Brigador's news hub.

Getting a closer look means we get to focus on the infantry scale of things. In that spirit, we're going to run you through how an all-new spacer suit for Brigador Killers goes from concept to final sprite render.



The first step is what's called the mood board. This is the conceptual framework where the artist references the mood, texture and detailing that we want to evoke with the spacer power suit.



Step two is the adapt or "kitbash" stage. Seeing as we've already developed a powersuit for Clade Vocc (not pictured), in 3DSMax, we extrapolate a suit design to help suggest how mainline spacers are still related, though considerably drifted away from in both culture and military doctrine.



The third step is the paintover in photoshop. With a basic suit layout in hand, we think about how we are going to change and treat the design. Returning briefly to the mood board's astronaut references, we decide on a cloth-covered suit. At this stage the helmet is unsatisfactory, but that will get revised later.



Once we have arrived at a satisfactory model of the suit, the finished design is then broken down into components for baking down and then texturing in Substance Painter. The final sprite render shown in the bottom right corner of the above image is done in Blender. Here is the finished suit as a render (click here to open a full size version in your browser).



As a bonus, a scene was composed using the model of this new spacer powersuit, which was used as the header image for this article. You can get a wallpaper sized version by clicking here, with deference to American digital painter Craig Mullins for this piece.

Dear citizens of Sordland,

We are thrilled to share with you the moment we've all been eagerly waiting for – the unveiling of the 2.0 "Amendment" update for Suzerain! This update marks a true rebirth for our beloved Suzerain, taking it to a new level. Experience fresh dialogues, impactful choices, and tangible consequences that shape your nation's destiny. Enhanced visuals, an interactive world map, and an immersive narrative await you.

We've made the game more accessible and enjoyable for everyone, whether you're a seasoned player or new to political games. This comprehensive overhaul refines the game narrative, improves quality, and elevates the audiovisual experience, making every moment in Suzerain even more memorable.


"We are thrilled to announce the Suzerain 2.0 "Amendment" update release," says Ata Sergey Nowak. "It is a major overhaul that improves every game aspect with new features, content, and audiovisual enhancements. The update also includes many bug fixes, further balancing, writing improvements, and more."

The Suzerain 2.0 "Amendment" update is the culmination of a year-long endeavor by the Torpor Games team to refine and expand upon the original game and is the first release in a long-term plan for expanding and supporting the game, including more free updates and a series of premium DLC campaigns, the first of which - Suzerain: Kingdom of Rizia - will launch in Q4 this year.

Indeed, refining and expanding upon the original game is important for us, driven by our passion to create unique gaming experiences that deeply resonate with all of you, our amazing community.

The update also marks the start of a new arrangement with our dear publisher, Fellow Traveller, with us, taking up co-publishing duties, expanding our experience, and growing our skills and capabilities.


The update will debut with a limited-time discount of 70 percent off the game's current price of $14.99, which will run until the 13th of August. On the 14th of August, the game's price will increase to $19.99 to reflect the added value and enhancements in this update and support the continued development of further free updates.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2435940/Suzerain_Support_the_Developers__Vulpitzer_Award/

Last but not least, we want to introduce our latest special addition: the exclusive "Vulpitzer Award" item, now available for purchase!

It's important to note that this item is entirely optional and purely aesthetic. With the acquisition of the "Vulpitzer Award," you not only improve the decor of your president’s desk but also extend your invaluable support to Torpor Games in their endeavor to deliver more updates like this.

https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/16847/

You can also discover our latest offering - the Supporter’s Edition, the Supporter’s Edition includes the game Suzerain and its Original Soundtrack, as well as the Vulpitzer Award cosmetic DLC. By choosing the Supporter's Edition, you'll enjoy a 15% bundle discount, making it an irresistible deal.

Moreover, the Supporter's Edition is designed as a "complete the set" bundle. This means that if you happen to already own any of the items included, you can still take advantage of the bundle discount by purchasing just the remaining items you need.

If you haven't tried Suzerain yet, it will be the best moment to get it!

[[i]Please note that this latest update requires starting a new save to be played. The previous save system will no longer function due to the implementation of a new technical infrastructure. However, we understand the value of preserving the legacy version 1.9 for those who wish to access it for nostalgic purposes.

Follow these simple steps to access Suzerain's legacy build:

• Open your Steam library.
  
• Right-click on Suzerain and select "Properties."
  
• Go to the "Betas" tab.
  
• Enter the code: "hsuarchive1954."
  
• Choose the "legacy1.9" branch.
  
• Download and play.

It's important to mention that the old version will not receive any further support or updates. We've introduced the 1.9 branches primarily to support players with in-progress saves, as we recognize the critical importance of accommodating their ongoing game experiences.

You can access the Legacy Suzerain 1.9 until the end of the year after which it will no longer be available.[/i]]
