@Dark, very good suggestions that would serve to supruce things up a bit, and there could be a huge deal of customisation, I'll add these notes to my plans for the combat overhaul.

I already have plans to add a steward who would take care of any throne room events you have (but the outcome of the events is based on the stewards personality so choose a kind one and you will be paying out lots, choose a cruel one and your prisons will swell.

Gender or lack thereof is definitely another thing that will be fixed in the future!

cheers for your comments dark! smile

@Niklas, glad you like the update buddy!

Hi guys, one thing that I always love is seeing characters with interesting names, there are lots of suffixes at the moment and some have come from player suggestions.

I'd love to see some of your ideas, things like

* (NAME) the Lich-Hater
* (NAME) the Great
* (NAME) the Darkspawn
* (NAME) the Wolf
* (NAME) the Slayer
* (NAME) the Sword
* (NAME) of the East
* And so on.

There are currently 875 name suffixes that characters may be given as well as a system that generates -son suffixes added on to the first name.

Any and all suggestions are welcome and credit will be given for any used. for a list of currently used names check here

Wow this is fun!

here are some more, I'll also try to add some that are obviously female to aleviate the gender balance a bit (though of course it's possible if the battle text could indicate the gender of participants you wouldn't specifically need female sobriquets, e.g Red Sonja and Halthris the Tenathi from Pamela Bell's silver city series (probably the best written female barbarian character I've ever read), don't have specifically feminine titles.

Anyway on with the suggesting:

suffixes:

The ungentle.
The Gentle,

And here are some prefixes, note that some things such as furious can be both a suffix and a prefix, e.g you could have furious jo, as well as jo the furious, and farmer bob as well as bob the farmer. Plus this is a way  sneak  discripters as in "boy billy" or "man friday"

Hi guys, this update while pretty big is primarily focused on further diversifying the names of the characters in your world, in this case I've had hundreds of suggestions many of which have been implemented and as a result the game now has a whole new heap of characters you can bump into.

**MAIN STUFF**

More ogre faces, 100s of new monsters that can be found in the depths of Baiaa or in the random monster generators and finally I have added the classic version of warsim to the games files, so you can see where the game has grown over the years.

* Added 100s of new monsters (2 new monster parts)
* Added 140 million new ogre faces (was 33 mil now 198 mil)
* Added classic version of early warsim to the games files (free bonus)

**NEW NAME SUFFIXES**

**THRONE ROOM**

A few new encounters including one that I've wanted to add in for quite a while, that being the best beard encounter where you have to judge between three bearded men and select which beard you prefer, of course this is warsim, so you can jail them all or tell them that all their beards are terrible and that they should get out of your court room.

Ha, awesome, thanks for doing all the credits too.
Happy to help, it was fun anyway!
I hope that the champion's get fixed in the next update or the one after that though, aside from the missing referenced continents, it's the longest standing oddity in this game that I know of...
Sounds like it'll be a pain in the ass though, any way we can donate to you without buying the game?

2018-02-03 13:47:05

Hi Defender, no problem thank you for all the awesome suggestions

I agree the arena needs some focus, it used to be a much better part of the game but it's become old and outdated, there are lots of bugs and its missing a lot of potential

I will make the next big update an arena update smile

As for donations I have a paypal address but you really dont have to, it's [email protected]

Awesome to hear, and if the game changes drastically than yeah, I feel I do have to, E.G. lots of new complex content for instance.
Or fixing allot of hard to squash bugs.
I mean that's allot of hard work and time put in, and a one time payment just doesn't cut it.


The other thing is that I really, really wish we could get the high quality music back as an option.
I remember we talked about it before, I think you didn't know if you could do 160KBPS .ogg, since you didn't have a lib for it, if you could though than maybe you could just put it in the normal game.
If you can't offer a separate download on the same page for each version than maybe a one time 50 cent payment or something for the hq stuff that gets updated now and then if new songs get added.
That way the pay pal fee is covered.


Also if you have the time, the lute sounds aren't great because allot of them end on a partial note, so the songs sound choppy as a result.

2018-02-03 17:26:23

I'm looking forward myself to the point that one on one fights in battles are added, so that our champion has something to do and  improving them makes sense in the larger context of the game as a war sim, but obviously updates take time.

With our dreaming and singing, Ceaseless and sorrowless we! The glory about us clinging Of the glorious futures we see,
Our souls with high music ringing; O men! It must ever be
That we dwell in our dreaming and singing, A little apart from ye. (Arthur O'Shaughnessy 1873.)

I agree with defender regarding the payment option for the high quality music and sounds. If the sound system gets expanded in the future, I would be very happy if we can get the sound effects and such in high quality. That will be epic, especially with the libraries you plan to experiment with and if some sort of panning or virtual surround sound or such could be made possible. But even without surround or 3D stuff, it would be epic to here fights, battles and other things in high quality. That would be worth an extra payment and I would gladly pay for it. Like always, a very nice update, keep it going.

2018-02-04 13:55:44

sorry to be a miner pest but I'm afraid I have a bug report.
If the music is turned off, it starts playing everytime a bard sings.
I actually like the music, but it's a little loud as compared to my screen reader which means when this has happened I've had to quit the game which is slightly irritating.

I forgot to post this, it's from 2 versions back but it probably all still applies.
I was playing as the bandit king, on normal difficulty, ascii, animations, and music off.


Suggestions
more origin stories for bards
more celebration options
ability to destroy and free slave post in blackmarket slums if you own the blackmarket
Small goblin tribes should be much less likely to be friendly if you allow goblin slavery


Issues
Friends still show as truced if you start attacking them
Unable to access evil policies to turn them off if you've reached positive popularity since you started enforcing them
You can fight but not actually get rid of the bandit denns in the black market
the demon summoning house in the blackrow acts as though the hord has already been destroyed when you try to enter it, even when it hasn't.
If you get pushed out of the black alley and the voice says no, than the music, oddly gets unmuted, even though it still shows as disabled. Toggling it off, on, and off again fixes it though.

I realy like these suggestions.

2018-02-08 12:30:42

@Defender, It's definitely on the list to have a much more dynamic sound system, the issue I have with the higher quality sound is that it's a battle between two different groups, the people who want better sound, and the people who want smaller file space, the problem was that the filesize became a little bit of an issue for me, I tried to keep a hq and lq sound version of my old game the wastes going and it became a big hassle, but I will work something out at some point!

Will check out the lute sounds though, I recorded myself playing guitar so I can re-record them at any point, will note it down and check them out!

@Dark, champions definitely need more functions and uses, should be fun!

@Niklas, when a new sound system is implemented sound effects are a must, for menu options, battle sounds, encounters, taverns, exploration, the arena, Baiaa, the different regions and so on.

@Dark I'll investigate that bug! cheers for telling me, it doesn't sound minor to me if you had to quit!

@Defender, you've got it, I'll add another load of bard origin stories, as for more celebration options, what do you mean? like more things to select when you're creating your own celebration, I would love to hear your ideas

As for the slavery thing, this is a very very valid point! I will look into this!

And you're right, the goblin minor tribes at the moment are just a placeholder though, I have some huge plans for them in the future!

I will look into the bugs you've raised but the evil policy one, holy crap, can't believe I didn't see that one!

I will investigate bandit gang bug and the other stuff, thanks for letting me know about this stuff!

As always thank you for all the comments and suggestions guys, very helpful, at this point every time I log into the audiogames forums it feels like a warsim development conference!

I love the plans with the Sound System. I can imagine a battle for example between beasts could be epic. I am excited if it Comes. Cool plans though, hope it doesn't take to Long, but take your time. BTW: I think it is unavoidable that the game size gets bigger at some Point. I mean it will and should grow in Terms of Content, but the more you'll put in, the bigger it gets.

2018-02-08 20:51:42

True Niklas, but the increase per update averages at around 1-3kb whereas the HQ sounds were over 100mb

@Wastelander,
I know I've mentioned this before, but you'll probably have a lot of luck if you convert the game's audio to .ogg.
There are free and simple decoder libraries out there, so you can just bring the dll into your project, pass it the name of a file, and get standard playable wav audio out. Thus the pipeline looks like:
*load the file using the decoder library
*get a string back from the decoder which is wav audio
*play the audio using your existing system.
If you can pull this off, you should see the sound size drop to around a tenth or less of its original.
[edit]: All of the sounds for the wastes, including those that I've added for my pack-in-progress, are less than 6mb as ogg.

Best,
John

that might be a good idea though. This way, the size Drops but the Quality is still high.
