Official Publisher Announcement!
Warman is officially joining forces with Freedom Games!
For those of you who may not know, having a game publisher like Freedom Games greatly helps indie devs like myself focus on game development while they handle all the behind-the-scenes magic. From helping manage store pages to crafting marketing campaigns and even helping the game shine at both digital and live events, publishers help in all the aspects that indie developers often struggle with.
Joining forces with Freedom Games has redefined my game development journey. It lets me focus solely on the creative process, free from distractions. The global reach ensures that more players will enjoy my game, adds a rewarding dimension to my work, and the additional resources allow me to transform ambitious ideas into standout, polished games.
I’m genuinely thrilled about the future of Warman and hope you share in my excitement for what’s to come!

Development Progress #14
Graphics are better and are more performant.
Every UI window is improved.
Development Progress #13
This update includes a new desert themed biome and the new Paladin class.
The new class also has it's own themed items to equip. In the future I plan to add themed items for all existing classes.
There are also a lot of minor improvements and various small bug fixes.
I have also done some technical upgrades to make the game run faster.
The desert also has its own boss, and in the future I will add a unique boss to the castle.
I am basically done with the technical side of things and at this point I am just missing some polished assets, effects and sounds. But it will still take some time before the update is finished.
Update 1.0.1
- Fixed: Bad translation and missing glyphs
Warman is leaving Early Access!
Trying to cram in tons of features and content without making the game scale well would not have worked out in the long run. Of course I plan to continue to support and update the game after the full release.
The 1.0 update has been out for a few weeks and I see no problems. So the release should go smoothly. Before continuing with the next update I will take a short break, except for any bugs or critical fixes that may need to be made.
Enjoy the game!
Update 1.0.0 - About Leaving Early Access & Price Increase
Accompanying the full release, there will be a price increase to 20€. Regional pricing will also be updated as recommended by Valve.
There are still features and content I want to add to Warman, but I feel that the current state of the game deserves a full release.
The most obvious content is more classes to play, areas to explore and more unique items. I also want to flesh out existing areas by adding some more enemies and mechanics that make the area special.
I have a prototype ready for a snow area which constantly applies a frost debuff and you have to periodically warm up at a campfire.
Warman is a combat-focused game. I want to add a sub-genre to add more variety to the gameplay loop. That is most likely to be a building system that allows you to build anywhere and share your creations in the workshop.
Future updates will include smaller patches to fix bugs and bigger content updates.
The content update will include 1 new biome with multiple maps that feature that biome, 3 new enemies for that biome, 1 new class and 9 new items that fit visually to that class.
It is hard to talk about a definitive roadmap, but I will regularly post about what I am working on.
Other major features that I want to add, that are not necessarily content, are: controller support, macOS version, workshop support, a more general mod support for custom classes, skills and maps, etc. Some of those I am already set on doing, others may get more priority based on community feedback.
