Warsim 1.2.4 (Boozer's Blessing Update) (69 (eyy) new features and fixes)
Everything has been insane on my end, I've been replying to the literally 1000s of comments, dms, emails, reviews, and bug reports but still haven't reached them all. Been in talks with an absurd number of streamers, youtubers, and media so hopefully more big Warsim stuff to come! (And even more that I'm keeping secret for now) but hey, beyond that here's a juicy boozy update for all you boozy bastards!
THRONE ROOM TAVERNS (8 features)
Want to get drunk in your throne room, well now you can!
All of these require your throne room to be big enough to host entertainment (then it's added to the entertainment menu)

NEW DRINKER PERSONALITIES (16 features)

THRONE ROOM VISITOR COUNTER CHANGES (6 features)
The max it would go was saying you had a kingdoms worth of people, this happened when you had 3k or more visitors... I've seen people hitting stupidly high levels at late game that dwarf 3k, so now we've got better tiers of text to reflect it!

Thank you guys for an awesome Collector's Edition Launch!
I originally put the collector's edition plan together years ago but finally this year was able to get all the designs, manufacturers, delivery, packing stuff, and website sorted.
It's been wild seeing so many people picking up a collectors edition from all over the world and to those who have supported the game by grabbing one I cannot thank you enough, it really really helps and gives me hope here.
Here's a few of the boxes ready to go out
It's been amazing trawling for old dev notes from years ago and sending them out to the surprising number of people picking up Elite Packs and Supporter's Packs (and I seriously appreciate you folks who have!)
I'll never have this many gnome coins again!
In the process of packing up coins here
And signing the boxes, got a video of me here opening the boxes to sign and man... It felt wrong to be preopening peoples games for them
Thank you all for the support, and to the many new and old Warsim players who have been leaving comments, across here, reddit, other forums, twitter, discord, and youtube. I have been trying to reply to as many as I can but I may finally be beat, which is a beautiful problem to have don't get me wrong. I really do appreciate all the comments I've been seeing, and all the emails and dms. Warsim's recent daily deal has seen an explosion of attention and support and it's heartening!
Cheers and love! Huw
PS, also did a gamedev talk last night in my city, talking about the history of Warsim, was wild to do a Warsim thing in person! (credit @Crazyreyn for the shot)

But to summarise, after 9 years we've finally crossed this awesome milestone and recently seen that there's no signs of stopping yet for Warsim. It's been magical seeing so much life all over the Warsim community spaces, to see new videos and articles going up, and to see so many new reviews. My dms have been flooded but I'm trying to work my way through them every day so if you're waiting on a reply give me time :)
To all our new Warsimmers, welcome aboard and thank you for contributing to the biggest moment in Warsim's history (so far), and to you guys who've been along for the ride, thanks for building Warsim up so it could reach this point.
I'm thankful for you all everyday! <3
THE COLLECTORS EDITION ANNOUNCEMENT

The standard collectors edition comes with: * A 40 page Warsim book * A 2 sided stainless metal coin with case and stand * A pile of Warsim stickers * A sealed boxed copy of Warsim * A handwritten note from me * 2 steam keys * A big Warsim poster

I love the throne room, it was a random feature slapped in midway through development. Over the years I have added 1000s of encounters and variants, and tons of random features and moving parts to it, but it's not perfect and still can get repetetive at times, so I continue in my efforts to add more and more range to it!

WHATS ELSE IS GOING ON
Warsim, she is an old beast. Never intended to be a game, now a massive massive monster file of so many spinning parts. A marvel that it works at all, and over 100k people have played it now, which is so insane to me. For a long time, before Warsim even, I dreamed of making RPGS, they're my true love. Always seeking the perfect rpg, I've been working for more than half a year on the side on something else with a talented coder, and already something promising is shaping up. But it is likely going to take years, and I am still looking for good programmers who work with GML (if you know some, hit ya boi up!)
We also had this absolutely epic Warsim meme video pop up recently!
It's been beautiful watching all of Warsims community spaces explode, this was a lovely moment where I got avalanched with love on the discord
Thank you as always to all you beautiful people who made this possible, to all the commentors, to all the new discord joiners, to those leaving reviews good or bad! Thank you all.
Cheers and take care,
Huw <3

What's going on at Warsim HQ!
Alongside this daily deal I've been working hard in the background on Warsim stuff, and I am almost ready to put out the long awaited Warsim collectors edition. It has been a long time coming but I cannot wait to share it with everyone!
Warsimlikes
We've also got an ever growing group of Warsimlikes building themselves up! (Please check them out if you haven't)
Dim Parcio - My punk band with some of my best mates!
Lots cooking in every direction and more to come as always, thank you all for everything!

Warsimlikes! (It just keeps getting better)
The state of Warsimlikes
Hello everyone,
So a little while back I did an article on Warsimlikes, these are games inspired in part or in whole by Warsim. Some of these were little project demos, and some were attempts at full fledged games.
Incredibly after the article nearly all of the devs hit me up to say that they'd had massive boosts to their total downloads, some had received donations, and new support!
Several of these projects were abandoned by the time the article went up and as far as I'm aware since it went live all of the projects returned to being developed which really shows you how important feedback and support it.
I remember it well back in the very early days of Warsim 2015-2016, I'd go weeks without a comment on my Itch.io page and I remember sometimes thinking... Why am I even doing this, then someone would appear out of seemingly nowhere and give me a few drops of dopamine!
I want to thank everyone who went and checked out these great games as you are the lifeblood of these projects as much as the effort of these wonderful devs is!
What Warsimlikes are out there?
I'm gonna shamelessly copy the contents of our old Warsimlikes article here, but also include the new projects that have bubbled up since then!
CULT GAME
The very exciting looking Cult Game, made by a good friend of mine and a dude who singehandedly saved Warsim from a huge bug by helping me through an issue that I couldn't wrap my head around personally, absolute hero. Check it out here.
Heroes of Book & Paper
The only one of these games that is actually on steam, fun fact about this. It's the only other game on steam that references Aslona (nice little easter egg) and the developer is a longtime Warsim community legend LeMachinga, who came up with a redesign for the mushroom men faces that became the standard, leading to a possible mushroom name for shroomling characters 'LeMushinga'. Check out the awesome game here on steam.
Here are some of his shroomlings
END OF EDEN
This game is one that used the Warsim generators that were released as a free tool for DMs and other game devs a little while back, here we see one of Warsims Underling faces and it's awesome to see our generators go to use like this! Check it out here.
Crusader's Quest
A python based text rpg based on Warsim and Oregon Trail. Another promising project that I watch with interest. Check it out here!
Dark Path Wanderer
This one feels like a mix of Warsim and my old game the Wastes (rip) the screenshots look really cool and I'm excited to see how it develops. Check it out here.
The Wastes
Adding it here as an honourable mention, this game was made after the initial warsim demo but before I took on Warsim properly and began turning it into a game. This proc gen wasteland explorer game was worked on intensely for 6 months before I had the source code wiped... Didn't keep any backups back then like a bloody idiot but hey lessons learned...
IceBound Zero
A new entry to the list and honestly the reason for this article, I saw this post pop up on the Warsim subreddit this week and it seems like someone is working on a Warsimlike where you play a small time drug dealer. A very interesting early project that I hope continues to grow!
Future Warsimlikes...
And beyond that, I had a number of people like this lad message or post to share that they too are working on some Warsimlikes that may rear their heads in the future!
And as with any of them, I welcome them all with open arms and will always be happy to help and support these projects, it's a badge of honour that any game would be inspired by my passion project and It brings me endless joy!
Respect and love to you all

Ps, check out some active Warsimlike development over on our discord in the Warsimlikes room! And if you have your own project please post all about it there :) - https://discord.gg/YyFAkry98w

Warsim Collectors Edition (First Look at the Physical Warsim Copies!)
Hey guys,
So for a while now I've been working on building Warsim collectors editions, most big games that do them have studios and staff to sort this stuff out but I've had to do this solo and find these manufacturers myself.
A few years ago I hit a brick wall that prevented me from being able to complete the project and I dropped it in pursuit of other things like finishing Warsim's early access release.
Well I've been back on it these last few months and awesomely it's all come together!
I've got some stickers, posters, box copies, and even Warsim official coins done. I'm waiting on a few final pieces to arrive and will finally be ready to release the collectors editions.
Hopefully within the next few months
Here's a video of me unboxing a boxed copy!
And some behind the scenes on the putting together of this collectors edition
Draft of the coins
Original image from the game itself
The Real thing!
Stickers
A pallette of PC discs
Thank you all for the continued support with all this stuff, you guys are the reason I can do this!
Cheers
