The Warhorn - Devlog #7

Lubaszsteam_community_announcements

1171d ago

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31026261/2031683d2eec5accb7c9eb7b03feb3e248275f7f.png Dear adventurers! We are pleased to announce that with every update, released in regular timelines, we are adding new mechanics and features to the experimental version of The Warhorn, that is running on Unreal Engine 5. In the last few updates there have been multiple features added to The Warhorn. Remember that this is just the beginning, as our roadmap contains many more changes that you will see in the nearest future. As in the last update we have added the mechanic of first mini game – Capture The Flag - we will organize several events that will be using it, testing also other network features, strictly connected with multiplayer mechanisms.

How we stopped worrying and learned to love the sticks

In Unreal Engine 5 player gear progression will have more layers than in UE4 (default version) Warhorn - as you can see, in one of the first updates we have introduced tier 0 or so-called ‘caveman gear’. Stone & stick tools are easy to make, cheap and don’t break too easily, but damage-wise they will be the worst choice of weapons in the game. As a result, every tool after this first step will be much sturdier. After crafting your first set of tools you should look for some metals. And speaking of metals...

The Copper Age

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31026261/aedb3b0f42627a2ed123876b03c42922171f26ab.png Copper tools and weapons will be the foundation of early game gathering and combat. Also, you will not be forced to settle down before crafting your first set of tools. No, you wouldn't be able to smelt every ore in the game without settling down, but there will be no need to sacrifice too much if you want to explore and find your perfect spot. You will be able to craft copper tools, go to a good place to build a base and start gathering resources.

Introducing…pig

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31026261/0847e41e467fc7ac35edce6a9590bce8981edb57.png In the last published roadmap we have promised that deer will be the first introduced animal, but due to the need of redesigning some aspects of The Warhorn’s hunting mechanics and ranged combat we finally decided that you will see pigs at a much earlier stage. As you remember, in UE4 pigs were one of basic huntable animals and this will not change in the new version of the game, but hunting will be much easier and more immersive. Yeah, this chonker will be easy to catch but getting better animal based materials will require a more serious hunting..

Early map expansion and building mechanics

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31026261/b29a55cd1bd030216f23d87df3e5e210a780936f.png In the default version of The Warhorn you will soon see large chunks added to the map at the north-west and south-east. We are preparing building spaces and realizing the first phase of expansion of the green biome. Before implementation of the next biome we want to polish, expand and refine the main highland area. Previous map from UE4 version had one, most important problem - it was big enough, but a large part of features was stretched around various corners and hard to reach. In the experimental (UE5) version, the map will be open for exploration like in default Warhorn (UE4) but in new version we have a new philosophy - ‘quality over quantity’. There will be no filler plains, never-ending roads or other features typical for too large open worlds.

Social Media growth and diversification

We are also happy to announce that our community is constantly growing – our social medias are now more active, so if you want to see new materials created actually in The Warhorn, so as be up to date with news (not only about updates, but also events, sales and giveways), there are more ways to achieve it. As The Warhorn had it official channels on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, we have started adding regular videos on our Tiktok and created our official subreddit. You can also join our Discord, where you can ask our dev team directly about in-game features. All social medias channels are being fulfilled with materials and discussions about the game – check and join r/TheWarhornGame

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31026261/d17240508ce1099a9c953a308de02cbbb7b8f170.png Hello adventurers! This time we have prepared more details about the roadmap and patch notes for the experimental version. Below you will read about what we plan to add in the coming months, as well as where you can find information about newest patch notes. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31026261/1a0a16d940365c302d5fdac5c0cd1be5441a3a10.png

Roadmap - Experimental Version

Development of the experimental version looks very good, every day we develop more and more things. The inventory and crafting systems have already been implemented, in the coming weeks we will add the system for using tools and extracting resources. The version is becoming more playable and you will soon be able to enjoy it. We work hard to make the game better so we introduce many modifications that will improve and enhance the gameplay. https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/660920/view/3405311447044190135 Below you can take a look at the roadmap for the next 6 months.

January - February

Inventory System
Crafting System
Chest system
Using tools
Resource extraction
New creatures: Pig, Entling
Swimming and crouch system
In-game messages
Sound effects and music

March - April

Building system - Functional buildings
Map system
Torch system
New creature: Deer
Creature loot and spawn system

May - June

Armor system
Building system - Custom buildings
New creatures: Wolf and Clay Warrior

These 6 months are very important and crucial for us, because this roadmap contains most of the mechanics that are the main core of the game. Once they are implemented, the development of the game will enter a higher level and adding new things will be much faster and easier. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31026261/d4da88a6e47123aae69024d99081ed755ce75651.png

Patch notes

In the last month, updates to the experimental version have been released regularly several times a week, this way we want to make sure that all the changes we make to the game code do not cause any problems. This way we are able to catch the critical bugs or even the smallest ones very quickly. We use our own build system, which automates the entire build and deployment process, so you get updates with every change we make. Patch notes usually contain one to several entries, but they are released very frequently, almost daily. In the coming days, the list of changes will also be made available on the public Discord channel (patch-notes), so you will be kept informed of what changes are being made in the experimental version. Additionally for those who are not members of the discord server, every three weeks we will publish an announcement on steam, which will contain a summary of the latest updates. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31026261/eb54f028bcafddaddb9e0edaf317f9ed2a5ba06b.png If you want to help us develop the game or have other questions regarding The Warhorn, join our Discord! https://discord.gg/SbsRXMM

The Warhorn - Devlog #5

Multiplayer and stability in experimental version

After the stress test from 5 November and another round of internal network tests we needed to fix some stuff and now we have good resultats-basic foundations of UE5 multiplayer are working as intended. No desync problems, random lags or weird crashes. Also we have potentially fixed some niche problems with some hardware and software configurations so UE5 will be more stable than UE4.

Return of the Bag

In the UE5 version the inventory system is partially rewritten from a technical standpoint and we are getting much better results. Overall, the inventory system will run smoothly and be slightly less janky. New standard for the largest stack will be 120 units in one inventory slot and the smallest one will be possibly somewhere around 15-30. Tools and weapons will not be stackable but overall they will last longer than in the UE4 version so going to dunegons with more than 3 swords will be a thing of the past. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31026261/4b0da3516074a48f473ac192cb3145771a7de2ce.jpg

Cold iron shall be the master of you all..

In UE5 we are overhauling the entire crafting system so magic can appear later in development. The Warhorn needed some changes to stay fresh and some old systems were requiring extra attention. Firstly, early in the UE5 lifecycle we will introduce cooper and stone as resources for crafting tools. This step was hotly debated inside our team but after one month of analysis we decided that iron will no longer be the first and only tier of tools. Yeah, this means that you will get iron tools slightly later. But don’t worry, this change does not mean that you will dig copper with tools made of mud and later dig iron with something that breaks if your character sneezes in the wrong direction. Tools in future updates will be more durable and resource gathering will be more satisfying.

On Early Access

As you understand The Warhorn is still in early access and we're working on future updates. Experimental version usually gets updated more than two times in a week and with every week we are moving forward with production of graphic assets, code and animations. Updates of UE5 version are small and numerous so we are not writing path notes for every bug or code fix. It would mean that you would get community post every 2-4 days or even every day. Unreal Engine 4 version was getting larger updates to the main branch and smaller updates to the developer branch, it’s normal thing in game development. Visible updates were often sum of smaller ones-we are not informing about the gap between x.x.47 and x.x.49 because you are only interested in changes between x.1.x and x.2.x. Overall change to update frequency doesn't mean that we ,,do less stuff”. We only decreased amount of patch notes that we are publishing on steam. This will soon change, and we will start sharing regular patch notes from the experimental version. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31026261/48e74700bbf02c2370f98790d5ef69a0262d4e44.png

Message from Krawiec (Game designer)

Hi, today I want to touch on one specific topic-difference between planned content from devlogs and things that I currently have on the drawing board or project documentation. Firstly, on devlogs we are often informing the community about incoming work-in-progress features. If you see a model, animation or element of terrain this often means that we are working on it. If something is on concept art-we are planning to soon start work on it or we are currently working on this asset. Second category is stuff from internal project documentation (such as GDD) or designer’s drawing board. Currently in my spare time I'm working on game design and mechanics of undead biome, polearms, two handed weapons and capybara mount. This doesn't mean that we can or should talk about or promise those features. Yes, we can do that and actions like this could increase the amount of copies sold but really…it would end someday and unethical business practices often lead to downfall. If you need technical support or have any questions about Warhorn’s development you can always ask on our discord server. https://discord.gg/SbsRXMM

You can play the new version if you have The Warhorn game on your account. Feel free to play and try the game on the new Unreal Engine 5. Let us know your impressions of the beta version of the game.

Before you play

Remember that the experimental version is still work in progress, doesn’t have many of the main mechanics - the mechanics in the experimental version have been heavily reduced. The visual part of the game is also not the final result - it has many bugs and glitches, which are constantly corrected and optimized. If you get stuck somewhere, use /spawn command in the chat (Y key) to teleport to the starting village.

Why is there a new version?

We want you to see with us how The Warhorn world is created and how it changes for the better with your help. The experimental version aims to improve the quality of the game, optimize it and provide even more enjoyment. With the experimental version, the developers receive feedback from players at an early stage of development, so we are able to improve or fix the current mechanics faster and easier. We are open to your suggestions and ideas, so if you would like to share one, please visit our discord or steam discussions. Read more about experimental version in the previous news! https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/660920/view/3370407901765429809

How to play a beta version

If you have The Warhorn game on your account you can switch between release version and beta version. To do this go to your Steam Library and find The Warhorn game in the list, then go to properties. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31026261/30fdb4b12091c97054b517c3b9df9e7d50329fe2.png In the Betas tab you can select the version you want to play, None - means the official release version (you can always switch back). If you want to try a new version, choose experimental - UE5 version. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31026261/aa2e5780cd88774fe0dbff0821a8d82334a15551.png When you select a new version, steam will download the version automatically.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31026261/15c28bec663c869be5cbaf53b9f29809963d7776.png https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/660920/view/3405311447044190135 After many weeks of work, unhealthy amounts of energy drinks and serious exposure to UE5 we can now announce the Experimental Version of UE5 update. Experimental Version will be stripped from most of Warhorn’s game mechanics-everything is work in progress and we are working on the re-implantation of core mechanics but the first alpha test will be focused on network code and graphic optimization.

New engine, new challenges

Games in early access can be janky, poorly optimized or even not work at all. Well, even some AAA games can crash at specific conditions…so we decided that giving a possibility to test graphical settings and other aspects of experimental build to players would be a good idea. Yes, you don’t need to wait for the full beta release to check if the UE5 version will work on your PC!

Multiplayer not from day one..but before day one

Experimental version even without a large chunk will have a multiplayer gamemode. In future all quests, locations and other adventures will be avabile in fully supported multiplayer-coop and PVP. Network code will receive further improvments, so in the UE5 version you will be able to just call your squad, open a can of soda and have a good Friday evening with The Warhorn.

Network test

With the release of the Experimental version we will start a new event-open multiplayer test for everyone interested in supporting Warhorn’s development. We need your help to optimize network code and provide lag-free experience in future updates.

FAQ

1.Will the new UE5 version replace the current Warhorn? No, Experimental UE5 version will be a beta branch and updating to UE5 will require manually changing to the beta branch via steam. In the future after the release of the UE5 upgrade Unreal Engine 4 version (current one) of the Warhorn will be available as a beta branch. We are not taking a game that you bought from you and if you will prefer an old Warhorn-you will be able to return to the old version. 2.Who can participate in an open multiplayer test? Open multiplayer test….well, everyone with a legally purchased copy of Warhorn and working internet connection. We don’t require a ,,tester” rank in our discord server for this test. 3.When UE5 will receive full implenentation of gameplay mechanics? Experimental version should be considered a benchmark for the UE5 version and game mechanics are currently revised, reimagined, fixed or reworked. Most basic (such as inventory) ones will return soon. The Warhorn in UE4 version had a problem with source code that had some elements backing to first builds from…2018. Yes, some scripts were 4 years old and others…were somewhat creepy. Example-UE4 version has a strange script that reduces damage in PvP, nobody knows when it was written and where it comes from and how it works. Another one is a short code without connection to other parts of the game and The Warhorn brutally crashes without it.. As you understand, we really need to revisit some elements of the Warhorn source code and remove weird (or possibly extraterrestrial in origin…) scripts. It will be much shorter than starting from scrap but we need some time. 4.Upgrade to UE5 will be a paid DLC? No, you paid for The Warhorn once and supported us with your wallet. We are not planning to charge you for an update. Also to get access to the experimental branch you will need to manually change to beta version via steam-UE5 version will not appear as dlc. 5.Wait….UE5 version has a new map? Yes, with the UE5 upgrade we are implementing a new map with new content. Most of the game mechanics will also be revamped. Old map was big but…had a lot of problems with implantation and optimization. Map from the experimental build is planned as a small part of a much larger world that will run smoother and will be larger than the old map.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31026261/b3ce7244ef0bab7b8909f5b9e9d148cccefc247c.png Hello everyone to our 4th devlog! We are very excited to share more development information with you!

New Team Members

We start this devlog with a great news, two more people have joined our team. A short message from our new 3D artist Aitrik and 3D animator AgeTheGee below. Hi! I'm Albert (Aitrik). Currently, I'm responsible for creating new assets, creatures and redesigning old ones (anything that includes 3D modeling). Hi There Everyone!😄 I'm Agata (AgeTheGeek) and I'm a 3D animator for softwares like Blender & Maya. I'll be working on animations for creatures and characters that you can meet within the game. I'll do my best to make Warhorn's animation section look great! If you have any questions, feel free to text me on Discord

Experimental Version

The new version of The Warhorn game on which we have focused all our efforts, is only available for developers. We called it the experimental version, it is built on the new Unreal Engine 5. In this version, part of the game is completely created from scratch, we rewrite old mechanics, which are improved and optimized so that players get a much better feeling from the game than before. As a result, we have the opportunity to test the game at an early stage and get rid of bugs that caused bothersome network lags. The version is still in a stripped down form, but we consider releasing this version to the public Steam branch. And therefore each of you could play and see how the new version of The Warhorn is created and how it changes, where all the community ideas and opinions would be appreciated. Let us know in the comments if you want to play the experimental version now or if you'd rather wait for the game to be released on the official Steam version. /Lubasz {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31026261/8b3c176840e11c8f4368548f2827270f98cb88f0.png

Game World

We would like to give you a glimpse of what is currently going around map and level design in The Warhorn. We are currently working on completely new map which is divided into several distinct and unique sections. Each region will contain new activities, different type of biomes, structures to explore and new enemies to face. Every bigger update will add new region to the map, as well as part of main plot connected with it. First one will include mainly default green biome with some mountain area. Regions are packed with content and interesting places to explore, but we are aware of realism and sense of scale in the game. We don’t want to throw you into a map, where action is constantly happening or there is nothing to do – we would like to keep it balanced and pleasing to play as much as possible. Here are some screenshots from current WIP locations. Can’t wait to share the whole region with you! /Pavvlito {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31026261/dc4acaf38639893835b2a1aa321a3f4300daf948.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31026261/c0f5a5c5367f1fdb8588e23bc251e70cf22ebfda.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31026261/4eafc6f415f74bb511acdcc478add7b110a1185b.png

Lore

Crows „Beware of them” the Old man said, his eyes turned into two men who guard the village. Their equipment was well-made, far beyond reach of the typical watchman. „If they relate you to other races or magic, they will break you. You will confess to everything. Even to things you could not do, and then they will hang you.” He finished with small on his face. „Why they do that!?” The boy was upset and frightened. „Did you saw a fish washed ashore?” „Yes, I did bu…” Old man interrupt him. „They are like that fish. Their death is coming, the more they struggle, the less oxygen is left.” Most loyal servants of the von Tiers family and The Crown. The impact of cataclysm was biggest for nobility, and it was not in they favor. They have to act quickly to maintain they power. To do so, head of the von Tiers family, gather troops and moved into Tyros, the place where the anomaly began. They want to achieve two things there. One is secure extraction of the magic crystal, which may be crucial for the State. The second thing is to understand what happened and how to reverse the anomaly. The leader of the group is called Baron and his most trusted man is called Lieutenant. They are proud, loyal and fearless warriors, and they live by the chivalric code. By the other hand, they feel only contempt to other races and hate everything which is linked with magic. This attitude is especially seen in Baron behaviors. The group name emerged from von Tiers crest /Caim {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31026261/60acf3abee4f851d847866daeb72a483a5e608f2.png

Damage Changes

In the UE5 version there will be only three main damage types - ranged, melee and magic. Each damage type will be boosted by different bonuses from perk tree and will have seperated upgrades for damage and critical damage. Yes, magic will be a valid option for damage-focused and support characters. Sadly, magical part of perk tree will not be include in first build of UE5 version due to need for fast release of stable version and fact that magic is available after early game. Also, in UE5 you will see a new damage type called ,,armor-piercing damage” that as you can imagine…ignores armor. Starting random fights even with weaker players can end with taking some damage and brute forcing damage through monster resistances will be more forgiving but not optimal. Speaking of monster resistances.. Players will only have damage resistances from armor but in the cases of many creatures that inhabit world of Warhorn resistances will be split into three categories-melee, magic and ranged. There will be no arrow-proof or sword-proof creatures but having a party with mixed playstyles can help in some situations. New perk tree The UE5 version will bring new perk tree and big changes to leveling systems-player characters will level up more often but each level will give less power than in previous power so we will be able to give you a much longer perk tree with less powercreep. Survival skills will be contained in two different branches-gatherer and survivor. Each branch will contains different sub-branches like survivor's ,,athlete line” that gives extra movement speed and deerslaying ,,forester”. Combat is damage focused and contains branches with bonuses for melee and ranged combat. In the future we will add a magic branch but further re-implementation of magic system will require some time. Rogue is also known as ,,lol, i didn’t expected that” branch. Here you can decrease fall damage, improve stealth and bring to PvP battlefield deception-based (or overall based tactics..) to bamboozle other players. Defense branch will improve your survivability in combat and in future updates will counter some nasty abilities of some monsters. Building is all about improving structures and making better defenses. Defense specialist will be able to create insanely improved fortifications and fix breaches with only basic resources. /Krawiec If you want to help us develop the game or have other questions regarding The Warhorn, join our Discord! https://discord.gg/SbsRXMM

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31026261/de14ff62910c5f7c1404ff5fa9877be178bb8eea.png Hi Everyone and welcome to our third devlog! Today we have a few topics to discuss. But before we start, there’s someone who wants to tell you something: „Imagine a world. Place which belong to the people. This piece of land was granted to them by the gods, so they could work hard and earn their place in the afterlife. Think about the desert, traveled by nomad clans. Picture the highest mountains, which could almost touch the sky. Fields so lush that they looked like rough seas. May the picture of children, women and man, working together, performing their duties by the divinity's will and with methods, shared from father to son, burn into your mind. It all perished. Monsters flooded our world. Beasts hide somewhere in our woods, and forgotten by the deities races, live in our villages. In one night, our past, present, and future ceased to exist. We angered our gods, and they, in return, began the End of Times!” — Aban, traveler and cartographer

Lore

Alright, last week we have been working really hard to create the whole world and main plot. Most important event was some kind of anomaly which changed everything. Only few people know what exactly happened. By progressing the main quests, you will learn more about that event. What’s essential, when that anomaly happened, magic found a way to this world. Plants and animals are not the same they used to be. Next was nasty beasts and monsters who came after magic, they brought chaos and anarchy with them. All states try to survive in this grim time and new races try to find their home in our globe. Planet has changed. You will wake up on an island after a shipwreck. There are three main groups with different purposes and goals. To save the world, they have to start to work together. Monster and beasts, they are just a part of something older and more evil. This world needs heroes like never before. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31026261/8d3e94fd17cd89e2456719e4020ad1bede44526b.png

Unreal Engine 5

Migration stage continued… Moving the game to the new Unreal Engine 5 is our priority, and we focus all developer resources on it. Many features have been changed in the new engine that require a long analysis and looking for the problems in the existing code. The game is very complex and has many mechanics, so the entire migration process may take a little longer. Most of the game features work properly, and the game is playable on the new engine, but we still require more time. Despite everything, we hope that we will release the new update soon, which will be on the new version of the Unreal Engine. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31026261/96ac47dfaf723d72ae67035c9b98290e45361eeb.jpg

New World

We are currently working on a new map that will introduce the player to the wonderful world of the game, show the first mechanics and take him to a world full of adventures and dangerous creatures. Although The Warhorn is a survival builder game, we want the world to harmonize with the story and provide the players with even more adventure. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31026261/00530d5fb16f673de7e29379df2fe42f711416a5.jpg

Redesign UI

There will also be changes to the player's interface (UI/HUD). We want the game to feel even better so that the player quickly understands how to use it after entering the game. We received plenty of messages where players had trouble reading or understanding the UI correctly. Not only will we create the interface larger, make it more readable but also, add more interactive elements that will make the interface intuitive.

Perk tree and damage balance

We want to further refine the balance of the game, so the perk tree will be modified and divided into sections that will focus even more on combat, survival, and building. More and different bonuses will be added that will diversify the gameplay and reward the player. In addition, new types of damage will be created, depending on the type of weapon and attack. We want to share more about each story fraction. That’s why we are going to publish a devlog specific for each of them. When? Stay tuned and join our discord server https://discord.gg/SbsRXMM. Please share with us your opinion about the story and changes! We cannot wait to hear from you!

The Warhorn - Devlog #2

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31026261/6f2c1f4787c3d9562fde6502556e80fa91ebdd90.png Welcome everyone to our second Devlog on The Warhorn development. ːTheWarhornLogoː

The Warhorn Team

Over the past four weeks, a new development team has been trained and prepared to work on The Warhorn game and as a result, we managed to release a new update last week. It was a busy time, but it was spent in a wonderful atmosphere. It was a great decision to enlarge the team because the work on the game is gaining momentum. We are glad to say that another person joined The Warhorn Team this week. Please welcome Caim who is a writer, he will help us improve our lore and will definitely bring a brilliant vibe to the game. A short message from Caim below. Hi everyone! My name is Kuba (Caim), my job is to deliver you memorable, interesting characters and enjoyable stories. We’re doing what we can to make The Warhorn a great game. Stay tuned and if you have any questions, you can find me on the discord server.

Next Update

All the time we work on early game balance such as arranging the old town to make it easier for new players. We adjust the treasure chests items to make the game fairer and not totally random as The Warhorn's balance is not good and players can run around with heavy metal armor after a few minutes of play. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31026261/15172660188fd55169fed4c7e97b62438d38c466.jpg We will also reduce death losses, in the current version of the game it's a lot bugs where players can die through no fault of theirs, we don't want it to discourage people from playing. Additionally, we are constantly focusing on bug fixing that hinder the gameplay.

Unreal Engine 5

The first step in migration is done, we finally successfully opened a project in Unreal Engine 5. There are still a lot of errors in the project but this is the first huge step for the game, next stage is to fix fatal errors, migrate plugins and finally compile the game. There are still many challenges ahead of us but we are really determined to fully migrate the game because we see the potential of the version of the engine and work in the new engine is well optimized. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31026261/28b3223237ca8a59b2e5301f3fe618b936836aee.png

Creatures

The behavior of creatures is very problematic, they are stiff, unnatural, sometimes freezing and not fighting well, they cause many problems that affect performance. We analyze the animal code and with each update we improve them to finally create a good enemies to fight in the world of The Warhorn.

Concept Arts

At the end we want to share new concept arts created by our talented artist abincco :) Please enjoy and comment what do you think about it. Rocks and stones. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31026261/d05e479f466b1894c3b5553d5522128c9cdedc19.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31026261/75d9a533c82061fb2ae8026b1cbc0da3eb2f2fee.png Natural portal. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31026261/187e49e812bc7efd000913839f1c49b99288e78c.jpg New leather equipment. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31026261/7cc952778975be2a8bacfdb1689ecdd1e6a33411.png Let us know in the comments section what you think about our devlogs and what else you would like to read in them.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31026261/c04fcba1ff3c47f383c9b02b401ed47c9bb110ad.png Hello everyone! It's nice to announce that we're kicking off our first developer blog!

NEW TEAM

The last year The Warhorn wasn't going well, but its time to change! We have taken some big steps to help The Warhorn raise from its knees. One of them was enlarge the team, because we are aware that two people can't handle with such a big game. We've spent the last weeks looking for awesome people, so please welcome our new team members! @Martat - UE4 Programmer @Krawiec - QA & Game Designer @Szkuti - AI Programmer @Pavvlito - Level Designer & 2D Artist @Abbinco - Concept Artist @Bobon - Social Media Specialist We know that together we can create something better and players will be able to spend hours enjoying The Warhorn game! ːTheWarhornLogoː You can find new developers on our Discord server and feel free to ask any question. https://discord.gg/SbsRXMM

CHANGES

We are in the process of analyzing in which we want to focus on the most important elements of the game and develop them. We want to improve building, combat and exploration because we know that is the core of the game. Furthermore we will optimize the multiplayer to give you the opportunity to enjoy the game with your friends. We are aware that the early game is lame, so in the next update we will focus on item balance and we are going to add tier 0 equipement for new players. When you die in the early stage of the game, it is really hard to get a new sword without any money, so players will be able to craft basic sword and armor in the crafting menu. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31026261/bdf6a857708d32f5fad5125f96dbde18ef8aa386.jpg The new locations are really important to us so we want to design and create a more magnificent and magical world of The Warhorn! The arts below presents a concept of a new cave from a new chapter of the game. We are really excited about designing new game locations. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31026261/975d993deffb9b72f4d679bafe8ad1f3ff10fada.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31026261/743d16906f2bcfacae950692bd89d09206dafac1.jpg

UNREAL ENGINE 5

We want to keep up with the time so we face a big challenge of migrating the game to a brand new Unreal Engine 5. We know that it will take a long time to optimize and adjust the whole game to the new engine, but we are motivated to implement new technologies to The Warhorn.

The Warhorn Update - Ver. 0.9.1.0

Lubaszsteam_community_announcements

2378d ago

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31026261/4573fe523c210a1bcf27fce07ff2b4815f1c6ad2.png Big Changes: - The map changed - many empty areas were removed in order to leave only important places on the map. That saved around 44% of the total map size, so loading times will be shorter. That change also influenced rendering time when playing the game so everyone should see additional frames. But also there is enought space for you villages, so don't worry! :). We want to create as dense and as interesting a world as we can. That's why we decided that we need to remove some empty places. It's also the first step for creating a traveling system. The next step is to add boats that players will be able to use to travel. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31026261/9f658989e75b84449c89b7a18ba91bea069c5455.jpg - Shadows were changed/optimized. On ultra settings you will get an extra 7ms on rendering shadows, which can lead to an additonal 20 fps (eg. GTX 1060 - we have got 20 fps more comparing to previous build). Low shadows settings can give you even 40 fps more comparing to previous game build. There is still work to be done about shadows in order to make them perfect, but we wanted to release a new system as soon as we could.

FIXED/CHANGED:

- Vendor in the village won't eat food from the storehouse - Fixed saving feathers, tallow and leather in the storehouse - After killing a few animals in the barn player got resources only for one - When killing animals in the barn, player didn't get leather - Amount of light in dark places like caves, dungeons, houses. Now it's brighter so you will be able to see and fight enenies when exploring the world. - Lowered prices for fast travel system - Opened entrance to the pyramid in the jungle island (Puzzle was temporarly hidden and will be used in the future update) - Torches bug - when torch got empty, new one was spawned and attached to the hand so player got two - Lowered fall damage 4 times - Changed color and brightness of items that player can't create in crafting window and in building window - Position of in-game tutorial to make it more visible to players - Friends that are visible (By using Q button) vanished when player opened any window and didn't appear when player closed it - More money when starting the game (now random number between 650-750 coins)

ADDED:

- Faster walking and running on dirt and sand (around 20% faster) - Tutorials for: - Using Shields - Mine in the village - Using swords instead of tools to kill creatures
