Warsim 0.7.5 - The Monster Trainer Update!
Hey guys I'm really happy to finally be able to release this update today, this has been another tough one to code so it look a lot longer than expected but here we are, the Monster Trainer Update. I also recorded a video demonstrating the new monster trainer update features, see it here.
**MONSTER TRAINER UPDATE**
So this was suggested a while ago on audiogames and also recently on steam by Blackenblood and so others so finally I decided to give it a go, now you can build a monster pit and find yourself some procedurally generated monsters either by buying them or sending an expedition of soldiers to capture one for you, captured monsters can fight with eachother, be named, be trained, or be pitted against one of 42 different challengers each with their own procedurally generated beasts, the system was made to be fun and was bugtested more rigorously than new features usually are but let me know of any bugs or suggestions you have for it!

Your work is just incredible. I follow you here and on Steam (I own your game over there) for quite some time now and I'm again and again totally intrigued and amazed of what you do. I imagine you put thousands of hours in your game and it definitively shows. All the content you add and all the adjustments and improvements you make are just phenomenal for me to witness. I don't comment very often but I'm always observing and it's a pleasure to read about every new update. Fantastic work, your game is a class of its own!
Thanks Athanasius, that really really means a lot :) I've been working on warsim for years and don't think I'll be stopping anytime soon! Lovely comments like this are the best source of motivation though. Thanks for commenting and for supporting the game <3
Thank you for doing what you do! :) I'm very happy you won't stop with it soon. Your dedication is really inspiring. Many of these lousy so called "AAA"-developers should take an example from you.
Thanks again man, never liked seeing early access projects get abandoned, especially when they were being sold, I feel like I owe everyone the best game I can possibly make :)
