Greetings fellow gods,
Today we'll finally talk about the progression system planned for Soulash 2!
Let's start by having a little retrospective about the first Soulash and its progression. As you remember, we had a relatively simple system with seven professions, each having 13 - 14 skills for every level of experience. We can pick the core profession ability or one of t...

Yet again, a big chunk of progress this past two weeks. I must be in the happiest development stage as I can't get tired of grinding! At the end of the last devlog, I mentioned going after the progression system next, but as I pondered how to bite it, I decided to make a ...

Solid two weeks of progress this time around. Aside from the recently released Soulash v1.0.12, I've continued working on the procedural Region maps introduced last time.
As you probably know from Soulash, I've built its world as many interconnected static region maps that created a...

Today we're going to start a new series of devlogs that I plan to release every other Friday, describing progress on Soulash 2.

This post is for everyone interested in how much money there is in game development and how to determine if there is enough interest in a genre or similar ideas before deciding to pursue them. It will also allow you to predict if a game, before its release, was marketed well enough to have a chance at success.
I'll show you step by step how I've made my predic...

Greeting fellow gods,
Today I would like to take a moment to share my thoughts about where things will likely go from here. As some of you know, I left my job to focus on game development at the beginning of April, and I wanted to take a short break after the exhausting release week to think about the future of Soulash and beyond.
Before we look into the future...

Greetings fellow gods,
Today a bunch of screens and gifs featuring our upcoming graphics mod, including some of the gods and their effects on the world. Hope you like what you see, and leave us some feedback. The graphics mod will release when it's ready, either as early access by the end of this year, or as a 1.0 release early 2022.
Enjoy,

Greetings fellow gods,
Remember the times when there were cheats implemented in most games? You could always find them in some gaming magazines. In the latest Soulash patch v0.5.1 I've introduced a Cheat Console to be able to test things quicker and enabled it for everyone as it can be an invaluable tool for modding as well.
To access the console you need to first enable debugging. ...

Greetings fellow gods,
Some of you might wonder how big is the world of Soulash and what kind of fantastic locations we can destroy. Here's how the world looks like in the v0.5 alpha version, in one of the iterations selected during the start of the new game. And obviously, some locations are on different z-level, as this is just a ground zero.
