Steam Workshop is here for Bulwark!
In preparation for Wednesdays ShipShaper launch, I have pushed the beta update to live.
This means the following:
Bulwark now has a workshop for ships, these are exported from my new game shipshaper, which goes live this Wednesday (will be quite affordable upon release).
Subscribe to the ships in the workshop, the keywords will tell you what ship they replace
The selection is limited but will explode Wednesday when everyone can export ships from Shipshaper. T
Switch to any trade or combat surface ship and sail around (for fun you can also manually fire its guns)
reload Bulwark and they will replace the appropriate ship in Bulwark
Prepare your ships in the Demo, you can save them until Wednesday when the full version appears . The Demo does not export to Bulwark... so wait till Wednesday.View game page
Some unrelated new features to this update for Bulwark.
I reworked the entire Tutorial, removing the flying lock and making it more responsive and explorative. The old one was pretty sucky.
Some minor fixes and polish on items

A new phase for the Franchise of Bulwark.
Some folks have asked if this is the end of Bulwark support , seeing as I've moved into boats. But this isn't the case entirely, I never truly stop with any of my games. And to be truly honest, I have no idea what will happen the coming months. Shipshaper might be a lovely little addition, it might take off, or anything in between. I have also some hope that this will finally draw folks back to Bulwark that have been on the fence. I mean Bulwark is no longer the game it was at release, but releases are what Steam rolls on. So who knows? But rest assured the next mainline game should be "Ancient Waves" a sailing prequel to the Falconeer that will show some of the deep origins of this world.
Please Please support ShipShaper, it's part of a strategy to keep this franchise going, so a Wishlist is going to go a long way!
Go try out some ships and
Ahoy,

Tomas

Ship based Workshop releases for Bulwark in BETA now!
Steam Workshop is here for Bulwark! So it's been a while since I did a big update for Bulwark, and it's time to remedy this with some big news. For those of you who follow my games, I am creating shipshaper a historical and fantasy boat design experience/game that allows you to d
Steam Workshop is here for Bulwark!
So it's been a while since I did a big update for Bulwark, and it's time to remedy this with some big news. For those of you who follow my games, I am creating shipshaper a historical and fantasy boat design experience/game that allows you to design boats, a little bit like Spore or Tiny Glade. ShipShaper also is part of this franchise, because it exports straight to Bulwark via the Steam Workshop.

Here's what these ships look like inside Bulwark.
So a quick rundown of this news
Shipshaper is a fun new way to design ships, not just for Bulwark but it exports specifically to Bulwark also
Shipshaper releases September 2nd into EA.
I've released a selection of ships NOW into the Bulwark Workshop
You need to set Bulwark to BETA via game properties/betas and select the beta update
Subscribe to the ships in the workshop, the keywords will tell you what ship they replace
reload Bulwark and they will appear
Warning: You cannot export ships from shipshaper to Bulwark YET !, that will be part of the EA release September 2nd. What does this mean for the future of Bulwark?
Well that's the right question, roughly it means that its very hard to maintain Bulwark on Steam, because Steam rewards new games and releases. And Shipshaper is a franchise focused attempt to create an ecosystem within this franchise. Games that connect and work together and keep adding value. And hopefully Shipshaper will bring in new players and fans for Bulwark. Thus allowing me to keep building this universe. Now shipshaper also has a heavy historical aspect, so I am blurring the lines a bit, but that is because I both love boats in general and need to bring in new players.

IF you want to support this direction, see more games in this universe that connect to each other, then for the love of Gabe, please Wishlist and help ShipShaper succeed. or just try out the demo!!
View game page
There are also some new features to this beta update for Bulwark.
In the Beta you can control any of these ships the same way you switch to your command flagship, hold the cursor reticule near and press the switch button and voila you are sailing the boat
you can fire the ships guns if you aim far away with the mouse, they only fire at sea level,, so a bit of fun in a naval encounter
I reworked the entire Tutorial, removing the flying lock and making it more responsive and explorative. The old one was pretty sucky.

Tomas ! What happened to the Medieval House DLC?
Well that's still coming, but me and the publisher have decided to release that after ShipShaper in order to focus all effort on ShipShaper and the Steam Workshop integration for Bulwark. So it will release likely shortly after Ship Shaper. This also gives me some time to unwind and add a bit more goodness to the Medieval housepack.!

View game pageDo wishlist that as well !

Anyways,, There is a grand vision unfolding for Bulwark, and the entire franchise. But like always it can only be done with your support. This isn't about viral hits or massive success, this is about building something sustainable brick by brick, and I hope with the Workshop and Shipshaper you all are going to be more a part of this than ever!
Cheerio, Tomas

P.S this beta is still in beta, so report any issues so I can fix them ;)

A MAJOR CITY BUILDING UPDATE!
An update with many features for people who like to focus on the city building elements of the game. It overhauls wall/walkway building allowing you to make curved settlements. It adds a new way to control a neighborhood theme via a tower cap, it overhauls tower building and adds new floors and caps so there is more variety in the actual core shape of towers. It improves interactions, it overhauls the economy and put in some foundations for more depth and challenge when designing resource locations, and it makes the ocean much prettier to look at, and every ship you own sailable.

So this started out as the prep work to connect Bulwark to my ShipShaper Ship design game, so you can use that as a design tool for Bulwark. But it ended being perhaps the most fundamental citybuilding update since release! Enjoy and let me know if I did a good job.

here's a link to shipshaper so you can check that out (exporting to bulwark will be part of the release, not the demo)

The Salt of the Sea!
Don't forget to leave a review for Bulwark, I know a lot of you already have but I think a lot of folks who tried Bulwark 2 years ago might find a completely different game and I would love to see some older reviews reflect all the care and effort that's gone in this game !
ANNOUNCING THE "MEDIEVAL DLC"
oops I also am working on a new Bulwark DLC. This is slated to release in the future to support the ShipShaper release and Bulwark further development. I will be adding a bit more to this theme pack over the summer, ideas are always appreciated.
View game page
On with the update!
Wall building Changes
you can now build curved walls of any type and any length and varying angles .
the curved walls are flexible and controllable based on the incoming walls on a tower, it tries to continue the existing walls as a starting tangent.
place a wall from an unconnected wall to make it straight or make it very short or long to force a straight wall
curtain walls placed underneath skyways also can be curved
improved the wall building algorithm to prevent edge cases where walls end up too high or flying in the air
high bridges are placed to actually cover gaps in the rocks
no curved walls for harbors
Harbor walls are forced to connect at water level.
Old non flexible curved sections removed and remade into new straight bridge sections that may spawn.
Some stone walls given deeper foundations so they look better
You may get curves, but you may not get order!
Resource Changes
The resource algorithm now counts the resource paths to find the highest providing path, not just the first calculated , providing a more predictable and logical outcome.
resource industry buildings can now spawn on foundations as well
resource power and outpost worker output counts second generation towers as well (so you can make more complex /diverse resource setups)
trade route profits vary based on distance and amount of resources transported (longer and more resource output equals a higher splinter profit)
the accurate profits are shown in the captain selector screen for the harbor
all captains get bonuses from trading with a trading post.
merchant princes get an overall 40% trading bonus
A endpoint or trading harbor will show blue if captains are assigned
resource buildings can spawn on foundations
resources are counted from towers two hops away from the extractor
resources are counted through a new system that is a bit more stringent and balanced to be a tad harder
resource flow paths fixed stretched icons
top tier iron industry buildings added if you supply an extractor with stone and wood
Dreadfully boring all that economy stuff, so I did at least set out to make the iron works look a lot more metal.. cuz metal..
Sail Any ship and ShipShaper preparations
you can select any ship on a trade route you own to sail around
if you sink a ship its captain is removed, (there is a risk with sailing a battleship into combat)
your surveyor and escorts will stick around your sailing ship
after you deselect the ship it will travel back to its trade route
new much higher quality water shader and waves
prevented ships from shortcutting through the maw via further pathfinding improvements
Pretty waves, basically the entire Ursee is just a tech artist's quest to ride the perfect wave!
Tower Building/cap improvements and neighborhoods
you can now change any floor easier by pressing the build floor when a floor is selected on a tower with a cap
you can easily swap a cap by pressing the build button selected (if no commander is present)
added new floor models
added new cap models
some caps are special and will spawn a certain architectural neighborhood, making a related set of craft houses spawn dominantly
a new type of craftsman house added and NPC encounter
any tower gets the same floor based on position seed as a default
after capping a floor simply pressing build on any floor, replaces that floor with the next type
the balconies now no longer have a random height and can be placed at level heights for more symmetrical towers.
Towers!.. but check out those waves!
Strategy Changes
fortresses don't destroy traceroutes (to prevent trade routes mis-connecting to the wrong harbors)
Wrekker and Verne more expensive
piranha and Murenal cheaper
wonder quest may spawn if you kill or vassalize a faction (or absorb), if you meet the 5000 pop criteria
friendly gun turrets ignore friendly items blocking them
if a command tower with a unit commander has no access to workers or is unconnected, the command interfaces will not be availlable to buy or set modes and the commander will mention needing workers to operate
fixed a bug where capital airship commanders weren't checking for workers at all
General changes
free build has a bunch of new starting locations
trees spawn further away from the source also
Interaction Changes
added double click, static click and shorter hold mouse to open the captain selector and world events
mouse cursor remains visible on the build line always
build line hides and goes to cursor only at ranges to far to connect or build, so the game feels more conventional on MKB.
selecting the trade route now doesn't override if the cursor is over a legit tower
the hidden build cursor setting removed,.
As always all this support is only made possible by your support and patronage, the game is now on a big sale, the lowest it will ever go and the support is ongoing. There is no best time to get in , except right now or re-discover the game. Things that help is adding a user review or following my developer profile https://store.steampowered.com/developer/TomasSala

or my youtube channel: ! Following or reviewing influences all the algorithms to keep all this support relevant and visible in the tsunami of new games also rightfully vying for your attention.!

So thank you and let me know if any bugs appear!

Hi everyone,
The new update Architecture & Economy will be a major update and it is scheduled to release 13th of May.
This one has grown over time and the main features added are the following features:
Curved wall and walkway building , a procedural curve system is implemented so you can create proper curved walls!
Economy and Resource system overhaul, a new resource algorithm is now a proper calculation that allows any tower to be supplied from the highest possible source, not just the first calculated
Trading system overhaul, the amounts you gain from splinters now make more sense based on the captain, distance and amount of resources traded.
Neighborhood system, you can now set the neighborhood around a tower by giving it a custom cap, these extra caps are gained from the craftsman builder you encounter and an additional one was added with its own new style.
Sailing around the Ursee, with any ship you own. You can take control of any boat on a trade route and steer it around, similarly to the flagship 6. Overhauled ocean visuals.. cuz why not..,
More tower floors, you can now replace the look of any floor by simply building over it, and pressing the build button (only after placing a cap)
Here's a nice long video showing all the changes: If I sound nasal,, I got the sniffles, sorry.
See you all the 13th..

Hi Everyone, Time for a bigger development update and announcing the next bigger update : Architecture and Economy.

This is isn't a massive content drop, but rather overhauling some core systems so they become better and more fully rounded.. and this specific latest addition is all about roundings.
Check out this video on the new curved walls available in the beta.
Watch on YouTube
You can also get curved curtain walls, basically any wall will curve itself to connect to the previous wall, if you want straight walls, just break the connection and then connect backwards.

The entire wall system has received a new algorithm that should create smoother wall gradients and now also curved walls. This more or less does away with the single fixed pre-curved walls, in favour of something much more user controlled.
New changes to the beta:
trees spawn further away from the source also
you can now build curved walls of any type and any length and varying angles
the system now attempts to keep walls smoothly aligned with curves, make longer or shorter ones to keep em straight or increase the angle
freebuild has a bunch of new starting locations
friendly gun turrets ignore friendly items blocking them

Changes previously in beta:
fortresses don't destroy traderoutes (to prevent traderoutes mis-connecting to the wrong harbours)
wrekker and verne more expensive
piranha and murenal cheaper
wonder quest may spawn if you kill or vassalize a faction (or absorb), if you meet the 5000 pop criteria
improved the wallbuilding algorithm to prevent edge cases where walls end up too high or flying in the air
high bridges are placed to actually cover gaps in the rocks
resources are now distributed based on a better algorithm makings sure any tower takes from the highest possible source.
resource industry buildings can now spawn on foundations as well
resource power and outpost worker output counts second generation towers as well (so you can make more complex /diverse resource setups)
traderoute profits vary based on distance and amount of resources transported (longer and more resource output equals a higher splinter profit)
the accurate profits are shown in the captain selector screen for the harbour
all captains get bonuses from trading with a tradingpost.
merchant princes get an overall 40% trading bonus

New beta update now live

Hi everyone , I am expanding the beta update with more improvements.
I am also working on another little secret feature that can be an esthetic game changer ! I don't know if it will work, but if it will , expect to be added to this beta update.

Most of the following changes are focused on improving core systems in building and economy. As a result of the much more complex resource algorithm. Also a few fixes from the war changes that were on beta already.
New improvements:
fortresses don't destroy traderoutes (to prevent the switchting)
wrekker and verne more expensive
piranha and murenal cheaper
wonder quest may spawn if you kill or vassalize a faction (or absorb), if you meet the 5000 pop criteria
improved the wallbuilding algorithm to prevent edge cases where walls end up too hight or flying in the air
high bridges are placed to actually cover gaps in the rocks
resource industry buildings can now spawn on foundations as well
resource power and outpost worker output counts second generation towers as well (so you can make more complex /diverse resource setups)
traderoute profits vary based on distance and amount of resources transported (longer and more resource output equals a higher splinter profit)
Running beta changes
Economy algorithm changes to do a multi source tree recusive pass and then compares each tree to find the highest output source for any node , (I.e. every tower always takes from the highest connected source, not the first iterated as before)
For those not aware,, there is indeed also prep working going on to bring ShipShaper ships into Bulwark. yes that is one of the core purposes of ShipsShaper (besides being a cool ship designer in its own right and a proofing ground for big game #3 Ancient waves)

check out (and please leave a review to support if you lke it) Shipshaper here.

View game page
For those unaware, Bulwark and the franchise are solo developed, and mostly a work of passion, I do many experiments in these games, some work, sometimes not, but I always strife to update the games. You can support all of that (beyond buying any of the games, (do get them on sale!)), by following me on steam https://store.steampowered.com/publisher/TomasSala

I realize there are naerly 25.000 people following Bulwark on Steam!!!! I salute you, but that follow only keeps you updated on Bulwark, and not on cool companion apps like ShipShaper.. Follow me for all the goodness and to tell steam that my games have fun and deserve future opportunities (this is how steam works, if you want to do well, you constantly need to provide data that you are doing well already).

so please please lets get my follower count to 5000 !!! and make this franchise futureproof. (its just a silly goal, its ok if you don't wanna follow every gamedev on here)

do let me know if the beta changes are good tho..

Cheerio,

Hi Everyone, A new update is here, called "Repairman" ... well cuz its a very practical update. Lets go through it:

Also, I am working in the background to prepare Bulwark to receive the ships created in ShipShaper, the ship design tool that is both freestanding but will also export to Bulwark. If you wanna support this franchise and solodev, consider wishlisting that or just trrying the free demo.
View game page
'Repairman' Content:
The Repairman:
Gain a repairman commander that can be selected to rebuild and repair all ground turrets near him, its range is dependent on the size of the tower and the cost dependent on the amount of turrets, their damage and so forth. He's got his own gun themed top as well and can be found really early in the game if you're lucky.
New Fortresses
Fortress spawning and behavior has been upgraded, they now spawn later in a war and not from the start and at the end of the war may also blockade trade routes. There are also two new types of smaller fortresses , closer to the sentry tower, while the bigger fortresses again spawn even later when the war has escalated.
More dynamic War behavior
Wars have seen a lot of changes, especially in how the waves behave. You might now see an incoming wave bend of and intercept your own attack, or defend their cities you are attacking.
You will also see the dynamic surface ships that sail around for factions go on the offensive and attack your settlements or rally at one of their own settlements that might get attacked.

There are a variety of smaller changes that should make wars a bit more interesting and diverse, including occasionally seeing a fortress spawn close to your own settlements..
Better walls
I spend some time improving the wall/walkway algorithm, this was very sensitive to the terrain beneath, making it very hard to create a clean castle or city. In the new algorithm it will try to slope more smoothly and avoid small crevacces or peaks, as you can see in the image the outcome may (no guarantees as it still needs to read the terrain) be somewhat more smoother and thus hopefully more interesting to construct with.
Improved Traderoutes
Trade routes now have improved pathing, its not perfect yet, but the super janky weird coast hugging should be greatly reduced and its now allowed to go straight with a new 'line of sight' algorithm. Performance should also be greatly improved, so that most ships now have more detailed /cost intensive settings. It's good to note that routes don't auto-adjust to a changing settlement, so if you build over them, you will still need to demolish the route, so that it can auto-respawn a better version.
Complete changelist:
fixed event GUI hiding during encounters
prevented loading errors from corrupting a save
massively improved the ship traderoute pathfinding..
improved economy performance
naval command ship reveals map|
improved shipping pathfinding
improved load performance
added a gunturret repair commander
enemy fortresses may also spawn on your trade routes as a naval blockade,,
two new smaller fortresses added for variety
as soon as you declare war the random warships( of that faction that sail around) will target your biggest port and come at you.. regular naval attacks will occur
some warships may sail to the settlement under threat by the player if the player hasn't yet conquered anything but is at war
in total conquest more faction diversity in the attacks
units en-route to the player for a war assault, may divert to defend a settlement under attack by the player
pirates and monsters on traderoutes now spawn more often close to your best warship on that route
refugees may spawn later in the game as well
prevents loading of old commander lists
prevents the "fortress message" from happening if there is no fortress
added more health to trading ships
reduced health on patrolling enemy vessels
improved ocean gerstner performance
tradeship try to flee combat
combat ships try to head towards combat

Cheerio, and always report bugs.

Architecture changes
Improved the wall/walkway algorithm with the goal of creating smoother traversals of the wall across jagged terrain, it cannot prevent every jitter, but walls /walkways may look a lot more smooth in this update. A small but meaningful fix.
The Repairman has his own base
And finally some general fixes:
refugees may spawn later in the game as well
prevents loading of old commander lists
prevents the "fortress message" from happening if there is no fortress

So an Update for Bulwark!
Bulwark might have seen less development while I create ShipShaper (which will export to Bulwark), but it hasn't had an update in a while.

So because some issues persisted and I finally found some solutions a new update is in the making. It's not massive, but it contains some new content even and a good amount of improvements
1. Repairman, gain a repairman commander that can be selected to rebuild and repair all ground turrets near him, its range is dependendent on the size of the tower and the cost dependent on the amount of turrets, their damage and so forth. He's gonna get his own top sometime in the next few days while this beta runs

2. fixes to shipping pathing and traderoute, no more janky inefficient routes! See image:
