Greetings fellow gods,
It's a time of great joy across the worlds of Soulash with the addition of the festival-type events. Every once in a while, towns set up temporary areas with vendors offering some interesting goods.
Here's the full changelog:
Added
- New settlement type events: Festival.
- Added skill level achievements to beings history events in the Knowledge Screen.
- Added mentions of the killings of prominent figures in battles to be historical events.
Changed
- Ability cast time now shows the actual value for abilities that scale with weapon speed.
- All ability cast times are now color-coded. Red for abilities taking more than a turn, and green for abilities that take less than a turn.
- The Divine Knuckles passive trigger will no longer grant Divine Fists XP.
- Replaced character preset save/load icons.
- Damage Reduction of 100% is now resolved during the immunity pass of a hit instead of the damage pass, so minimum damage mechanics will no longer affect it.
- Minor changes to golems: they now hit harder without gear and have higher base Willpower to help with non-physical resistances.
- Updated multiple non-weapon golem items: removed non-functional damage bonuses, and most now provide either new abilities or stat boosts.
- Added the missing alive tag to many races that previously lacked it.
- Usable non-stackable items like goatskin now inherit some used resource statistics, like weight change.
- Dune Throwers now train Stormthrowing.
- Multitool now includes Tailoring Tool.

- Crafting items gated by thievery levels now correctly grants thievery exp.
- When cancelling movement on world map (by left-clicking, then right-clicking) the camera will no longer move to a bottom-left corner.
- Fixed default action for companions when they target a collidable entity (like a stone wall or a tree), so they will no longer bump and stop the ordered actions.
- Fixed golems having incorrect 0.2 attack speed when equipped with Desecrated Torso Armor.
- Fixed Gloomy Village generating wrong buildings.
Modding
- The Procedural Maps screen now sorts special location select options alphabetically.
The work towards v0.10 continues on with the next step being the introduction of world events that can affect special locations.
There's one more thing I can share that should make those of you who like dabbling with modding very happy. I've managed to create a proof of concept for Lua scripting, successfully hooking it into my ECS, renderer, GOAP, and world simulators for extensions, meaning we'll be able to greatly expand modding capabilities to allow developing new mechanics, NPC behaviors, history simulations, or changing existing ones, so you can truly tweak the experience however you like. I'll share more info in the coming weeks.
Have fun,
Artur
