In-game event12 Sep 2026Trading ImprovementsWarlords, After yesterday's patch, I still felt like something was missing from my original design intent with this game. Way too many players seemed to be ignoring the option to trade with monk factions. I finally realized that this was not because they didn't find it interesting or useful, but because they simply had no idea you could do it! Beta testers were told ahead of time that it was po…
Patch vR102 · Added follower counts and icons to promote buttons · Added discovered settlement and POI types to progress panel, a couple POIs are not included as they are easter eggs · Changed how the unlock panel looks so now most items will be greyed out instead of hidden completely · Changed how the camp and army inventory looks so items are greyed out instead of hidden completely
vR101 · Moved the player closer to nearby homestead, to keep the tutorial focused · Added a note in the tutorial for the player to confirm they are attacking the correct nearby homestead · Lowered the tutorial nearby homestead distance check to 70 meters so the player must get closer to trigger it · Increased starting resources slightly to compensate for players overbuilding in the tutorial · R…
Warlords, The battle for Awaji is about to begin. Get a first look at Warlord: Awaji's gameplay in this new trailer! To highlight the announcement at the end of the video, Warlord: Awaji is releasing on Steam on September 9th! I am very excited to share this new adventure I have been crafting with you all. As many of you know, I take no donations, have no investors, do not work with a publisher…
Warlords, Thank you for your patience. I am proud to announce that Warlord: Awaji's first new trailer in over a year, a World Teaser is now available!

And as announced at the end of the video, get excited for the Main Trailer, coming August 19th! More to come very soon. Thank you all for t…
Warlords, I hope you all have been having a fun summer. I sure enjoyed the 4th of July, and I survived it with all of my fingers intact (can't risk Awaji's release at this point). It is hard to believe we haven't had a dev log since March. So much has been finished and the game is truly in the final stage of development. A discord user started keeping track of the days spent "waiting for Warlor…
Warlords, Greetings. I hope everyone had a relaxing holiday season and a good start to the new year. For this development log I decided to skip the last two-month cycle so I could include more interesting information as I began to implement the campaign features in earnest. Instead of the typical paragraph text block, this time I am trying to create a more satisfying article with headers and im…
Warlords, As usual, thank you all very much for your patience. I know I was supposed to deliver a news post in October (2 months after the last), but as suspected, end-of-the-year business crept in on me, and now here we are midway through December. In the last post I touched on some changes and improvements coming to the open world mechanics of Warlord: Awaji . Today I would like to share some…
Warlords, A few days ago ...just as I was heading out on a backpacking trip over the weekend... Unity announced that there has been a lingering security vulnerability in engine versions 2017 and later. They claim that there is no evidence to suggest any users or developers have been negatively impacted by this issue (afterall, the vulnerability it has been present since 2017), but have urged de…
Warlords, Thank you all for your patience. I wanted to provide a brief update regarding Warlord: Awaji's development. I plan on releasing some news like this once every 2 months, so everyone knows I am still alive and kicking. I would love to provide a dev log in a more entertaining and digestible format, like a video, but I am a game developer first and foremost, not a content creator, so plea…
Warlords, First off, thank you all for your extreme patience. I try my best to reduce the wait between announcements, but this time was a special case. Shortly following the release of the demo last fall, I traveled throughout Japan for almost 3 months over the holidays. It was an enlightening trip, and I was even able to visit the eponymous (and mysterious) island of Awaji! I will share more a…
Warlords, Steam Next Fest has officially begun. To kick off this event, I have prepared a final update for the Warlord: Awaji’s Demo! As of now the Playtest is deactivated. If you were using the Playtest app, please switch to the Demo, your data will automatically carry over! To make the new-user experience even more smooth, I have added unit highlights to help distinguish friend from foe. The…
Warlords, Thank you all for jumping right into the playtest and sending me helpful feedback. I have been very happy with the reception of the new combat mechanics and graphics. I hope everyone has enjoyed the quantum-leap from Warlord: Britannia, and is excited for more info regarding the campaign. Over the past week I have been updating the Playtest and Demo builds frequently with small hot-fi…
