Soulash 2

Honestly, I am not really a big fan of the maximum potential mechanic. 

It will essentially limit your combat capabilities if you want to take sidegig like weapon smithing or tailoring.

For example, a 2H macefighter needs Mace (duh), Athletics (escaping bad fights and survuvability), and Leadership (to get an army). As far as I know, you will only be able to max out 4 skills. Add Adventuring, which I think is mandatory for every character, and there is no room anymore for any sidejobs.

I understand what you were going for in that you wanted to limit the player into a "class" they can build instead of just a master of everything, but in practice it just feels limiting.

Purchased on steam - is it possible to get access to the itch download, or would I have to buy it here, too?

game looks good and updates very often is there a time you think it best to come back and buy when its fully polished?

The game is supposed to come with the Steam key? I can't find mine

Could do with any kind of tutorial or introduction to the game. My first experience with Soulash:
-Make a dwarf
-Join a family with a mine
-Go into the family's mine, mine a gemstone
-Get murdered by family head for the crime of working in the family mine

Great game, my friends seem to be obsessed with it, they play every day, you took my friends away from me, dear developer :)

Hi, just want to give small input. Rather than use Panther as one of your Rasimi subspecies you can use Jaguar. Because Panther is a blanket term for all big cats (i.e lion is panthera leo, tiger is panthera tigris, etc). You can still use the artworks because many jaguars are born with melanism that makes their coat all black. So you still can differentiate between leopard and jaguar but have a more accurate subspecies of Rasimis. And maybe you can add snow leopard too as the last member of panthera. Thanks. Great game, I will watching your proggression.

After an hour or two of the demo, this is a nice improvement from Soulash 1. The non-murderhobo mechanics so far are enough to feel like you're in something of a world rather than a mindless death land, while not being turnoff complicated like I kinda expected them to be. I also like that you actually have to get money through trading rather than having enemies just drop it when you kill them. Not enough of a connoisseur to pinpoint what changed, but even the basic combat feels nicer than in the first game. Probably helps that you can start with multiple skills, and the new leveling system is a lot smoother than the original one. I did like the feeling in Soulash 1 when you're wandering the world one step at a time, eating rations and finding random caves to sleep in, and you don't really get that feeling of traveling here given the world map, but this game seems more focused on worldly affairs than exploration anyway.

I bought the game on Steam and specially registered here to thank you for such an interesting game! I really hope that you will develop the game for a long time and actively.

Hey! This game is dope! I write a blog about indie games and would love to interview you!

Would a linux native port be possible? Thanks. :)

Rhymes with "goulash."

Game looks nice! I will give it a try. Any plans to replace the portraits circles with character models? Thanks!

Looks like an awesome game! I'll definitely pick it up on Steam when I get home.

I noticed from streamers playing that you can choose to be an orphan or a part of a family, as well as aging mechanics. Are there any plans to implement marriage/inheritance mechanics as well?

It would be really neat to have an archery skill in the game, are you planning to add it later to the game? More magic maybe on top of the pyromancy one?

edit: there are bows in the game it seems, i just cannot choose any relevant skills when creating my character it seems, my bad :)

Edit 2: maybe carpentry is the skill i was looking for. 

Great game so far!

I like it but the ecconomy is all out of wack... a town that has 20000 ruby's on one side of the contenent should not be buying them at the same price that a town all the way on the other side of the map that has no gems of any kind

I tried out the demo, VERY fun!

too much fun in fact, I played it late into the night ^^"
First of all, it ran stable, so no problems there.

Things I noticed:
Some skills are really hard to get into(reach level1). As soon as you reach it however then you can more effectively level it, and that is very satisfying.
The weaponsmith tree looked a bit underwhelming iirc. Maybe there could be several unlocks with levels, because even further in it didn't seem too great, but I could be wrong. 
Same goes for tailoring which I haven't tried out much. I guess I will with the next playthrough. but unlocking those crafting skills is rly difficult since you can only gain xp by salvaging^^".
Mining = $$$ :D
the ordering system is great! you can order stuff that you cannot make yourself, which is vital for tools and such for example!!
I am hesitant to say this, but I wonder if crafting the same item should have diminishing turns in terms of xp/ or the higher level you are in crafting the less you profit from low level crafts = you are level 1 you gain 100% xp from crafting for example firewood, if you are level 5 in carpenting  you only gain 40% from that, and on level 8 you only get 5% or smth like that. It feels weird to become a master carpenter by only making firewood xD
But I guess that is different for craft trees, for example for armor smithing it is more difficult to get enough ore to produce bars to enable crafting.

I really like the current gameplay loop, since at the start you have almost nothing, and eventually you get more money, order tools to enable skinning or chopping wood etc, and then eventually becoming really strong :D

Looking forward to more updates and when the game releases, great work!

btw SplatterCat mentioned your game in

it's fantastic!
