We are happy to announce that Wesnoth is now able to accept donations on Liberapay . While Wesnoth does rely on the work of dedicated volunteers, no project can function completely cost-free. Revenue from the Apple App Store and from donations goes towards maintaining our servers,...
There have been numerous important forum posts and wiki articles written by users and developers. We reference these pages a lot, and decided to put them together in a convenient list.
Write clearly, be nice to others, and be very careful when posting anything related to politics or religion. When asking for help, remember that everyone here is a volunteer. Prefer editing your previous post over double posting. No animated avatars or graphical signatures. Don’t plagiarize other’s...
This was requested of me on IRC, and I eventually got around to writing it. There are probably a few typos, feel free to note them. Feel free to discuss things you think should be added to the article; this is probably not comprehensive.
Me and my friend GravityI are Game Design students and we are on the last semester to get our degree. For our last assignment, we are required to follow through with any project related to game development that we can think of, so we chose to make an entire game. Therefore, since...
I've been thinking a lot lately about the tools we use to communicate with one another, and something really struck me as problem with our current situation. While minetest has a great forum culture, it doesn't really generalize to other freedom respecting software games with smaller communities,...
Hi, I like strategy games and programming and I am also a member of the Imperialism remake project (obviously there isn't a good name for it yet).
I would like to introduce you to it with a few words:
Imperialism 1 and 2 were turn based strategic games with tactical combat from the late 90s...
I was stumbling around the internet (COVID-19, enough said), and came across this:
Apparently, Wesnoth is only 23/31, by some guy's measure. :?
This article: is part of what kicked off my wandering. I don't know anything about rogue-like games, but some of that reminded me of Legend of Zelda,...
Wesnoth for Löve is a port of Wesnoth to the Löve game engine.
There is no release yet, although I am working towards releasing a not playable Techdemo during the rest of the month.
Löve offers some nice features the current Wesnoth engine can't provide easily.
The particle system might be the...
My name is Julian Schönbächler, I'm a programmer and professional game designer from Switzerland working at Koboldgames , a small Swiss game studio. I am currently doing my Master's degree in Game Design at the University of the Arts in Zurich and I would kindly ask for your help. I hope...
Is there perhaps anyone around here, who knows a thing or two about creating Skyrim mods and its papyrus scripts? My sad experience is that on the nexus modding forums, nowadays only topics concerning textures and graphics are still active, and questions about the Creation Kit and...
I have enjoyed Wesnoth off and on for years now, and I recently got hit with another surge of inspiration. I am very keen to make a video game that is hexagonal, and I've always found Wesnoth artwork to be very desirable. I am just now beginning to learn the basics of game...
Do you think that programmers are inherently better game designers than say artists? writers? music composers? bug reporters?
I know obviously game design is a complex thing and includes level design. Game design also encompasses all of those disciplines (code,art,music, writing etc) and more, but...
I have an obsession with necromancy and liches, and Wesnoth's story has really been the only source of media to scratch my itch. What I plan for is to get a game developed where you become a lich and get revenge on everyone. With my obsessive levels of passion and knowledge, and after acquiring...
I was creating a game store. Some money I gather I will redirect to software vendor, of course. Client is nearly ready. So my question is. Can I add Battle of Wesnoth to my shop? And... How to made Battle of Wesnoth use relative path instead of absolute, so wrapper script could change current...
I am currently playing an add-on campaign, called Campaign: The Ravagers.
All fine, nice story, artwork, and very interesting concepts. The weakness-idea is a nice one; not sure if it works that well,
but it is unique. Anyway, this is not what I want to talk about - instead, two things, more...
Hi everyone! I have just released a new space combat game (for free) on Steam . :D It has been a culmination of a lot of work but has turned out quite well!
If anyone is interested in trying it out that would be very much appreciated and I would love to hear any...
I recently discovered that some changes happened at the least in one very long campaign,
in regards to the user interface handling of items and crafting.
First: this is GOOD. It is now MUCH more convenient to handle items.
There are separate slots for the armours and these are shown as an...
- What can be expected for wesnoth for the future, say, 1-3 years?
I know that a few guys are trying to use/switch to godot, but aside from this I
was wondering what kind of bigger to medium changes may come. I am not
asking for a...
After a long time of not producing anything visible, I have actually made something visible. And playable. Based on an old, unrealisable idea of mine to create an era where players would customise their factions using the factions' global experience from previous battles. It's a standalone...
I proudly present Maji, an abstract strategy board game for two players which has been released in this year. I am the designer and Spieltrieb is my publisher.
In Maji, your task is to build a well consisting of six well parts and at least one water gem before the dry season begins....
this year I met Till Engel, a guy from Bonn, Germany, who invented a Wesnoth inspired board game: Adellos. The name is a German pun: „tadellos“ means “not to complain about” and „Adel“ means “nobles”.
Adellos is a medieval wargame featuring four factions: Royal Army, Rebels, Undead...
Hi all I have been working on this game for a while now using some images and ideas from wesnoth.
It's called:
Aridon - Roguelike RPG adventure
Currently it's a free game on the Google play store, but I would like some feedback as far as playability as well as your thoughts on if it's too hard...
New to posting on the forum, but I've been a big fan of wesnoth for years... apologies if I haven't posted this in the right place!
Contrary to some opinions I've seen on the forum :lol: I think the singleplayer AI of wesnoth is pretty darn fit for purpose, and I would love to get in...
I was just going to make a quick thread about some of my concerns. My friends and family get together sometimes and play a multi-player game of 8 people. We quickly noticed a few issues that stood out the most:
1. When you select a unit (left click) and then try to...
We've got a cool and characterful card & dice game that we're trying to rally interest around with a mind to one day crowdfund. It's called Interdimensional Nutters and is a stand alone game in the vein of Star Wars Destiny, Magic The Gathering. We've been play testing for a fair while now. The...
I'm playing Supertuxkart, since you can create and publish gokart for
then use them in the game I wanted to do the Wesnoth go kart, since there is a go kart for everything, (go kart blender, go kart gimp, go kart Firefox etc.) if you want to contribute, post your designs of Go Kart themed Wesnoth...
