- The Warhorn - Devlog #5 - 22 December 2022
Multiplayer and stability in experimental version After the stress test from 5 November and another round of internal network tests we needed to fix some stuff and now we have good resultats-basic foundations of UE5 multiplayer are working as intended. No desync problems, random lags or weird crashes. Also we have potentially fixed some niche problems with some hardware and software configurations so UE5 will be more stable than UE4. Return of the Bag In the UE5 version the inventory system is partially rewritten from a technical standpoint and we are getting much better results. Overall, the inventory system will run smoothly and be slightly less janky. New standard for the largest stack will be 120 units in one inventory slot and the smallest one will be possibly somewhere around 15-30. Tools and weapons will not be stackable but overall they will last longer than in the UE4 version s…
- Play the experimental version now! - 5 November 2022
Hello adventurers! We are pleased to announce that the experimental version is now available in the steam beta system! You can play the new version if you have The Warhorn game on your account. Feel free to play and try the game on the new Unreal Engine 5. Let us know your impressions of the beta version of the game. Before you play Remember that the experimental version is still work in progress, doesn’t have many of the main mechanics - the mechanics in the experimental version have been heavily reduced. The visual part of the game is also not the final result - it has many bugs and glitches, which are constantly corrected and optimized. If you get stuck somewhere, use /spawn command in the chat (Y key) to teleport to the starting village. Why is there a new version? We want you to see with us how The Warhorn world is created and how it changes for the better with your help. The exper…
- The Warhorn - experimental version is coming! - 27 October 2022
https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/660920/view/3405311447044190135 After many weeks of work, unhealthy amounts of energy drinks and serious exposure to UE5 we can now announce the Experimental Version of UE5 update. Experimental Version will be stripped from most of Warhorn’s game mechanics-everything is work in progress and we are working on the re-implantation of core mechanics but the first alpha test will be focused on network code and graphic optimization. New engine, new challenges Games in early access can be janky, poorly optimized or even not work at all. Well, even some AAA games can crash at specific conditions…so we decided that giving a possibility to test graphical settings and other aspects of experimental build to players would be a good idea. Yes, you don’t need to wait for the full beta release to check if the UE5 version will work on your PC! Multiplayer not from…

- The Warhorn - Devlog #3 - 7 August 2022
Hi Everyone and welcome to our third devlog! Today we have a few topics to discuss. But before we start, there’s someone who wants to tell you something: „Imagine a world. Place which belong to the people. This piece of land was granted to them by the gods, so they could work hard and earn their place in the afterlife. Think about the desert, traveled by nomad clans. Picture the highest mountains, which could almost touch the sky. Fields so lush that they looked like rough seas. May the picture of children, women and man, working together, performing their duties by the divinity's will and with methods, shared from father to son, burn into your mind. It all perished. Monsters flooded our world. Beasts hide somewhere in our woods, and forgotten by the deities races, live in our villages. In one night, our past, present, and future ceased to exist. We angered our gods, and they, in return…
