\n\nThis day is finally here! Warnament v1.0 is available on Steam in its full glory - with achievements, cloud saves, soundtrack, art pack, cosmetic items, and other grown-up stuff! It\'s time for you to get this game from your wishlist to your library:\n\nhttps://store.steampowered.com/app/1201700/Warnament\n\nAs for us, we\'ll take a minute to get nostalgic. Developing Warnament was quite a story!\n\nWarnament began with Denis Makhortov, a college student who got desperate, waiting for the sequel to his favorite game to come out. So, he started making a game of his own, and he took the fanbase of his high school game, Cold Path , along with him.\n\nAt Luden.io, we never questioned Denis\'s vision: our role was to provide help with non-technical things, like art & marketing. So at its core, Warnament is still a one-man game. (One man - and his community of over 13000 players , one might add)\n\nAfter 3+ years in development, the game has changed a lot. Join us on a little journey through Warnament\'s history of evolution.\n\n

2022

\n\nThis is how it started! Yes, we used to play this:\n\n\n\n\n\n

2023

\n\nThe first trailer! Check out those primitive maps and clunky interface (along with touching amateur voiceover):\n\n\n\nThe first Steam art:\n\n\n\nThe screenshots:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

2024

\n\nIn late \'24 we released our first professionally made trailer, inspired by the ironic doumentary series How to Become a Tyrant:\n\n\n\nA more professional approach required more professional art. Hence this gentleman, codenamed The Grumpy Dude:\n\n\n\nThat year, we spent a lot of time working on the UI/UX part of the game (while continuosly adding new content), and made the map look more realistic by adding borders to provinces:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

2025

\n\nThis year, perhaps the most notable change is the new map look. It changed so drastically, that we had to re-shoot our trailer from last year, so it would reflect the current look of the game:\n\n\n\nAt some point, we decided that it was time for honorable resignation of The Grumpy Dude. We wanted a more strategic looking art. That\'s how The Evil Grandpas appeared:\n\n\n\nAs for the game\'s looks as of today, we can\'t believe that this game grew from that janky prototype from 3 years ago:\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSome of the maps from above were suggested by our community! Warnament is truly a people\'s game, and we couldn\'t be more grateful to you, the players, for sharing this exciting ride with us. It\'s just the beginning: there will be free updates, there will be more multiplayer sessions, and heated discussions on our Discord server. Happy Warnament! Until we meet again.\n\n
