Hello everyone and welcome to a development blog that's meant to showcase the full scope of our most ambitious mod yet. That's right, this post is about Vanilla RimJob World Expanded... I mean, Vanilla Psycasts Expanded.

What you're about to see is the final content of the mod, with final stats that won't be changed anymore, at least not if we can help it.

There was a lot of shuffling around and drafting the road ahead - we had to cut away some paths as there is simply too much work for them to be included in the initial release. Each Psycasting path is dozens of hours of work, if not more. It's the initial ability design, art and effects, initial coding, bug fixing, balancing pass etc etc.

To avoid feature creep, we had to make some cuts, so you won't get 200 new Psycasts for launch. We do plan to eventually add the 5 paths that didn't make the cut for the release, don't worry. 

I can confirm that enemies from the Tribes and the Empire can arrive with Psycasters and will actually use the abilities against you! It's a great opportunity to capture some sweet psycasters to recruit / consume via the drain psyessence.

I can also confirm that we are adding a brand new storyteller, Basilicus Bestower, who unlocks the psylink chance for every single pawn. If you liked getting raided by dozens of wizards from RimWorld of Magic, this will have a similar effect! Of course, everything is adjustable with the sexiest of all sliders!

Without further a-do, let's take a look at the infographics. If you're not interested in them, scroll to the bottom, there's a bit more that I'd like to share.


That's potentially the longest infographic we've done so far. Exciting.

So yeah, I have some exciting news. I bought myself a new vacuum cleaner, cordless one. Pretty sweet, I no longer get tangled in the cables.

On another note, the Lorebook is on track to be entering final editing and prototyping this month. I have just commissioned artworks worth a lot of money for the final few pages, and then it's just the matter of assembling it in Adobe InDesign fully. We are closing in on 200 pages, and I envision it will release next month.

As I previously said: I can't sell the physical copy. I will not offer the book for sale - I will however provide you with the necessary files and the website if you want. If you'd be interested however in me sorting it out for you, I might be able to print a few more and send them over to yous, in hardback cover, provided you pay for printing and shipping. This is not a sale, you won't get a receipt from me, I only offer to sort out the printing for you. Anyway, this is probably something we will sort in Direct messages when the book is ready.

Oh, I'm also going to meet Sarg in September. I know, exciting stuff, right? Crossover of the century. 

See you later!

I can't wait to release because i'm too starting a new save and wanna make a cult of the sacred flame with those amazing psycasts, Wish we knew the release date tho xD. But i know that perfection can't be rushed.

I wish we knew the date as well… ah well, gonna be cool when it comes out. Gonna do a wizard Rome in the desert

Ayyy I wish I knew the date as well. Truth is, erdelf is still working on the storyteller which hopefully will be done tomorrow. Then, day after we will release a final beta version to see if any major mods break our mod. If that all works fine, we can release straight away. So yeah, the soonest we can release it is this weekend.

Oh I'm jonesing for this bromigo. I think I've been checking your workshop page at least 3 times a day for the last week and a half. Looking forward to seeing Mr Streamer try it out on his Pharaoh run too. It's gonna be lit.

Is mr samuel streamer wanna use this mod in the pharaoh series he will need to restart because mods that changes psycast (Wich mr samuel streamer has a lot in the pharaoh serie) will be incompatible so yeah, i think jerry won't use psycast expanded.

I know he's got some computer tech background and is comfortable jumping into mod and game files to try and fix things, and he mentioned in the comments in one of his videos after I brought it up that he was going to try and use this mod. I have faith he can figure it out. He's also been chatting with Oskar about it so he's been preparing. I find it likely. Hyped.

Then my hype has jump thru the roof because i wanna see jerry use those awesome psycasts xD

It is the 41st Millennium. For more than a hundred centuries we have sat immobile on the Golden Throne of Earth. Waiting for the arrival of Vanilla expanded psycasts...

Can't be the only one that checks this page at least twice a day hoping it has been released

You aren’t! This has quickly become an obsession for me as well. Help us Oskar! Release us from your torment!

Well he said that he will release beta version to check if this break any major mods and release it immediately if not - so I am assuming something gone wrong, but this is not much surprise, as this is pretty advanced mod. Let's not hurry him - I know it's pretty difficult as everybody wants it but it might be beneficial to wait and get as stable version as possible (against current trends) :) Good luck Oskar, if you read this.

We have fixed 64 different bugs since we released the final beta. We're ALMOST there. It's stable, we just want to catch any remaining bugs. Few days tops.

Yeah been checking the page daily for weeks now.. :) .. but I also prefer to wait a bit longer for a mostly bug free release so take your time.

Thanks for the updates Oskar.
