Expansion of the dev team and new progress
13 Feb - Tina


Hi everyone,


We are glad to announce that we have expended our dev team.

Based on the experience we have gained from this year of intensive development, we have learned what is essential for this game and what our studio needs the most to bring this game to its maximum potential. Therefore we feel that it is the time to bring in more people to go much further in development and unlock features which couldn't be done by just 3 people. So far, we have in total 4 programmers and 1 artist working on various modules of the game. And we have been working great with each other.


Recently, we are working on many things at the same time.


-Features such as joining combat of other fighting armies. You can select which side you want to help, and it will affect the relationship with certain factions.



-Improving sound effects: Spatial sound effects. (Distant gunshot and explosion sounds duller)

-Adding guns and scopes and improving old ones. We have added some new weapons such as SVD, TT33 pistol, striker shotgun, AUG...We have also added several scopes such as the PSO scope for the SVD and AS VAL.







-Player's and NPC's outfits will be shown on the world map.



-You can talk to the bartender to get local price information.



We are still aiming to release a playable update at the end of February, and so far everything goes smooth.

Huge update! Version 0.80 is out!
8 Mar - Tina

Hi everyone,

We have finally released version 0.80. So lets sum up the differences between the last build the current one.

1. Improved combat AI: AI units looking for covers and high-grounds, more sneaky and can flank you from all sides. We are still working to make combat more tactical.

2. Improved graphics. More detailed textures, lighting, better detailed environments, etc.

3. Remade all maps to fit the new combat system and graphic style.

4. Remade all squads and soldiers. And redefined their loadouts and stats.

5. More in-depth city management system.

6. Better city siege/defence mechanism: You need to capture flags during siege and defend your flags during defence.

7. Added interactive locations on the map such as villages, bandit camps, mines and etc.

8. Event system that can trigger many game events such as random bandit camps appear on the world map.

9. Deeper diplomacy system that allows AI factions to dynamically wage war on each other, bribe you or ask you for tribute.

10. Ability to join combat.

11. Added new weapons, clothes and items.

12. Remade UI.

13. Improved sound effects.

14. New faction: Valkyrie Female Army.















Many systems are totally new and still need to go through significant amount of tests. And we will keep working on that.

Why less features than before?
15 Mar - Tina


Hello everyone!

Recently we got many questions and complains that version 0.222 had much more features than version 0.8. So I decided to explain more details about what happened.

As you remember, it took us quite a long time to prepare v0.8. It was because we were rewriting most of the systems and almost remade the game from the beginning. We did that for being able to add modding, improve optimization (we didn't work on that yet) and to extend possibilities for future development. The game system is much more integrated now with much cleaner coding so our new programmers can get their hands on the project easier.

Features which will come back for sure: companions, night vision goggles,
camouflage, binoculars, weather, ability to give med-kit to units, melee weapons, different difficulty mods.

Features under consideration: vehicles, gambling, hospital, ability to give boosting items to units.

Features which were canceled: units inventory customization ( so we can improve AI, make different units feel different and for modding, still WIP).

Localization system was one of those which were remade from the most beginning, and we had not enough time yet to polish it or finish translation to other languages, as we were focused on fixing game breaking bugs. We will start to work on it today and will try to finish it ASAP. At the moment only English and Chinese versions are playable.

We are doing our best to make the game better, but it is quite difficult to handle such a massive project as for such a small team, and with so little time. We are hoping for your understanding and patience so that we could make this game better and better.

Soldier customization, AI, Optimization and much more in v0.90
27 Apr @ 7:24pm - Tina   
Hello everyone,

We have just released v0.90. There are a lot of things that we have been working on for this update. A few major things are:

1. Soldier customization

Yes, we have added it back. The reason why we canceled it in the previous updates were because of modding and balancing. But we have found solutions for that, so we gladly added it back. The change is that if you want to hire a soldier with equipment, you will also need to buy their equipment, which is expensive, or you can hire them without equipment. This has a significant impact on the economy of course, but we have also tweaked the economy system to balance everything out. Now you would feel much more like a real guerrilla leader, starting from nothing and struggling to equip each of your guys. When a soldier levels up, they won't level into a new "Class", instead, they will gain attribute points. For example, a Pozna sniper will earn about 1 point in marksmanship and 10 points in rifle efficiency every time he levels up. Looting will be the primary source of getting equipment for your army.



2. World Map AI and Economy

It is still a work in progress. Each faction will have a starting budget, and they will use it to hire troops. AI factions will make money from city taxes and through combat. If a faction lost a city, its economy would be influenced, and it will likely result in a drop of army size. Factions with more cities will have a stronger and stronger economy and may dominate the world. And for the player, it is also true because in the late period of the game the player will need a large amount of finance to sustain a considerable army, which can only be achieved efficiently by owning cities. As for improvements in world map AI. NPC armies will no longer roam randomly. They will guard their cities, patrol near their villages, scout another faction's cities, join combat and etc.



3. Dialog and Diplomacy System.

We have added dialog when you encounter an army on the world map. Diplomacy is also done during the dialog phrase. For example, when you encounter a neutral faction, you may bribe them to increase relationship or ask them to pay the passage fee. Or when you were caught by bandits, you may try to persuade them to let you go.



4. Optimized Saving System.

In the previous versions, saving may take a few minutes, but now it will only take around 0.2 seconds. We are still working to make loading the game faster though.



5. General Optimization.

Optimization in Freeman is a complicated job which requires us to go through each system to pinpoint the issues. So far we have optimized resource loading, squad customization screen, inventory screen, entering combat speed and various world-map related lags. There are still much to be done in this area.



6. Much more accurate auto-combat system.

We have designed a much better auto-combat algorithm that can simulate real in-game combat without actually entering the battle. The result is somewhat 90% close to actual combat. Now you no longer need to worry about unfair auto-resolve.



7. We also put significant effort into modding. In fact, we are already using our own tools to tweak the game rather than doing everything in the game engine. All these tools will be available after the official release.



Here is the Patch Note:

-Reworked some scopes and improved many guns' handling.

-Reworked many UI.



-Recruit troops instead of squads and you can choose to recruit with or without equipment.

-Reworked all troops to adopt the customizable soldier system.

-Balanced missions.

-Balanced the city management system.



-Added dialog.

-Added diplomacy through dialog.

-Improved lighting.

-Greatly improved saving speed.

-Improved world map AI: Patrolling, guarding cities, entering cities to refill soldiers, joining combat...

-Improved world map lagging issues.

-AI armies are taking prisoners during auto combat.

-Improved AI faction's economy system: AI factions gain money through combat and cities and will use the funds to purchase troops.

-Balanced black market items.

-Free world camera.

-Improved the issue of the shaking scope.

-Soldier customization: Customize individual soldier's equipment.

-Added Level-Up-All-Soldiers button.

-Optimization: Resource loading, saving, inventory window, party window, combat loading, world map lagging.

-Added a few hairstyles for both genders.



-Improved auto-combat: Much more accurate auto-combat through simulated combat algorithm.

-Added many new outfits.

-Bug Fix: Player stuck in some buildings.

-Bug Fix: Some scopes are not affected by settings.



And for the next update, we will add companions back.

The rest of the development work
15 May @ 8:46am - Tina



Hi everyone,

The rest of the development work is divided into three significant steps. First of all, we will spend some time to improve the existing features, which include Soldier Customization System, Town System, Event System, Dialogue System, Combat AI, and World Map Faction AI.

At the same time, we will continue to add features that have not yet been added, including the companion system, companion AI as generals, the game ending, character creation, difficulty options, achievement system, and game tutorials. At the same time, balance game, polish and optimize.

Finally, we will organize our modding tools, such as map editor, gun editor, and tools for editing game data, etc. We will also write detailed tutorials on how to properly make and install mods.


The detailed list is as follows.

- Improving the Soldier Customization System (using medical items and equipping special props such as grenades and first aid kits)

- Optimize and balance the city system, add vassal auto-management function and balance public events.

- Optimize the Combat Command System: Add more combat commands and formation.

- Add tactical items such as binoculars.

- Companion System: Companions such as Anna can be recruited in the city or captured through combat. You can put them in your squad as soldiers, or you can let them lead their own army and become generals/vassals of you. Each companion has different attributes of skills, some are suitable to remain in the ranks as snipers, some are suitable for managing towns, and some are suitable for leading their own army. At the same time, we will also add particular dialogue to each NPC. Conversation with companions will be unlocked based on your relationship with them, which can be gained by talking with them or giving them gifts.

- Dialogue System: We will improve the existing dialogue and add more exciting content.

- Campaign Ending: When the player unifies the mainland, the game will come to an end. Player' companions will also have corresponding ending dialogues.

- Game Beginning Background Story: Here the player needs to decide their initial points and equipment through the form of question and answer.

- World Map Faction AI: We will make the AI actions of other faction in the world more rational and purposeful.

- Difficulty Options

- Achievement System: TBD

- Game Tutorials: At present, we intend to add encyclopedias and pop-up UI tutorials to the game.

- Map Editor: To add and modify combat maps.

- Gun Editor: To add and modify guns and accessories.

- Localization: TBD

Upcoming features of Update 0.93
19 May @ 3:59pm - Tina   




Hello everyone,

We are about to finish the development of version 0.93. We have a lot to add to this edition. The main updates are as follows.

1. Companion System

Companions like Anna can be hired from town pubs or captured in battles. We added personality dialogues to each of our companions. Through conversation, you can get interesting information about their background stories, personalities, hobbies, and so on. At the same time, players can improve their friendliness by chatting with them and giving them gifts. Enhanced friendliness can unlock more conversations and interactions - such as love. We added the gift shop, and players need to discover each companion's preferences through dialogue to buy the right gifts. Except for these entertaining interactions, companions are also of great significance to the game-play itself. You can organize them into your own team like soldiers, or you can make them independent from you and let them lead their own army, helping you to attack and defend cities. Each companion has different skills. Some are suitable for combat, some are suitable for leading, and some are suitable for managing towns. These skills include leadership, tactics, financial skills, town management, and so on. Different companions have different requirements for joining, some need a large commission, some requires a high reputation. After the campaign is complete, each companion will also have a corresponding ending.

2. Enhanced world map faction AI

The AI faction forces will do more complex things. For example, to gather troops to attack a city in a group, to reconnoiter the enemy city, to revenge when their cities are taken, and so on.

3. Improved Soldier Customization System

More proficiency attributes have been added, such as grenade launcher, throwing, and armor proficiency. At the same time, the accessory slots are added, which can be used to equip grenade launchers, first-aid kits, night vision goggles and grenades to soldiers.

4. Added several bandit factions

- Desert Bandits: Appear In the desert zone of Cherniv.

- Mountain Bandits: They appear in the southern mountains.

- Pirates: Appear near the coast.

- Cossack Rebels: On the territories of the Free Cossack Army.

- Snow Wolves: Appear in the northern snowland.

5. Added the beginning background selection

Players need to determine their initial attributes, equipment, and troops in the form of questionnaires when starting a new campaign.

6. Improved World Map

We expanded the world map and made clear geographical distinctions. The southern part of Cherniv Island consists of plains, peninsulas, and mountains. The central part is desertification zone. The northwestern part is snowland. And the northeast part is forest and swamp.

7. The game's lore.

Based on the current lore, we have written Cherniv's history, the background stories of various factions, and the corresponding stories of each companion.

Update Version 0.931 - Companions, optimization, AI...
6 Jun @ 10:10am - Tina

Hello everyone,

We have released the official version of 0.931. We have fixed a lot of bugs based on the feedback of the test version, such as the extra large enemy's visual range, one bullet insta kill and so on. we also optimized the behavior of AI soldiers, such as when the squad encounters hostiles, units in the rear will also actively move to the front and engage, or for example when the player gives the move order, the engaging team will try their best to move instead of always lying on the ground. The main updates are as follows.

Freeman: Guerrilla Warfare Update v0.93- Companions, World map AI, 3D combat map




1. Companion System

Companions like Anna can be hired from town pubs or captured in battles. We added personality dialogues to each of our companions. Through dialogue, you can get interesting information about their background stories, personalities, hobbies and so on. At the same time, players can improve their friendliness by chatting with them and giving them gifts. Enhanced friendliness can unlock more conversations and interactions - such as love. We added the gift shop, and players need to discover each companion's preferences through dialogue in order to buy the right gifts. Except for these entertaining interactions, companions are also of great significance to the game-play itself. You can organize them into your own team like soldiers, or you can make them independent from you and let them lead their own army, helping you to attack and defend cities. Each companion has different skills. Some are suitable for combat, some are suitable for leading, and some are suitable for managing towns. These skills include leadership, tactics, financial skills, town management and so on. Different companions have different requirements for joining, some need a large commission, some requires a high reputation. After the campaign is complete, each companion will also have a corresponding ending. The stories are only 20% done, and we will keep working on it.



2. Enhanced world map faction AI

The AI faction forces will do more complex things. For example, to gather troops to attack a city in a group, to reconnoiter the enemy city, to revenge when their cities are taken, and so on.



3. Improved Soldier Customization System

More proficiency attributes have been added, such as grenade launcher, throwing and armor proficiency. At the same time, the accessory slots are added, which can be used to equip grenade launchers, first-aid kits, night vision goggles and grenades to soldiers.

4. Added a number of bandit factions

- Desert Bandits: Appear In the desert zone of Cherniv.

- Mountain Bandits: They appear in the southern mountains.

- Pirates: Appear near the coast.

- Cossack Rebels: On the territories of the Free Cossack Army.

- Snow Wolves: Appear in the northern snowland.
