Going Medieval News

Release Date Announcement

[p]Greetings, medievalists![/p][p][/p][p]We are finally here, we’re so close! You might have seen the latest IGN Fan Fest trailer, but in case you didn’t, here is a standalone version of the trailer:[/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p]That’s right: Going Medieval has a 1.0 launch date! We are so excited to share that it’s launching on March 12th 17th 2026! After 16 major updates, numerous patches, 75 Medieval Monday Talks and over 1 million wishlists we feel that Going Medieval is in a great spot. Version 1.0 will bring a proper endgame, wonderful improvements, new content, and a lot of achievements - but more on that in the official blog with the release.[/p][p][/p][p]Have you been waiting for 1.0 to try the game? We have a fresh demo that adequately portrays the first few hours of Going Medieval experience. While you’ll be able to experience core mechanics, the demo itself will play until the end of spring. Try the game and let us know what you think - it’s always interesting when a fresh pair of eyes plays the game:[/p][p] [/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p]Reaching 1.0 is a huge milestone for the game, but it does not mark the end of development for Going Medieval. On the contrary - we have so many things we want to do, quality-of-life improvements we want to implement, and even some features you’ve been very vocal about. We’ll talk more about those in the coming months.[/p][p][/p][p]And yes, we have a little gift for everyone who supported us during Early Access and picked up the game during this time. Once version 1.0 goes live, you’ll unlock the ability to build a Fox statue. Does it do anything useful? Not at all. Is it majestic? Also debatable. But it is a shiny thank-you from us to you - a symbol of appreciation showing you were here from the early days. Thank you for believing in us![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]If you have a favorite content creator, let them know about the game’s release date. Are they on Twitch? Great news! We’re also incorporating Twitch integration into the game, with cool player-audience interactions, nifty options, and sweet Twitch Drop rewards for watching people play Going Medieval.. We’ll share all the necessary information when the time is right. Until then,[/p][p][/p][p]Stay medieval![/p][p][/p][p]Foxy Voxel [/p][p][/p][p]Discord Reddit X/Twitter Bluesky TikTok Facebook[/p]

[p]DISCLAIMERS: [/p][p]⚠️ We decided to keep Dev version of the game on the experimental branch, and that means that a Dev log with red text will appear from time to time. This will help us get more info from your side when crashes and bug reports occur.[/p][p]⚠️ Also, at the moment, the experimental and the main branch are different. You should not play saves from the experimental branch on the main one as it can cause various bugs - please avoid doing this.[/p][p][/p][p]As always, use F10 and/or the experimental bug subforum for reporting experimental issues. If you want more dynamic/direct communication - head over to our Discord server. Even though we might not reply, we are reading everything. Thank you![/p][p][/p][p]Foxy Voxel[/p]

Experimental Branch Patch (0.28.32)

You should be able to load normally and continue playing. If you have any problems, please let us know. [/p][p][/p][h2]Twitch Integration[/h2][p]Twitch integration was always something that sounded pretty cool in our heads. We finally managed to find time to work on it and thought of some cool moments, usage and rewards tied to it.
[/p][p]For this to work, you'll have to connect with your Twitch account (via Options > Twitch) and invite friends to participate in your gameplay. All features are toggleable and you can decide which one suits you best. Default settings are for small streamers, up to 20 people watching. With more viewers, try increasing cooldowns.[/p][p][/p][p]The commands viewers are able to type in the chat:[/p]

[p]!appear, will spawn a random small animal of random type with a name of a twitch user, has global cooldown of ~30 seconds[/p]
[p]!gift, items dropped on the edge of the map by “mysterious individual” with a name of a twitch user, gift value scales with total settlement worth, has global cooldown of ~10 min[/p]
[p]!name, will add you to a pool of names, each living creature gets assigned a name from the list[/p]
[p]!strike, spawns a random lightning strike on the map, has a global cooldown of ~5 min[/p]

[p]This is still work in progress and we’ll update you once more things are introduced.[/p][p][/p][h2]Quality of life improvements[/h2]
