Hello everyone!

Now that you all know what is coming up next post release (you should check the roadmap) we’ll bring back our useful tool, that served us so well in the Early Access. The test branch. No secret things that should remain hidden to create some tension. At least for a while. The big PLUS: it gets us a ton of feedback from you!

Let us dive in directly:

[h3]How to join the public staging?[/h3]
Some of you probably have not done this before, so we have a small guide:

Prerequisite:
You must have Medieval Dynasty in your library – obviously.

The procedure

• Open your game library.
  
• Right Click on Medieval Dynasty there.
  
  
  
  
• Open properties.
  
  
  
  
• Select the tab "BETAS".*
  
• Enter this password below the dropdown in the field:
  MedievalStaging

• Press CHECK CODE
  
• Use the drop down and select “release_build_staging”. This is the public stage.

Steam should now download this version of the game.

IMPORTANT! PLEASE SAVE YOUR LIVE VERSION SAVES GAME BEFORE ACCESSING THE PUBLIC STAGING BUILD!

Just in case something goes awry!

Saves can be found here:

AppData > Local > Medieval_Dynasty > Saved > SaveGames

*Steam labels all those builds as "betas” albeit they’re not betas, so do not be too confused!

Having put the finishing touches on the fourth building in my little village-to-be, I realise I need to go out hunting to get more food for the few denizens that dwell within it. It's my job to look after them, after all, and that means building shelter and services, but also going out to hunt some bison or deer for meat. I feel pretty confident as I head out… but end up dying to a boar taking a bite out of my ankle...

Hello everyone!

We hope you enjoy playing our game right now?! Very good!

Since the game started in the Early Access everything that was planned and even things that were not planned (thank you, dear community) found their way into Medieval Dynasty. So far, so good.
We bring you some news. These news will be quick and painless. Here is the roadmap for the things beyond the scope, the things you did not expect, the surprise! 😉

We know that a lot of people suffer from motion sickness and 1st person view settings do not always ease it. Thus, we plan to add Third Person View to lift off the burden of the sickness and have the players enjoy the game from a different angle (sorry, pun).

Next up is a wider array of decorations for housing or even the village. Only a cozy village is a place that is worth living in, so it needs more variety to create the coziness.

Some people mentioned the windmill in the last weeks, we’ll try to import this high-tech building into the game, along with a few more animal species you can adopt to your village or maybe hunt. We have some ideas there.

Next in line we have the heir which we will add more in-depth interaction with, likely special quests and more discussions. Maybe your son will be extremely investigative, who knows?!

Then we have something our console players might become very excited about: Medieval Dynasty is meeting a few consoles. Which ones? You’ll hear about it once we have arranged a date.

Last but not least: armors, crests and shields. And more.



You carried us this far from the start of the Early Access, till now, the Full Release. Now we will pick up the torch and carry the game even further from where we imagined it to be! Will you follow us? Is it time to get even more excited?!

As always, we’re eager to read some feedback from you.
