Dear Citizens of the Suzerainverse,

Our team has made significant advancements in touch feedback, specifically in the zoom-in and zoom-out functionalities, along with scrolling and navigation interactions and the selection of dialogue options and UI panel options.

We've also introduced new settings option presets that will help achieve a better experience based on your device. Our efforts to adapt war controls for mobile continue, focusing on making them more intuitive for players. In addition, we're developing new mobile-specific features such as player profiles, achievements, influence, and a log of recent activity. Work on our new backend online infrastructure is underway, which will support these features and more.

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
We've also begun UI and UX work to integrate all these elements, including our new monetization model. This model will offer hybrid methods for accessing the game. We will soon reach out to the mobile volunteer testers who signed up on the survey to begin on-boarding them for the new mobile version testing. If you are interested fill out the survey here.

Hey Suzerain fans,

We're rolling out a new patch, but this time we're trying something different. Before we push the updates live, we're going to release a version for community testing.

Once we've had a chance to gather your feedback and make necessary tweaks, we'll update the live build. Thanks for helping us make Suzerain even better!

PRE-ORDER NOW!

Dear Citizens of the Suzerainverse,

We are thrilled to announce that the pre-order for the Suzerain Vinyl game is now live! Dive deeper into the world of Sordland with our exclusive 2xLP Sordland Red Vinyl edition.

Crafted by the talented James Spence, this soundtrack blends post-rock, ambient, and cinematic music. Designed to enhance the immersive experience of Suzerain, the music echoes the heavy burden and complex emotions of leading a nation.

Our 2xLP Sordland Red Vinyl is a stunning collector's edition that captures the game's atmosphere perfectly. Made with 100% recycled material, this special vinyl is not only an audio treasure but also an eco-friendly choice. Please note that the color may vary, adding a unique touch to each copy.

A Word from the Composer

"For Suzerain, I drew inspiration from post-rock, ambient, and soundtrack music. These genres create a strong sense of place and aesthetic and convey a subtle emotional weight that a bombastic score cannot. As the player takes on the presidency of a nation with a troubled past, I aimed to reflect that heavy burden in the music."


A huge thank you to Serenity Forge for making this project possible! Their dedication and support have been invaluable in bringing this vision to life.

PRE-ORDER NOW!

Don't miss out on owning this special piece of Suzerain. Pre-order your copy today and immerse yourself in the captivating soundscapes of the game.

Stay tuned for more updates, and thank you for your continued support!

Glovurius axa Rizia!
