Voor De Kroon News

Hello Everyone,

I hope everyone is still enjoying the game!

Today I want to share the updated roadmap.

The roadmap provides a global outline of what you can expect of the remaining early access period.
Spoilers: a bucket load of polish and more content. Currently I am still working with an animator to improve the combat and ranged animations, I hope to share something from that soon and get the ball rolling again on the bigger updates.

If you feel like I am still missing essential things, feel free to let me know in the comments! I take every bit of feedback in consideration.


Thanks for all the support and stay tuned for more updates!

Hello everyone,

I am thrilled to announce the release of my latest game update, which not only brings a host of enhancements and fixes but also introduces an exciting new feature that I've been working on for a while: the Campaign Editor. This powerful tool is designed to unleash your creativity, allowing you to craft the medieval campaigns of your dreams. I will upload a guide soon detailing the basics of using the campaign editor and sharing your campaign.



The main features of this update are:

• Campaign Editor: Now you can create your own custom campaigns!
  
• Steam Workshop Support: Share your custom campaigns easily with others via the Steam Workshop.
  
• Workshop File Updates: Update existing files directly, making it simpler to improve your campaigns based on feedback or new ideas.
  
• Skin Color Support: All units now have skin color customization options.
  
• New Landscapes: Fight across desert valleys, gravel deserts, and mountainous terrains.
  
• Unit Size Variation: All recruited units will now have a slightly different amount of units, making the battles feel more realistic.
  
• UI Improvements: Increased visibility for various battle UI elements and added army size numbers at the start of battles.
  
• Settlement Interface Enhancements: New details about total garrison size and ready garrison size now included.
  

I've also made several fixes and improvements across the board to ensure a smoother gameplay experience.

Your feedback has been invaluable, and I am excited to see what you'll create and share with the new Campaign Editor.

Thank you for your continued support!

If you run into any issues/crashes or have suggestions, always feel free to let me know!
