Official Letter from the Mandate Order Team

[h3]Dear Friends Who Care About Mandate Order:[/h3][p]Reading this letter, I hope you can feel our sincerity as if we were talking face to face.[/p][p][/p][p]By the time you read these words, the beacon of war we have guarded together is now visible to the world on the Steam Next Fest page.[/p][p]Yes – the free demo of Mandate Order is officially available for download starting today, October 13.[/p][p]Since our last letter and coverage from various media outlets (we are truly grateful for everyone’s attention), we have received a range of feedback: words of care, as well as kind reminders. We read every message carefully and reflected on them deeply. We know some have calculated the costs and returns of a single-player game for us, while others have called our persistence a "gamble." But we want to say: Mandate Order is a "focused commitment" for us. At the end of this commitment lies a simple belief – to create a strategy game that we ourselves are willing to play repeatedly, and one that is worthy of your time and investment.[/p][p][/p][h3]▍So, What Have We Brought?[/h3][p]This demo is a "still immature but wholehearted" version. Here’s what you can experience:[/p]
  • [p]"City-Building" from Scratch: Using a gridless construction system, you can freely layout city walls, workshops, and farmlands based on mountain terrain and landforms.[/p]
  • [p]The "Breath" of a Dynamic World: The rotation of seasons, and changes between sunshine, rain, wind, and snow – these are not just for visual appeal. They also affect the abundance of grain reserves, the morale of your army, and the progress of your campaigns.[/p]
  • [p]The "Ease" of Line-Drawing Tactics: We have tried to strike a balance between strategic depth and operational complexity. With simple line-drawing, you can command your troops to encircle enemies, hold positions, or charge forward – allowing you to focus more on the battlefield itself.[/p]
[p]We know the Mandate Order demo is not perfect. Its content is limited, tutorials are still being refined, and some systems have not yet been fully implemented. But we cannot wait for a "perfect moment." We firmly believe: The true strength of a city lies in growing together with those who defend it. We look forward to your most genuine and objective feedback.[/p][p][/p][h3]▍What We Need Is Your Experience[/h3][p]We don’t care about labels, nor do we fear criticism.[/p][p]We sincerely invite you to step into this city yourself: Whether it’s feedback like "the logistics system here is a bit overwhelming" or "the setting of scholars from the Hundred Schools of Thought kept me immersed" – every piece of your genuine feedback is the only measure of all this.[/p][p][/p][h3]▍Join Us, and Together Ignite the Next Beacon of War[/h3][p]Mandate Order is not a grand epic, but it is sincere.[/p][p]If you also agree with the following:[/p]
  • [p]Strategy games should not only feature "conquest by massive armies" but also allow for "the perseverance of small states";[/p]
  • [p]Oriental-themed games should embody our own "war philosophy" and "survival logic";[/p]
  • [p]The growth of a game can be shaped jointly by developers and players...[/p]
[p]We sincerely look forward to your participation.[/p]
