Kingdom-Crier #14: Winners, Wedding Decor, and Growable Grass!

Welcome to Kingdom-Crier #14!


We're excited to announce the winners of the Noble Fates Mod Contest #2.

Without further ado....

[h2]1st Place[/h2]
KArtistry by Karma Drak Karma is unstoppable. Just when they thought they might have ran out of ideas, they put this mod together with the largest breadth of content to date!

Insane.

[h2]2nd Place[/h2]
Initial Nobles by MrPurple6411 MrPurple stood up a multitude of deep, code based mods that will form the basis of a bright future for Modding Nobles Fates.

The one that stands out to us, however, is Initial Nobles. It started out as a way to bypass portions of the intro, but it's growing into a starting scenario editor!

It's very much a work in progress, but tackling the biggest Community ask is more than enough to earn this one a spot on the list and our gratitude!

[h2]3rd Place[/h2]
Stone Church Windows by dpahfl What this mod lacks in breadth, it more than makes up for in charm.

Dpahfl is one of the most active Noble Fates players and much like Karma, their dip into the world of modding appears to have come out of a desire to better express themselves in-game.

Not only did dpahfl release these charming Windows, but they put them to use in a series of Screenshots that really capture the essence of the Love & Elves Update and nearly placed in the Screenshot contest themselves!

Congrats everyone!

Great entries, here are the winners:

[h2]1st Place[/h2]
Sphere City by TheSaucyFleet TheSaucyFleet did it again! This time with an epic feat of architecture and ingenuity that puts the vertical levels to use!

Bonus behind the scenes shots... So many resources!

[h2]2nd Place[/h2]
Village by cypr` A prominent player, cypr` is often pushing the bounds of what can be done with Noble Fates.

They've built a number of the largest Kingdoms we've seen, producing inspiring shots that capture our attention with the fine detailing.

[h2]3rd Place[/h2]Winter by Finnley Winter is too cool to let this one go by. Fantastic Kingdom and shot by Finnley!

Congrats to the winners, and thanks to everyone who participated!


With this contest, we introduced the concept a Weekly Screenshot Theme over on the Noble Fates Discord to inspire people to capture something new. Though the contest is over, the themes will continue!

Last week saw the release of Content Update #13, which included...

[h2]Wedding Decorations![/h2] Decorate your Wedding Chapel in style with a variety of new indoor/outdoor decorations or put them to use to decorate that new starter home for your lovebirds!

[h2]Growable Grass![/h2] Leverage Grass Seeds to plant your own Grass, place it in a pasture to keep your animal friends fed!

There have been a few key changes since the last Crier that were focused on Character visuals - here are the highlights:

We improved the placement of Human facial Features!
We resolve rendering artifacts across all of the races!
We scaled down the mouth flap from speaking to prevent otherworldly faces!

Feature Update #4 is well underway, though members of the team have been cycling through vacations to recharge our batteries and catch up on some much needed rest and relaxation.

We're very excited about what's coming next and we think it's going to change up how everyone plays a fair bit! Stay tuned for more details!
