Welcome dear Lords and Princesses

I can finally call you Lords not knights because the managing of your village is pretty satisfying now. At least in my opinion. I hope you will share it.

Keep in mind this is an additional update based on your feedback not the December fighting update
The december update will not be one big update but a series of smaller ones from today up to the winter break.

Next updates for a long time will be non-destructive that means you can play on this version till 0.8. It will fluently update higher. But we will make sure starting over again makes more and more fun.

To keep on playing with your old village check here the saves update backwards but do not resave it on the new version https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1887020/view/5859804391139192635

Dear Knights and Princesses,

A big update is coming. Lots of improvements and new things based on your feedback from the version 0.57.

I will keep most of it as a surprise (some "leaks" are on our discord)

https://discord.gg/Vy3amSjDfT

But despite the fact that the fighting update is in December. With the next update, there will be caravans, looting, and enemies all over the map. And you will be able to build a city from looted items. So if you don't like crafting, you will be able to just fight your way up.


Your saves should work. But to be 100% sure. Make a separate save file.
And if the next update destroys your save, you will be able to access it as
explained on the pictures beneath.




But there will be so many new things in game that we recommend to start once again. It will give you the possibility to fully experience the new stuff in the correct order.

On an old save it might feel a little bit weird - especially the que.... shhhh surprise..

Ok, that's it for today! Stay tuned. Estimated time for the update, end of this month. But you already know I always fail at dates. So probably around 10th November ;)

Your scribe and developer Sartorian

Sounds issues fixed.

I will write in few days more about what we are working on right now.
But long story short December update + your feedback from this version.

Cheers
