Vertical Kingdom News

Hi! I apologize for the long silence. I was working hard on Vertical Kingdom. And you know, I'm very bad at marketing, so thank you for staying here.



Right now I'm finishing the Sandbox mode and the Dynamic Building. I hope to show you a video of how the dynamic building works in the game soon. The idea is that you can build vertically and horizontally on certain buildings, and the building will change in appearance, giving the city a more organic view, I think you will love it! In fact, in my case, even knowing the tiles, I'm always surprised with the possible combinations of the buildings.

It has been a titanic work, because it required to draw a lot of tiles depending on different situations. And my goal is to allow different building combinations, for now we have the small brick house and the tower brick house, but at least the stone houses will have this option too and I hope to have time to add this feature to more buildings.

I will show you an image of my testing city in the sandbox mode. Some buildings are very ugly, but you can see the possible potential and the truly Vertical Kingdom.

I hope to prepare a video soon.

In the meantime, The pixel artist is working on a total redesign of the landscapes, and the musician is creating really nice tracks. Once I have the first landscape done I will show it here.

Thank you again for your patience!

Hello fellow architects!

I'm going to be turning off the demo for now. I know this is sad, but don’t worry. This is actually a good thing!

I am doing some major updates to the game and the current demo is not reflective of those changes. For starters, new graphics are being added to the game which I believe will enhance the experience for players. We are also adding a new feature…but I don’t want to spoil it so stay tuned!

However, we will be doing a playtest in the near future with the new demo after I finish adding the new features to the game. Very excited for you all to try the updated demo and to hear your feedback.

You can go to our discord to stay tuned about the new features that I will implement very soon and chat with our great community. Thanks and see you next time!

Hi Great architects!

Hi! I updated the Demo with a new mode called Vertical Kingdom, this mode is a free mode, where the player can create a city without objectives and with more wide landscapes. I hope you like it!

The idea for adding this new mode is let the player play at their own pace and learn how the game works, and if they feel that they want to try something more challenging they can go to the next mode that is the expedition, that is the old mode of the game, the roguelite mode. I hope you like it.

I added a river landscape and I have to improve the cloud map and the desert map, I hope to do those soon.
I forgot, I added more buildings to the demo, I added some in the city progress tree and others in unlockable with population.

I hope you like it!

Hello everyone!
I am proud to announce that Vertical Kingdom is now being published by Freedom Games. For those of you who may not know, a game publisher can take care of a lot of the business and marketing side of releasing a game. That includes managing our store pages, marketing and advertising the game, helping showcase the game at both digital and live events, PR, and a lot more. Really it lets me totally focus on working to make the game the best it can be, and provides me with the resources to do so.

Thank you all for your support leading up to now as I couldn’t have done this without all of you. If you haven’t already please wishlist the game while you’re here and if you want to join the community, you can join our brand new Discord or follow us on Twitter!

Hi everyone!

I'm happy to announce that the demo is live. After finishing some fixes I decided that this is the moment.

I'm happy and I'm anxious at the same time. This is my little love letter to the world, and I don't know what will be the response... bad, good, or worse, silence.



During my life and career as a game developer I made a lot of mistakes, and I had to start from scratch many times. And life always gave me a new opportunity for a fresh start. So my life always has been, building something and starting again, over and over... and during this cycle I was learning new things, and thanks to that I succeeded in many new challenges that gave me a lot of happiness... I'm still learning.

Vertical Kingdom is about that, life gives us random cards and events and we have to build with that.
I hope that you enjoy the demo.

Remember... build, learn, repeat
