Save Transfers Are Finally Here! College Kings 2 Act I 3.0.6 Update

The number one feature you requested for College Kings 2 Act I was the ability to transfer your save games from CK1 right into CK2. It's finally here.

With 3.0.6 you can go into the game and load your CK1 saves straight from the start or the load screen. Simply click the big "Load CK1 Save" button. Now, all your choices from CK1 will automatically carry over into CK2. This feature is still in alpha, but will be improved upon with future patches.

We've also addressed bugs and crashes that some users were experiencing to make the game run smoother, but that's not where it stops. 3.0.6 is just the first part of our continuous CK2 Act I improvement plan.

Over the last 2 weeks, we've listened to, compiled, analyzed and evaluated thousands of pieces of your feedback. We've identified opportunities to improve the act, from tightening the cohesion of CK2 as a whole to redeveloping inconsequential relationships. We're even adding a brand new ending in addition to implementing many of your other suggestions.

We are tackling all of these improvements for an overall better gameplay experience over the next month. We've halted all work on Act II until then. We want to give you guys the outstanding act that you expected, nothing less.

We plan on releasing the College Kings 2 Act I 3.1 Update on May 24th. It will add extra scenes, a new ending and tons of writing and story enhancements. We're excited for our dedicated fans to replay the Act once 3.1 is released, we want to hear if we're on the right track so we can keep improving player experience. The update will of course be free to all existing owners of CK2 Act I.

Thank you for all your patience. Our number one goal is to make a great game for our fans and while we can't change the fact that we made mistakes, we can certainly do everything in our power to rectify those mistakes over the next month.

You can try out save transfers by simply downloading the latest CK2 Act I patch.

Dev Update - Working on Save Transfers and addressing negative feedback

Hey everyone,

I'm Undergrad Steve, creator of the game.

I live and breathe College Kings and seeing CK2 get mixed reviews is devastating to both me and the team. The reviews are full of valid criticism, you guys are right, we messed up.

The biggest criticism is the lack of save transfers. This is a feature that we know is possible, but it's quite difficult to achieve and we didn't anticipate it being so highly requested, big misjudgment on my part.

We are prioritizing getting save transfers to work and will patch it as soon as possible, however it may take a few weeks.

Besides that there are bugs in the game and the feeling that some paths where more set in stone. This may have been caused by the pathbuilder start or some weird interactions with reputation, that were unintended. I believe CK2 actually has much more complex relationships, but we do not display those properly so it may feel a lot more simplistic, which is again, a mistake on our end.

I also understand that some players are upset about CK1 being made free completely, even though they paid for it. We had hoped that this would allow easier access to CK2 and give the franchise longevity, it may have done the opposite.

College Kings 2 was an ambitious new beginning, but we missed the mark. Mistakes were made and my own judgement lead us wrong multiple times. But whatever happens, we will fight to make the game better.

So we're sorting through all of your feedback, all the reviews and we will start improving CK2 Act I bit by bit. Enabling save transfers, fixing bugs, making the storylines more complex, closing plot holes, etc.

We may make mistakes, but please believe that there's nothing we care more about than the playerbase enjoying the game. So we will improve the game until that's the case for the vast majority of people.

For this, it'd be very beneficial if you could take 2 minutes and fill out this quick feedback form:

With your feedback and enough time, we will make this the Act that you were promised. I'm sorry I made the mistakes I made. I really wish I didn't, but we will fix each and every one of them.

- Steve
