Kaiserpunk News

[p]Hi everyone, as some of you noticed and reported to us there was a few really annoying bugs that slipped into the update yesterday. Thanks to your reports we quickly managed to identify and fix them. Our appologies that you had to encounter them in the first place. [/p][p]We'll continue to monitor and work on the game! [/p][p][/p][p] - Overseer Team
[/p][h3]Changelog 1.01.010[/h3]

• [p]Fixed an issue where building a Vehicle Factory, Shipyard or Aircraft Factory would cause the UI to freeze up[/p]
• [p]Fixed an issue where trade buildings would show other building elements in their info panel[/p]
• [p]Fixed an issue where the Production Overview failed to to show the actual resource being produced as opposed to the default production resource[/p]

[p]Hi everyone, [/p][p]We’ve got another update coming your way! As always, we’re keeping track of all your feedback on social media, Steam, and Discord. Your input has been invaluable and we continue to work on Kaiserpunk with your feedback in mind. [/p][p][/p][p]For this update, we’ve focused more on UI/UX, making parts of the city building easier to navigate and addressing some common issues. In addition we’ve added cloud support and enabled deletion of save games from within the main menu of the game, something we know many of you have asked for. [/p][p][/p][p]We’ve also added a new resource panel available in the City building view to help you keep track of your resources better without needing to switch over to the more comprehensive Resource Overview Panel. It’s available through a new HUD button and shows you your stock and balance. [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Another new thing you’ll be able to find in the HUD is a Production Overview option that allows you to toggle resource icons that show up above all production buildings to help you navigate your city better and see what’s being produced where. [/p][p]
Speaking of navigating your city more easily, something we know has been highly requested, we've also added the ability to navigate to any building in your city by simply double clicking them in the Building Overview Panel.
[/p][p]You can read the full changelog further down below. [/p][p][/p][h3]Official Wiki[/h3][p]On a separate note, have you seen the official Kaiserpunk wiki?

Greetings governors,

As previously promised, we’re releasing another major update today! 1.01.001 hopefully marks the last significant push on the performance front for now, as much of the work from the team over the past month has now been completed and ready to be rolled out for you. This update should once again result in a significant improvement in performance, especially regarding frame rates in larger cities as well as on the world map - a big boost we’re happy to provide. There are more performance improvements in the works, but we can finally start seeing how parts of the team will soon be freed up to focus more on other aspects of the game.

Secondly, we’ve also given the world map a major visual overhaul, in line with some of the improvements you’ve already seen in the city builder view in recent updates. We’ll let this screenshot speak for itself.

In addition, we’ve, as always, tried to include as many other changes and fixes as we could based on your input and feedback. For example the Copy Tool now finally includes all building upgrades and Navy Units can be issued queued movement orders. We have, and will continue to, work through player feedback, and now that a large chunk of the performance work is behind us, we’ll be able to give these areas more attention than before - something we’re greatly looking forward to!

Additionally, Kaiserpunk is 30% off until May 21st, so if you or one of your friends haven’t given it a go yet, now’s a great time to pick it up!

Thank you for being patient with us through this and for all of your help and support!
