Big thanks to everyone that played the demo last week – you’ve helped us iron it out as much as possible at this moment.

Btw - don't miss our event during Steam Next Fest, tonight at 10 PM CEST.

CHANGELOG

Fixed buildings not recognizing their connectivity to the town center bug
Fixed tractor animations on GrainField buildings
Fixed an issue that would cause the game to crash on loading, after most of the salvage on the city map was done
Added Swedish localization
Fixed a number of errors in the localized texts
fixed several errors with local traffic on some of the new building models

We will continue to monitor all the feedback during Next Fest and prepare updates to current version as well as lay the groundwork for more extensive upgrades that will come later as development continues (mainly heavier optimizations that need a bit more time).
Meanwhile – enjoy Next Fest, there will be plenty of awesome games showcased there. Make your selection and let’s celebrate games!

Have fun!

Quick third demo update, Sunday edition

Hi Governors!

As we're working on next bigger patch for Kaiserpunk demo, we've identified a couple of additional issues that could block the progression of hideout quests, as well as cause halt in some cutscenes.

As we really want all of you to have a chance to go through the entire demo, we're releasing these fixes immediately ahead of next planned update.

Apologies to players that experienced inconvenience because of this!

CHANGELOG

fixed the air raid cutscene. the blimps no longer stop mid-air
fixed several issues in the Local hideouts story that could prevent it from resolving
fixed a bunch of localization issues
fixed an issue with the Japanese localization that would cause the framerate to drop significantly

Have fun!

We're back - and we have second demo update in the bag!

Hello Governors!

We’ve managed to finish another update before NextFest starts on Monday. This time, besides numerous fixes and tweaks you asked for, we’ve also added some new stuff, like different farm 3D models, some elements of optimizations and so on.

Hope you’ll get a chance to try out these improvements while we continue on next update.

CHANGELOG

Improved AI by slowing its garrison acquisition, so it’s not instant and impossible to take over
Implemented save/load of custom tracked resources
Reworked GrainField models (2 variations)
Reworked GrainField animations (2 variations)
Reworked Farm models
Reworked Farm animations
Optimized GrainField and Farm models
Made minor optimizations to the codebase to better preserve a stable framerate
Fixed occasions where the save file gets stuck at 70% loading
Added transformers (Water Tower and Power Substation) information to the new save files, so it doesn’t halt production on reload
Fixed building connections not properly updating after moving the building
Fixed copied buildings losing their entrances after a successful paste operation
Added Thai localization
Added French localization
Added Japanese localization
Fixed a number of text errors

One word regarding various language localizations – we still haven’t added all languages, but it should be done pretty soon. Also, many languages already added are in first iteration, so we apologize for any mistakes. We’re also going through live demo now and finding them so expect significant improvements to all of them in time.

And once again many thanks for trying Kaiserpunk and sharing your honest opinions. Aslo many thanks to everyone that provided us with log and save files – it helped a lot in tracking issues!

Have fun!

First demo update is served!

Good day Governors!

You've jumped to early demo access vigorously, and tried to break the game in a variety of ways. Thank you for that, as well as for fantastic feedback!

Now it's our turn - first update to existing demo of Kaiserpunk is here! We've tried to resolve and iron out as many issues as we could in two days. Hopefully this update will allow you to continue playing the game and enhance your experience. And we'll head immediately to assembling next update, at least until some of you find new creative ways to break the demo.

Thank you for playing Kaiserpunk demo, and keep spamming us with feedback! We won't complain as long as that benefits the game ːsteamhappyː
