Build 2858 - First Patreon Features, Road to Free to Play - Plus Bounties, Features, Tweaks and Translations
Hey Folks!
You can now support the game through Patreon over here!
We're excited to bring you the first build with Patreon features! ːkag_yesː
We've been working towards unveiling this for a while and we can't wait to hear what you think.
Some features are still a little rough, but the bulk of the lower tier patreon features are there:
Still to come is the custom heads for top-tier supporters, and making sure the integration is production ready - but we won't know the latter until we've tested it at proper volume! ːkag_smileː
Free to Play is coming!
This build is part of the march towards a Sustainable, Open, F2P KAG that has been happening behind the scenes.
F2P should significantly increase the accessibility of the game and help the player population. All current paid players will retain all current access, all Steam DLC will continue to function, and there will NOT be pay to win microtransactions - nothing to fear ːkag_flexː
More info on that soon as details are worked out! There's an overview of our current plans on the patreon page for those interested.
Business as Usual - More Improvements
This build also contains several bounty, feature, tweak and translation changes, with more on their way soon!
A quick overview (check the changelog for full details):
There's also a further 10 pull requests waiting on github for review before the next build, more mapcycle changes coming, and a lot of community development and discussion happening day to day. If you're not already, jump in The Official KAG Discord and get involved with #democracy, #development, #mapping and #testing!
Have Fun!
