[h3]
The last month was so exiting![/h3]
Finding a publisher, starting my own company and then going to gamescom - all while still working on the game. It was a lot, but totally worth it!
[h2]Hooded Horse[/h2]
I've decided to partner up with Hooded Horse to release Super Fantasy Kingdom. If you don't know who Hooded Horse is, they are a publisher for strategic indie games, and have quite a lineup of games already.
This doesn't change anything on how the game is being developed, or what vision I have for the game. Where they will be helping me out is with marketing, QA, localization and production support. That will allow me to really focus on making Super Fantasy Kingdom an amazing game.
[h2]Gamescom[/h2]
It totally blew my mind that SFK got exhibited at
gamescom. And I finally met some of you. Seeing the enthusiasm for my work with my own eyes was just surreal. I also saw a lot of people play the game for the first time. And of course I learned a lot from that!
[h2]Skill tree[/h2]
Now back to the game.
There were a lot of updates, but the biggest recent addition is the faith skill tree.
It allows you to decide wether to focus combat, economy or production. As with all parts of the game those priorities will also change based on your general progression.
Next I want to rework how meat works to make it more simple and consistent. You can join that discussion over on
Discord!
