Super Fantasy Kingdom News

[p]Hey everyone 👑[/p][p][/p][p]Patch 5 is out and aims to solve some of the most reported problems and to clarify the most asked questions. [/p][p][/p][p]The pause menu now contains a dictionary of keywords to select, so you can always read what all the special resources and status effects do. A lot of descriptions and UI elements have been improved after seeing what caused confusion in the reviews, on discord and in forum posts. That includes the fate selection, where you can now see which boss still has a star for you.[/p][p][/p][p]The task board was improved to be more fair. Some annoyances, like the slow road builder or the restricted storage space in the Library, have been adjusted.[/p][p][/p][p]Then I've worked hard to make the experience even better with gamepad. It should be much clearer which building or which card is selected now, and outposts are also easier to select.[/p][p][/p][p]And lastly, there is the balance. [/p][p]I've made this game for you to have fun exploring a big world, meeting its characters, mastering the mechanics and uncovering all the secrets with always new challenges. I'm very sorry that some of you are not able to experience that. Once people claim their first win, it seems to work well, but getting really stuck before that is ultra frustrating. It makes the game feel linear, or as if there was one special way to progress, when in reality experimenting and trying out new combinations is the key to victory. You cannot imagine how bad I feel about that. This patch should hopefully also improve that.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]New features/QoL:[/h3]

[p]Hey everyone 👑[/p][p][/p][p]here are the patch notes for yesterday's patch. Sorry for the delay, but I went straight to working on the next update that is currently being tested and will be released today. It will be the biggest update yet.[/p][p][/p][p]The most important change is destroyed siege engines are not counting as death anymore, which was caused by a bug and just unfair. That is also the topic of the balance changes this time around. They are aimed at making the game more fair, without making it too easy. Buffing cadus and the clown should also help the undead kingom greatly.[/p][p][/p][p]The other changes are aimed at improving clarity, like making it more obvious how to switch kingdoms or that you can exit the game safely in the morning to resume your run later.[/p][p][/p][h3]Steam Reviews[/h3][p]Please make sure to leave a Steam review, sharing your thoughts and feedback about Super Fantasy Kingdom. They're a powerful way to let me know what you think and help out quite a bit! I'll continue to look through them as more patches come out.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]New features/QoL:[/h3]

[p]Hey everyone 👑[/p][p][/p][p]After finally getting some rest, I’m excited to share the final update of the release weekend with you![/p][p][/p][p]This patch focuses more on balancing the third week, where many players still had bigger problems. Buffing the Paladin, whom you unlock around that time, as well as preventing people from losing resources to siege engines they cannot use anyway should hopefully make it smoother as well. [/p][p][/p][p]In a similar direction, kingdom leveling is faster now, the first curse level is unlocked faster and heroes cost even less shards now. I've also improved the first descriptions people had the most problems with and fixed a ton of bugs.[/p][p][/p][p]I've received so much feedback and many suggestions. Some of which seem very obvious now, but that's exactly what the early access period is for. Together we can make the game the best it can be.

[p]Here's the second patch for Super Fanatsy Kingdom!

Special jobs did seem to cause a lot of confusion, which needs to be solved by explaining them better. For the meantime just a quick fix so they do not continuously drain your wallet.

As for shards, it seems my design does not work as intended. Things like the islands and heroes were meant to be unlocked over a longer time, so even if your run did not break your glory high score, you still have some progression. For players who are very stuck, it feels like that one island unlock is stopping them from progression. That is related to difficulty as well of course. I have reduced the shard costs this patch, but will try to improve this further.

I've read the concerns under the last patch notes about whether the game will become too easy as a reaction to negative reviews, but I can assure you that I do monitor the situation very carefully and only adjust based on unfair deaths. There are also 5 curse levels with increasing difficulty to test your skills at and earn more glory.

[p]It's day one of Early Access. I'm totally floored by the reception of the game. As promised, here are the first improvements based on your reports:

I do realize the game was still too hard early. Even after months of intensive testing and fine-tuning, how such an enormous number of new players approach the game is just totally different. I hope the experience, especially in the first two weeks, will be better now.
