[p]Hey everyone 👑[/p][p][/p][p]this is the final patch of the release week frenzy. Some great quality of life stuff this time:[/p][p][/p][p]The tavern animation has annoyed people after a while, so you can skip it now by clicking on the "Enter Tavern" banner. Then I further improved the armory chances, so you do not gain duplicates as often. And the auto-disabling of special jobs has been removed. It was not necessary anymore now that the descriptions are more clear.[/p][p][/p][p]One great idea came from Caidryn in the steam forums. Hero equipment slots are unlocked with total glory now, which should make it a lot more motivating to try another hero. He has the slots you unlocked already, and it helps you to unlock more of them for all other heroes as well.[/p][p][/p][p]And then we have the usual improvements in clarity: A new tutorial for fate and the undead graveyard function, the markers are more noticable, and multiple descriptions have been improved.[/p][p][/p][p]It does also seem like the balance is finally getting into a better spot. I am so happy to see more of you having fun with the game now, and there also seems to be a lot less frustration. Looking back at this week, I think the progress has been phenomenal. Eight patches with substantial changes in seven days. Also, how we had no big or game-breaking bugs. I rarely talk about it, but this is my first game. I should be proud about that.[/p][p][/p][p]I'd love to take this energy and determination into the whole early access period, but I will need your help on the next steps. Please come into Discord and help with suggestions for new and existing content. Do not forget to leave a review, that helps so much. Or share the game on any other way.[/p][p][/p][p]But, due to popular demand, I will take it a bit slower now 😅 After all his patience with me, I do want to take Mio on some trips. And I do have a few "I'll do that after release" appointments next week.[/p][p][/p][p]Hope you have a great weekend! :sfk_mio:[/p][p]Feryaz [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]New features/QoL:[/h3]

Slick little roguelike city-build-and-defend game Super Fantasy Kingdom hit early access this week, asking you to time loop your ever-growing kingdom to victory against a mysterious foe that sends waves of enemies against you each night. To win you'll have to build up a base of resources to keep a collection of valiant heroes fed and armed...

[p]Hey everyone 👑[/p][p][/p][p]here are the patch notes for yesterday's patch. Sorry for the delay this time.[/p][p][/p][p]The big change is that all deposits are explained in the pause menu glossary now. That should help with multiple questions that came up repeatedly, such as how to get more thickets and especially how the undead economy works. The mini-boss fight and the upgradable buildings in the world are also more clear now.[/p][p][/p][p]The balance finally seems to be becoming better as well. I see a lot more of you are having fun with the game now and are not as stuck anymore. That is more like the game was meant to be played. Of course, it's still not perfect and I'll keep working on it.[/p][p][/p][p]But the big focus of this patch was fixing bugs. I've tried to fix the ones with the most influence on your runs. When you get a relic and it does not work, that can potentially doom a run. So this should also help with balance of course.[/p][p][/p][p]Next patch is already in testing and should be released later today.[/p][p][/p][p]Feryaz[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]New features/QoL:[/h3]

[p]Hey everyone 👑[/p][p][/p][p]here is the sixth update for Super Fantasy Kingdom![/p][p][/p][p]The armory chances were reworked to reduce the chance for duplicate items, which did not work properly before. The game also does not revert your zoom level anymore, and the outposts that spawn items do so directly on the battlefield now.[/p][p][/p][p]Then we have a lot of changes aimed at making the experience better in the undead kingdom. Assigning workers and carriers should be clearer now, and their reliance on stone has been reduced.[/p][p][/p][p]The shard outpost is unlocked earlier now, giving you a bit more agency early to gain more shards. But that will not be enough. It seems like the ritual in the church is not clear and rewarding enough. So I would like to rework or replace the function. If you have any ideas for improving the shard balance, please share them below or in the forums.[/p][p][/p][p]Of course, the balance was also further improved, and a lot of bugs were fixed as well. [/p][p][/p][p]And thank you very much for the kind words under the last post. Waking up to so many supportive comments was a very pleasent surprise. Your support means the world to me.

[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]
