[p]Hey everyone,[/p][p][/p][p]House of Legacy is part of the Steam Autumn Sale. Pick it up before October 6 at this historic low price.[/p]

[p]Since this week and part of next week fall within the holiday period, our update will be postponed to next Friday, October 10.[/p][p] [/p][p]Focus of this update: Enriching fiefdom gameplay + polishing existing content.[/p][p] [/p][p]Main contents of this update:[/p][p] [/p][p]1. Expanding fiefdom gameplay: Currently, villages and towns within fiefdoms only provide numerical values such as population and commerce, without direct gameplay. This update will flesh out that part, adding events and interactive operations so that fiefdoms play a bigger role in family development.[/p][p] [/p][p]2. Improving overall in-game experience: For example, addressing the overly random nature of royal offspring talents, filling in missing chronicles, and adding privileges tied to noble titles.[/p][p] [/p][p]3. Fixing accumulated bugs.[/p][p] [/p][p]On update frequency:[/p][p]We’d like to share a small update about our development pace. Up until now, we’ve been following a weekly update cycle. In practice, that means we only have about four real development days (Monday–Thursday), with much of that time also spent on fixing bugs that pop up. Fridays are used for testing, and weekends go into more bug fixes and planning for the week ahead.[/p][p] [/p][p]While this rhythm has allowed us to deliver regular updates for the past four and a half months, it also makes it very difficult for us to work on larger, more complex features. Most of the major content for EA Version 0.8 is already complete, and what’s left often requires more than a week to build properly.[/p][p] [/p][p]Because of this, after the upcoming update, we plan to slightly extend the time between updates. This will give us the breathing room we need to focus on deeper, higher-quality features and improvements. We hope you’ll understand, and we’re truly grateful for your patience and support![/p][p] [/p][p]The journey with EA Version 0.8 will continue for a while yet, and there’s still a lot of exciting content waiting down the road (the second and third EA major versions haven’t even begun!). Optimization will also remain a priority. Rest assured, our team will keep putting our full energy into making House of Legacy the best experience it can be, a game that grows with you and is worth your time and expectations.[/p]
