Kingdom's Deck - v1.0.1 - Bug Fix & Balance & Performance Update

Hello, Lords and Ladies!

I’ve been diving into your feedback and bug reports on the Steam Discussion Forums, and I’m back with a quick patch to keep the adventure running smoothly. Thank you for your amazing support and insights!

Game Balance
  • Nighttime Challenge: The final night is now tougher in Standard and Conqueror modes, adding more intensity to the battle.
  • Conqueror Mode Enemies: Foes in Conqueror mode now have slightly increased health and damage.
  • Barracks Limit: Barracks are now capped at producing 5 soldiers per day.
  • Rebuilding Speed: Reconstruction of buildings destroyed during the night is now faster, helping you recover quickly.
Optimization
  • AMD Graphics Fix: I’ve fixed a crash issue affecting certain AMD graphics cards.
  • Shadow Performance: Game shadows are now optimized for smoother performance.
Bug Fixes
  • Market: Fixed an error that caused negative resources in the market.
  • Blacksmith & Armorer Bug: Fixed an issue where the game would pause in the evening until the battle started.
  • Resolution Settings: Resolved a bug that reset the resolution in the settings menu whenever other changes were made.
  • Tutorial Progression: Fixed an error that prevented players from advancing through the tutorial.

I am committed to fine-tuning the experience based on your feedback. Got thoughts on what feels unbalanced or ideas for improvement? Share them in the Steam Discussion Forums!

Thank you for your patience and support, more exciting updates are coming soon.

Kingdom's Deck is Out Now! 🎉

Greetings, Lords and Ladies!

We did it! Kingdoms Deck is officially OUT on Steam, and I’m thrilled to share this moment with you!

Nearly two years ago, I took a leap of faith, diving into my first commercial game with just my savings and a whole lot of hope. Kingdoms Deck began as a solo passion project, but over time it transformed into something truly special. I want to thank the amazing Rogue Duck team for their talent and dedication in shaping this game, and my family and friends for their unwavering support through every step!

But my biggest thanks go to YOU, our incredible community. Your feedback, videos, and messages (sometimes so many I could barely keep up!) shaped this game into what it is. I read every comment and watched countless videos. Your feedback has greatly improved this game.

Kingdoms Deck is a piece of my soul, crafted with love and care. I hope you enjoy the experience as you build your kingdom!

Hey Ladies and Lords!

We have been hearing your feedback on our demo and we had over 600 feedbacks filled in our feedback form.

There is a lot of actionable things to do there and we want to make sure the release will blow your socks away. We initially were planning on releasing our game around mid-March. But the feedback you gave was so to the point, we realized many things we can improve upon. This is why we decided on a release date of April 28th, 2025!

Even though the demo has a restricted amount of content, we can do better with more content on the release and more QoL improvements, pointed out by many nice and deep reviews we got!

Plans for the Full Release!

Hi Lords and Ladies!

First of all, thank you for playing Kingdom’s Deck and for sharing your valuable feedback through the feedback form. Your input is helping shape the game, and I’m excited to reveal some of the amazing new features coming in the full release!

[h3]New Cards, New Strategies
[/h3]Get ready to expand your tactical options! You can expect new buildings, powerful spells, and game-changing tools. Some cards will provide resource boosts, while others will require you to take calculated risks, like trading resources for short-term advantages or using spells with thrilling, unpredictable outcomes.

[h3]Unique Units and Fierce Enemies
[/h3]The battlefield is about to get even more exciting! I’m adding unique units to your army, each with their own strengths and abilities, offering more variety in combat. Whether you're deploying ranged attackers or heavy melee soldiers, every unit will play a critical role in your defense. But beware: new and terrifying enemies are on the way, bringing more intense battles that will challenge your strategies. The war for your kingdom will be tougher than ever, but with new allies at your side, you’ll be ready for anything!

[h3]New Scenarios and Game Modes
[/h3]Prepare to defend your kingdom across brand-new scenarios and maps! These new locations will introduce different enemy attack routes, requiring you to adapt to new environments and tactics. Whether it’s defending a narrow pass or protecting multiple fronts, these scenarios will test your strategic skills. Additionally, new difficulty levels and game modes will be added, how long can you hold out against waves of increasingly tougher enemies?

[h3]Improved Controls and Quality of Life Enhancements[/h3]
We’ve heard your feedback on unit management, and we’re making improvements! Expect smoother controls for better troop management and enhanced UI for greater clarity and readability throughout the game.

[h3]Balancing and Level Design
[/h3]One of my top priorities is ensuring that the game’s progression feels fair but challenging. We’re refining the pacing of both daytime building and nighttime battles to eliminate sudden difficulty spikes and smooth out the learning curve. Levels will be more balanced, providing a better flow as you advance, ensuring that each victory feels well-earned and satisfying.

Stay tuned for more updates, and as always, your feedback continues to shape the future of Kingdom’s Deck. Don’t forget to wishlist the game—it really helps the development!
