Dear subjects,
We are excited to announce that Sultan's Game has sold over 100K copies!
Thank you for your inconditional support. When we decided to start this project, we didn't expect a game with such crazy vibes would earn your love, but we’re happy to have conquered your hearts.
Since the texts are reaching almost 1MM, we are still working on the revision, and we promise to bring you a better experience. We’re also receiving tons of feedback and taking care of it. Expect regular patches!
Here are our planned updates:

1. Quick Execution
   For repetitive events like Managing the Estate and Court sessions, we're introducing a new feature called [Quick Execution] that can be manually switched on and off.
   Players can switch this on for daily events to skip them in rewarding period.
   (Note: Remember to disable this feature when using special cards for storyline-related actions (e.g., requesting consorts at court) to avoid missing critical storyline. Each event has individual toggle control.
   
2. Card Organization
   We are working on the feature that allows players to assign specific card categories to particular hand slots, and setting hotkeys for automatic organization.
   The auto-recommendation feature for event slots will be upgraded to suggest cards across hand rows, rather than being limited to the current row.
   
3. Music & Sound Effects
   We received a lot of feedback about the music & sound effects. However, comprehensive improvements require longer development cycles.
   We'll prioritize optimizing the most disruptive sound effects and musical transitions.
   Ongoing adjustments will be rolled out based on community feedback.
   
4. Sensitive Content Warning
   We are working on new game icons to help identify choices leading to sensitive storylines.
   Considering that some players like this kind of unpredictable fun, we put this feature into the Settings, so you can switch it on and off as you wish.
   But there are simply too many instances of such content (Skeleton scratching head.gif), and different people have different judgment criteria for “Sensitive”. We are still working on adding these icons but we need more time to make ongoing adjustments based on feedback, adding or removing these icons as needed.
   
5. Game Save
   We are working on the manual Save/Load feature.
   Players can save/load and start from the save point.
   However, due to considerations such as save file size limitations, the save point will not support rolling back to earlier ones. And players will still need to start a new game to load new entries in the Fate's Ledger.

After these improvements, we will implement new features in the next 1-2 months.

1. Controller support and Steam Deck support
   
2. Gallery
   
3. Characters & Equipments
   
4. Steam Workshop support
   

Additionally, we will continue to add more events, stories and after-story content. We have more content on plan but the first priority is polishing the current version and making it better.
Thank you for your support!! And wish you a good game!
