Hello,

PiedPipers Team here.

First of all, thank you once again for playing our game. We really appreciate it.

Unfortunately, we’ve decided to push back our next update. We had planned on releasing a new patch and DLC this year, but after reviewing your feedback have come to the conclusion that we need more time.

Please accept our sincere apology for this sudden and unexpected delay.

That being said, if all goes according to plan our next update will go live in December and the DLC will follow in February.

Both the new update and DLC will provide tons of new content, the key parts of which are listed below.

New Mode

[h3][DLC- February][/h3]
2 New Scenarios

Please just keep in mind that we’re delaying the release of all this to provide the highest-quality experience that we can. We promise that the wait will be worth it!

Hello Again!

We’re pleased to finally welcome the German and Chinese-speaking communities to Plebby Quest. You can now enjoy it in your native languages!

The main goal of this patch was to provide a lot of ‘quality of life’ improvements that would make for a more satisfying gaming experience. We’re just sorry that we couldn’t deliver these changes even earlier or during the initial launch. Rest assured that we’ll continue to improve the game to the best of our ability going forward though!

However please keep in mind that this update will NOT allow you to finish any games that are currently in progress (your overall save data regarding game completions and unlocked features will not be adversely affected though).

- Combined pre-existing autobots (wall repair, patrol, etc) to create Public Order Bot
- In case you assign the Public Order Bot to suppress armed rabble, a General that will undoubtedly win will be chosen and the battle will proceed automatically.

[h3]Improved Coin Mini-game[/h3]
- Changed Religious Conference persuasion to work the same as conversations in the Inn.
- No longer done in mid to late game thanks to Monastery Bot
