UPDATE 0.565 [BUGFIXING]
Welcome, lords and ladies of KINGDOMS!
0.565
It's Friday and usual bug-fixing update is here! But before i'll tell you some important info about it i want to thank all of you for huuuuuge support you gave Kingdoms this week. In spite the fact that the game is unfinished, buggy, unpolished etc.etc and there is still a LOT of work to do before we all see it as i initially wanted - i really appreciate your support for my game, you're the best, folks! As said, a long way is still ahead, but we're moving in the right direction - i'm sure of it!
To the update! The one fix i want to focus first is the fix for the issue when save could get broken after destroying notice board or any other house in your settlement - it was really hard to catch, the issue was really not very obvious to find, but it's fixed! That's good news, bad are - if you had problem with save loading and you remember that you destroyed a structure - save is broken, sorry(( I try to avoid such situations, but i said many time before - frequent updates with new content will cause such things - and i really hope that not often! So, new game is needed, if you experienced infinite loading issue. Also, i'm closing "destroyable" buildings feature - now farms and their structures garden and windmill can be destroyed. The last step will be City Hall and defence towers - i've rewritten script here, so it will be added soon, to close the case completely. Also, some bugs were fixed there and there, as usual, full list follows.
Oh, yeah, one more important thing - sieges updates are coming back since Monday, so prepare your armies! We'll soon march at war!
IMPORTANT!!! For such players who is experiencing crashes at launch, that started 2-3 weeks ago. I've finally found the issue - this is connected with one of latest Windows security update (thanks MS!). If you experience this issue, make sure that Kingdoms folder is added to exceptions by your Windows Defender. This will work not only for Kingdoms, but also for other Unity-made games, that also started to crash after recent Windows update.
BUGFIXING
FULL LIST OF UPDATES
IMPORTANT
1) Please, feel free to use built-in bug reporter (F11) - it will help development a lot.
2) If something is broken make sure you have verified game files and started new world, remember -KINGDOMS is still EA, i try to make saves compatibility for every new version of the game, but can't guarantee it all the time.
3) The game is still in development, it's NOT finished product, updates are coming 3-4 times a week and that will inevitably cause various issues. Updates for game in development and for finished game - are two absolutely different things, remember that. Game mechanics come and gone, bugs are being fixed and new ones appear all the time. Its a normal thing for development process. If you want to experience KINGDOMS as it was initially designed - smooth, without bugs and full of working mechanics - please, wait till final version will be out.
Thanks for your support, see you very soon!
