Steam Deck Support & Development Update
Hey Everyone!
[h2]Steam Deck[/h2]
We’ve added support for the Steam Deck to Kingdoms and Castles! We've worked hard to implement intuitive gamepad controls that make it easy to build and manage your kingdom and we've tweaked the UI to work well for the Deck's screen size. Note this doesn’t impact the PC/mouse experience at all - it’s just a little bonus. If you've got a Steam Deck, give it a try and let us know what you think!
[h2]Gamepad Controls[/h2]
This also means general gamepads plugged into your computer will now work! The game can transition seemlessly between gamepad and keyboard/mouse. Just make sure to check on ‘Console Controls’ option in the game’s settings menu if you want to use a gamepad on the PC (note you don’t need to change this setting for the Steam Deck).
[h2]What's next?[/h2]
Otherwise right now we’re hard at work on:
Until next time,

Otherwise right now we’re hard at work on:
- Fixing bugs - you may have noticed a few small hotpatches over the past few weeks, more to come soon.
- New stuff for the AI Kingdoms based on your feedback so far (for example, getting that pesky aggressive AI to stop asking for tribute after defeating them in a war, and being able to demand tribute yourself).
- VR version of the game - this is well underway and feels really cool. We'll have some progress to show here soon.
Until next time,
