Hello! Long time no see. It’s been a year since we last did an announcement about TABG and we thought it was time for another one. This one is basically relaying the same information from that post and what we’ve been posting in the forums in the last year.

2019 post:
https://steamcommunity.com/gid/103582791462449141/announcements/detail/1727596629128425663

It’s super cool to see that this game still has a small passionate community creating mods, spinoff games, and videos and keeping the game alive through any means possible. We would like to thank you all for keeping the mood up despite having few players.

For those who don’t know, TABG is a spoof of our main game Totally Accurate Battle Simulator. TABG was originally only meant to be an April Fools for the Totally Accurate Battle Simulator players that had been waiting for the game since 2016. We didn’t want to keep them waiting any longer and to release TABS we needed and still need all hands on deck. TABS is currently in Early Access with an estimated release in Q2/Q3 2020. After it’s finished we can work on the TABG update again.

What does this mean for TABG? It means that we will not go F2P as soon as we hoped but we will further down the road. We’re not abandoning the game, we still want to bring in more players and finish the new brawl mode. We’ve looked into outsourcing the F2P update to other studios but since the game was made in three months the code and systems needed are a bit of a mess, we simply have to clean that mess up ourselves.

We know waiting is hard, we’re not happy about how long you have had to and will still have to wait for the update. We apologize for that. We still wear the helmet of shame and will do so until we've updated the game!

We have just released a brand-new live-action trailer for Red Wings: Aces of the Sky! It’s an arcade action game that lets you become a flying legend of the Great War! Pilot warplanes of Entente Powers and the Triple Alliance on your PC and consoles. The excitement takes off on Nintendo Switch first!

Watch the brand new trailer here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sK7Yjc8xuvg
In the beginning of 1917, Manfred von Richthofen became the leader of the No 11 Fighter Squadron Jasta 11. Under his command, the squadron gained many of the best German pilots of the time. Since the dominant color of the planes in the squadron was red, von Richthofen’s nickname comes from this period: the Red Baron.

102 years later the Red Baron’s story returns with the new Red Wings: Aces of the Sky live-action trailer.

Dive into this dynamic action game that puts you right in the middle of thrilling battles with a fresh arcade gameplay style. Travel back in time to the breakthrough period of the history of flight, when the courage of pilots bordered on insanity and the risk was never higher.

Witness aerial dogfights as you assist the heroic Red Baron, Manfred von Richthofen—the fighter ace of the war, known for 80 air combat victories. Do you have what it takes to become a part of his squadron?
Choose from over 10 historical warplanes of Entente Powers and the Triple Alliance to pilot. Invite a friend and fly together with local multiplayer on split screen. Sky-high adventures are waiting for you!

Rule the skies and pilot legendary warplanes! Take your opponents down and use skill points to make your pilot aim even deadlier. Experience a one-of-a-kind comic book-stylized adventure set in an exciting historical period. Read quotes from real letters from WW1 pilots on your way to becoming the true ace of the sky.

Dear Retailers

It is time for our next letter, explaining what we have been up to.


Yay, our translation system is finally up and running!

Over the time a lot of you has offered help with translating the game, both in existing languages, but also into new ones we haven't supported. And while we would love your help, setting up and handling the logistics was one of the main reasons why we have turned down the help. In December we finally set the time aside to create a system, where you can assist in translating as little or as much as you want to, and last week we were able to set it public.

To help out with translations go to:

https://translate.kingofretail.com/

As the system is completely new, feedback is also very welcome :)


In our last letter we were preparing for groceries, and by that changing the displays to allow various sixed items. Most of the time has been spent on progression with these systems.

They are finally at a place where we feel they are as we want them to be. However some of the systems as you know them as changed.

Some displays will be as you know them. Shirt displys will have the same amount of shirts as previous. However tables will carry as many as can fit in the width. So a table can maybe carry 4 computers but 6 mice, removing a lot of the wasted space on the smaller items.

The new shelf type, allows you to add shelves, and move them up and down so that it fits a lot ot articles without wasting too much space.



Displays will now be colored by your choice, rather than using the "Material orb" system. The orbs allowed for various materials, but the downside to this is that you cant make the various displays look up to their best, as they all have to fit these "generic" looks also.
Instead you will now be able to select which colors your displays should be, allowing for a more customizable look for your store. In future this will also allow that you can get more than one "skin" for each display. These skins are made specific for each display allowing them to look much more detailed than previsously.
This also means that we have some work to do changing the existing displays, but hopefully it will bring an inprovement to overall graphics.

As an added bonus, all displays will allow for the option of adding a billboard to them. These borads can also be customized in various vays. This time it will go out as a test, but in the future this can be expanded so you will be able to hang these boards down from the ceiling, and also add your own graphics to it.



With the displays in order, we have just started yesterday adding articles to the groceries category, with the very first items being Cereal Boxes, with the two companies Tasty Foods and Organix fighting for the market.



Over the next weeks this category will of course be expanded with a lot of interesting articles, such that you can create your own supermarket.


Until next time

Studio KUBI Games is announcing a new dark action adventure game set in medieval Silesia. It’s a unique mix of several genres: the fighting sequences resemble RPGs and the riddles and dialogues resemble adventure games from the 90’s, but there are also stealth passages and challenging puzzles. After a successful playtest, the game is leaving its pre-production phase and releasing the first teaser trailer to let people know it’s on the way. Watch it on YouTube:

Europe is in the middle of religious upheaval and many preachers predict that the end of the world is near. The year is 1428 and the Hussites have just set out on their Silesian campaign. These heretics appear to be the biggest threat in the kingless country. But true evil of a completely different kind is lurking nearby and it will not engage in religious disputes.

• An interesting story, with true historical events in the background.
  
• Linear gameplay based on chapters and levels.
  
• Challenging riddles and puzzles in the style of classic adventure games.
  
• Exploration of underground dungeons, caves, monasteries, or castles.
  
• Isometric, stylized, slightly fairytale-like, but mostly dark low poly graphics.
  
• Stealth passages.
  
• A combat system where being outnumbered is a problem.

The game is currently planned only for Windows and PC. Other platforms are being considered.

The entire game is a one-man project. I’ve been working on it for about a year, even though the idea itself dates back much further. A few graphic artists, animators, and sound engineers have helped out with the game as well.

--- 170 new Examine spots added. All over act 2 and act 3.

--- Two new relics are now accessible in act 3.

--- First proper spell-checking pass. Long overdue. This included, story, examine spots, enemy yells, tutorial messages.



//The end is closer than some would think, a week and the game should be core content ready!

In an effort to mix things up a bit, we are swapping out two of the maps in our Free Battles event schedule. Previously, Wednesday’s Field Battle has been played on Ghost Town and Sunday’s Siege map has been the venerable Augolia. These will change to Emerald River and Allenburg respectively - with immediate effect. Both maps were introduced last month as part of the Wrath of the Nomads update. 

Free Battles constitute one of three types of weekly event (the others being Duel and Territory Wars). You can find out more about Free Battles and other events via the updated schedule.

It's a super exciting time for everyone here at the studio with the console release just around the corner, and you may have noticed that's been a big focus for us recently. But what if we were to tell you we've been cooking something else up? Perhaps something to say a little thank you to our lovely PC players, you know, the people that got us here in the first place! Sound good?

GOOD! Because we haven't forgotten about our awesome PC players, no way! To say thank you to all of you, we're releasing a brand new, free update on PC today: R.E.M.I.X.

R.E.M.I.X is a digital recreation of three of your favourite levels:

• Hogsport
  
• Lower Bullocks
  
• Flottering

What do we mean by digital recreation? Excellent question! The good people at Bungle came up with the idea to create a hospital simulator simulation... or something like that... where you'll complete goals to receive stars. Of course, being digital, these stars don't actually reflect anything tangible, they aren't a standardised rating by a recognised board like the Two Point Health Ministry, they're purely symbolic of progress and an understood practice in video games. Let's face it, now you know about them, you want them, right? We aren't making sense are we? Ok let's break it down:

Hogsport
This lovely little tutorial level is known for being wonderfully peaceful, and a great way to get started in Two Point County. In R.E.M.I.X however, your beloved starter level is about to be overrun with patients needing attention in a 10 wave horde mode! You'll need to use your skills as a wicked good hospital administrator to overcome this one!

Lower Bullocks
Just when you think you've got to grips with Lower Bullocks, R.E.M.I.X strikes! This isn't going to be a piece of cake (mmm...cake), this is a serious mission of hospital expansion, with super fun challenges to complete before you're able to unlock more plots. Can you unlock them all and sustain a successful hospital?

Flottering
Yes, yes, we all know Flottering is a training hospital, but this time you'll be profiting from career development (no, not your own). You'll be facing the tough challenge of training up your junior staff members and profiting while you do it! You'll still gain some income from curing patients of course, but we don't really care about them here; that's acceptable right?

We hope you enjoy the new challenges that await you in this free update! Thank you for your support, and here's to more coming in the future!

Release Notes

Build: 1.18.46772

• Added Remix Mode
  • Variation of Hogsport, Lower Bullocks & Flottering
    
  • Access to Remix levels is unlocked by getting 1 star on Flottering
