According to the initial plan, an update for the new Champion 'Helga' was scheduled. But through many internal discussions, we have decided that the champion's concept and direction do not fit well into Royal Crown.
For everyone, we would like to inform you that champion 'Helga' has been temporarily withheld from the update plan.
We ask for your kind understanding of the unfortunate news as above. When the new update plan is confirmed, we will inform you through the notice as soon as possible.

Summer Sickness is upon us! More levels! More defenders! More of those pesky cowonas!
Happy to finally release Episode 2: Summer Sickness! I was debating on naming it "Summer Stupidity" as the events in the game take place in the Summer of 2020.. smh. I'm a little behind my anticipated schedule as it's been a rough year and it's just myself working on this in my free time. When the game was first developed, things were quite different, but I'm happy to report that we now have a vaccine!!!!!!!!
Future Plans I initially announced that I would be donating a percentage of proceeds for the year of 2020. As time moved forward it became painfully clear that the effects of COVID-19 will be much more long lasting than I had expected at the time; As such, I will be donating 25% of the proceeds indefinitely. Previously the donations were being sent to bapscharities.org COVID-19 relief fund, they do great charitable work around the globe with a current focus in India. Any future donations will be going to them and potentially other organizations who are distributing vaccines to those who currently need it most.
I really hope you enjoy this update as the content has more than doubled from the initial release! Get me to 1000 downloads and I'll make a PvP mode *wink

A question I've been asked a lot is "Will you be making a vaccine tower for the game?". The answer is HELL YES! It's in the works! In the meantime go get your real vaccine! Thanks for playing and stay healthy. - Wade
In the results of the previous survey, the opinion that the game was difficult because of hacking users overwhelmingly took first place.
Therefore, after much discussion, our development team has decided to change the security tool of Combat Arms Reloaded to Battle Eye, which is known as the most effective anti-cheat tool.
Battle Eye will be applied on June 30, 2021, so we hope that you will enjoy playing the game more.
Also, please note that we are holding an enhancement event to commemorate the enhancement of the Battle Eye security tool.
Reduced the amount of enhancement materials required to enhance rare and epic items.
Enhancement materials can be obtained when disassembling rare and epic permanent items.(Permanent items with a lot of enhancement will acquire more enhancement materials)

We apologize for any inconveniences and thank you for your patience.
For almost a decade, we've had the pleasure of having new players discover and explore our first game, Primordia, during Steam sales. Now we are pleased to welcome you to the nightmarish carnival of Strangeland. If you are considering diving in, a few tidbits:
First, we are pleased to announce that we now have a Linux build for Strangeland. We've always been very fond of the Linux gaming community, and we're really happy to be able to get a build posted so quickly. Please let us know if you run into any issues, and we will quickly patch them!
Second, for possible players on either Windows or Linux, a few notes about the game:
If you are unfamiliar with point-and-click adventures, please check the How to Play information in the options menu.
Unlike many older adventure games, you cannot lose the game (either by permanently dying or becoming permanently stuck). There's always a way forward (and sometimes that way forward actually is transient death!).
If you get stuck, the game has an integrated hint system accessible by dialing 0 on the pay phone in the central area. But if you'd rather ask someone outside the game, there's a very active community on the message boards, and the development team reads it throughout the day. We're happy to give you nudges.
Similarly, if you have any technical difficulties, please post a message on the boards or send an email to me at mark@wormwoodstudios.com. We typically manage to respond in a matter of minutes (or at most hours). No game is ever bug free (especially games with a giant cicada!), but as of right now, we haven't heard of any ongoing issues. Nevertheless, we're always happy to help.
While Strangeland may evoke comparisons to games like Sanitarium or Silent Hill, it is not a game about uncovering a deep, dark secret. There are plenty of mysteries and darkness, but some players have been surprised at the lack of a surprise.
The game has an incredibly robust commentary and annotation mode; if you are finding the mysteries and metaphors impenetrable, you might experiment with this mode, which many players have enjoyed. Our recommendation, though, is to play the game without commentary and annotations in your first run.
Most of all: we hope you enjoy the game, and that you share your thoughts with us. There is nothing more rewarding than hearing from players, and nothing more valuable as a developer than receiving feedback (positive and negative alike) from the folks drawn to the game.
