One week has passed away since our endeavor has been officially launched, and i wanted to tell you what's next.
First, i am working on localization, translations to several languages (DE, PT - Brazil, etc), gameplay tweaks, update to libraries to be more compatible with newer OS (win 10, win 11), heavily improve the performance, and of course adding new content for you to enjoy.
⠀⠀⠀
As you can see here https://steamcommunity.com/app/670820/allnews/ almost each day i did a game save compatible patch, and from now on i will try to keep them weekly, when needed, or even faster if people report problems we (me and my wife) haven't discovered while testing, playing.
I want to thank for your support and have a great summer!

Hope you’ve all been enjoying the AI Kingdoms update (and the Steam Deck controls if you have one)! It's been fun to see folks interact with the AIs. We're now working on the next couple of updates, here's a little preview of the progress we're making:
VR
We have been working very hard to get the game playable in VR. This is our last crowdfunding campaign goal and it’s important to us to follow through on our word. This will also be a free update and completely optional. The game is now mostly playable in VR, but has some rough edges we’ll be working out before it's ready for beta testing.
AI Kingdoms - Diplomacy+
Thanks for all the feedback on the AI Kingdoms update! We’re preparing another update with a new conversations to expand your interactions with the AI as well as the ability for you, the player, to demand tribute if you’d like, and a bunch more things folks have asked for. We're also working on more optimizations. We should have this up on the next-version-preview branch soon for beta testing.
Note on Price
Over the last five years, we’ve improved the game significantly and added tons of new features and mechanics. So far we’ve done 11 big content updates, all completely free. On August 9th we're raising the price of the game to $14.99 (if you’ve already bought the game this has no impact on you). We feel this is still a great value but better represents all the work we’ve put in to the game over the years.
