Hey Kontras, welcome to Kingdom-Crier #16!

Wolves are searching the lands of Noberia for food!



Pack Hunters, they'll call groups into action to attack their target.


Be careful, or you may find an outnumbered Mortal in their sights.


Taming them can be tricky, but we're sure you'll figure it out!


When tamed, they can act as a great scout or first line of defense, but make sure you keep them fed.


In addition, we added support for specifying the Animal Types allowed per pasture and improved behavior around Raiders attacking tames.

Tames will now eat from stockpiles that contain the appropriate food in their pasture.


Noble Fates 0.26.1.39 Released!
Content Update #14 - Wolves!
Work on Feature Update #4 continues in earnest!

cypr` Built this Epic Church...




... fit for their king.


Finnley built this impressive Underground Base!


Karma Drak dropped Kobold Race 2.0.

85. Added a DIGITAL CLOCK inside the caravan next to the bed so you always know what the in-game time is when deciding to sleep and how many hours to do so
86. Added a new BINOCULARS inventory item, located in caravan - can be used for various espionage or scouting techniques. While active you can use the mousewheel to adjust zoom
87. Added a new GRENADE type weapon - unlike other weapons, this explosive is treated as an inventory item, accessed through the inventory menu, and selecting the USE button to throw, which also allows a good opportunity to use the inventories pause function to your advantage when throwing grenades
88. To progress to the next mission, you will now have to use your caravan and sleep to the next day in order to load the next level. Additionally as an experiment, this behavior will only be in effect when playing on MEDIUM or HARD - when playing on EASY - the default behavior of using the radio tower to progress will occur. This of course all becomes irrelevant after mission 3 when the main story arc proceeds with the capture of the poacher leader, in which case missions will automatically progress until chapter 2 when the game goes into a perpetual sandbox mode
89. Fixed issue causing achievement popup to not show when an achievement is completed
+ Many other small fixes and changes
NOTE: Due to the addition of separate save slots, all save games have been reset. Askies.

Enjoy :)

READ THE FULL PATCH NOTES HERE

-Fixed a bug with petting the dog
-Slightly reduced disk size

This small update corrects a bug that made it impossible to unlock the House Cleaner achievement.

Heyo friendo's

Changelog:

• Fixed the level timer. I pray it's fixed now!
  
• Fixed some missing textures

The timer has been broken for quite some time, and I kept forgetting about it. It's hopefully in working order, even showing the miliseconds in like 3 digits for anyone in the speed department ːsteamthumbsupː

I mentioned earlier this year that I want to do one final thing for the game, like finalizing it in a way, and one of the ideas I had was to update the game's engine from Unity 2019 to 2021, as the newer versions just run WAY faster and have less engine-related hiccups.

Not sure how that would influence things, I think some of the maps will have altered baked lighting and some minor colour differences. If I can successfully migrate the thing and it looks mostly the same, I'll try and update the game in the name of performance gains.

I said recently I would stop with the whole updating thing, but thought it would be nice to let you guys know why the game has gotten a new update ːsteamthumbsupː

- Added a new voiceover to skin or no skin
- Level 5 has many improvements
- The shotgun has more improvements as well including a new silencer
- The cimkin rooms shop is opening!
- Many new clip-a-matic pictures were added
- Did some work to the leadup for the casino

• After changing the SFX volume slider, a demo sound will play.
