• marks and unpickable bugs.

Greetings!

We’re all back, gathered from the holidays, and ready to set sail for 2023! Actually, most of us have been back for a few weeks by this point, working away on this year's big release, but we're not going to be talking about that just yet. That's not to say we're not going to in the future, but until we are ready to, we want to give you something to dig your teeth into as a community. This is the first of a small series of Dev Diaries about some more minor things, teasers, and today, about a brand-new community initiative!

But first, here’s a small teaser of something coming in the expansion:




► Read more about Dev Diary #113 on our forums!



Later this year, after we’ve released the next big expansion and before we start working on the next large project, we’ll have a period where we have the time and opportunity to work on an event pack. For the last event pack we chose ‘friends and foes’ as the core theme, as it was something practically everyone in the team felt strongly about, and something that needed more content in the game. Since then, we’ve had so many ideas for future event packs, both from within the team and outside, and this time it’s harder to choose…

Therefore we’d like to invite all of you to help us decide which theme to pick! We have three themes that we’ve curated, which means a few things; each theme has designers on the team that are passionate about them, and we know roughly what free feature we’d like to add to the update that will accompany the event pack: generally we'll be aiming for something with a similar size and impact as Friends & Foes' Memories system, which heavily ties into the events we're making but is relevant across the game as a whole.

We don’t have final names for the event packs yet, but as we enjoy alliteration here’s what we’re calling them and a very brief description of each:

Wards & Wardens - Anything childhood-related, with themes such as: playing as a child, being a guardian, handling children in court, and so on. A deep dive into what being a child in the Middle Ages was actually like, and what guardianship meant in practical terms.

Love & Lust - An exploration of more intimate relationships, with themes such as: expanded seduction, romance, married life, and so on. This would be a great time to allow lovers and spouses to take on a larger role in the game.

Villains & Vagabonds - Events and content around Dread and Tyranny, exploring what it means to be dreaded, leveraging your fearsome reputation, making dread more visible, and the consequences and opportunities of being a tyrant. It’d also be interesting to explore the other side of the coin from Dread - fairness, and honor.

Even though this event pack is something we’ll work on later this year, it’s good to get your input now - this way we can start working on it without delay as soon as the next big expansion is out! As we have a lot of talented event-crafters on the design team, we feel quite confident that we can adapt to whatever theme you, as a community, choose.

If this turns out to be a popular activity, it is possible that we will do it again in the future! The themes that do not get chosen this time will likely make a comeback, alongside some new challengers.

The poll to vote is located in a separate forum thread here. Voting will begin today and you will have until January 27, 8am CET to discuss the different themes and cast your vote. We’re looking forward to seeing which theme you like the most!

Hello Commanders!

We are releasing some content updates and optimizations. Check it out now!

• Added a new PVP wagon battle map, Highland Battle.
  
• Removed Fortress Battle, a very old multiplayer map for testing purposes since 2020. A better version of it is March North.
  
• Fixed a status sync issue in wagon battle maps.
  
• Fixed the issue that sometimes giants get stuck with tents because they are too big.

What do you think about the update? We look forward to your feedback in reviews, discussions, and our Discord.

Note: Please update your game to the latest. Otherwise, players of different versions cannot see each other’s rooms in multiplayer mode.

Big announcement today, loyal subjects - KING OF THE CASTLE is officially releasing on the 2nd of March. That’s right, less than 2 months from now!

Wishlist now if you haven’t already. Better yet, tell your friends to wishlist. The game will be available exclusively on Steam.




Meanwhile, our closed beta goes from strength to strength with the new 0.10 update, “PeachyAenne.” This is likely to be the last update before launch, as we get all our last-minute polishing and bugfixing done (as well as a few exciting new features - more on that another time).

Heartfelt thanks to PeachyAenne at Stumpt Games for providing the name for this update. Find the Stumpt Games group streaming King of the Castle regularly and other great stuff right here.

• Visual improvements to the map to really show off your Kingdom!
  
• Seasonal changes on the map, from bringing snow to the mountains in Winter and brighter, more cheerful colours come Spring.
  
• Improved designs for objects on the map including new roads, rivers and names for locations.

• Based on feedback we’ve completed a full overhaul of colours throughout the game.
  
• This improves readability, increases contrast and introduces more uniformity in between what colours are used where.

• Based on feedback from our testers we now dynamically sort new Noble players into Regions with less active Noble players.
  
• This is part of our ongoing efforts to balance Regions and ensure they have more equal power come votes.
  
• We’ll be monitoring this change closely and your feedback would be greatly appreciated.

• Based on extremely… enthusiastic feedback, we’ve introduced a couple of new marriage paths to the game. If you play your cards right, you can now marry the Finfolk Prince or the Pirate Queen - though your Nobles might not react well!

The following polish changes to King of the Castle:

• Game now uses Twitch display names instead of usernames.
  
• Region’s Schemes in the Overview are replaced with “In Rebellion” when the player rebels.
  
• Laws of the Land no longer shift position in UI when selected.
  
• Update to the title screen artwork and design.
  
• Improved UI for the Taxation screen Trade Bonus.
  
• New animations in the Customisation screen.
  
• Chur nerfing. Chnurfing.

We also have these features in the game:

• Coronations will now vary with different, random possible choices, including one special choice for a single Region.
  
• New Events: Castle Conspiracy, Saalish Assassin, An Island Dowry, and Strange Fossils.
  
• Further Misdeeds within stories to increase story reactivity.
  
• Six new artwork pieces for NPCs.
  
• Default premium customisations for Monarch and Noble characters.
  
• Claimants may now use premium customisations.

We’ve resolved the following bugs:

• Improvements to the Extension to address latency issues.
  
• Improvements to the Twitch reconnection system for lost connections
  
• Weighting for Premium Nobles in stories is now proportional to the number of players.
  
• Succession poll now includes all Nobles in the game.
  
• Bugs with customisations overlapping one another are resolved.
  
• Fixes to animations for all aspect ratios.
  
• Fixed Scheme reaction delay hints.

If you have any feedback join the Discord or post below! We have a hilarious, positive community that we’d love to expand even further, and your feedback is crucial to making King of the Castle even better.

Finally - I know we’ve mentioned this already, but don’t forget to wishlist the game. We’ve designed King of the Castle to be perfect for any board game group, D&D session, small online community, or those who love to scheme against their friends and family. You won’t regret it!

We did it! A year’s background work, plus three months’ crunch, and we’ve turned the page into Act V. December’s build is the biggest update we’ve ever done, in word count and file size and technical scope, and I hope you’re enjoying the hunt for all its many possibilities. On my side, I have been catching up on sleep, and getting the team ready for our next major undertaking - which is to finish what we’ve now begun.

Our first priority is to deliver the content that we wanted in for v500, but wasn’t finalised in time. That means the bulk of the Court Events for Chapter One, Naho’s catchups, and the continuation of Maelys’s redemption and damnation plotlines. These will arrive into the game as they’re finished, alongside fixes for all the more obscure bugs that have been shaken out since release.

Beyond that, we want to bring Chapter One to its conclusion. That means adding in some deep conversations with our various hordes and lair factions, plus more screentime for our minor characters - Balthorne, Chia, Enid, and others. We’re also going to be implementing some of the prompts voted upon by our Dreamweavers, which happen to include plenty of delicious Malice material.

That sounds like a lot, and it is. But fortunately, we’ve been met with a big surge in sales - which I can reinvest in the team, and our production. Most prominently: Mattrex, who you likely know from his work on Heloise and Malice, will be coming aboard as a full-time writer. Our sound engineer Spam has also been furnished with a budget for new sound effects and music. And we will see many more works from our splash artist Undoodle, our new editor DoItToJulia, and our countless voice actresses in the months to come.

Ravager and its team will continue to grow as our following does. Whether you’re a longtime fan or a fresh new face, you have yourself to credit for our success. So thank you, all - and here’s to a glorious year to come.
