As we bid farewell to the month of October, it's time to conclude the #Pinktober2023 campaign for this year. Let's take a look at its impact and success.


Over the entire month, we were dedicated to raising awareness about breast cancer. Whether through our live streams on Twitch or the reminders on our social media, we aimed to keep our community informed. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who participated in this year's campaign, whether by tuning in to our broadcasts or sharing kind messages on social media using the special paint jobs from the DLCs. These seemingly small steps play a crucial role in the ongoing battle against this dangerous disease.


Thanks to the incredible support from the #BestCommunityEver, the total amount raised from the sales of the Pink Ribbon paint job packs is a staggering 55,000 USD! This sum is truly remarkable, and we extend our gratitude to each and every one of you. We believe that contributing the entire amount to the Alliance of Women with Breast Cancer will make a significant difference to those in need.


However, let's not forget that supporting such causes can be a year-round commitment. While donations are crucial, there are various ways to join the fight. Spreading awareness and reminding your loved ones about the importance of regular health checks matter the most. Our health should always be a top priority, and these are messages we should all keep in mind.

A heartfelt thank you for your unwavering effort and support!

Thank you for your interest and questions about our farming basics update! There are too many questions to answer them all, but here are answers to the ones that were most popular. You will be able to see everything for yourself very soon when the update goes on the public beta branch!


You can construct fields of various sizes and position them in any orientation.


Yes, nearly all plants on the map, including herbs, can be cultivated. We plan to expand the list of crops in the future.


Weather influences crop growth; for instance, rain waters the fields. Certain plants have specific planting seasons, while others can be sown in multiple seasons.


Yes. If space is limited, you have the option to establish more villages.


Currently, only you can work in a field. With the upcoming update, we'll integrate dynasty management, allowing you to assign workers to fields.


As of now, you need to complete the new Aratani quest to unlock field recipes. We are currently working on progression systems that will affect how and when you unlock stuff. This is a top priority and will significantly evolve gameplay in upcoming updates.


No, currently soil doesn’t affect your fields.


Definitely. We have paddy fields and constructing them on slopes results in terraced designs.


Both options are available. Seed bags, essential for planting, can be crafted using leather and seeds/plants. Alternatively, purchasing them is a quick way to commence your farming.


No animals for now, but we plan to add some in the future.


Yes, that is a future special project location related to farming. Expect it one of the upcoming updates.


We plan to add more events and randomized content to the game in general, and it will also affect farming.


Yes, we plan to add features like growing your own trees, bushes, and other plants not included in farming to the game in the future.


No such hazards yet. Random events and real time obstacles are going to be added in the future.

The Farming Update is now live on Public Stage


It is the modus operandi of working with a second version of the game, on which new patches and updates can be applied and tested before they are integrated into the regular live version of the game. This means that one or more updates can first be tested before they are made available to all players in Early Access.

Some of you probably have not done this before, so we have a small guide:

Prerequisite:
You must have Sengoku Dynasty in your library – obviously.

The procedure

• Open your game library.
  
• Right click on Sengoku Dynasty.
  
• Open properties.
  
• Select the tab "BETAS".*
  
• Enter this password into the field below the drop-down menu: 6RmK07O5em39LFLj1e4OvZGlrQ7OqI
  
• Click on "CHECK CODE".
  
• Use the drop-down menu and select “releasecandidate“. This is the public stage version.
  
• Click on "Close".
  
• Steam should now download this version of the game.

IMPORTANT! PLEASE SAVE YOUR GAME ON THE LIVE VERSION AS A BACKUP COPY BEFORE ACCESSING THE PUBLIC STAGING BUILD!

This is merely a precautionary measure in the very unlikely event that anything goes wrong!
The saves can be found under this path:

%USERPROFILE%/AppData/Local/SengokuDynasty/Saved/

Copy the entire folder into a zip file or store a copy somewhere else on your hard drive.

*Steam labels all those builds as "betas” even if they are technically not betas, don’t let it confuse you!
