Dear nobles,

Playtest 1.0.2.8d version of the Noble's Life: Kingdom Reborn alpha has been released!

# Audience

• Improved character collisions during the audience in the third month (M3). This should potentially reduce this problem with characters walking into each other and blocking each other and audiences.
  
• Improved camera movement in third month (M3) dialogues,
  
• The peasant woman from the looted village, Guillemette, from M2 should appear in M3 if the player commanded her to do so.
  
• In the conversation with merchant Jaques, options to give him grain when we don't have any should not appear (the lord is not going to go into debt).
  
• Priest Simon should correctly return to the audience when the player so decides. Unfortunately, there may still be bugs in his return dialogue, which will be fixed in the next patch.

# City

• Peasant Pierre and the refugees associated with him should correctly respond to the choices the player made in the first month's audience (M1).
  
• Consul's son Jehan should correctly respond to the choices the player made in first month audience (M1).
  
• Minor corrections to the dialogues of the background townsfolk.

# Castle

• Guiscard should no longer try unsuccessfully to enter the audience room through the locked door. We force the door to open first.
  
• Hiding redundant choices (e.g. Guiscard at the beginning of M2 and the two options with the map question).

# Map

• The levitating lord's hands will no longer remain level when the player exits map mode.

# Graphics

• Improved collision, which will allow enable player to enter the warehouse.

# Audio

• The hammer sound has disappeared from M1. In fact, the hammer sounds have been removed from the entire game. They will return in the next patch, but only to places where they actually should be, e.g. to workers rebuilding the inn.

# Other

• Talking to Roland's sergeant in the courtyard in M2 will no longer overwrite the player's decision from M1.
  
• Minor corrections of typos and graphics.

Known major bugs we are working on:

• The blocking of the third audience, and in the first place problems with Father Simon when he is sent away to return later. Further problems with merchant Jaques and peasant Jacob returning during the third audience.
  
• Dialogues in the city that don't work, including the lack of character response to our decisions from the first audience.

Hello Incrementalists,

For v1.1, a new experience has been added to the final level of Increment, the "breathing orb"! Breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth on a gently guided meditation with the soothing sounds and pulsing colors of the breathing orb.



If you've already completed Increment, you should be able to load directly into the final area of the game and get right into the soul-soothing, breathing action via an auto-save in Slot 1 in the hand menu!

Hello everyone,

In our Discord, I've already mentioned that in November, during testing with our internal testers, we encountered two issues - the routine actions of lords and the poorly functioning global map with few events. While these problems are not critical, we decided that we should address them and then retest the game to ensure a maximally enjoyable gaming experience at all stages. This led us to make some adjustments to our plans and postpone the game's release to January. We could have possibly tried to release it at the end of December or the beginning of January, but this period is considered the worst time for a release in the year.

On the other hand, we have arguments in favor of not having indefinite delays.

Firstly, we have finished adding new mechanics to the game, and we are now focusing solely on debugging, interfaces, combat tactics, and overall quality.

Secondly, we know how to solve these problems, and we do not see anything critical that would affect the game's overall architecture. Furthermore, we have already resolved the issue with the routine actions of lords, and a new global map is in the works - we need a week to finish and test it internally. After that, we will commence the promised playtests, and based on their results, we will announce the release date and begin the pre-release advertising campaign.

We regret that it has come to this, but these are complex games, and the current market situation, where the fate of a game depends on initial reviews, forces us to be very cautious. Ultimately, the situation with delays (not only for us but for all small teams) would be different if players left positive reviews like "This game may have flaws, but at least it was released on time. Keep it up, guys! I recommend it!" So please be patient. Thank you.

• We doubled their lifespan while slowing down the acquisition of experience from actions and the chances of illness. At the same time, we kept the speed of knowledge acquisition, pregnancy chances, and other factors. This way, lords will have more time to learn new technologies, of which there are now more than a hundred (by the way, we keep adding new ones - recently we added the "Logistics" knowledge, which speeds up the movement of your squads on the map). We didn't increase their lifespan too much to maintain the generational dynamics.
  
• We also automated the education of children. Now you have the option of "General Education," where your chosen teacher will teach the child all skills in a row, starting with those they have talent for. By the way, bishops can now also teach, but it requires a good relationship with them.
  
• We made the Chancellery knowledge available for purchase almost at the start. This way, you can choose between economic efficiency and free time for lords almost from the beginning.
  
• We also revamped the inspection system. They always lasted for three days, but lords would visit them every day, giving instructions "for the future." Now they visit them every other day, giving them more freedom. The duration of instruction actions is displayed in buildings, in "royal overview" mode, in the lords' menu (it shows the time when the nearest instructions will stop being effective), and the hourglass icon on the lord's portrait indicates that they have no management-related tasks for the day, allowing you to assign them to other tasks.

Our internal testers have positively evaluated these changes, so it seems the issue is closed.

We thank Hannibalingus, PotioN, bliden, and vangolla for their help in identifying the problem and devising solutions.

Regarding what we did with the global map, I will tell you more later when it is also approved by the guys. For now, I will share information about other small changes we made in November, aside from the major cultural mechanics that I already talked about last time.

In the world of city builders and strategies, there aren't many games where characters have time for conversations. Therefore, we taught our characters to voice their dialogues, which had a good immersion effect. It works when the camera is zoomed in, so there won't be a cacophony of sounds. It's somewhat similar to Simlish, but it's actually a distorted Welsh language in which actors read excerpts from Darwin's Origin of Species.



We have started implementing building rotations. For now, it's only for residential buildings (although they make up 90% of city construction), but cities already look more lifelike, with real squares and streets.



This menu, "inspired" by CK3, is designed for those who get lost in the multitude of mechanics and don't know what to do next. It highlights current issues, moves the camera when clicked, and explains how to solve them. Don't know what to do next? Follow the advice menu. We thank Gironimo for the suggestion to create this menu.



We've moved away from traits that were granted based on a character's childhood outcomes, as this mechanic was not intuitive and felt too routine. Instead, this whole bunch of traits has become genetically inheritable from the character's father and mother. You will also see from whom exactly the character inherited a particular trait. By the way, talents are also inherited, so choose a bride for your heir carefully!



Now characters don't instantly die of old age; they spend a few days in bed before passing away. When this happens with the king, strong mutual animosity arises between the heir and the second-in-line (the second heir) - as the king is helpless and cannot punish anyone, the second heir is strongly tempted to seize the crown, and the current heir suspects them of this. Tragic events can unfold!

Now your relationship with the church is more complex. The bishop's opinion of your king is just one of the factors. The Matriarch also looks at the number of fanatics, your actions on the map, sinfulness, and so on. At low relations, all fanatics in the city receive a significant mood debuff, and the caravan's assortment of goods also depends on this. For example, you will have a choice - either produce advanced weapons yourself or improve relations with the Matriarch up to 50.

Children until they reach adulthood now live in a house with their mother, and you can also evict and move any lord into any house.

We have also expanded and revamped the training system, as it had become outdated since the summer demo version.

And we are also redesigning all building interfaces, character interfaces (including creating an event log menu), and cities. Here is what our Figma workspace looks like.



That's all for now; stay tuned, it's going to be interesting. In the coming weeks, aside from the global map, I will also talk about the game's lore and combat tactics, which we have been working on during these months.

Dmitriy.
