Get ready to dive back into the medieval world of For the Crown with these exciting changes. Update your game on Steam now and let the kingdom-building adventure continue!

As a solo dev, sometimes testing can take a lot of time., especially if the game takes more than 40 hours to complete. Yesterday I found a few game breaking bugs towards the later part of the game. This means One of the NPCs not working as expected, and achievement system being broken. Fixing and testing those bugs will take me 1-2 weeks, which will make me miss the certification date (this is a part of the Steam process).

Missing the release date for Steam will also push the game closer to the Xbox release date, which is why I am now planning to release both on Xbox and Steam, which should be around End of Feb or Early March. For some people, this news is going to be disappointing. I understand that. A lot of people make their schedule around release of a game, including me. I would like to apologize for the delay. But I would like to give this community a good game in working condition than a broken game.

As for the new release date, I will be updating this community in the coming days.

+ Longer Music Tracks.
+ New EDM Cool Down Bar.
+ Quality of life changes.

Hi all,


After fixing a boatload of bugs and wiring various things together, the new game flow is finally feature complete! This means a player can actually fully start a new game and get into the travel gameplay portion of Journey Express.

The next step is finishing the flow between [Travel Scene] <---> [Exploration Scene]. The main features that need to work are:

• Maintain consistent time of day from [Travel Scene] ---> [Exploration Scene].
  
• Finish testing weather & season features within [Exploration Scene].
  
• Track changes to inventory between [Travel Scene] <---> [Exploration Scene]. Need to be able to bring items back from exploring and add them to the travel inventory.

Thanks!

Hey survivors! We're here with a quick update on some of the top priorities keeping us busy in the trenches throughout early 2024. As always, a smooth and enjoyable ARK experience is our main goal, and we're laser-focused on tackling three key areas:

1. Server Performance: We hear you loud and clear on server performance. We're relentlessly optimizing the server infrastructure to ensure silky-smooth gameplay. Expect continued improvements throughout January, and know that we're constantly monitoring and tweaking to make the Official Network stable.

2. Exploits and Hacks: No one enjoys being disrupted by unfair play. We're actively battling exploits and hacks with a vengeance, deploying new detection and prevention measures at a frequent and regular cadence. We'll keep you posted on our progress, and remember, report any violations to the Code of Conduct to our enforcement team here. Your reports are invaluable in keeping ARK a fair and enjoyable experience for all.

3. Network Movement: Improving network movement for both characters and dinos is a top priority. Expect continued improvement throughout the month of January and going forward.


Full server transfers on official servers across all platforms will be enabled on the 24th January. Once enabled, players will be able to download items and creatures onto the map without restriction.

We will also launch some fresh non-transfer Official PvP servers at this time and we’ll share more info on those prior.


We're thrilled to announce that a SOTF dev kit update will be released by mid next week. Craft custom arenas, create devious new battle-royale style game modes, and sculpt the ultimate battlegrounds where your fellow ARK survivors will fight to see who will be the ultimate survivor! Gather your coding cohorts, fire up your imaginations and show the community what you can do!


By the end of this month, we're unleashing a colossal-sized dev kit update that'll put the power of unbridled game creation directly in your hands. Imagine it: crafting not just ARK mods, but entire custom Unreal Engine games to be made available inside ASA.

Want to build a Mario-esque rampage through Crystal Isles? Go for it! Dream of a PvP arena where Tek Rexes joust against Spinos? Buckle up. This dev kit update will come with a completely playable Mario-inspired platformer example to help show you the ropes, but your imagination is the true architect. Design custom main menus, host and browse your own multiplayer game sessions from within the mod, and even create a mod that progresses (seamless travel) from one level to the next – the sandbox is officially yours to play in. Get ready to unleash your inner game dev, push the limits of ARK's potential, and build experiences that will leave the community speechless. We can't wait to see what you cook up!



Mark your calendars for the end of February! The Center and Gigantoraptor make a grand debut! The Center is a sprawling, diverse map that will redefine your ARK experience. Lush jungles teem with hidden secrets, treacherous ice peaks pierce the sky, and crystalline caverns beckon with untold treasures.

Towering above the horizon comes the Gigantoraptor, a feathered behemoth unlike anything ever seen. Whether you choose to tame this gentle giant or respect its territorial might, the Gigantoraptor's arrival will forever alter the delicate balance of power on The Center.



The searing sands of Scorched Earth will arrive on April 1st, bringing along a taste of sun-baked survival unlike any you've known. Brace yourselves for an unforgiving desert where every oasis is a hard-won prize and every sandstorm a test of your grit. Don your rugged frontier leather chaps, customize your base with western-themed structures, and tame the ultimate desert steed: the Fasolasuchus.

But hold on, pardners’ 🤠, that's not all! April 1st also sees the debut of the Frontier Adventure Pack, a DLC treasure trove of desert-themed goodies that'll make you the envy of any wasteland wanderer. And did we mention trains!? Build train tracks that crisscross the scorching landscape, choo-choo your way past sandworms, and create your own Wild West-style dino raids.


Strap yourselves in, because Winter Wonderland was just the first snowflake in a blizzard of freshly-designed ARK events coming your way in 2024! Whether it's Love Evolved or Eggcellent Adventures, we’re planning plenty of new event content!


ARK Survival Ascended will be going live on PlayStation in Japan later in January! We’ll follow up with the details in a future Community Crunch.

That’s about it for the time being. Keep your feedback, bug reports, player reports and suggestions coming; they’re invaluable to us!





Download & play new custom content created by players, including new maps, creatures, items, and game modes, through a dedicated new Mod-bowser directly within the game. Enjoy an endless stream of new ARK content as the creativity and talent of the community is fully unleashed for the first time across gaming platforms and stay tuned as we spotlight more Cross-Platform Mods each week!

During Extra Life 2023, we hosted a draw along with Clayton and Svala, where chat votes determined the prompts. Clayton's final drawing had to be a unique creature, blending an axolotl head, unicorn horn, ringed-lemur tail, armadillo body, bat wings, T-rex limbs, bioluminescence, and a habitat on Aberration. This collaboration showcased the incredible power of collective creativity in our community. Here is Clayton's final product!

Hello! Hope everyone is doing well.

I've been checking out your feedback both in reviews and in our Discord server: https://discord.com/invite/779FCkeeWT


The Shopkeeper was too unreliable with healing, and in other cases was too generous. An obvious fix to this was to introduce an entirely new Healer NPC.

Some path choices didn't make sense, offering you Tier 1 Relics or... Tier 1 Relics? So, now that Tier 2 Relics have been introduced, these paths have a proper difference.

Here's the changelog:

• At Area 7, you'll choose between a Shopkeeper and a new Healer NPC. The Healer sells nothing but healing items. Due to this change, the Shopkeeper no longer sells healing items.
  
• Added new Tier 2 Relics:
  
• - Twisted Scythe
  
• - Rain Boots
  
• - Charred Ornament
  
• - Death Caps
  
• - Tumultuous Topaz
  
• - Broken Marionette
  
• - Essence of Fate
  
• - Fang Necklace
  
• - Encircling Charms
  
• - Companion Weapon
  
• - Umbrella
  
• - Encouraging Puppet
  
• - Bullseye
  
• - Old Knight Trinket
  
• - Sticky Syrup
  
• - Traveler's Backpack
  
• - Bright Idea

• Enemy skills that don't only apply Slow or Root now also inflict direct damage. This means most enemy skills will now break Barriers.
  
• Final Spark has had its damage reduced from 20 to 10. This skill is likely still very strong, but hopefully a little less outright totally overpowered now.
  
• Greed is Good now caps out at a bonus of 20 damage.
  
• Adjusted Barrier images so that they aren't entirely covered by the dash recharge bar.
  
• Increased Hero HP by 75%. Upon fixing the bug last patch that gave the Hero too much HP, he now has too little. Finding a middle ground is surprisingly difficult!
  
• Cube Slime Elite enemy now charges up their jump attack much faster and jumps at a faster speed. This should make them more dangerous.
  
• Elite enemies in Zone 2 now move faster and have more HP. They're supposed to be dangerous, this will hopefully bring them more in line with that.
  
• Greed is Good Skill Tree node now has a cost of 2 instead of 1.
  
• Your data is now saved when exiting the Skill Tree.
  
• The cost of healing items in the Healer NPC are much more expensive.

• EXP gained from the Boss would not be kept when moving onto another Zone.
  
• Some Relic effects were still being kept when restarting your run.

Let me know if you find any more bugs or have some feedback or criticism. It's helping me make the game the best it could be.

Thank you, and as always, stay awesome.
