Tastrion should now be more compatible with Steam Deck/Proton!

Bugfix: Hard Mode when waiting for the intro to end took you to easy mode instead.
Patch: Slight changes to few bosses in Hard Mode
Patch: Secret super weapon now can appear in two places so you have two chances of finding it in hard mode.

That's all for now. Thanks for enjoying my game!

Hello everyone,

Thank you so much for your support and feedback over the last months. I am happy to announce that I am currently working on Desert Kingdoms 2.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2956730/Desert_Kingdoms_2/

A lot of stuff is still placeholder art and it's still a long way to go but here are some features you can expect in Desert Kingdoms 2.

* Siege Weapons
* Mounted Units
* New Buildings, Town Walls
* Environmental dangers like Sandstorms or tornados
...

I would also like to include full Controller or Steamdeck support, but that's not my priority.

Thanks again and all the best!
Markus

• Updated The Parliament, which looks more minimalistic now.

The Political Machine 2024, the newest edition of its popular political strategy game series, released today. The game allows players to step into the shoes of presidential candidates, including Joe Biden, Donald Trump, Nikki Haley, Bill Clinton and countless other candidates from history, or create their own.

"The Political Machine 2024 presents itself as a game but has proven to be an accurate representation of players’ political leanings," said Brad Wardell, CEO of Stardock Entertainment. "Previous versions of the game have accurately predicted the outcome of past elections, such as the fact that Ohio would be the key state in 2004 and Trump’s victory in 2016.”

New to The Political Machine 2024 is the inclusion of the primaries in which several candidates compete for their party’s nomination. Presidential debates have also been added to allow players to test their knowledge of current events and how to gain favor with their political base.

While the game’s singleplayer AI plays with great savvy, Stardock has made sure that the game also remains a strong multiplayer game as well.

“In previous editions, players could play against each other one-on-one to win the White House,” said Wardell. “With the inclusion of primaries, several players of the same party can go at it. It’s a touch of mayhem.”

(Pre-order customers of The Political Machine 2024 get this DLC free)
With this DLC, your candidate can stand out on the campaign trail like never before. Don a Drengin Battle Armor to show strength, or charm voters with a touch of historical finesse in a Napoleonic hat. Take your image to new heights with an Astronaut outfit, or let your free spirit fly with an array of Crazy hair options.

Hi everyone! Got a highly requested feature for you this week!



The blood effects are now visible on every floor instead of just on the base floor.

This was a little bit more complicated than things usually are and that's because of the nature of how the blood system works, but now it's here! It does come with a little bit more of a hit on the GPU for video memory but I'm going to be working on some optimisations on that end soon.

I've also fixed a visual bug where glass windows were appearing over the top of the nuke visual effect.

Thanks for playing and I'll see you in the next update!

• Fixed an issue on Chapter 6 when playing as Seign
  
• Fixed an issue when attempting to switch characters in the runeshop
  
• General bug fixing and minor improvements

Beginning of the game, building the garden and getting some upgrades

We've rustled up some fixes, with more on the way, thank you so much for your love and support!
Here's a list of fixes for you!

• Key Binding Issues:
  
  • Previous bound keys are no longer removed. Note: There is still a 'replace' prompt screen that appears when trying to change a key binding already in use, but it will not replace it. Players can now assign keys wherever they wish. The 'replace' pop-up will be removed in the next patch, but for the current purposes, this issue is fixed.
  Controller Menu:
  
  • Players can now use the controller to select menu options with a button press, eliminating the need to navigate via the radial menu.
  Apple Spawn Rate Increase:
  
  • Increased the spawn rates of apples. Inconsistent spawns were leading to frustration, especially for the opening quest where players need to collect 3 apples. There should now be plentiful amounts available for players to complete the quest.
  Stickball Achievement:
  
  • Stickball achievement now works correctly.
  Log Spawning:
  
  • Logs now spawn on the ground, resolving floating log issues.

Please report any bugs or issues you encounter while playing the game here, and we will do our best to address them!

We have more fixes on the way so make sure to follow us here and on socials!
