Kingdom: Classic news & patch notes

Everyone knows the coolest decade was the 1980’s, right? The coolest cartoons, the coolest movies, the coolest TV shows. And Kingdom is the coolest indie strategy series out there. So, how about we put all that cool stuff together… Raw Fury and Developer Fury Studios are excited to reveal the newest title of the award-winning Kingdom-Series: Kingdom Eighties, a story driven love letter to 1980’s Americana, but which is still very much a Kingdom game. Wishlist today and be RADICAL: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1956040/Kingdom_Eighties/ When the mysterious Greed threatens a small middle-American town, a rag-tag band of brave kids are dragged in to an epic struggle of seemingly insurmountable odds to save their families, their neighborhood and their town. Kingdom Eighties is a newly developed game within the popular Kingdom-series and will surprise experienced players, newcomers to the series, as well as anyone that remembers sitting around in their pajamas on a Saturday morning in front of the television. Kingdom Eighties will be released on the coolest platforms later this year. To learn more about Kingdom visit the official website: https://www.kingdomthegame.com/

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32967186/2d8bcebea6a7d65cd3cd40011113b8048221cf98.png The Kingdom series is celebrating its 4th anniversary on October 21st! It all started with Thomas van den Berg wanting to learn animation. His first goal: animate a horse. From this task spawned new goals, such as putting somebody on top of the horse, and giving them things to do and interact with. The person became a monarch. The land became populated with people, one thing kept leading to another, and soon Kingdom was born. Since it’s inception, the Kingdom series has grown beyond our wildest imagination with over 6 million units across multiple games and platforms. And this is only the beginning, for the path ahead, just like the sheen of a monarch’s crown, is a bright one! Game Director Gordon Van Dyke has grand, or dare we say even royal plans for the series. Join Gordon and us on October 21st at 16:00 UTC / 18:00 CEST / 9:00AM PDT for a celebration of the past and the future of Kingdom with a livestream at www.twitch.tv/rawfurygames and on the Steam page for Kingdom Two Crowns. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32967186/e54ac240376aa712524c4c162028bdba742e5560.gif

We want to hear from you!

The Kingdom series has touched many players and made them become true monarchs. Do you have a personal story, fond memory or funny moment of Kingdom that you want to share? The stories that are read up during the livestream will be rewarded with a Dire Wolf or Griffin t-shirt! And be sure to tune in, there will be other giveaways during the stream. NOTE. COMPETITION IS CLOSED, THANKS FOR ALL ENTRIES! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32967186/40cd29f07a3c3e2f51f4e746210197997eaa2ab8.png

The long-awaited day has finally come: Kingdom Two Crowns, the next full-fledged evolution of the Kingdom franchise, is now available on Steam! https://youtu.be/GnqjjY38anQ Kingdom (now lovingly called Kingdom: Classic) was the first game we ever published, a simultaneously wonderful and terrifying experiment as we ventured into indie publishing for the first time, and being able to continue building upon that inaugural success years later has been a dream. As the fans and players of the original Kingdom: Classic, we’re excited to show you some of the great new stuff and we’re confident you’ll feel right at home in Two Crowns. BEFORE I CONTINUE Many fans of Kingdom know that the joy is in the discovery and learning for one’s self. There are also those who want to know how this is different from Classic, especially if you never had a chance to play Kingdom: New Lands (the follow up to Classic). To help with both, we’ll make the below list spoiler-marked on sensitive content.

KINGDOM TWO CROWNS FAQ

IS THIS A BRAND-NEW GAME OR AN EXPANSION TO NEW LANDS? This is a full, brand-new Kingdom game, built from the ground up to offer a fresh new experience that is still very much Kingdom to the core. We’ve added many new features, including the Japanese inspired Shogun setting, the first of many upcoming themed settings that enhance and alter the Kingdom experience both in style and strategy. I DIDN’T PLAY NEW LANDS, WHAT CHANGES SHOULD I EXPECT? Kingdom: Classic was very much a survival mode with the one goal of destroying portals on one solitary procedurally generated land. New Lands enhanced this by adding new NPCs called hermits, new mounts besides just the horse, and multiple lands each with increasing difficulty instead of just the one land experienced in Classic. Two Crowns takes all of this another gigantic step forward with additional mounts, an entirely new endgame, and a new campaign style gameplay that doesn’t make you start from scratch if you die. IS IT STILL A ROGUELIKE/ROGUELITE? We’ve moved away from the roguelike experience and toward a full campaign experience. Now all of the lands will be a part of your greater kingdom, with progress that will maintain over time (you just have to repair any of the erosion). IS THERE CO-OP? Yes! The campaign can be played either single player or local/online co-op on Steam. IF I LOSE MY CROWN, DO I HAVE TO START OVER? Losing your crown in Two Crowns is not the end. You will resume play in the new reign as your descendent who has inherited what remains of your ancestor’s kingdom. You will need to repair the erosion and recruit your followers again, but this can be done at a significantly faster rate, allowing you to pick up where you left off and explore further. ARE THERE STILL UPGRADES? DO THEY STILL WORK THE SAME? Yes, many of the familiar upgrades are still here, along with some new ones - but how you unlock them has changed. Now you will be required to venture to new islands to discover different upgrades and return to the previous islands in order to use them. HOW DO SEASONS WORK IN TWO CROWNS? DOES WINTER END? Seasons rotate regularly, so surviving through winter into spring is possible; you just have to build your economy to enable you to last. Seasons do not reset when you leave an island though, so be mindful of when you choose to settle a new land! IS THE KINGDOM STILL SECURED BY BUILDING THE BOAT AND LEAVING THE ISLAND? Hahahaha. That’s cute. Not even close. You’ll have to find the technology that allows you to defeat the Greed for good, but even we’re not going to spoil that part.

E3 is less than two weeks away now and that's where we're going to be revealing Kingdom: New Lands. We've done some small teases here and there, but expect a bunch of new info to hit then. In the mean time here's a few things you should know about New Lands: – It’s an expansion, and it adds a bunch of content and a new win condition while keeping the same core gameplay and simplicity. – If you own Kingdom before New Lands launches this summer, you’ll get New Lands at no charge. – If secret beta testing has told us anything, it’s that even if you’re a Kingdom vet you’ll still have a lot of things to puzzle out. – We don’t intend on spoiling a lot, just like we didn’t spoil things the first time around, because we want players to be able to discover things on their own. If you’re at E3, come visit us at IndieCade @ E3! We’ll be in the South Hall at booth #623. Oh and here's a picture of a new creature. Wonder if you can ride it ...

WHO LIKES TEASES?! New Lands. It's coming. Soon.

First we just wanted to give a big thank you to ALL the fans who helped us out during the open beta for Kingdom update v1.2.0. The open beta changes are now ready for everyone to experience! The feedback has helped us deliver the best version of the game yet. Will your kingdom thrive, or will the new challenges be too much for your loyal citizens? We’ve done a ton of fixes, changes, and gameplay tweaks to the game, all detailed below.

Gameplay updates

• All characters can now run. They will run if they need to get to a job, or run away if they are threatened by enemies.
• The AI has had a complete overhaul, it should process much faster and with less glitches. This means game runs significantly smoother under most conditions, even late in the game when many enemies show up.
• New menu with more options: change sound / music volume separately. Allow change zoom level if available.
• Collision resolution has been improved to decrease lag with many coins.
• Saving (by quitting the game) is possible at night and in combat.
• Borders aren't moved while a wall is under construction. This means archers will stay in position while walls are upgraded.
• Knights will retreat to an intact wall if the outer wall takes too much damage.
• Knight attack procedure makes them more consistent.
• Overhaul for the boss monster.
• Many, many fixes for bugs from the forums.
• New (faster) horses.

Changes

• Enemy boulders damage maximum of 5 citizens
• Make archers always run when redistributing
• Portals stay closed longer before spawning
• Workers won't work on things too close to a spawner
• Deer are no longer scared of unarmed citizens
• Final Wave no longer increases in difficulty before day 100, and is no longer easier before day 30.
• Adjusted enemies to bit a bit more threatening for earlier (day 20 and earlier) Blood Moons.
• Reduced Fliers in several waves and delayed their introduction to a later Blood Moon Event
• Only during the first Blood Moon when players encounter the Breeder is it alone.
• Slight tweaks to Portal collapse waves.

Fixes

• Prevent load crash with incomplete teleporter
• Prevent paying twice for border banner knight charge
• Limit troll speed depending on wave, preventing them from arriving early
• Fix shops disappearing after save/load during construction

The update is live right now. So jump on in, and let us know what you think! How long until your Kingdom is safe? To access the previous version of KINGDOM (v1.1.0), find Kingdom in your Steam library, right-click and select "Properties". From there find the BETAS tab. Once in the BETAS tab select "v1.1.0" in the opt in dropdown list. To go back to the new build (v1.2.0), repeat these steps and select "NONE - opt out of all betas" from the same drop down list on the BETAS tab. Also, all saves will remain for the previous version (v1.1.0) and for the new-current version (v1.2.0). FYI - there is no code required to switch between these.
