ROADMAP FULL LIST OF UPDATES PATREON IMPORTANT 1) Please, feel free to use built-in bug reporter (F11) - it will help development a lot. 2) If something is broken make sure you have verified game files and started new world, remember -KINGDOMS is still EA, I try to make saves compatibility for every new version of the game, but can't guarantee it all the time. 3) The game is still in development, it's NOT finished product, updates are coming 3-4 times a week and that will inevitably cause various issues. Updates for game in development and for finished game - are two absolutely different things, remember that. Game mechanics come and gone, bugs are being fixed and new ones appear all the time. Its a normal thing for development process. If you want to experience KINGDOMS as it was initially designed - smooth, without bugs and full of working mechanics - please, wait till final version will be out. 4) You can support development of KINGDOMS on my official Patreon page.

Welcome, lords and ladies of KINGDOMS! As it was announced last week today's update will finally add marriage proposals for the player. Player can ask about marriage if relationship is higher than 50. Gaining nobility or title will work for the player the same way they work for the AI - if someone from the couple is noble - after marriage both will become noble. When making a proposal player can also choose place to live - in players last build house (in that case wife/husband will change their settlement and join the one where family house is build) or in AI house. If player will flirt with someone when already having a family - relationship and friendship with in the family will decrease. According to roadmap next update will improve in-family dialogs a bit, plus I'm working at family quests at the moment, so stay tuned and watch for KINGDOM's updates! CHANGES

• If couple is a noble, player will also become a noble;
• Couple will get players title if having lower title previously;
• If player is flirting with someone when having a family, relationship and friendship with partner will decrease;

FIXES

I know, that many of you asked about this feature, so here we are. 2) Some tweaks in archery - I've changed physical mass of most arrows and this increased their speed and trajectory calculation - this should improve hunting with a bow a bit.

Welcome, lords and ladies of KINGDOMS! Before we'll finally jump to marriage proposals, I want to polish, balance and finish recently introduced relationship system, so this is what todays update will be about. Plus I've fixed some couples bugs there and there, because all couples mechanics that are already working for AI should work the same way for the player and this experience should be smooth as well. First addition I want to mention is the second way to increase relationship - conversation. Now player can talk with settler about various topics. Each settler has favorite and hated topics, and that will have effect on final result. In order to balance and make relationship system more or less realistic player can talk about topics and send gift only once a day. Nobility from both sides also affects conversation's result. Also question about favorite stuff were balanced - now player can't learn everything from start (only with high Scholar perks), given info now depends on relationship number. Now, to the proposals - today I've worked on their preparations a bit - moved players couple to player's house, everything seems working fine, so the next content update will finally (!) add marriage proposals. So, that's it for today - nave a nice play and see you on Friday already! CHANGES

• There are 6 topics to talk about - politics, family, business, fighting, craft and travelling;
• Scholar line perks now used to learn about settlers favorite/hated items/topics;

• To learn about disliked item player should have at least 10 relationship or Scrivener perk;
• To learn about liked topic player should have at least 15 relationship or Scrollmaster perk;
• To learn about liked item player should have at least 20 relationship or Wiseman perk;
• New non-cyclic quest was added - "Talk to farmer about the island";
• Player can gain -5, -2, 1, 2 or 5 relationship when talking to the settler;
• Player can talk about various topics with a settler once a day;
• Player can send only one gift a day;

FIXES

Welcome, lords and ladies of KINGDOMS! Now, when we can finally add new items to the updates (more about it can be found here) I decided to make a little more preparations before marriage proposals, plus I wanted to make some stuff from the game world interactable for soooo long time already, so I just couldn't resist:) From now on player (and AI characters as well) can gather crystals from the caves and use then in jewelry. Yes, right, in jewelry - I've added 4 new crafting recipes for rings - they'll be used very-very soon. AI can use all new stuff already - mine crystals, sell it, blacksmiths can craft rings and sell it as well. Also, few most reported bugs were fixed. Most annoying one - animals clipping through ground when killed. Second to mention - flying settlers, when player was more than 50m away, so no more flights to stratosphere. The rest of the fixes follows. In the next update I want to make some cosmetic, but very important change - rework most of settlers animations, used both in exterior and in interior. I've prepared all needed stuff for that, so everything should go smoothly. Downside - marriage proposals are moving to next week, but I'm sure that new animations are 100% worth it - game really needs it:) So, that's it, see you this Wednesday already! CHANGES

• Now player can gather crystals in caves;
• New craftable items were added: iron ring, iron ring with crystal, steel ring, steel ring with crystal - can be crafted in blacksmiths;

• Settlers can gather and sell crystals in shops;
• Blacksmith now can craft rings and sell them in shops;

• Fixed issue when perks description font size wasn't small enough to show full list of buildings possible to make;
• Fixed issue when settler could fly in the air when being 50m away from the player;
• Fixed issue when settler could sing into the ground sometimes;
• Fixed issue when animal could clip under the ground after death. not it will count parallel position;

• Fixed issue when player had to finish each "talk to leader" quest individually, which led to various quest errors, i.e. taking quest to destroy bandits lair, when it was already destroyed etc.
• Now player can't exit dialog with ESC button in the middle of quest dialog - exiting with esc caused various quests bugs;
• Fixed issue when level of friendship didn't change when finishing "talk to leader" quests;
• Fixed issue when settlers couldn't properly use animation places when travelling from one settlement to another;

Welcome, lords and ladies of KINGDOMS! Another Friday has come and new pack of fixes has arrived! Before saying few words about fixes I want to thank all the player who is actively reporting game bugs using in-game tool (Found a bug? - Press F11 and report it!) - your help is really very important for KINGDOMS development and I really appreciate your efforts, friends! And now few words about bugs: The most reported bug of this week (after females mouths were fixed:)) was door physics bug. Physics bugs are always most complicate ones, because physics is basically unpredictable and hard to control thing, so I really hope that this annoying issue is gone. Second one is settlers flipping through floors. Most of the time it happens right after loading, this one was tricky one but everything is working fine. Still happens though, but not that often - so still on the list of polishing. As for gameplay changes. I've added new activity for gatherers-settlers - now they can gather flowers and sell them in shops. Next week we'll start with marriage proposals, make sure you've picked enough flowers near your settlements! See you next week! CHANGES

• Small balancing - all meat-eaters spawn was removed from starting location and moved deeper into the island;

FIXES

• Fixed issue when stamina was regenerating when chopping;

ROADMAP FULL LIST OF UPDATES PATREON IMPORTANT 1) Please, feel free to use built-in bug reporter (F11) - it will help development a lot. 2) If something is broken make sure you have verified game files and started new world, remember -KINGDOMS is still EA, I try to make saves compatibility for every new version of the game, but can't guarantee it all the time. 3) The game is still in development, it's NOT finished product, updates are coming 3-4 times a week and that will inevitably cause various issues. Updates for game in development and for finished game - are two absolutely different things, remember that. Game mechanics come and gone, bugs are being fixed and new ones appear all the time. Its a normal thing for development process. If you want to experience KINGDOMS as it was initially designed - smooth, without bugs and full of working mechanics - please, wait till final version will be out. 4) You can support development of KINGDOMS on my official Patreon page. Thanks for your support, see you very soon! Cyfieithydd

Welcome, lords and ladies of KINGDOMS! Today's update will add to the game new resource type - flowers. There are 9 types of different flowers that can be found in the wild. Later they'll be used for couples interaction and various craft - i.e. in alchemy. Adding new item was very important step - development-wise - and I'll explain why. Previously adding any type of new item required new game from the player - old saves just didn't work anymore. Items lists were used in too many scripts - prices calculation, loot, trading, AI crafting, farming - etc.etc. and all these lines were written into save. To fix this issue some areas of save script needed to be completely rewritten. With current update schedule (3 update a week with planned new items on the roadmap) this issue should have been fixed asap, so here we are. For now on I can (finally!) add new items and this won't break saves - old ones will work perfectly. Some of you could think "And what?" but I really worked on this issue for a long time and finding the solution was a small victory. We're on track, so more updates are coming! CHANGES

• 9 New flowers were added to vegetation: Bouncing Bet Cornflower Emperor's Wort Poppy Chicory Chamomile Brown Ray Knapweed Goldenrod Sunroot
• Each plant recovers 1 HP - not much, I tried to stay realistic here;
• New item - bouquet - was added;
• Player can craft bouquet right from the inventory;
• Main screen logo was replaced;

FIXES

• Fixed issue when player couldn't pick up quest "Farmer asks to kill a wolf";
• Fixed issue when player's save could got broken if there were too many stored items on horse's back;
• Fixed issue when prices in shops weren't correctly calculated sometimes - AI traders perks weren't properly loaded to formula;
• Fixed issue when "Buy" and "Sell" parameters in shops weren't saved correctly sometimes;
• Fixed issue when game couldn't be loaded when new item was added;

Welcome, lords and ladies of KINGDOMS! It's Friday and it's time to fix bugs! Before we'll go to the fixes I would like to comment some gameplay changes that this update will add. First one is a siege change. Now during the sieges non-aggressive civilians will run for their lives and hide inside houses - no more burning settlers who is buying stuff in the tavern during sieges. Another change is map navigation, and first of all - max zooming. Now max map zoom really makes sense and let you to see settlements, not only ugly island name. Plus angle and max zoom values were changed. And the last thing is blacksmith perks progression - I saw a discussion in the community - and balanced blacksmith perks a bit by decreasing points, that a needed for progression. And as usual - I'll never be tired of repeating this! - thanks to all the players who is reporting bugs! Your help is priceless, friends - each report (f11) makes KINGDOMS a bit closer to the game it will eventually become, so thank you! Have a nice weekend! CHANGES

• Now civilians behave more naturally during siege - run into the houses and hide there;
• Fear animations were added for civilians;
• Run animation of AI was replaced with better one;
• Perk progression for blacksmith perks was balanced a bit - perks needed for progression were decreased (5, 10, 25, 50, 75);
• Settlements font size on the global map was decreased a bit;
• Quest "Settler asks to kill a racoon" was added;

FIXES

• Overall global map performance was increased a bit;

Welcome, lords and ladies of KINGDOMS! According to the roadmap today's update is about AI nicknames, so here we go! For now on settlers can have unique nicknames that depends either on their appearance (i.e. "Kissed by Fire" for red haired, or "The Rock" for tall people) or on their perks (i.e. the Ranger for best hunter etc.). "Perk-nickname" is given to settlers with highest possible perk in the line, so now it will be a bit easier to find best teacher just by looking at his/her nickname. The next step here will be dynamically given nicknames, that depends on AI's actions like "Bears Bane", "Wolves Killer" or "The Coward", I think it will be added somewhere near diplomacy stuff, I've added this to the roadmap as a separate paragraph. In the next update we'll return to our couples - they still need to live together:) So, stay tuned and have a nice play! CHANGES

I wanted to add it by today's one, but amount of work here is quite large - dialogs + basically rework of all interior animations spots, to make sure, that couples will have free place to eat and sleep together. Of course, I wish I could add things faster here - but unfortunately I'm not a machine + I want to make sure all new stuff is working as planned.

In the last update I've changed max wall size to 500m and some player find out that their walls are disappeared. to solve the problem I made "was wall size" customizable - now it can be changed in game settings. Careful though - big walls still have significant affect on performance, so use this carefully!

So here we go - alongside with numerous fixes for sieges new important and very useful thing was added - banners for soldiers. Now player can see enemies on the battlefield more clearly.

Welcome, lords and ladies of KINGDOMS! This is the second part of "Family name and titles" paragraph of the roadmap. From now on AI has one of 10 possible social titles (full list follows), that depends on his position in Kingdoms world. When reaching certain life goal AI will change his social rank in a different way, i.e. becoming a king after establishing a settlement, a merchant after opening the shop, the bandit after joining the gang etc.,etc., Also from now on settlers also have another important social indicator - nobility. In most cases it totally depends on social position, i.e. becoming a king means becoming a noble as well etc. Two titles be both noble and commoner - merchants and landsknechts. The next update will bring the same system for the player and replace old one ranking system, that was defined by reputation. CHANGES

• Now each settler is randomly gets "Noble" or "Commoner status;
• Now title and nobility can be seen in Dialog window;
• Noble status depends on social status, i.e. serf can't be noble, the king or knight will become noble etc.
• Merchants and landsknecht can be both noble and commoner;
• Player can learn AI's title/nobility only after making > 10 friendship with a person;

FIXES

I've moved the game to newer engine version on May, so lets use it's new features to make Kingdoms even better. What it does - engine calculates all textures not in their full size. but divides into smaller pieces and uses, when needed - it give significant performance boost for most GPUs, which is great.

Welcome, lords and ladies of KINGDOMS! Today we're going down the roadmap. It's the first update for family theme that adds unique family name for each person on the island - it will be used a bit later for family systems and marriages. Player can choose family name as well when creating a character. Old saves will duplicate existing name i.e. "Cyfie Cyfie". Also, important change are female names. I've created newname generator that can create unique names both for males and females - I tried to make both look and sound like proper ones, so we could understand the gender of settler just by looking at the name. The next step here will be title system and it's a bit more complex and gameplay affecting - I'll see it in Mondays update already. Also, a small note I didn't cover in roadmap announcement - we still have war stuff to finish. I decided to put in Fridays updates - some adding and tweaks there and there between fixes, without creating new theme in the roadmap. CHANGES

• Now each settler has unique family name, created by randomizer;
• First name of settlers now is generated in unique way, not just from the list - using unique elements, postfixes and prefixes;
• Settlers from the old saves will change their names automatically - no worries if Gudporn suddenly becomes Anny Kar-Tan;
• Female names are now different from the males ones, with unique style, so player can know the AI gender just by looking at the name;
• All names and family names can be translated in different languages, all their parts were put to default English file used for translation;
• Different family names styles were added, i.e. with using of "-" like Kor-o-Wan or Amir-Tin, or standard ones like Vindor, Sunway etc. - all procedurally generated;
• Player now can choose a Family name in characters creation menu;
• Character no cannot be created without inputting families name, new warnings were added;
• Old save will just duplicate previously chosen name as a Family name, i.e. "Cyfie Cyfie";
• Generic lore name (i.e emperor's one) were changed as well;

FIXES

• Fixed issue when player could use space when inputting characters name, causing saves issues sometimes, warning was added;
• Fixed issue when player could use dialog menu on the ship sometimes, causing following script errors;
• Fixed issue when AI could have 2 identical names sometimes even if gender was different.
• Fixed issue when player could exploit LP in character creation menu just by unlearning perks;
• Fixed forest generation script error that can cause absence of ruins on the map;
• Fixed issue issue when by creating of empty world AI characters could have identical faces and hairstyles sometimes;

LOCALIZATIONS

Good day, lords and ladies! I would like to put a few comments here before you'll dive to the roadmap. 1) First of and most important - it's not 100% final. I'm sure that before we'll reach 1.0 I'll edit the list not once - mostly with additions and editing of existing stuff, without removing anything, so this list represents features that 100% will be in the final product, so no worries here. Also, Steam sub-forum "Your Ideas and suggestions" still welcomes all the players! 2) Second important thought - when writing this I tried to be as realistic as possible in order of development - everything you'll see in the roadmap is 100% possible to develop without any serious issues and that mean - relatively fast. I've prepared code for this, so I hope that everything will be smooth here. As you can see, there are 3 big themes, and some stuff is marked with *. * Means features that not 100% thematic correct, sometimes not at all, but they'll match the development timing. 3) Third important thing - I've changed my initial development plan a bit. The plan was to finish all the gameplay stuff till 0.8 and since that add and polish things. But changed my mind and that's why - bringing new content (like new items and building) as important as adding of new gameplay features, I make polishing at Friday anyway, so stuff like main quest, new items, weapons etc. etc. were added to main themes. And the last question is obviously - when? The answer is - we'll start today. It's 26.07.2021, Monday, and the first update of this roadmap will come today - we're making final test at the very moment. The plan is to release 3 updates per week. Monday, Wednesday - stuff from the roadmap, Friday - bugfixes and tweaks. I.E. today you'll have "New quest type - killing human", Wednesday is for "New system for AI names - second name, titles" and Friday is "Bugfixes". FAMILIES
