We can't wait to read all your comments and reviews and let's hope that the game runs smoothly for all of you! Soon we'll be posting a guide here for everyone that wants to have a bit more insight on the game but so far we'll let you dive in and explore on your own ;) Cheers! 🥂

One day is left before the release and today we want to share this developer's message with you - yo_serjio (Sergey Yurkin) himself wants to thank all of you personally and tell a little bit more about the game in this short two-minute video.

Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? Make Your Kingdom will be released in just 2 days! You will be able to dive into the exciting process of creating your own kingdom starting January 20th. In Make Your Kingdom can play as a founder of the settlement. And like any kind and righteous ruler you can not only help your people win the battles, but also take part in constructing any buildings, gathering and transporting the resources, and just checking on your fellow residents! Long live the King! 👑 How often do you play as a founder? Some players don’t seem to use this feature, but others seem to dig it a lot. What about you? {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33942180/e720b547047861640aa062d9008ec2330c8044ff.jpg

We can't wait! Make Your Kingdom will be released in just 3 days! You will be able to dive into the exciting process of creating your own kingdom starting January 20th. Today we have a little preview of the new models on this beautiful screenshot — can you notice the new things and changes to some other buildings? The most noticeable change is probably the main building's design — what do you think of it? The release date is coming closer and closer and we can't wait to see all the beautiful kingdoms that you'll build! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33942180/9e9b996530bbec813c770e5d7bf193ac43da2003.png

You heard it here first, folks! Make Your Kingdom will be released in just 5 days! You will be able to dive into the exciting process of creating your own kingdom starting January 20th. Do you remember this roadmap (https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1257560?emclan=103582791466659002&emgid=3827447881812034416) that we posted a while back? We completed almost everything out of this list! There will be a lot more buildings than in the demo and some will even have multiple looks so you could make your settlement even more diverse. There will also be a few completely new mechanics - like talking to your fellow settlers and motivating them. One of the new mechanics that will make the game a bit harder is sickness. (Some settlers will inevitably get sick, but just one hospital and a healer's house will be able to turn it all around.) We hope that you also enjoy the new interface which you could’ve seen during the last playtest. Plus there will also be helpful tip windows that should make learning how to play the game easier for new players. And while we wait for the release countdown to finally be over, share with us - what Is your favorite thing about the game? We love to see your comments! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33942180/810dc75e2c3a03edddbc585e8f088d5b1097a7b8.jpg

The wait is almost over – Make Your Kingdom will be out on Steam in just 6 days! You will be able to dive into the exciting process of creating your own kingdom starting January 20th. 🥳 It’s been 4 years of hard work – and almost everything you’ll see in the game was developed by one person! The developer (yo_serjio) has done a great job of improving the game since the demo was released in the summer of 2020 - new mechanics and building models have been added to the game, and the user interface has been changed completely. And while we wait for the release countdown to finally be over, share with us – how did you find out about the game? We would love to hear your stories! ❤ {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33942180/0ad8256a8e219a0b6fcdcfdade48dd1f07107781.png

So another year has come to an end, which was just as difficult as the previous one, but during which we managed to implement many ideas related to the project. A new interface has been developed, many new buildings and functions have been added. We tried to breathe even more life into the game, and at the end of the year we also set up a playtest, in which tens of thousands of players took part. At the beginning of next year, the release of the game is finally going to happen, but in the meantime, we wish you happy holidays and a good rest. Happy New Year! ❤️ {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33942180/fde681ffc761430102247ef3b8afb1bd414df629.png

Hello Founders! Today we are going to tell you about the varieties of orcs in Make Your Kingdom. You remember that orcs in Make Your Kingdom are dead settlers who have been resurrected and are out for blood. Even the clothes on the orcs are the same as on the former humans. Some of them are particularly dangerous, while others are terribly annoying. But all must be wary and fight them with all their might to save the still-living inhabitants of your kingdom. Orcs of War (Warriors) {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33942180/9c4f3dad63515d20e8424388a067667d8c87e83f.png The name speaks for itself - these orcs live for battles. Each one is armed with huge axes and loves to fight. These guys are the most dangerous of all, so watch out, train your army and equip it! Especially with bows and armor. Arsonists {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33942180/a7db99b6c35dcda45c255442c5729cd5d8ed0a25.png Orcs with torches whose main goal is to burn your kingdom to the ground. Destroy them or you lose all the buildings. As soon as the arsonist completes his task and uses the torch, he will turn into a thief. Thieves {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33942180/82463f44aa2188a5c7aedce0b968440a057925d9.png The most annoying kind of orcs! Thieves steal your resources and damage buildings, and then flee into the woods. There are a lot of them, they run fast and are terribly annoying. *** That's all! Don't forget to join our Discord, where we give away a copy of MYK once a week in a contest, and have also scheduled a Q&A session: https://discord.gg/YPz9P9QA

Hello, Founders! In Make Your Kingdom, buildings not only get built, but also explode (we talked about this in a previous development diary). To prevent a settlement from exploding and collapsing, you have to be careful to make sure that each house is repaired in time. Otherwise... boom! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33942180/c9ae633e8dda6cc1d365a00cedb13871faea0e50.gif Hopefully you will rarely see exploding buildings in the game. But admire them here! 1 click = 1 explosion. Almost like Michael Bay. And don't forget to join our Discord, where we give away a copy of MYK once a week in a contest, and have also scheduled a Q&A session: https://discord.gg/zHUA6Zse

Hello, founders! We are excited to announce that we will be holding a question and answer session at the end of August! We'll let you know the exact date and time a little later. Q&A will take place on our Discord server. If you want to know about the current development status of Make Your Kingdom, or if you have any suggestions and wishes for improvement of the game, this is a great opportunity to ask! We'll also welcome simple questions like "What's up?" or "What did you have for breakfast today?" :) The Q&A session will last 1-1.5 hours, and we'll try to answer any questions you may have. In order not to miss the announcement of the QA date, join us on Discord! There we post-development news, as well as talk to players and just have a good time.
