Hey everyone 👑,
I have studied all the feedback from the last update. Some loved all the changes, but especially the change to how upgrading the units works seemed to be very divisive. The update was so big and tried to address a lot of problems at once, so I was never thinking it would be the final solution. But especially as a solo developer, I need to try out what works and what does not, and most importantly why.
So, after taking a step back and considering all of that, here is a small but important update to finalize that vision:
This idea came from a player, and while it seems like a going backwards at first, combining it with the nightly promotions for coins could be the real solution.
The intention of this whole change was to make the game less stale and allow more freedom in build crafting. But removing the resource-based upgrades also meant losing some control and a lot of the deeper resource related decisions. It had less charm and was also a bit boring maybe.
So now we have both: The more puzzly way of upgrading for resources and the more roguelite approach of just using coins to upgrade a unit in the night.
I hope this approach will be very interesting, and if not, I'm here and will continue to listen to your feedback.
The targeting spell was very powerful, but a lot of players did not seem to like it in early game.
So Rickard has a new spell now, the Battle Cry: He motivates all units to attack 20% faster for the duration of the spell now.
I still want to find a way for you to unlock and be able to start with the targeting spell, as it is very helpful in curse levels later on. If you have any ideas for that, please share them!
Now that you need less coins for upgrades again, and most units cost ingots to upgrade again, making Amaya cost coins makes a lot more sense. This way her relics are more accessible again.
Thank you for all the feedback, it really helps me to make this game better.

Hey everyone 👑,
It is finally time to release the biggest update yet to the public!
We have thoroughly tested and refined it in the beta in over 50 patches. The update feels balanced now, and I'm eager to hear more broad feedback on where to take the game next. If you’ve been enjoying the game, please consider leaving a Steam review. Even a short one helps a lot.
It was a lot of fun to finally work together with the community in public on this update. Thank you to everyone who helped in making this update possible!
There is a lot of new stuff, but also reworks to tackle the deeper problems you reported. It's really a new take on how the game works. The goals of this update were to improve variety, meaning, and agency:
The most impactful change is how upgrading units works. Instead of using certain fixed resources, upgrades are done in a promotion ceremony in the tavern and cost coins now. That makes the game a bit less puzzly, and it gives you much more freedom in build-crafting and improves the flow of the game. In our tests, builds are far more varied, and players do not always take and upgrade the same units anymore. It also feels more roguelite and makes runs less rigid. I know this will be a big adjustment to how some of you play the game, and I was very skeptical of this change at first as well, but the more I play it, the more I love that new freedom.
The new spell system, with 18 different spells already, aims to give you more agency and the ability to impact combat directly. You always have two spells, one for combat and one for economy. Every hero comes with their own default combat spell, which also makes the game feel more varied when playing different heroes. The default economy spell is different in every kingdom. But you can also find and buy access to the other spells. Of course, it is only the first iteration of this system, and it will be refined further in the future.
The final day is an endless challenge now to test the limits of your build. When you survive for longer, you get one super metal and can farm shards. This change seems to work out really great and feels like a much more satisfying end of a run.
When you get multiple units from a certain kingdom, you get different bonus traits depending on the kingdom. That trait gets better the more units you recruit from there. The traits range from simpler stat bonuses, but also very unique ones like reviving units, thorns damage, or auto-boosting. This system also plays into the theme of more varied runs and builds.
Units do not get unlocked by doing achievements anymore, but there is a new NPC, the Trapper. He lays traps for you, and to unlock units, you need to catch them in one. The first trap per run is free, and even if you catch a monster you've already unlocked again, you will always get a little reward for it.
While solving the achievement quests does not unlock units anymore, they do now give you a small permanent buff for all your units. Those buffs count from both kingdoms, making it so playing both kingdoms is still not required, but motivating again. This should be a good compromise for the whole playerbase.
I've added more roads, starting resources, and even villages to unlock in the world. But the aim of that was not just to have more stuff to unlock, but also to give it more meaning.
The balance has been adjusted, so you really feel the impact of it and how your build order changes the more you unlock.
Another problem that was often mentioned was that runs are taking too long. First, I've reduced the length of the day by cutting how much time is spent fighting at night. You can now also directly go into the tavern once combat has ended. And there is a new option to skip portions of the tavern animation. As a final push in this direction, you can now rush the waves to make the combat end faster and even gain a small glory bonus the earlier you do that. That also means you have more agency over how long the run takes, so even if you do not use the option, it still feels better, as it was your decision and not forced waiting time. All these four points together should greatly improve the speed of your runs.
Before, coins and faith were generated on a timer, and you had to switch between which one you wanted, which was another thing to keep track of. It was a bit clunky and did not even add that much depth. That is simplified now. You gain taxes for each of your buildings before the morning now, which makes the decision of how to spend them clearer and more strategic. It also means you have them to spend on guests when necessary.
The portal is not a building in the city anymore, but is found in the world, which makes getting new units a more central part of the game loop. To replace it, we have two new buildings to make coins and shards. That allows more control and variation in how you want to approach your economic strategy and how to farm shards.
Another new type of building in the world is the Guilds, where you can get one unit of the related class for ingots, also leading to taking on units you may not have otherwise.
The ritual in the church still increases the chance for stronger evolved monsters, but those do not drop shards anymore. While that worked out well enough, a lot of players did not like to use it and then did not have enough shards to progress as fast as intended. Now the ritual gives coins instead, helping in the run itself.
The ritual also no longer increases the chance of monster-provoked events. Instead, you need to spend those coins at the monster bell, which now guarantees a provoke event. So it now requires a lot of skill to go for glory high scores instead of relying on RNG. That improves the feeling of the endgame greatly.
Due to popular demand, targeting items do have their own slot now and do not take away from equipping other items anymore.
And a lot more, check the changelog below!
All of this goes hand in hand to change how the game feels and how much control you have. I hope you see how much consideration was put into crafting this update. And we are far from done here, and I will further improve it upon your feedback, of course. That's what early access is about, after all.
Thanks again for being part of the journey!

Hey everyone 👑
The last month has been crazy! Thanks to you, I've had such an enormous amount of feedback to work through, and it really helped a ton. As did taking a break. The creative energy was finally flowing again, which I really missed. One thing led to another, I couldn't stop, and here we are:
Update #15 will be the biggest update yet, by far. We have a lot of new stuff, but also reworks to tackle the deeper problems you reported. It's really a new take on how the game works. And it is so big, in fact, that I decided not to just release it like I normally would, but instead, I want to continue working on it and improving it together with the community.
Here is just a short summary of the biggest change:
Added a new spell system to give you more agency, like for targeting or manually hauling a resource you are desperately waiting for
Added kingdom traits to give you a reason to take on a more diverse team
The final day is an endless challenge to test the capabilities of your build, while getting shards and super metals the longer you survive!
To unlock new units, you catch monsters in traps now, making that a real part of the gameplay loop
Added more progression and also made it has more impact, so you can really feel the city changing with it again
Runs are faster, and you can rush waves to make them even faster and gain more glory
Reworked how and when units get upgraded to make it less puzzly
Reworked how taxes work to make them more clear and strategic
New buildings to make coins and shards, to replace the ritual
And a lot more, check the full changelog below.
If you have more ideas, please share them below and join the Discord to participate in the active development process.
Thanks again for all your help, I really appreciate it!

Super Fantasy Kingdom is currently 50% off. You've returned from a hunting trip to find your kingdom in ruin. Now, you must rebuild your home while fending off the hordes of monsters that descend upon your gates every night. Defeat them with a unique team of defenders in this roguelite city builder.
Hey everyone 👑,
It's been some time since the last update. Normally, I'd want to release hotfixes after big updates, but the Patch 13 was surprisingly stable, and I really had to take a break. So that's what I did. A whole month of not thinking about the game! First I did some renovations. I think I needed to order my stuff to get a clear mind again. And then I just chilled. Cooking, going on walks with Mio and a lot of sleeping 😅 I did even play some games again. All of that was very important to gain a fresh view on things.
So, I'm back again and have some new ideas on how to improve the game. But before I delve into that, I wanted to release a quick patch fixing most of the problems you reported and implementing some changes I could do without touching too many other functions.
Most importantly, you can finally view all hero and unit sheets directly from the unlocks catalog now. You can open them from the throne room and the pause menu ingame. I hope that will make some decisions and thinking about builds easier.
I've also checked all heroes (like the units in the last update), so they can only equip items they support now and display the stats in their sheets.
While the targeting items seem to have good use cases, they were a bit too prominent and got in the way of more important decisions. The easy solution for that was to just remove them from the caravan and put them into their own shop. There you can buy them from a daily changing stock.
Starting item slots were unlocked by total glory before, which was not motivating at all. Now you get them as you unlock more heroes. That should make both processes more intriguing.
The Undeads were still missing a few event spots. Now you can go highscore hunting there as well.
Please make sure to leave a Steam review, sharing your thoughts and feedback about Super Fantasy Kingdom. They're a powerful way to let me know what you think and help out quite a bit! I'll continue to look through them as more patches come out.

Hey everyone 👑
As promised, here is the first major update in time for the holidays!
The elves do now also have a building: The Observatory!
It makes all the buildings with a progress bar faster. Having a different way to do so should increase some builds viability and allow more strategies. Especially making mineshafts faster will be very interesting.
Then we have a new type of items with targeting items. With them, you can adjust which monsters your units target. This is probably one of the most requested features, and I am very happy to have found a solution so fast that is still rather tactical. In many tower defense games you can switch the targeting at any time, but it would've been very annoying to switch targeting on multiple units whenever certain enemies appear. Like this, whom to adjust is a build crafting decision and you need to use an item slot for it. Be aware, this is not tested for balance yet. Some crazy combinations will be possible now. Have fun :)
Playing the undead kingdom is optional now, so you can play them in any order you like. To still have access to all the variety, you unlock the other half of the units by leveling your kingdom instead. That also means that the progression is more stable and faster now.
I have seen feedback about liking the way it was, and to be honest, it was a hard decision for me as well. The idea was a metroidvania-like feeling, where you switch between the kingdoms to find new units and then have more options in the other one. And when a player accepts that and goes with the flow it worked out really well. But the reality is that there are multiple valid reasons to feel different about that. Some just do not like a certain kingdom, others don't want to learn two concepts at the same time, and then there was the general problem of feeling forced.
We do have very different types of players and I need to find a good solution for all of us. So, for me this is an experiment. First we had the very guided experience, now we try a more individual and faster progression. I will watch out for old and new players' feedback, to use that in a bigger evaluation on where to take this project. If you have some time over the holidays, please try how it feels now on another profile and share what you think about it.
A big portion of this update is also clarity again. All achievements do have a hint and a spoiler now, which also act as an extended tutorial that does not get in the way for players that don't need it. I hope this will make new players experience with the game a lot smoother.
How units display their stats has also been improved. They can also only equip items for those stats, preventing you from wasting items.
In the old system, the randomness when raw meat or fish was eaten was a problem for many players. The fish filet relic was also too strong, and souls were very easy to upgrade in the undead kingdom. Now they never pick the meat first anymore, but instead the amount of meat (or souls) that can be upgraded each night is limited instead, and you can upgrade the tavern to increase that limit. That should help with all of these problems and also explain the whole system better.
Please make sure to leave a Steam review, sharing your thoughts and feedback about Super Fantasy Kingdom. They're a powerful way to let me know what you think and help out quite a bit! I'll continue to look through them as more patches come out.
Wishing you all great holidays!!

Thank you to everyone for trying my game and giving all the wonderful feedback!
I've been overwhelmed by all the interest in Super Fantasy Kingdom. But I've seen many questions about the future of the game, so I want to provide some information and context about my plans. I want to be very transparent about where we stand, so you can understand what's going to happen next.
Super Fantasy Kingdom is a very personal project. I spent the last four years making it. It is my first game, so I had to learn a lot. There was one moment, a few weeks after I first started, where the whole concept came together and I realized how it should play and feel, and how the progression would continuously change how you build your city. It was a crazy feeling. I was never so sure of anything before. And since that moment, I did nothing but work on realizing that. It just had to be done. I adjusted my sleep rhythm and eating habits while working in a small kitchen, all to make sure I'd have enough time to complete that vision. I'm not saying that to get pity, but I want you to understand how much work and love went into this game.
And then came the release with a crazy amount of players (up to 12,500 players at the same time!). I thought they'd all enjoy what the game has to offer. Such a big release could cause hype, good word of mouth, and lead to coverage of the game.
But then the first progression and balance problems turned up. Deservedly, the reviews started to reflect that. I will admit, I was surprised by how some players felt. For example, the game was never intended to feel overly grindy. It is supposed to be a challenge. I have purposefully avoided any systems that reward doing the same thing over and over again, but that means when you are stuck (because of the difficulty problems, or just because something was not explained properly by the game) and do not progress, it does feel as if there is only one path to victory and you just do not find it.
After fixing many of those problems, more and more people were able to really get into the game. The ratings climbed, and some reviews even switched from negative. The playtimes are also crazy so soon after release. I'm happy to see that many players report how experimentation was key to their first victory now. I've even heard from some who are still feeling that excitement of discovery and learning after playing the game for over 120 hours. THAT was my vision, and I feel so proud that it works and you are enjoying it.
Many of you are hoping for new content fast, but the first priority for me will be polishing and improving in response to feedback. After so much time working on it in isolation with a few testers, the game does need some time to be refined with the community. I have noticed how even the smallest problems can irritate people greatly, even if they love the whole game otherwise. And this game has so many gameplay elements. Each of those needs time to find its place.
If the big goal is producing more content, I also need to stop sprinting and learn marathon mode. I want to keep up this motivation for the years to come, so I do need to take better care of myself. For that, I'm also thinking about growing my studio and hiring a dedicated programmer to assist me, so I can concentrate more on the creative side.
Considering all that, it makes it very clear what I need to do: I will use the early access period to make this game as great as it can possibly be. I want to openly work together with the community on refining the existing content and adding more heroes, units, relics, items, or even buildings to complement that. I know many developers say that but have everything planned out already and only make small adjustments. I don't. It will be a real collaboration. You can come into Discord or the Steam forums, suggest something, and if I like it, you could potentially see me testing it out on the very next day. If that sounds cool to you, please join in the process!!!
Remove the need to play both kingdoms
Rework game progression to be smoother
Improve clarity and tutorials
Add more variety
Give the player more agency (targeting items for example)
Undead kingdom needs more love
Reduce frustrations
Endgame
Add the remaining character art
And of course the hero evolutions
Since release, I've worked hard on the patches, and I will keep improving the experience for all of you. I think even players who have beaten both kingdoms now, just waiting for new content, will be happy about this "foundation work" in the end. I also want to rework how the endgame plays, with the intent that it becomes the real meat of the game someday, where you can apply everything that you learned now. That would be very cool. Again, if you have any ideas on that, please share them!
Again, thank you so much for being part of my journey and for playing my game. I could not have imagined this kind of interest when I started working on this game.

Hey everyone 👑
Many players wanted more information before buying a new hero, so instead of showing empty statistics, you can now read about how they attack. Next, I will need to improve the descriptions 😂
The scientist cannot be given units of the kingdom you currently play. You cannot start with them anyway, it makes more sense thematically, and it also makes it more likely that he will want a unit you still need to give him. It should be better in every case. I really like such changes.
Similarly, the builder and demolisher visits have been swapped. Now the builder comes first, giving you more build options earlier and more opportunity to use that investment. And the demolisher comes afterwards, opening more strategic plays as you can use it on the builder's building, but also because later on you might not need some of the other buildings anymore. This simple change should make both decisions deeper, and even affect other decisions, on all progression levels. So satisfying!
The caravan's arrival can be skipped instantly, so there is no second wasted anymore. And when selecting fate, the related kingdom's reputation does get highlighted. I'm trying to make everything as easy to handle as possible. The new pirate marker, which is primarily necessary in the undead kingdom, seems to annoy some players. I could remove it from the human kingdom, or only show it once and not daily, but in both cases, it could also lead to people forgetting about it. Any other ideas? At least it vanishes at night now.
The undead kingdom has gotten some QoL upgrades. The timing of when you upgrade a Mausoleum does not matter anymore, they start with another Ooze Pool, so you can go get all related upgrades if you invest into it, and the Blood Bank states that it needs dead rats now.
While Selene is one of the most powerful heroes, I have seen the repeated wishes to make her hit everything. But that is a fine line. I must preserve differences between heroes. Some might be easy to play, others might be great early, or against masses of monsters or against bosses - so that you need to switch up which other units to take and when. If every hero is consistent early, they also cannot differentiate as much later on. At the same time, when people first try a hero they should not hate them either. I'll try to improve it enough, without losing her essence.
Hope you will enjoy the changes!

Hey everyone 👑
I have some cool new stuff again. With every update I think that I have fixed the most pressing issues now, only for you to find more stuff that totally needs my attention. But hey, I'm so happy the game is finally out and to get so much new player feedback. I'm still processing it all and will tell you about my plans soon.
The most important new feature is that you can read the tutorials again if you want to. Press T/Select to open a list of all previous tutorial messages. I hope that will be helpful.
Another often requested feature was to keep the game speed on the next day. But as not everyone wanted that, I've added it as an option in the settings. Some people seemd to really dislike that the leaderboard was always visible on the title screen, which I did not consider at all. You can hide it now.
Endgame glory highscore chasing was too random, so the ritual in the church also increases the chance for provokes now. I've also added two new dialogues to the current ending of the game, as a little reward for completionists. It's crazy to see how fast you have been!
The weather chances have been increased, especially those of the most special types. The merchant gives you a coin more to be more worthwhile. Some of the less used units got buffed. The treant has lost a bit of damage, but might even still be too strong. He is such a good tank and crowd control already, and doing so much damage does not really fit the archetype either.
Then we have some small monster adjustments. The ghost seemed especially bad and should be a little less frightful now ;)
And, of course, a ton of bug fixes and improvements in clarity again. The geologists still not working without flag was especially bad for new players.

Hey everyone 👑
I was trying to write a post about the future of the Super Fantasy Kingdom, but it got too long and needs more work. So, I will just share the latest patch notes instead.
It was a rather small patch, mostly focused on fixing bugs. But I wanted to get it out for the weekend, so people can enjoy the game more.
The road builder is more effecient and it is explained that he goes for the closest buildings first. A much requested feature was seeing the heroes class and attack type when choosing relics. This is only a short term solution, but should hopefully help a bit. The range stat does not increase the minumum range anymore (but the displayed range is still wrong, will be fixed next patch!). Then some small UI and clarity improvements again.
After the community reported how easily the Monument could be abused to amass faith I've increased the cost, but I'm not too sure about this change yet.
Please make sure to leave a Steam review, sharing your thoughts and feedback about Super Fantasy Kingdom. They're a powerful way to let me know what you think and help out quite a bit! I'll continue to look through them as more patches come out.
Have a great weekend!

Hey everyone 👑
I slept for a whole day, went for a big walk with Mio and had a great dinner with my family. Then I wanted to fix one small thing and just could not stop again. It is hard to see you having problems that I can easily solve and just do nothing. But I had a blast! And it is much easier to work when nobody expects anything from you 😂
The big change is that the caravan feature gets unlocked after beating the second boss now. Each time you select your fate, you gain reputation with one of the other kingdoms. Once you have enough reputation they send a caravan with items. The feedback was very clear that build variety was lacking early, and items are a great way to give agency to the player.
Two often requested features were a catalog of bosses to see which ones still need to be beaten, and healthbars for mini-bosses. I'm happy I could implement that so fast. The resource UI was also improved to always display the current stars, and display the amount of super metal in overlays. The gamepad support has also been improved.
Most of the other changes are related to clarity, tutorials, and descriptions again. It is good to see fewer and fewer questions coming up, and I also got some great tips on how to explain things better from the community. One of those was to add help messages to the death screen. One could be "You can build the bonfire multiple times", shown after 400 glory. But of course it should start much simpler. Please share your ideas in the comments! What hint would have helped you?
And then we have a myriad of bug fixes. The balance adjustments also become a lot smaller. All together, a really good update, I hope.
Please make sure to leave a Steam review, sharing your thoughts and feedback about Super Fantasy Kingdom. They're a powerful way to let me know what you think and help out quite a bit! I'll continue to look through them as more patches come out.
Now back to my break!

Hey everyone 👑
this is the final patch of the release week frenzy. Some great quality of life stuff this time:
The tavern animation has annoyed people after a while, so you can skip it now by clicking on the "Enter Tavern" banner. Then I further improved the armory chances, so you do not gain duplicates as often. And the auto-disabling of special jobs has been removed. It was not necessary anymore now that the descriptions are more clear.
One great idea came from Caidryn in the steam forums. Hero equipment slots are unlocked with total glory now, which should make it a lot more motivating to try another hero. He has the slots you unlocked already, and it helps you to unlock more of them for all other heroes as well.
And then we have the usual improvements in clarity: A new tutorial for fate and the undead graveyard function, the markers are more noticable, and multiple descriptions have been improved.
It does also seem like the balance is finally getting into a better spot. I am so happy to see more of you having fun with the game now, and there also seems to be a lot less frustration. Looking back at this week, I think the progress has been phenomenal. Eight patches with substantial changes in seven days. Also, how we had no big or game-breaking bugs. I rarely talk about it, but this is my first game. I should be proud about that.
I'd love to take this energy and determination into the whole early access period, but I will need your help on the next steps. Please come into Discord and help with suggestions for new and existing content. Do not forget to leave a review, that helps so much. Or share the game on any other way.
But, due to popular demand, I will take it a bit slower now 😅 After all his patience with me, I do want to take Mio on some trips. And I do have a few "I'll do that after release" appointments next week.
Hope you have a great weekend! ːsfk_mioː

Hey everyone 👑
here are the patch notes for yesterday's patch. Sorry for the delay this time.
The big change is that all deposits are explained in the pause menu glossary now. That should help with multiple questions that came up repeatedly, such as how to get more thickets and especially how the undead economy works. The mini-boss fight and the upgradable buildings in the world are also more clear now.
The balance finally seems to be becoming better as well. I see a lot more of you are having fun with the game now and are not as stuck anymore. That is more like the game was meant to be played. Of course, it's still not perfect and I'll keep working on it.
But the big focus of this patch was fixing bugs. I've tried to fix the ones with the most influence on your runs. When you get a relic and it does not work, that can potentially doom a run. So this should also help with balance of course.
Next patch is already in testing and should be released later today.

Hey everyone 👑
here is the sixth update for Super Fantasy Kingdom!
The armory chances were reworked to reduce the chance for duplicate items, which did not work properly before. The game also does not revert your zoom level anymore, and the outposts that spawn items do so directly on the battlefield now.
Then we have a lot of changes aimed at making the experience better in the undead kingdom. Assigning workers and carriers should be clearer now, and their reliance on stone has been reduced.
The shard outpost is unlocked earlier now, giving you a bit more agency early to gain more shards. But that will not be enough. It seems like the ritual in the church is not clear and rewarding enough. So I would like to rework or replace the function. If you have any ideas for improving the shard balance, please share them below or in the forums.
Of course, the balance was also further improved, and a lot of bugs were fixed as well.
And thank you very much for the kind words under the last post. Waking up to so many supportive comments was a very pleasent surprise. Your support means the world to me.

Hey everyone 👑
Patch 5 is out and aims to solve some of the most reported problems and to clarify the most asked questions.
The pause menu now contains a dictionary of keywords to select, so you can always read what all the special resources and status effects do. A lot of descriptions and UI elements have been improved after seeing what caused confusion in the reviews, on discord and in forum posts. That includes the fate selection, where you can now see which boss still has a star for you.
The task board was improved to be more fair. Some annoyances, like the slow road builder or the restricted storage space in the Library, have been adjusted.
Then I've worked hard to make the experience even better with gamepad. It should be much clearer which building or which card is selected now, and outposts are also easier to select.
And lastly, there is the balance.
I've made this game for you to have fun exploring a big world, meeting its characters, mastering the mechanics and uncovering all the secrets with always new challenges. I'm very sorry that some of you are not able to experience that. Once people claim their first win, it seems to work well, but getting really stuck before that is ultra frustrating. It makes the game feel linear, or as if there was one special way to progress, when in reality experimenting and trying out new combinations is the key to victory. You cannot imagine how bad I feel about that. This patch should hopefully also improve that.
Added proper keyword dictionary to the pause screen
Task board removed damage type tasks from lower difficulties
Task board reworked scaling of many task requirements, especially later on
Task board reroll button is better visible
The training camp opens once you have more than one unit
Upgraded buildings in the world also display what they give on hover

Hey everyone 👑
here are the patch notes for yesterday's patch. Sorry for the delay, but I went straight to working on the next update that is currently being tested and will be released today. It will be the biggest update yet.
The most important change is destroyed siege engines are not counting as death anymore, which was caused by a bug and just unfair. That is also the topic of the balance changes this time around. They are aimed at making the game more fair, without making it too easy. Buffing cadus and the clown should also help the undead kingom greatly.
The other changes are aimed at improving clarity, like making it more obvious how to switch kingdoms or that you can exit the game safely in the morning to resume your run later.
Please make sure to leave a Steam review, sharing your thoughts and feedback about Super Fantasy Kingdom. They're a powerful way to let me know what you think and help out quite a bit! I'll continue to look through them as more patches come out.

Hey everyone 👑
After finally getting some rest, I’m excited to share the final update of the release weekend with you!
This patch focuses more on balancing the third week, where many players still had bigger problems. Buffing the Paladin, whom you unlock around that time, as well as preventing people from losing resources to siege engines they cannot use anyway should hopefully make it smoother as well.
In a similar direction, kingdom leveling is faster now, the first curse level is unlocked faster and heroes cost even less shards now. I've also improved the first descriptions people had the most problems with and fixed a ton of bugs.
I've received so much feedback and many suggestions. Some of which seem very obvious now, but that's exactly what the early access period is for. Together we can make the game the best it can be. I am very excited for the road ahead!
Please make sure to leave a Steam review, sharing your thoughts and feedback about Super Fantasy Kingdom. They're a powerful way to let me know what you think and help out quite a bit! I'll continue to look through them as more patches come out.

Here's the second patch for Super Fanatsy Kingdom! Special jobs did seem to cause a lot of confusion, which needs to be solved by explaining them better. For the meantime just a quick fix so they do not continuously drain your wallet. As for shards, it seems my design does not work as intended. Things like the islands and heroes were meant to be unlocked over a longer time, so even if your run did not break your glory high score, you still have some progression. For players who are very stuck, it feels like that one island unlock is stopping them from progression. That is related to difficulty as well of course. I have reduced the shard costs this patch, but will try to improve this further. I've read the concerns under the last patch notes about whether the game will become too easy as a reaction to negative reviews, but I can assure you that I do monitor the situation very carefully and only adjust based on unfair deaths. There are also 5 curse levels with increasing difficulty to test your skills at and earn more glory.

It's day one of Early Access. I'm totally floored by the reception of the game. As promised, here are the first improvements based on your reports: I do realize the game was still too hard early. Even after months of intensive testing and fine-tuning, how such an enormous number of new players approach the game is just totally different. I hope the experience, especially in the first two weeks, will be better now. Please join us on Discord and Reddit. You can also find wiki here for information on the game!
