Нyou can read detailed bugs report in the discussion section of the Kingsim Steam Storepage. !!! Be careful - due to the engine / development limitations your previous save files will not work with updated version. Since this is a minor update, download this update of KingSim only if you don't care about your current save file !!! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36022155/cfbd7d1fac9d28a5fa4f4f9e49bf378ebef30556.gifDreamhack Beyond Indie Showcase KingSim Broadcast!Oct 13, 2022 - Community AnnouncementsFellow Kings and queens, KingSim is participating in Dreamhack Beyond Indie Showcase, woohoo! Because of that, I will be broadcasting the gameplay this whole week for all of you wonderful people! Also, there will be a HUGE discount during the whole Indie Showcase, don't miss it! Let's play and try to survive... {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36022155/b9d91ccc5f7f3eaa983341de1ac034f1d8430b88.pngKingSim Participates in Tiny Teams 2022 and small patch news!Aug 3, 2022 - Community Announcements{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36022155/1671a393bd5d39a9d1e34f0cd5e8934e0e22b056.png Good day to you, fellow Kings and Queens! I'm happy to announce that KingSim participates in Tiny Teams 2022, which means... Discount. A BIG Discount is currently available for all upcoming leaders of their small 8-bit countries! Patch. Bug fixing patch that should clear all of prevously discovered errors, glitches and game-stopping conditions. Steams. There is a big likelihood that some of the twitch channels listed below will stream KingSim during the event! Check out if any of them are channels with your favourite streamers (or simply follow some of them if you want to see new cool videos, reactions and streams of cool people playing the game). Yogscast Gearomantic HylianFiend AlixIsPlaying Shambugi Pagrax PlasticineX Did you know that?.. Tiny Teams Festival 2022 is there to praise the smallest independet developers there are (most of the games in the Festival were made by less than 5 people in a team; and some were created by a single person). KingSim was mostly made by a family couple, outsourcing only the music and trailer creation. The next game by Fuzzy Pixel Game Studio will be larger in scale, thus we will include an additional story-writer and a non-part-time musician in our team! We're extremely proud to participate in Tiny Teams 2022 and will certainly try to make best original and interesting titles made by our tiny team! ːsteamhappyːPolitics rebalance and bug fixes updateJun 22, 2022 - Community Announcements{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36022155/007adecbefa552f42f80651ae1fa9df8c470abc5.png Hello, fellow Kings and Queens! In this update the following things changed: Political relationship change check no longer occurs when clicking on select buttons (left, middle, right), but can still change every 15 seconds Increased the amount of the initial relations changes with countries (depending on the player's choices before the appearance of politics) The effects of active actions in Politics menu have been increased (gifting resources to other countries, attacking other countries and sabotage is now more effective). So now it is easier to influence other countries. Increased the amount of army received by other countries every day from random(0.1) to random(0.2). Now countries will gradually become a bit stronger themselves to counteract player's growth. Every day now not only the army of countries will change, but also their attitude towards the player - random (-3,3). Thus, everyday changes of the relationship became more impactful then the changes during each day. In event №6 "Rapunzel" the difficulty of surviving from the Witch has been reduced. And certain bugs were fixed: Event with Rapunzel and the Witch. Previously, if you selected "do nothing" in the first question of an event, the wrong text was returned and the wrong decision variable was selected. The wedding event used to be repeated several times if you choose a secret wedding, refuse to be wed and put the Shepherd of Etakan in prison. When talking with the Necromancer after the execution of the Shepherd of Etakansky, some of the answer buttons were not active (could not press them). Esteban's pillage of the population did not work correctly (did not lead to death, reducing faith to 0). Missionary execution was not working correctly (didn't result in death, reducing faith to 0). Thanks for your patience and understanding! =DTrading Cards, Badges, Backgrounds and Improvements have arrived, sire!May 11, 2022 - Community AnnouncementsKings and Queens, Lords and Ladies! You've waited for it - we gave it to ya'! New KingSim update is now live: with trading cards to collect, badges to craft, backgrounds to seize, emoticons and stickers to gather. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36022155/48cbd604e4b061e92c41b42d35e8a077743a1344.jpg But that's not all! Come closer, come closer to hear the tale of this new update: BUGS FIXED: Overall around 50+ different small bugs and glitches are patched, My Lord. Some of the fixes are listed below... Some of the achievements were bugged and harder to get than anticipated (thought all of the achievements in are are currently owned by at least 1 person). The glitches has been worked around and now all achievements should be unlockable by a persistent gamer. Sometimes politics was buggy and all of the countries simalteneously hated the player. Now this should not happen (at least so often ːsteammockingː ). Sometimes the players settings of sound volume and fullscreen mode saved during the last playthrough did not load on the game launch. Fixed. Minor translation errors like giving Esteban the title of Baron would result in her getting the title of Duke. IMPROVEMENTS: All UI logic of the game was rebuilt from the scratch. And though it may not seem like a lot of things changed, now UI window's are updated only when they are interacted with (instead of some of their functions updating every frame). That increases FPS considerably and makes the UI work more consistantly. Load Kingdom button was added to death screen. Now it's easier to continue your previous run (in case you thought it wasn't THAT bad). New ending where the player can become the Necromancer himself added. To sum up: I hope you will like the new cards and updated more stable game build. Let me know what you think in comments below. Bug fixing update 03.09.2021Sep 3, 2021 - Community AnnouncementsHello, fellow Kings and Queens! I've heard your cries and shouts and spend some time fixing all of the bugs you've carefully gathered and transmitted to me. Thank you for your help in making KingSim less buggy! BUG FIXED: 1) Building the market makes no tutorial arrow appear when the adviser asks if you want to walk around the market on day 3. 2) Running out of happiness after taking a goat for yourself does not end in a game over. 3) Unknown merchant asks you to buy Ainie from prison even if you freed and married her (which loops the game logic). 4) Running out of health on the mine collapse event, triggers one of the dark rituals endings. 5) Spider Wife was trying to build peace between the people and the monsters but the last choice given is called "continue". 6) Having less than 10 money and choosing the negotiate option while deciding what to do with Esteban, then leaving the city, and paying with gold while dealing with her will just continuously loop back to the three options (pay, threaten, and ask her). 7) The shooting marker follows the deer when he runs away, making it easier for the player to hunt. 8) Holding any mouse button after the title screen is finished to roll up will make the "skip".Major KingSim update is now live!Aug 10, 2021 - Community AnnouncementsDear Kings and Queens, I'm very excited to announce that the HUGE KingSim story update I've been making this whole year after release is now live and ready to be downloaded via your Steam client. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36022155/07ba9a74bb7b61a61fa924db536a2ec8b348808e.png What's new in the update? Game+. New story events will appear after the 11th day of rulership. They will most certainly make the game more interesting while trying to survive, conquer the world, or make alliances on a political map. New characters. More different NPC's to interact and make friends with (or enemies if you will). New mechanics. You can now become an investor-king and profit through villages taxation or build schools to educate your peasants. Overall improvements. You can now skip the tutorials, control the sawmill with a keyboard instead of a mouse, create undead on the graveyard to help with protection when using dark magic. I'm excited to hear your feedback and really hope that new storylines that appear after the end of the main campaign will be as interesting as the main game was! For those of you who haven't seen the new 100+ deaths trailer yet - here it is. KingSim Major update releases on August 10!Jul 30, 2021 - Community AnnouncementsHello, fellow Kings and Queens! I'm happy to announce that my work on the KingSim update is finally over and it will be released next month - on the 10th of August. It took me and my wife almost a year more of work to make so I hope that everyone will be able to enjoy new free content. Game+. New story events will appear after the 11th day of rulership. They will most certainly make the game more interesting while trying to survive, conquer the world, or make alliances on a political map. New characters. More different NPC's to interact and make friends with (or enemies if you will). New mechanics. You can now become an investor-king and profit through villages taxation or build schools to educate your peasants. Overall improvements. You can now skip the tutorials, control the sawmill with a keyboard instead of a mouse, create undead on the graveyard to help with protection when using dark magic. To celebrate this event I've created a new KingSim Death trailer! There are more than 100 endings in the game now. I wish you all an interesting experience while playing KingSim. Signed: Game Developer New Story events for KingSim Major Update are done!!!May 17, 2021 - Community Announcements{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36022155/afa5d772276ca6b4bb09a7aaf24c3c0330ca75d4.jpg Hi, fellow Kings and Queens! I've finally managed to finish working on new in-game events for the upcoming KingSim update. I know it took me much longer than anticipated, but I've tried to make new decisions for players as fun and as meaningful as in the main story mode. In my estimation, the new KingSim update will provide players with about an additional hour to rule and make tough decisions. What left to do: - New character animations; - New death concept art and animation; - Few small changes and game improvements; - Testing of new content and bug fixing; I'll try to finish the Major KingSim update as quickly as possible. Thanks for waiting and believing in me!KingSim Developer Streaming during Pankace Week!Mar 8, 2021 - Community AnnouncementsWoohoo, Pancake Week is on! This means: - A nice discount for new Kings and Queens during the event; - A lot of Russian-made games are on discount as well; - I'll be streaming the game every day (or almost every day) from 8 to 14 of Match, chatting with viewers and some of my gamedev colleagues; In Russia, the celebration of the end of winter is called "Masleniza". Usually, we bake pancakes during this period and put hay stuffed dummy on fire (pretty medieval, right?). We also dance, sing, play games outside with children, and ride horses. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36022155/be6c2d3da57ffa8118ece8301328380ba404ac16.jpgKingSim First Major Update Coming Soon!Dec 30, 2020 - Community Announcements{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36022155/29b4f81c7f59d6f9132f80e2d2ab3fc324002969.png Finally, I'm ready to announce that I've finished the story design of the first Major Update! All storylines are neatly prototyped and stored using Miro. When all of the dialogues and player choices are done, now it is required of me to put all of that into my game engine. This may take a while, but the biggest milestone was passed! ːsteamhappyː {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36022155/30e84e4a5b2374fa1d5678a6e4887da51e978a7c.png In the coming update you will see: New story events! With different choices to make, new outcomes to see, and new ways to die! *oops* Game+ mode! Special new events that will appear after the "End Game" button appearance. They will make it more fun to conquer the world or make a peace with other nations. New Characters! Some of which were inspired by West-European, Eastern, and Slavik myths & tales. New gameplay features! Like citizens walking in your town and town investment menu. Small UI improvements. I plan to tweak some of the menus to make the UI more interesting. This update is taking me longer than expected. I think I've been a bit burned out after the game release which affected my productivity. But since I'm mostly a solo gamedev, I kindly ask you to be patient. I think I've fully recovered and now I'm working with maximum efficiency. I expect this update to launch in early 2021. I wish you all happy holidays! Stay tuned for news and don't hesitate to ask questions! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36022155/b9a2bf3224dce743f471c9c774d504d4e09e723f.pngKingSim soundtrack just came out!Jun 19, 2020 - Community AnnouncementsYo-ho-ho, Kings and Queens! The official soundtrack of KingSim is in Steam right now, ready to be bought. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1339060/KingSim_Soundtrack/ 16 songs, 8 of which were composed specifically for KingSim. !!! All the revenue gained from the sales of this DLC will be shared through music creators, KingSim developer will take nothing for himself. So, if you want to say "thank you" to the lovely musicians, who enhanced your KingSim experience - this soundtrack is a must have !!! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36022155/cfbd7d1fac9d28a5fa4f4f9e49bf378ebef30556.gif Update plans & NewsJun 1, 2020 - Community AnnouncementsHello, fellow Kings and Queens! I hope most of you managed to survive threw the main story already and see some ending to the story. I'm going to share some information about how I'm going to work on KingSim next, share my plans one point at a time. 1) Bug fixes. First of all, right now I'm gathering info (from you, players as well) about ingame bugs there are in the current game build. Right after the first week after the release ends, I will spend 1 week searching and eliminating those bugs, Lords and Ladies. If you saw some bug in the game - now would be the right time to shout about it in the "Report a bug" section in the steam discussions of KingSim. !!! Be mindful that your current save files will not work after the bug fixes. If you want to finish an interesting game save - you should do it now. I'm sorry that you will lose your save data, but there is no other way of improving the game technically and balance-wise speaking. !!! 2) Story updates. A lot of people gave me feedback that they liked the game, but felt that the story was a bit short and they want more content in the game. I've heard those prayers and after most of the bugs will get fixed - I'm going to spend several months developing some new story content in the game to increase your playing session time. Please be patient and generous, since I'm just a solo game dev (excluding the help of my wife with concept art) and cannot physically do it too fast. I did not intend the one storyline to be very long, but tried to maximize the branching storyline paths a player can take. 3) Ingame soundtrack DLC. You may have noticed that music in KingSim is quite catchy and fun for 8-bit tunes. Some of this music was made specifically for KingSim, while other was bought from certain different music stores and authors of music for games. I've managed to contact every single music creator of KingSim and convince them to sell all the music used in KingSim in DLC package for your enjoyment, my Lords. !!! All the income gained from KingSim soundtrack DLC will be transferred to the music creators. So if you want to say "thank you" for the nice vibes you've been listening throughout the game - please buy the soundtrack of the game. I will not take any revenue from it to myself !!! Thanks for taking the time to read this. I want to hear your thoughts in the comments below. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36022155/73673604742fd531fc5820792420a12448056aa4.gif KingSim just came out!May 28, 2020 - Community AnnouncementsA game has finally been released! Oh, Lords and Kings, Ladies and Queens! A lot of decisions to be made, a lot of NPCs is gonna die. And you... You're gonna die with 'em. Try to survive for as long as you can. Over a hundred different deaths to encounter and endure. Sure, game a bit smaller than I, as a developer, anticipated and planned, but it's still pretty fun! I'm planning to make some free updates to the game story as time goes on. Don't forget to leave an honest review and report bugs (if any) so I could make the game better. You can always connect with me via KingSim Steam discussion and - If you don't like the game - remember you could refund it if you've played for less than 2 hours. Remember: it's not getting to the end that counts, but the fun of the process. I wish you all to enjoy your 8-bit medieval experience! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36022155/b9d91ccc5f7f3eaa983341de1ac034f1d8430b88.pngRelease date changeMar 12, 2020 - Community AnnouncementsWell, Kings and Queens. I have some news for you: one is bad and the second one is sort-of-good. I'll start from the bad news. Due to the reassessment of my capabilities, my general inability to correctly predict the right time needed for completing tasks and the influx of sudden game bugs... I have to postpone the release. Again. The release is postponed to 05/28/2020. Each in-game day required me much more effort and time than I thought. I wanted to do everything right (as it seemed to me) gameplay- and story-wise. And it seems that I don’t know how to say “no” to myself when it comes to complex plot twists. And sometimes even the creation of very narrow ingame events which only a handful of players will find it. The previously taken additional development period of 1 additional month was not just not enough to finish KingSim - it turned out to be incredibly small. Even the sleepless nights behind the monitor with a sound of clicks of the keyboard and mouse did not save from this problem. This error I will not repeat the second time. Whats taking so long? Well, this is where the second news comes in. I'm not going to move release date anymore. KingSim will not be a game that has grown dust over the years of development, like many other projects that have not come out of the software-making hell for years. The game will be released at 05/28/2020 in whatever state of readiness it will be at that time. Even if it will have bugs or an incomplete story. But (!) in order to prevent this from happening, I intend to set myself a very tight framework. If I won’t have enough time to make a feature by the deadline - it goes under the knife of a feature cut (I will either finish it urgently "as is, even not very fun", or completely refuse the game feature). To comply with this release date, I made a plan in trello that clearly shows all the tasks I need to complete and all the deadlines. I had a similar plan before, but it turned out to be unrealistic and, as I said, now features will get cut in case of them taking too much time. I’m sharing the plan with you here and I will try to inform you about the completion of each task. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36022155/2ddced9ce16ba062f07687a55705b7091a77b2e0.png I've given myself two weeks for large tasks (like creation of an ingame day), and a week for smaller tasks (new game mechanics, interfaces). I have 2 months and 2 weeks for everything. Thank you fellow Lords, Kings and Queens for believing in KingSim and waiting for the release. I hope for your understanding and support, but I understand if you're getting tired of waiting and will stop supporting KingSim patreon page.Save / Load bug fixedNov 29, 2019 - Community AnnouncementsHi there guys! Finally I've managed to get in touch with engine developers (Clickteam Fusion 2.5 staff) and asked them a help with save/load bug. Now it seems to work just fine - you can save and load your game easily. By the way - the project is still in the making. Currently Im finishing day 6 or kingdom ruleship. So subscribe to stay in touch for further updates! =) {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36022155/cfbd7d1fac9d28a5fa4f4f9e49bf378ebef30556.gif
