Hi Grims! It's Oak here, and today I'd like to give you an update on some changes about Death and Taxes, and some exciting news about our next game, too!
First and foremost: the game should now be more stable, with less issues with getting a "black screen" on startup on some hardware. If it does still happen, please let me know!
Secondly, we decided to make the game a bit more accessible to achievement hunters >_> We changed the way a certain achievement works, and without spoiling too much, it still triggers at the same time as before, but just with different (read: way more possible) conditions.
You might know what I'm talking about if you've been around long enough <_<
So that being said, we're still on our way with some localization projects, we will hopefully have a Chinese version coming this month or next! In addition, the Spanish localization effort is about 70% complete and the Turkish one is *nearly* done at 99%!
Meanwhile we've been hard at work with our next game, Broken Alliance! We decided a while ago that we are going to try something interesting in the adventure-strategy genre, so we are going to have a deckbuilding element to the combat there. I also have a bit of concept art to share with you :3
Read more about Broken Alliance on its own page and don't forget to wishlist ^_^
And to end off, a big thank you to archie from our community for making Leene and I these wonderful Fate charms *_*
Absolutely delightful.
And that's it for now! Thank you all for your time and I hope y'all have a great week :3
PS: don't forget that if you want some extra Death and Taxes relaxation, you can check out this COLORING BOOK if you didn't know it exists yet
Death and Taxes Summer Sale + Fan Art Showcase!
Hi Grims! Oak here. Time for another big-ass sale (with a historical low of -70% off) and me showing off some really really neat stuff our community has been creating, inspired by Death and Taxes!
BUT FIRST! I want to shout out our new game that we're working on, called Broken Alliance, where you have to play as one of four factions in a magical world which is about to implode to try and survive or prevent the coming cataclysm. If you've ever heard of game series like Age of Wonders, Master of Magic or Heroes of Might and Magic, then this is definitely something for you! If not, it will have our signature style of narrative heft, but more complex gameplay compared to Death and Taxes, so perhaps you would still be interested :3
But now, without further ado: behold the coolness
The Art of Death - a massive collaborative project culminating in a 100-page fan-zine
You can check it out RIGHT HERE, it's a 40 megabyte PDF so give it some time if it doesn't open immediately!
A big big thank you to everyone involved again, it's just... freaking wild what our community does x_x
Fate + Hawaiian Shirt by betelzebub (also our capsule image for the Summer Sale!)
That's it for the showcase... for now >_>
If any of you are interested in showing off your Death and Taxes creations, do let me know on our Discord!
Enjoy the summer everyone! And take care, wherever you may be ^_^
Much love, -Oak

Happy two-year anniversary of Death and Taxes
Hi Grims!
Oak here. Nice to soo you, if you're still reading these, after all these times, and if you're new, welcome!
A few days ago we hit the two year mark with Death and Taxes. It's been a glorious time since then, and our community is still quite cozy (hopefully in the coming time we will have some more news to share on that part too!). So cozy in fact, that there was a group of people who worked together to make a 100-page fan... art... fic... zine? to commemorate the occasion.
What in the what, I thought, having been steadily teased in our Discord server. I don't know what I was expecting, but this is beyond anything I imagined. It's a herculean effort of artistry and fandom spirit, and it's a wonderful read if you're into Death and Taxes. Because it is very much, Death and Taxes, basically more of it.
A big thank you from us all to you. And thank you for the zine, it's extremely inspiring! Al, Liam, Tolp, Tad, sal, sam, Mich, Sketchy, Archie, Graham and Azumei, you've made something absolutely wonderful!
And you, too, can find it, and read it on our Discord!
Much love, Grims, and thank you for everything! -Oak
