We have just released the 27th update for the digital board game Fated Kingdom. Initially, we planned to publish a large patch instead, since most of the features planned for it are ready. But we did not have time to thoroughly test them, so we decided to limit ourselves to an ordinary update with new content and minor changes.
In this update, we continue to improve the visual component of the game. The characters' figurines now imitate the bone material, and a hint appeared in the game interface regarding calling the help screen. In the coming months, we plan to add normal maps to many textures in the game. This will make the graphics more realistic.
We are also happy to announce that our game is taking part in the Steam Summer Sale. Within two weeks, you can purchase Fated Kingdom with a 45% discount. The game is already taking the final form, bugs and problems in the past. It is a perfect time to buy a game with friends and dive into our grim world.

We are pleased to present you the 26th update of the digital board game Fated Kingdom. We decided to pay attention to the visual part of the project and added five new character figurines. Previously, we used one for all guild, it was a temporary option, and now each player will have their own special miniature.

We are pleased to present you the 24th update of the digital board game Fated Kingdom, which includes a standard pack of new content, minor bug fixes and textures optimization. Previously, we also adjusted the development plan and Early Access information. And now let's talk about the main thing - the long-awaited move to the new version of engine.
After the release of the «Towers of Kinmarr», we wanted to throw all our efforts into updating the game to the current Unity engine. It was originally planned to do this earlier, but only now we have time for this. The new version will allow us to improve the work of the game, as well as take advantage of the new engine features. For example, we can now improve anti-aliasing.
We have carefully checked the performance of the game after the update, but non-critical errors may still remain. It will be very nice if you come across them, let us know in the comments to this post or in the discussion section. This update will be the basis for the subsequent improvement of the game on it’s way to a full release.

We also adjusted the dates and content of the following updates. The next big patch will be in July this year, and the release is scheduled for Early Fall.
We also adjusted Early Access information. The biggest change is the rejection of the price increase. We believe that the cost of the game should not be increased or decreased, because at the moment it suits us completely.

«Towers of Kinmarr» are waiting!
«Towers of Kinmarr» is the fourth major update for the digital board game Fated Kingdom. It is time to tell about the consequences of numerous attacks on the kingdom and the emergence of hope for salvation in the form of Towers - ancient buildings that go deep underground. Citizens of Kinmarr believe they will be able to wait out the impending catastrophe. But it is not.
UPDATE FEATURES
10 new cards
New card type - Towers
3 new board squares
Voice chat
Reworked sounds
For us, this is a big and important release. We added completely new sounds to the game for the main objects, sorting by guild in the card gallery, numerous balance adjustments and, of course, 10 new cards and 3 squares for random board generation. A full list of changes is available below, but first we want to continue the story of the game.
STORY
With the Dusktide cult in the kingdom of Kinmarr, truly troubled times began. Undead army advanced from the coast inland, destroying one settlement after another. A few garrison detachments died at the hands of the cultists or joined the Apostle of Dusk. The Watchers were the only glimmer of light in this kingdom of the night.
They fought valiantly with the dead, and then buried their shells in the ancient mounds in accordance with the traditions of the Old Kingdom. For a moment, it seemed that this was a turning point in the war against the undead, but when the army of Connetable Gothric approached the capital, the people of Kinmarr realized that it was time for them to seek shelter in the catacombs.
The reconstruction of ancient buildings, which once watched the rest of the inhabitants of the Old Kingdom, began. They were called Towers, stretched not only up but also deep into the earth. It is much easier to defend the Towers than the big city, and for the first time in a long time, the guild members have a new inspiring goal - rebuild all the Towers.
Perhaps they will save Kinmarr. Or become the last refuge of its inhabitants.

Hotfix 0.4.24.134a
Version: 0.4.24.134a.
Download Size: 2 MB.
In this update we have made some changes to network part of the game. Specifically, the forwarding rules for network packets have been changed.
This can potentially fix some problems that sometimes arise on the side of users connecting to servers - the lack of guilds to select at the beginning of the game, the disappearance of some objects after connection, the creation of card duplicates. We will be very grateful to you if you try the game with this update.
It is advisable to play with a full composition of four players. Since this change is largely of a test nature, we ask you to write about any problems you may encounter. If there are no problems, write it too - so it will be clear to us that the fix works exactly as we intended.
