Download Size: 16 MB.
We have just updated Fated Kingdom, releasing the 19th patch. According to the development plan, we continued to develop more game content by adding new cards, squares and flavors on existing cards. Now you have 134 cards and 64 squares on the board. But the most interesting stuff is still ahead!
At the moment we are concentrating our efforts on the processing of the project network part. It is still too early to draw final conclusions, we still need time to test, but over the next two to four weeks we plan to include our achievements in a public game assembly, available in Steam Early Access.
Once this is done, we will proceed to further improve the technical architecture of the game, as well as to create content for the next major update, which is scheduled for April. It is very important for us to have time to finish work on it in the stated period, in order not to have to postpone the release of the game and thereby increase the duration of Early Access.
New Content:
3 new cards: «The Moon», «Existential Crisis» and «Butcher Knife».
A new square on the inner path - Tunnel («Throw travel dice, draw as many cards and choose one.»).
Flavor text for 4 cards: «Lucky Horseshoe», «Moldering Intendant», «Wounds Dressing» and «Headless Horseman».
Other Changes:
Minor text and localization fixes.

Hi, we just released the seventeenth update for Fated Kingdom. There are new cards, a board square and the fixes of some errors, which have not reached for a long time. It is worth noting that at the moment the game is already stable, and only one fundamental problem remains.
Interaction with objects sometimes fails when one of the party members has a big network lag. Therefore, after the New Year, we began a large-scale refactoring of the game code. We decided to make some changes to the network code, as well as to revise the architecture as a whole.
This will allow to develop faster and more efficiently. Also in the coming weeks, we are planning to move the project to a new version of the Unity engine. Follow the news!

3 new cards: «Hollow Tree», «Unstable Portal» and «Ancient Arch».
A new square on the inner path - Shrine («Heal yourself a wound or draw a card.»).
Flavor text for 4 cards: «Horned Viper», «The World», «Pumpkin Knight» and «Guild Training».
Bug Fixes:
Fixed incorrect display of guild affilation at the «Bone Ward» card.
Fixed incorrect display of the cards counter, if there are more than 9 cards in hand.
Fixed a bug due to which objects could fly over the table borders when throwing them with big force.
Other Changes:
Changed the work of «Churchyard» square.
On all squares that are able to heal wounds, a clarification has been added regarding the fact that only your wounds can be healed.
Good day! We updated Early Acces info on the game page, and also posted a new project roadmap. And in this regard, we want to take stock of the past year. It was a turning point for us. It was in 2018 that we finally released our first game on Steam.
Yes, now Fated Kingdom is still in Steam Early Access, and before the full release at least nine more months. But since the beginning of Early Access, we have done a lot, releasing three major updates and almost two dozen smaller ones. The game already has 125 cards and 61 squares for the board, and there is still a lot of new content ahead.
We also do not forget about the technical side of the project. The programmer is constantly improving and refining the architecture of the project. A large-scale optimization and bug-fixing. And right now we are working on changes in the network part, which will allow us to get rid of the remaining problems.
Thank you for believing in us and playing Fated Kingdom!

First of all, these are three new cards. It is worth noting that since the beginning of Early Access, we doubled the number of cards in the game - from 60 to 120. Until the autumn, we plan to add a few dozen more cards. There will be 200 of them, as we promised. Similarly with the squares: at the moment there are 60 squares in the game, which are used when generating the game board.
We plan to add another 10-15 squares. The possibility of adding another guild is still under discussion, we are not sure whether to do this.

«Dead Watch» Update
Version: 0.4.20.122.
Download Size: 41 MB.
This is the third major update for the digital board game Fated Kingdom. In it, we present you the fifth guild - «Dead Watch». It is very different from other playable character classes. First of all, the fact that he can use the cards of defeated creatures as amplifiers in subsequent battles. Also this guild does not use Skill cards.
«This is not so much a guild as a religious order, leading its history since the days of the Old Kingdom. The law of that time obliged to bury the dead in a huge network of underground catacombs under the capital. When the dead began to rise from the graves, Watch began their rest. Now, when the undead have long been roaming the lands of Kinmarr, the king allowed watchers to return to the surface. In return, they swore an oath to solve the problem once and for all.»
New Content:
Fifth guild - «Dead Watch».

Update #14
Version: 0.3.20.116.
Download Size: 35 MB.
Regular updates are a guarantee of productive Early Access! We have released another patch for the digital board game Fated Kingdom. As always, it includes a standard set of new content - 3 cards, a square and flavors for cards already in the game. By the way, these descriptions are already quite a lot in the game.
For the most part, this update is technical. As content is added, the project starts using computer resources more intensively. In particular, after the release of the last two updates, people began to encounter game crashes. The last 2 weeks the programmer has been working to fix these problems.
They arise not so much from the inefficient use of resources, as from the hard limit for RAM in 32-bit Windows systems. When we started Early Access, many players asked us to support this OS, and we decided to include it support. Even if your computer has 8 or even 16 gigabytes of RAM, the game uses about 1.5.
But do not worry - we have many ways to reduce memory consumption, which will grow with the release of subsequent updates. Our task is to ensure stable work of the game on all computers.
New Content:
3 new cards: «Cunning Thief», «The Devil» and «Necromancer».
A new square on the inner path - Altar («You may pay 3 coins, draw any Creature from the deck and combat with it.»).
Flavor text for 4 cards: «Knight Swing», «Potion of Wisdom», «Renegade Militia» and «Skeleton Archer».
Other Changes:
Fixed a bug due to which the game could crash when drawing too many cards from the decks.
Fixed a bug due to which at each moment in time the game kept in memory all the music tracks.
Reworked card rendering system, now cards take up less space in RAM.
Minor text and localization fixes.
Thank you for playing Fated Kingdom.
