Build 3090
This build contains a few months of cumulative changes as well as some bigger developments. Lets dig into the changes!
Firstly, support for the upcoming community heads pack DLC has been added - keep an eye out for it on steam!
(Patrons of the appropriate tier can use the pack a little early due to how the packs are unlocked, enjoy)
This pack was created from the winning heads of the recent contest, congrats to everyone who's heads made it (there's over a hundred individual heads included!) and huge thanks to everyone who entered!
Stats support has been added. Verra, Furai, and JRGP are working on integrating this with all the official servers, which should happen soon.
This will provide persistent statistics as per this pitch and may form the basis for further persistent progression systems.
The Mapcycle for TDM has been updated. CTF changes are coming soon. Big thanks to the map moderation team!
Resupply now gives the full amount even if you already have materials. If semi-AFK builders become an issue we'll look as limiting resupply for idlers, but as it is the AFKs are automatically kicked anyway. This has been an often-requested change and was fulfilled through community development.
Other notable community developments include:
- Accolades have been updated with several tourneys worth of data.
- Some script format inconsistencies have been fixed (102 files changed!)
- Turkish in-game translation added
- Vehicle GUI will now be semi-transparent (big thanks to Andresian for doing the bounty)
- Shader support for mods (along with more functions for 3D mods)
- White minimap fix attempt (let us know if you see it after this update)
Check the changelog for more!
We hope you enjoy the update,
💖 THD

Build 2962 - Recording Mode Fixes, Community Recognition, Single Quarry Limit
Without further ado, here's the changes:
The big thing in terms of balance this build is a limit of 1 quarry per team. This is in response to the more competitive side of the game finding ways to really streamline quarry production and use it to stall out games. For servers who want that kind of thing, it's quite an easy change to revert.
There are also improvements to the f6 "video recording" mode for streamers and folks recording for youtube. This provides a cleaner no-gui experience for when you want a good screenshot or video capture.
The cursor is still visible, the spectator camera works again, going into menus will disable it all properly, and for modders, render hooks are still called (so you can decide manually what to disable).
Thanks to Epsilon for his work on this!
Quite a few minor fixes also made it in, and the main menu "minor function" buttons recieved a small facelift + reorganisation, as adding a button for the server rules pushed everything over too far.
Cheers,
Max
Full Changelog:
Balance:
[added] requirement for quarries to only allow one per team (thanks eps)
[changed] wood gained from sawing crates reduced to 50 (thanks eps)
Community:
[added] April + May accolades (thanks bunnie, crux)
[added] a bunch of patreon heads - sorry for the delay! (thanks everyone involved in getting these through)
Novaq, DeathQonDoe, killer_bug, capuchin6, Zeus, hider45543, CantSeeMe', madracoons, Junko enoshima, RectangleCombine
Localisation:
[modified] Portuguese_br.json updates (thanks matheusgodoi)
Fixes:
[fixed] maths ceil (+ floor possibly optimised) (thanks eps for the catch)
[fixed?] steam achievements for flag after changed command format - probably need to check any other commands that also changed too
[fixed] TTH Tutorial (thanks Vamist)
[modified] several scripts to properly check singleplayer/tutorial tags (rather than just exists, as may be set false)
[modified] render hook runs while HUD is hidden + various F6 improvements (thanks eps)
[fixed] class cursors not updated when in f6 mode
Menus:
[modified] new menu button layout including server rules and github (thanks ehra for your work on them + various oksa for feedback/tweaks!)

Build 2926 - Crashing hotfix
You should have an update for KAG available shortly. We've narrowed down the problem causing the crashes that you may have noticed since the last build and this update should fix them.
We decided to bump the game version to 2926 to make sure everyone is playing on the fixed version, please make sure to restart when the update is available (servers may start disappearing).
Our apologies to those who have had problems with crashes.

Build 2924 - Assists, more emote keys
To those celebrating: I hope you're having a wonderful Easter!
We've had a couple of small patches to fix issues that arose after we went free-to-play, but this is the first real update! This build mostly has bugfixes, but we're introducing a pretty exciting feature as well.
Straight to the point:
- Assists! When you contribute to a kill, you will now get assists. Assists are fully functional but this is the first public version, expect some finishing touches soon. Here you can see my dear friend Biurza assist me in killing Zanzibar:
- Numpad emoji support! You can now bind up to 18 unique emoji to the number buttons on your keyboard instead of the usual 9. Here is how you do it:
- Added missing accolades and added more Patreon custom heads.
- Joining a modded server will no longer require a restart
As always special thanks to our Patreon supporters and Github contributors.
For those not aware, KAG development is community driven and we are funded by Patreon. People post features they'd like to see and bugs they want squashed on Github and the community votes on the favorites - the favorites will receive a monetary bounty: whoever implements the feature or fixes the bug, gets paid! Assists are an example of this.

Build 2920 - KAG Free to Play after 8 Years
Firstly: Thank you for supporting King Arthur's Gold through the years! We never could have dreamed that our little indie game would make it this far, and are totally blown away!
Secondly, the actual news:
To celebrate its 8th birthday - Wednesday the 17th of April - KAG is becoming available on steam at no cost! The price should vanish around 12 noon PST, some of the team will be available around then to monitor things.
KAG has enjoyed an active community and continued development for the last 8 years, and we are hopeful that turning F2P will ensure another healthy 8 years to come!
Here's the rundown on how Free To Play will work:
- After it turns F2P it will be entirely funded by Patreon contributors and player customization DLCs on Steam!
Check out KAG on Patreon here
- The game is developed in collaboration with the community, through open source game code contributions and bounties!
View development on github here
- Fixes, new features, and official maps are added through democratic voting!
This is run via the Official Discord, join here
- Funds are put towards keeping the game running - including the account system, hosting the official servers, providing support, and paying open source bounties.
Depending on the level of support, we'll prioritise some things over others, and will endeavour to be as transparent as possible if that is necessary.
For Returning Players:
Players who owned the game before the F2P date will keep all their customisation options, will be golden in the scoreboard, and will get some surprise perks as well.
We encourage returning players to consider supporting KAG on patreon. There are some great perks including unique custom heads and special armour sets - and supporting us there helps keep the game sustainable into the future.
However, as a further thank you for your support, all returning players also get the in-game equivalent of tier 1 support for life!
For New Players
F2P is about accessibility - we want free players to be able to enjoy the full spectrum of KAG gameplay. The fast paced action of TDM, the tragedy and triumph of an hour long CTF match, and even the deeply complex role play mods and 3d total conversions. That means full access to all mechanics of the game, including all gamemodes and mods.
The only limitation for free players is customisation - and free players will be able to unlock the full customisation options with DLC purchases or patreon support. All players are also still able to set their gender and clantag without restriction.
We hope you'll give the game a look, and take part in our community. All aboard!
To reiterate: as of this launch, the game will be solely supported by patreon and DLC purchases.
DLC purchases are currently only available through Steam, a platform which has been hugely important to KAG over the years.
That said, we expect patreon to be the major source of ongoing funding, and would really appreciate all players who want to see a sustainable KAG in the future to give the patreon a look.
We look forward to welcoming everyone who hasn't had a chance to play KAG yet into the community - and hope to see some old friends back on the battlefield as well!
Lots of love, from all of us at THD.
