Tales of a Spymaster

Release Day - Update 3

Hey All!

So for my final update today, I shall be adding a small new feature which may prove useful for players, so they can get an idea of the population in their kingdom vs a rough estimate of population in opposing kingdoms.

Simply clicking this new little button


Will open this panel containing a summary of the kingdom population


Also included in this update are various bug fixes which may have affected some players.

I will be going offline after this update is live but I will get back to fixing bugs tomorrow when I am online :)

Release Day - Update 2

Hey All!

Plenty of issues being reported. Thanks for sharing them and I will try my best to resolve them as quick as I can. The problem of being a solo developer, is that most of the issues do not happen on my machine, so it will take me some time to resolve some of them! :)

Another update is going live in a few minutes anyways. So what is new in this one?

Features



  • WASD Keyboard controls support
  • An extra indicator in the tutorial after build black market as to what you should do


Bug Fixes



  • Disabled the 2 intro videos as they are causing issues for people
  • Removed some German translations as there is an issue with them
  • Fixed text alignment and visibility issues in certain languages


Along with the mouse support, here is the updated keyboard controls scheme:
N -> Turn on/off the UI.
Y -> Let the game automatically play without you. Press again to disable.
M -> Turn on and off the music.
T -> End the current turn.
WASD / Arrows -> Control Camera Movement.

I will try to continue resolving bugs, please do make sure to keep reporting them to me! :)
