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! :)
