Today we've published our largest update yet with an entirely new dungeon to explore! 7 new enemies, 17 new maps, an Overworld city with shops, plus hundreds of bug fixes and improvements!
The Cyclopean City is an ancient architectural nightmare uncovered by pilgrims far to the north -- Adventurers may travel by boat from the castle farm to discover what horrors were unveiled by these naive excavations!
Infinite depths of terror and the abominable Shoggoth await!

Mac & Linux Released
Today we published the Mac and Linux ports for The Yellow King!
We have a very small programmer team of two, so it's difficult to test the game on a lot of configurations. If you have any issues on Mac or Linux we want to get them fixed ASAP -- Let us know at Contact@Spellbook.com or on Discord at https://discord.gg/b9qjXEN
We've also updated the Windows client with some new features! Minimap markers make finding things more easy, signposts guide players around the Overworld, AI pathfinding is better, and a lot of performance and memory issues were fixed during the porting process.
By the end of next week we hope to launch our largest content update so far: The Cyclopean City! Players will discover an entirely new dungeon with new maps, monsters, bosses, puzzles, loot, and more!
The Cyclopean City is a frozen Antarctic hellscape populated by twisted abominations from The Deep -- The Shoggoth, and their enslaved human cultists!

Hardcore Mode & Shoggoths
This week we've updated Hardcore Mode with a significant boost in challenge and reward, made improvements to AI behavior, and modified player physics in preparation for new features in our next dungeon: The Cyclopean City!
Due to the coronavirus lockdown we've pivoted our development roadmap to accommodate working from home, so features that don't require team collaboration are being prioritized: That means lots of new monsters and maps!
Our AI designer has been hard at work crafting four horrifying Shoggoths to serve as sub-boss and boss encounters in The Cyclopean City. Each has an assortment of puzzle-like abilities, such as psychic screams, poisonous slime trails, and tentacle-grabs that drag unwary explorers into their hideous gaping maw!
Once released this will be the largest content update of The Yellow King since early access launch! We've already begun internal testing, and our goal is to deliver the new dungeon to you in about 3 weeks.
All of our updates come from player feedback -- Thanks for helping build The Yellow King!
