Reduced the cost of workers in buildings that generate citizen needs.
Fixed the overlap of buildings that enhance other buildings so that the cost displayed in the projection adjusts properly.
Updates and Hot fixes 04
A manual save system has been implemented in roguelite mode. With this additional feature, the game now includes three different save files, including the standard autosave and recovery save. This approach ensures that the player's progress is always kept safe and secure.

A dual file-saving system has been implemented for the roguelite mode. Now, each time a new map is started, a file will be automatically saved in a different location.

Vertical Kingdom is out now!
Although it technically launched yesterday, we wanted to share our heartfelt thanks to everyone in the community who has supported the game. Your reviews, feedback, and continued support mean the world to us and we hope you continue to enjoy playing Vertical Kingdom for a long time to come!
🃏 Draw Cards & Build Your City
Raise towering cities using a card-based system. Pick five decks each turn, then play the cards to build upwards. Manage resources like food, water, bricks, wood, stone, and metal, all needed to ensure the city has room to grow and play new cards.
🏰 Revive a Lost Empire
As the Great Architect, it's your job to rebuild the Empire, one building and one region at a time. Undertake great expeditions to raise new cities in the Emperor's name and deal with the challenges of each region: Treacherous terrain, resource shortages, and ever-limited building space.
📝 Planning is Everything
Take ownership of every decision and every card played as all buildings are permanent, no redos. Plan around and synergize with imperial citizen’s homes and workshops. Produce more taxes, resources, and maintain loyalty to the Empire - and just maybe the locals will help you with the great evil that lurks among the ruins…
To celebrate the game's launch, Vertical Kingdom will be 10% off until April 22nd!
