Vertical Kingdom is set to launch April 15th!
š 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.
š° 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.
š 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 citizenās 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 ruinsā¦
ā³ Join the Countdown

New Art
I am thrilled to share some exciting updates with you. Firstly, I would like to apologize for the delay in providing you with updates. I have been tirelessly working to enhance every aspect of the game's art, and let me tell you, it has been an absolute blast!
I have dedicated my time to improving the main landscapes, the user interface (UI), and the cards themselves. The transformations are truly remarkable, and I can't wait to show you. To give you a sneak peek, I'll be sharing some captivating screenshots that highlight the tremendous differences we have achieved.
But that's not all! In just a few months, I aim to present you with a playable demo. This means you will have the opportunity to test out and experience firsthand all the new improvements we've made. From enhanced visuals to delightful new music tracks, you're in for a treat!
I would like to express my deepest gratitude for your patience and unwavering support. Your encouragement has been invaluable to me throughout this journey. I would also like to invite you to join our Discord community and follow me on Twitter. Your active participation and engagement truly make a world of difference.
Thank you once again for being a part of this amazing adventure. Wishing you a delightful day ahead!
Warm regards,
Dynamic Building
Right now I'm finishing the Sandbox mode and the Dynamic Building. I hope to show you a video of how the dynamic building works in the game soon. The idea is that you can build vertically and horizontally on certain buildings, and the building will change in appearance, giving the city a more organic view, I think you will love it! In fact, in my case, even knowing the tiles, I'm always surprised with the possible combinations of the buildings.
It has been a titanic work, because it required to draw a lot of tiles depending on different situations. And my goal is to allow different building combinations, for now we have the small brick house and the tower brick house, but at least the stone houses will have this option too and I hope to have time to add this feature to more buildings.
I will show you an image of my testing city in the sandbox mode. Some buildings are very ugly, but you can see the possible potential and the truly Vertical Kingdom.
I hope to prepare a video soon.
In the meantime, The pixel artist is working on a total redesign of the landscapes, and the musician is creating really nice tracks. Once I have the first landscape done I will show it here.
Thank you again for your patience!

Demo Deactivation & Updates!
I'm going to be turning off the demo for now. I know this is sad, but donāt worry. This is actually a good thing!
I am doing some major updates to the game and the current demo is not reflective of those changes. For starters, new graphics are being added to the game which I believe will enhance the experience for players. We are also adding a new featureā¦but I donāt want to spoil it so stay tuned!
However, we will be doing a playtest in the near future with the new demo after I finish adding the new features to the game. Very excited for you all to try the updated demo and to hear your feedback.
You can go to our discord to stay tuned about the new features that I will implement very soon and chat with our great community. Thanks and see you next time!
Update of the Demo
Hi! I updated the Demo with a new mode called Vertical Kingdom, this mode is a free mode, where the player can create a city without objectives and with more wide landscapes. I hope you like it!
The idea for adding this new mode is let the player play at their own pace and learn how the game works, and if they feel that they want to try something more challenging they can go to the next mode that is the expedition, that is the old mode of the game, the roguelite mode. I hope you like it.
I added a river landscape and I have to improve the cloud map and the desert map, I hope to do those soon.
I forgot, I added more buildings to the demo, I added some in the city progress tree and others in unlockable with population.
I hope you like it!
