0.5.5.2 Release

Since my last post, I spent my time on fixing tons of errors, also I overhauled inventory system for 3-4 days, since I didn't want to fix the current shop system, and instead I expended current inventory system by making it much more flexible for trading and also adding possibility of sharing your items between your party. It's quite complex and currently it feels a bit messy, bugs are expected but there is none that I know currently. I'll probably polish it in future.

About bugs, there...

Report

Hello everyone, I'm sorry to say that ShySeel and I were very sick for a week, we couldn't get much work done this week.

  Before this week I had to make some changes to inventory as well as many small improvements to others system while I'm porting project, fixing some bugs as well. Currently I'm checking interactions like bounty board, NPC's and interactable objects. After I confirm combat and cutscene systems are functional, we'll release an update with our new forest asset...

Current Progress

 Hello everyone, for the past 2 weeks I'm dealing with projects conversion into new version of the engine while fixing some bugs and cleaning up my code in the mean time. Cleaning up my code actually took longer then importing project and making it working with the latest changes to the game engine. Most of the time I rushed many things for the sake of faster development, that added with my engines shortcomings eventually led to many unreadable/unfixable code. I was waiting for this upda...

Roadmap

 There are many things we want to do, we'd like to work on this project for a long time, even after it's release. First we need to complete story related assets inside Grimshear and Southbron Plains, those assets are:

• Gomrak's House, it's interior is mostly complete.
• Renovation of tents in Southbron Plains and characters; Ryle, Gwun, Vaeh and Dianna.
• Interior of...

Upcoming content and Roadmap

ShySeel and I come up with a road map to make things clear both for us and our community. Currently this game is very raw experience and one of us main objective is to add some juice in it.

 First  things first, we need to complete Grimshear. It's include many new buildings and one new special area that's very different then the rest of the Grimshear. We plan to add new maps with different terrain and enemies with lots of many loots that will also unlock many n...

We are taking a break

 I paused monthly charging for our patrons as we have decided to take a break this month. Many of you might just discovered us, but we've been working on this project for 2.5 years and we didn't took any break for more then half a year now and I think this is good time to take some time off.
See you next month!

Upcoming Update

 0.5.5 was really exhausting, I worked in an unhealthy way for a long time and I felt depleted after that release. I was looking forward to that update since my goal was making development process much smoother, I also hated not being able to release anything for like 4 months or something, which also made me push myself. And then, 0.5.51 was also an update where I pushed myself to make this whole 'regular update' thing real, but it was a mess. 

 So now I want to make an ...

0.5.5.17 Patch Notes

 Previous update had lots of game breaking bugs, but this update should make it more playable. I kind of rushed and made too many last minute changes, I'm still not used to frequently updating.

In the mean time we are remaking forest assets, you'll see some part of it in this patch. I'll add missing dialogues and I also plan to slightly change how loot system works in the next update.

Release 0.5.5.12

 Hello everyone! I uploaded new version yesterday but I didn't have any time to make a post. I also noticed some game breaking bugs so today the first thing I did was fixing those.

 I kept crunching for the previous update and after releasing the update, seeing how good things went gave me huge morale boost and I kept pushing myself more, which was stupid. Then I got burn out pretty hard so this update had to wait more then I originally planned.

 Anyway, I noticed t...

We want to open polls, but...

   Sorry I forgot to add that polls will be patrons only and I also forgot to make this post patrons only. 

 As some of you might now, this game started as an adult game, then I decided to separate nsfw content and sfw content so everyone can enjoy. Even though we have subscribestar account too, Patreon is much more popular. There is no problem with sfw polls but I want to ask if it would be okay to use discord for nsfw polls. I want to give advantages to higher...

Progress

 As much as I wanted to release an update today, both me and ShySeel worked hard for the previous update, so we decided to a little break. I still planned to release and update even if it wasn't much, but I had to deal with a game breaking bug for the last several days, which prevented me from adding content I planned.

Anyway, I fixed the bug yesterday, so I'll be releasing an update soon!

Bugfixes and Upcoming Content

 This release didn't go as bad as I feared, there was some game breaking bugs but some people even made it to Grimshear, which is great! Though I should've added an indication of when quests end, I completely forgot about that.

 Anyway it's been 1 week since the release and now I want to share what we have been working since:

Cutscenes and Interactions

•  Added one cutscene to secret tunnel to notify player about the lower part of the secr...

0.5.5 Released!

 It's been hard 2.5 months, especially this 2 weeks since I was away from home, we all worked really hard for this update. I really felt under the pressure since there is no way I could make this release early, but I feel like it was worth it.

 From now on, development should go much smoother. We had to remake lot's of thing to ensure that we won't have to make changes at basics again, since that requires remaking every content we have until that point. 

 I can...

0.5.5 Delay

 I failed to release the new update at the given time unfortunately, mostly due to a critical issue with my cutscene system and also there was some several other small issues. Everything is fixed now as far as I'm aware and I'm currently adding content and play testing at the same time. If you want to play daily testing builds, please join our discord and get yourself a tester role.

 I'm really excited with this build and I'll do my best to make it enjoyable. After this releas...

0.5.5 Preview

Hello everyone! We are almost ready for the next update, I planned to add more for this release but I don't want to postpone this release anymore, besides I'll be busy next 1-2 weeks so I want to be done with this update until 25th. I probably won't be able to add too much gameplay wise, but we plan to release regular updates from now on, so I'll be adding new content much more often. Also I guess there will be lots of bugs this update since we made so many changes/improvements, but I'll be d...

Progress Report

 Hello everyone! New update is coming along nicely, especially with kaanslmn dumping us a lot of sfx and bgm, which adds so much feeling to the game. I'm refining nearly every system I had up until now and ShySeel is also going over a lot of things. It takes time but we want to complete every system as much as we can before adding further content. I plan to finish working on engine at version 0.6 then focus on adding content.

  Adding story this update seems like a bad idea, s...

Upcoming Update

 Hello everyone, it's been more then a month since our last update, which was mostly about technical improvements. With this update we plan to bring some new content as well as polishing some old ones as always. 

 I know we are mostly silent about our progress, it's mostly because we were not sure about a lot of things like the current state we are currently in and the what we aim to do in future. So thinking about what we are doing and how are we going to do it was somew...

New Locations

I've redesigned the first room and added Alchemist's shop to Kingdom Lost. The upcoming locations in my list are the hospital and Blacksmith's shop. ~Shyseel

Old vs. New Improvements

I've renovated a lot of the old assets since the last update! Mostly improved animations and made new ones for future NPC's so that you'll be able to equip their outfits and gear once you've defeated them. ~Shyseel

Improvement post

The left image is my first attempt at the first room in Kingdom Lost. It's been 2 years since then and i've decided its time to renovate it for the 5th time. I'm renovating outdated assets as i add new ones. 

Alchemist's Shop

 A small mockup I've made for the new building and NPC: The Alchemist. Yuumosh and Gomrak's shops will be added in the next version!  

0.4b3 - Small update, mostly performance optimization

 Since the beginning, I never had a performance problem. But with new map Old Mine, increasing asset count, some technical improvements and upcoming mini map, I needed a loading screen, in which game draws the map when player first enters the room. Mini map still very rough though. It can be activated by using 'skill 4' key when not in combat(I forgot to turn off debug text, oh well..).

 I also added an automated method for generating collision layer in Old Mine, instead ...

0.4 Is out!

It's been 3 months since our last update. It's a long time, but we tried our best in order to add as much as we can.  We are excited to show what we accomplished so far!

We tried to add new content as much as we can, while going over some things we didn't like.

Project is on hold

  As much as I would like to give more clarity, I don't think I can at the moment, maybe later, for now I'll keep it short.

 This project is on hold at the moment, not sure for how long. I just want to do this properly and in the current state I'm in, it's not possible. Thanks for everyone who's supporting and supported us, I know we couldn't give much despite your support and I always felt bad about that. If you want refund, feel free to contact me.

New village area

 A small mockup i've made for the village map!

0.3 Alpha released!

Finally version 0.3 is here! We decided to keep this game as simple as possible since the beginning, but I wanted to make this game enjoyable as much as I can. So after long time, it's here with lots of improvements and new features.

If you played our older versions, do not forget to delete contents of C:\Username\AppData\Roaming\Kingdom_Lost

NPCs

These are the NPC characters i designed. They will wear different clothes with different bottoms to add variety. They are not wearing anything fancy since they are villager NPCs. But i made sure to throw in a couple interesting styles. Which one of these outfits are your favorite? 

~Seel

Town Buildings

These are the final version of the buildings for this update. These will be included in the next update, which is coming soon. I will be adding more buildings and i might be changing these in the future! I added as much detail as i could but feel free to comment if you have any suggestions and ideas. Thank you for your support!

Changes to tier rewards

• Starting with the next month, past and future WIP posts will be visible to everyone

 Even though we'd like to reward our patreons for their support(which means lot to us), we also want to involve people as much as we can so that we can keep people interested, even if they are not our patreon. Unfortunately we can't offer anything in Tier II but hopefully we will in future.

Improved Combat System

 Since last build, I mostly worked on story and combat system. I'll add new dialogues while changing old ones, cutscenes will be slightly different too. I plan to give player as much as choice I can but that mostly depends on time. I don't mean to rush things, but I also don't want to lose our momentum so I keep going back and forth, fixing old things while adding new things. 

 Anyway, I want to talk about updated combat system. Currently combat system is really fast and ...
