- Fishing now reduces size of River by 2 instead of 5. - Hunting now gives 1 Deer and 2 Mushroom. - Added Mushroom find chances to Forest, Grasslands, Farmlands, Pasture, Farm. - Added extra 1 Deer chance to Hunt job. - Added extra 5 Fish chance to Fish job. These changes aim to help with early survival while still keeping hunting/gathering an unreliable food source. - Pasture and Farm jobs now output products proportional to their progress when Winter arrives instead of outright cancelling the job. If a Farmer is done 30% when Winter arrives, you will get 30% of products. - Snake Nests can no longer raid. - You can now safely retreat from a battle if you are the attacker. You would previously get happiness penalty.

Hello everyone, neighbors update is finally here. First of all, thank you for your patience. Figuring out how to implement neighbors without breaking the core gameplay took a little longer than I expected. With that said some of the features from Devlog #6 and #7 is completely removed/reworked. Let's go over some of the changes.

Start

Our Nomad now starts his journey with Cliff, Wilderness and 2 Meal cards. He has to explore the Wilderness, and find a place to call home.
Once Forest or River card is discovered, he will also meet his first neighbors.

Neighbors

Each neighbor has their own forces and loot. Once conquered we will claim their loot and discover the next neighbors in our path. We must be careful though, neighbors further down the path have better forces and each year they will come to raid us.

Disasters

Certain situations in our settlement can lead to various disasters. We will be notified of these situations beforehand but we must be quick to respond in order to prevent a disaster.

Trading

Once we build a Marketplace, a Trade Route that connects us to our neighbors will be created as well. Our Traders can travel this route with some Coin and Horses in order to try and get the best deal for our Coins.

Resource Sources

While exploring the Wilderness, we will discover some resource sources such as Forest, River, Quarry etc. But these sources are finite, and even though they'll help us at the start, they are not enough to build an empire.
Some sources like Forest and River idly regenerate but not all do. These sources can be expanded by conquering your neighbors.

Conquest

Defending side always have the most to lose so they'll always have an upper hand. If we start a conquest, battle width will match the enemy cards and we won't be able to add more cards to the battle than they do. We have to make sure our forces are stronger than theirs because we won't have a second chance.
Defending however is easier, we can utilize Frontline cards such as Wood Walls or Walls and have our archers safely attack behind these walls.

More

There are many more changes, difficulty settings, board customization settings, added many new cards, removed many old cards, balanced battle stats and monthly requirements further, improved tips, new dynamic jobs feature, improved performance and fixed (a lot of) bugs. So hope on, check them out yourself and don't forget to give feedback.

Notes

I'm happy to announce that starting with the visuals we are actively removing all the generative AI content from Paper Kingdom. This was made possible with your support, so once again thank you! Next major update will only focus on expanding the content from this version. At this point I consider Paper Kingdom almost done. I expect a full release with the new visuals sometime this summer. Hope you enjoy your time with Paper Kingdom, see you later <3

[ 2025-02-25 18:18:38 CET ] [ Original post ]

These changes are work in progress and NOT in the current version of Paper Kingdom.

Hello everyone, we are back again with another feature focused devlog. These last two devlogs might come off as boring to some but these features will help us build a richer world. This is the last feature focused devlog before the version 4 update. Next devlog (#8) will focus on more content (cards, situations, state cultures).

Battles

• Battles now have attacking/defending sides.
• You can now add buildings (only Walls for now) to a battle if you are the defending side.
• Battling cards now have three different positions (Frontline, Melee, Ranged).
• Target deciding is changed to prefer Frontlines first, Melee second and Ranged characters the last.
• Melee cards on defending side is reserved and can't attack until the Frontline is destroyed.
  

Situations

• Situations now also display their sources and which cards they will interact with. You can also click on these icons to focus them.
  
• Invasion situations no longer have static forces. It now depends on the invading neighbor's forces.
• Removed "Scary Beast Approaches" situations.
• Battle situations now have global cooldowns.
• Added new functionality "fire situation" to battle outcome. This helps chain certain situations and will be used in expedition situations later on.

Quality of Life

• Battling cards now reattach to their previous parents after the battle is over.
• Changed Toolbox card to Chest and it can also hold any Animal, Resource, Food, Tool, Weapon, Recipe card now.
• Custom split menu.
  
• Changed situation source/subject selection logic to prefer cards that are the least annoying instead of random selection, this bias is probably not perfect and can be improved later with your feedback.
• Cards now recheck/reprioritize their jobs each time their children change.
• Cards that output more of their input (such as Farmlands), now prioritize to fill their requirements using their output. This helps with micro managing because you no longer need to make sure Farmlands have enough Wheat to level up for example.
• Added new preference setting "Handle Seasonal Situations" which auto handles "Season Arrives" situations after a year. Set to true by default (previous behavior).

Cards

• Added new card Wilderness.
• Removed Pirate Haven card, pirates will be added back as a neighbor state.
• Enemy cards now have a chance of dropping their tools/weapons when they die (100% for friendly cards)
  
• Some cards now have hidden chances of firing situations.
• Card update functionality is changed to also update their base tags. For example, if the game upgrades every Tribesman to Villager, a Farmer card that was previously a Tribesman will also upgrade its base tag to Villager so once you unassign Farmer profession you will no longer get a Tribesman but a Villager.

Bugs

• Fixed battle hover not displaying "Create" section right in some cases.

See you at next devlog, these are not the only changes in version 4.

[ 2024-11-18 09:17:11 CET ] [ Original post ]

Thank you everyone for supporting the Early Access phase of Paper Kingdom. Feedback you provided paints a clear picture on where to improve and hopefully you will like what you see in this devlog.

These changes are work in progress and NOT in the current version of Paper Kingdom.

Neighbors

Settlements and animals are no longer just in-game events but living entities.
You can discover other settlements while working on various jobs, assign diplomats or pay tributes to improve their opinion of you and send spies to gather intel about their forces. You can invade settlements for their resources. Settlements with low enough prosperity can be conquered for good. You can also trade with these settlements as long as they are not rivalrous. Each settlement has a hidden "culture" some are rarer than others and their culture determines their market and what they drop when conquered.

New Features

• Some jobs are no longer guaranteed to succeed and is chance based.
  
• You can hold right click to keep getting more cards from the stack, also increased attach to stack range.

Changes

• Having a recipe also unlocks it now, so if you buy a recipe from your neighbors you will permanently unlock it.
• Settlers can eat Meals that are attached to other cards as long as they have unreserved amounts. So you can safely attach your 10k stack of Meals to Port now.
• If a settler doesn't eat at least half of their monthly Meal requirement, they will lose 1 Health point. This means some characters can die before they get angry enough to leave. Not paying them still makes them angry but no health penalty.
• If a settler eats half or more than half of their monthly Meal requirement it will auto heal the settler for 2 Health points.
• Idle Settlers tip is now separated into Idle Settlers and Idle Ships

New Cards

• Tribal Bow (Crafted with Sticks and Raw hide)
• Hunter (Tribesman + Tribal Bow = Hunter)
• Horseman (Hunter + Horse = Horseman, Horsemen are really strong early game soldiers but they require Coins to maintain and only way to get Coins early on is invading higher ranked settlements)
• Deer (Can be hunted at Forest with Hunter, gives 5 Meat and 1 Raw hide same as Cow)
• Fishing Net (Crafted with Raw hide)
• Fisher (Character + Fishing Net = Fisher)
• River (Fisher can fish here, it has limited Fishing jobs)
• Fishing Ship (Fisher + Ship = Fishing Ship, can fish at Sea, fishing at Sea is also limited now)
• Gold Ore (Obtained through Mine, can be smelted into Coins at Forge)
• Herb (Can be collected by Witch and Scholar at Forest, used to cure Plague)
• Spear
• Spearman (Early game soldier)
• Axe
• Axeman (Early game soldier)

New Situations

• Flax Discovered (Discovery of Flax similar to how you get Wheat for the first time, you can still get Flax at Farmlands)
• River Discovered

See you at next devlog, these are not the only changes in version 4.

Fixed Butchery requirements not scaling with building level (it was only a visual bug, now fixed) Character cards now also display if they are working on a scaled job. Previously "Growing Wheats" would be "Growing Wheats (Lv. 5)" now. Added a shortcut for centering the board (SHIFT + F) Added a toggle for edge scrolling

[ 2024-10-09 11:51:20 CET ] [ Original post ]

It's kind of a weird one, seasonal background tint texture would always follow the middle of the screen instead of adjusting to the whole frame on some systems. Changed it to be a just one really big texture staying put at the center instead of trying to "smart" scale. No one reported this before but in case you still have this problem let me know.

[ 2024-10-03 05:51:15 CET ] [ Original post ]

Added new option "auto focus battles", set true by default.

[ 2024-09-30 00:37:46 CET ] [ Original post ]

Fixed ship repair job getting stuck at first ship while trying to repair multiple ships. Fixed jobs assigning multiple cards of the same requirement in rare cases. Fixed saddle updating all attached horses to warhorses instead of just one, thereby effectively destroying the horse stack.

[ 2024-09-28 05:55:56 CET ] [ Original post ]

You can now repair ships at Shipyard using half the resources required for building a Ship

[ 2024-09-27 23:15:42 CET ] [ Original post ]

Changed colony card to require "at least one Port card" on board instead of "just a Port card" on board.

You can now heal Dogs using 1 Meal with 1 Character. Slowed down the 1x time scale by 50%.

Fixed characters dying from counter-attacks causing battles to get stuck. Fixed dodging from ranged units causing battles to get stuck. Fixed some battle outcomes causing battles to get stuck. Fixed being able to auto fill battles with leaving settlers. Fixed being able to auto fill battles with leaving enemies.

[ 2024-09-23 11:32:34 CET ] [ Original post ]

Fixed game UI not scaling correctly on different resolutions and ratios. Tested with 4:3, 16:9, 21:9. Tested with 100% to 350% scaling on 4k monitors. If you experience any other scaling problems with the UI please let me know.

[ 2024-09-21 22:44:13 CET ] [ Original post ]

Fixed character card tooltip not displaying the correct health values for damaged cards. Fixed settlement status bar overflowing. Fixed settlement status bar not spacing tags properly. Fixed Shipyard trying to upgrade General to Captain instead of Soldier.

[ 2024-09-21 13:04:30 CET ] [ Original post ]

Fixed stuck at green board at first launch. Fixed recipe names not translating properly at settlement status menu. Fixed a save file not getting auto created at first launch. Everyone who never played the demo version thus not having an already existing save file at their disk experienced these issues. I'm sorry for this annoying experience, major overlook on my part.

[ 2024-09-20 22:38:15 CET ] [ Original post ]

Fixed UI not scaling to 1440p monitors in the right way. Removed some dev functions left in the game files. Known and working on: If you choose to play in windowed mode, UI won't scale with the window size.

Future Plans?

- Right now weapons assign professions, I would like to change this to equip/unequip so that we would have one Soldier that can equip different weapons. This way we can also have rare weapons with different stats. This would also enable a Tribesman to equip a Bow for example. Imagine a samurai card dual wielding two katanas :D - Add raid/conquer mechanics, right now battles are about defending your settlement, I would like to add raids so that you can also use your army to exploit and plunder. - Add King/Queen. We had this in earlier versions but it wasn't liked a lot. Maybe with detailed features a Royalty update would be nice. - Exploration is only limited to colony card now. We could expand on this to explore foreign civilizations which could through diplomacy or force give us rarer cards. - Magic, I like that the Paper Kingdom world is realistic and there isn't monsters or magical abilities. We can expand on Witch card to introduce low level "magic" such as poisons and healing potions to this world. As always your feedback is the highest priority here. These are not promises but only my suggestions. THANK YOU! It's been a great journey so far, let's continue building.

[ 2024-09-20 11:13:14 CET ] [ Original post ]

Combat mechanics changed a lot from what I originally planned to implement, thus the dev time it took to implement it. We believe this is a really good starting point for the combat mechanics and we will be improving on this in future iterations. This update will be pushed to the demo version with the Early Access release. Battles have width (1 to x) and type (naval or land) that are pre determined by the game events. A battle with 3 width can only have 3 cards at one side, and a naval battle can only have naval units fighting in it. Later we plan on adding "height" to battles as well, so the ranged cards would be attacking from behind.
This is a Raid event. Raid events are further explained in Early Access announcement. Every character, some animals (bear, dog, wolf) and transportation cards have combat stats. Later we will also add combat stats to buildings such as Walls.
Combat stats of Assassin, this card is only obtainable through game events.

Combat Stats

Attack: How much damage a card deals at a successful hit. Health: How much damage a card can take before dying. Damaged cards can be healed at Hut, Cottage, House or Barracks. Accuracy: Chance of a successful hit. Simulated before the defender's evasion and block chance. Evasion: Chance of dodging a successful hit. Simulated right after accuracy. Block: Chance of blocking a successful hit. Simulated right after evasion. Counter Attack: Chance of hitting the attacker while defending. You can only counter attack after you successfully evaded or blocked the incoming hit. Ranged cards such as Archer and Artillery can NOT counter attack. Naval units are exception to this rule, all naval units are ranged and can counter attack. Critical Hit Chance: Chance of a critical (2 times the damage) hit. Simulated after evasion and block. Break Shield Chance: Chance of destroying the block stats of defender card with a successful hit. Cards with broken shields can't block during the ongoing battle anymore. Attack Rate: Cooldown before this card can attack again. Attack Speed: How long it takes for this card to attack and return back to it's battle position. For ranged cards such as Archer and Artillery it's the speed of their projectiles hitting the defender.

Combat Mechanics

[previewyoutube=laWbZ-wk_Vc;full][/previewyoutube] - Before fighting a battle you will need to add cards to it. SHIFT + Right Clicking on a battle will auto fill it with cards that are highest in attack power. - When you are ready, you can hold Ready button to start the battle. You can also choose not to fight by readying a battle without adding any cards. Not fighting a battle will make your settlers angry and you will be considered the losing side. - You can see the consequences of a battle by hovering over the i icon. - Once a battle is ready, every card in it will get a random cooldown depending on their attack rate. - Cards will prefer to fight enemy cards that are closest to them.

Thank you everyone for your interest and valuable feedbacks during the Next Fest. I will be responding to every feedback once I have something solid to show for it. With this devlog, we will be going over most requested features, gameplay changes and bug fixes. I will be writing about the battle update on a separate devlog. These changes are NOT live in the demo version as of right now. Demo will be updated together with the battle update.

New features:

- You can have multiple save files now. - Character cards now indicate which job they are working on and whether or not they are idle in the infobar.
- Card push away logic is rewritten to always prefer older cards except if the newer card is locked. Push away power is also changed to order cards right next to it. [previewyoutube=o8dV9SETd2w;full][/previewyoutube] - Card texts now fade away as the camera zooms out so that it's easier on the eyes. This effect can be toggled through settings menu. - Some buildings now have levels, job requirements scale with building levels (doubles for each level but subject to change) and in order to level up a building you need to complete jobs that grant experience. Jobs that grant experience are limited but they scale with the building level. Level 1 version of every job that scales is also available and they are unlimited. Even though I like the freedom of having 50 Farmers on 1 Farmland, this change aims to make it redundant because managing many cards become annoying super quick.

Gameplay changes:

- You can see the requirements for recipes in the recipe menu now. - Cards now return to their last valid position if they were released on top of a card they can't be attached to. - Descriptions for types instead of tags now clearly indicate which tags of that type are valid options.
- Requirements now have "except" mechanics, only useful for Marketplace right now. - Character cards now equip the tools they built, only if they can actually equip it, a Woodsman building Farmer Tools won't equip it. - Days now have 24 ticks (it was 4 before), this change was made for simulating the battles better. - Game speeds 2 and 3 are adjusted to match the game speeds before the tick change. - Added 1 more speed option (turbo) and made speed 1 slower. - Cards now also have coin values. - Marketplace now requires 10xResource + Trader or 1xAnimal + Trader to trade.
- House no longer has a manager job, automation of Meal production is moved to new card Inn. - Locked cards don't auto-destroy at 0 amount now. These cards can't be attached to any other card and will be auto-destroyed if they are no longer locked. If they were attached to a card before they got 0 amount however they will stay attached. - Attached cards now get stacked if the parent card has any other of that tag. (If you attach 1xMeat to a Butchery that already has 4xMeat attached to it, Meat cards will stack together to 5xMeat) - Changed resource requirements of most recipes. - Changed limit of some jobs.

New Cards:

- Weaver's Shop: Uses Flax to produce Cloth - Cloth: Has no use except it's value yet - Flax: Can be farmed in Farmlands, similar to Wheat - Tannery: Uses Rawhide to produce Leather - Rawhide: Obtained by butchering Cows - Inn: Uses 1xWheat and 1xMeat to produce 3xMeal (subject to change), can be automated - Toolbox: Stores Tools - Stable: Grows Horses with Farmer, similar to Pasture - Horse: Has no use except it's value yet - Masonry: Uses Rocks to produce Bricks - Brick: Can be used to build various recipes

Settings Changes:

- Added new setting "Play Monthly Sound Effects", which toggles the settler fed, settler hungry etc. sound effects. - Added new setting "Card Collisions", which toggles the card collisions :D - Added new setting "Always Show Card Texts", which toggles the card infobar's opacity changes by camera zoom level. - Added controls to the Settings Menu, these are not changeable as of right now.

Various changes:

- Notifications now fade away after 30 seconds. - Notifications only show one of each type of notification per tick now. - Increased opacity for old notifications for visual clarity. - Tips menu auto-disables if there are no tips now. - Manager automation process now looks visually more appealing. - Changed background grid sizes, they are now 2x their previous size.

Technical changes:

- Settings file is now stored as a JSON, this will cause your audio levels to reset just this once. - Changed the renderer to Forward+, this provides a performance boost but older PCs might have a problem running the game.

Bug Fixes:

- Fixed settlement progress percentage showing too many decimals. - Fixed settlement progress percentage going over 100% with multiple cards. - Fixed a bug where "No recipes unlocked yet" text would still show even though there are unlocked recipes. - Fixed card infobar showing under other elements in some cases. - Fixed hover menu getting stuck under some rare cases. - Fixed hover menu not triggering if you hover over a card with camera movement instead of moving the mouse. - Fixed card infobar size not adjusting correctly in some cases. - Fixed fill requirements using Shift+Right Click on Recipe cards causing a hover menu bug. - Fixed Manager getting extra cards if the half of the requirements are already met. - Fixed cards failing to auto-assign jobs if they get downgraded while attached to a card. (If you unassign Woodsman while attached to a Forest, it will now start working on getting sticks) - Fixed game speed changes not taking effect instantly on lower end PCs. We are also delaying the release date to 20th of September, I know it's a big delay but I just want to make sure the game is in a good condition and everyone gets their money's worth.

Card: - Obscured cards now display their amount next to their names. - Card amount is also added to the card description. - Card descriptions now show job limits.
