Our launch is really just the beginning for Kingdoms and Castles, we’ve got a lot planned for the game coming up! Stay up to date on progress on twitter, facebook, or discord.

We'll be working toward big updates, but will also do smaller patch releases more frequently.

If you want to try the very latest version before it’s released, check out the steam branch called next-version-preview. Nothing is in there now, but we’ll post an announcement when a new build is ready. Keep in mind that the build in this branch is for testing and will likely have some issues and bugs.

Planned Updates

• [In Development Now] - Merchants and Ports - build a port and merchant ships will dock to allow buying and selling goods. Sometimes they’ll even offer special upgrades for your town and castle.
  
  
• [In Development Now] - Twitch Integration - Optional feature to let viewers interact with your game as you play. Viewers will get to vote on special events each year that can befall your kingdom. Perhaps they’ll help by voting for a windfall harvest, or they can make things more exciting by voting for things like fires, invasions, and plagues.
  
  
• Hero System - A special hero unit you have direct control over. Depending on hero type they can help fight vikings or help your town run more smoothly.
  
  
• Map Special Features - Maps have a chance to reveal a secret feature for your kingdom to contend with or take advantage of, things like bandit camps, ancient ruins.
  
  
• VR Support - Play the game in VR! We’re investigating the VIVE right now.
  
  
• And more - We’ve got a huge list of other stuff we’ll be organizing and updating the roadmap with as they’re ready. If you’ve got ideas or things you’d like to see in the game, come chat with us on discord and head over to the #ideas channel!
