Game Build: v0.6.13.0
Additions The existing dialogue system has been augmented with the Ink dialogue parser. This will ease workflow by making dialogue creation and editing easier, as well as making it easier for users to edit and mod the game. Implementing Ink has made a few QoL features possible. As an example of what is possible with the new engine, a ‘skip to next dialogue choice’ button was implemented easily. Bugs Old dialogue files were migrated to th...
No Update for October 2023
We're sorry to say that the update we hoped to push out, a dialogue system that was less buggy and more standardized by integrating Ink, has taken a bit more rejiggering than we had hopped. Ideally when this process is finished, the Ink development kit, which is a tool for creating visual novel style dialogue systems among other things, will enable us to make more complex dialogue faster than before, but it's going to take us a hot minute...
Game Build v0.6.12.2 (QoL #4 - Dialogue Systems and UI)
Latest build involves us swapping to a new dialogue parser to hopefully speed things along and allow us to add more features! We've also nailed a few bugs and are experimenting with various methods of handling issues in the siege battles going forward to hopefully smooth those systems out more!Additions Dialogue history has been added, letting you look back at a log of things said. Dialogue history should remain until quitting and reloading.C...

In the coming months we hope to refine things further and perhaps work on making a coherent starting tutorial section that will make this all flow m...

Game Build v0.6.5.0 (Empire Update #3 - Map Update!)
The steady progress continues, now with an updated UI for territories, and a new background map that is steadily being improved and interated on! We're going to continue focusing on usability, UI, and generally making the game feel good to play for the next updates, trying to focus fire on making the game FUN before we start seriously working to import old story beats, but hopefully you'll see our steady progress in this regard as we move...
Game Build v0.6.4.0 (Empire Update #2 - Territory Galore)

Public Build Repo
A place for us to store whatever the latest public build is since google drive isn't quite cutting it.
Game Build v0.6.3.0 (Empire Update #1 - Freeplay Mode)
We're making headway with deeper system additions now! The Freemode is explained below, but in short should turn on the ability to start building stuff on existing nodes on the map. We're still working on the details but soon we'll have things working properly between the two modes.Note: When you complete the demo, the game will automatically overwrite save slot 1 with an autosaveAdditions Freeplay mode has been added!

A Merry Holiday Sketch!
Sadly it's only a sketch for christmas due to computer troubles on the part of our artist Poka but we wanted to share it anyway!
Game Build v0.6.2.2 (Army Fix)
We tried to get ambitious with this build but sadly the ambitious additions, but sadly we had to ramp back on those. Hopefully we'll get them unbugged and pushed soon and the demo can be finalized! We'll be discussing exactly what we'll be tackling in the next month over the next couple of days, and announce it as soon as we have a plan!Note: There is a small bug in the post-battle dialogue at shaded coast where a dialogue option is n...
WIP: Towergirls Geography
A sample of how the finalized Geography is going to end up looking!
Game Build. Beta v0.6.2.1
This one came a little later than we wanted, the save system reworks gave us more trouble than we liked. The original plan is still going on however, and our next focus is on army interactions to start getting the world turned on and more alive before we begin expanding the story once more.The Cheatcode phrase has been updated as well, so our Silver and Golden Donators will want to check the post out for that!Fixes The save system has been fixed ...
WIP: Flat Colors Map of Corona
A mostly finished map of Corona, this is stage one of the changes we plan to make, as time goes one we'll add more customized sections and segments of the map for each kingdom.
WIP: Corona Map 4
While we're about to start coloring, this one covers, more or less, the final line art of the world map base. As time goes on, we'll be replacing individual kingdom territories on the map with far more styilized areas, but the idea was to get things on the baseline all done.
Game Build v0.6.2.0 (Bug fixes and QoL)
This month's build is mostly focused on Quality of Life changes and bug fixes, with next month going to be focus on a combination of writing improvements (as we've figured out how to get our writer directly linked into updating the unity build, meaning we don't have to divert programmer time to do so, expect a few hot fixes with basic spell checking/grammar/story pathing improvements), and improving the army systems. The primary goal ...
Game Build v0.6.1.0
Hey guys! Been a quite month and not a huge amount of changes to the build, but we've been ripping out and replacing the navigation system, which took way more time to get working than we thought it would. That said, the start of it should be in place now, and we're hoping to improve on it and world map interactions in the coming weeks.Please play through it and give us tons of feedback on this post and our discord server for any bugs you...
