So...we've been a featured game at Tacticon 2023.
We participated unsure of our results, but were blessed by an awesome response and left in a daze among the most popular upcoming games. We've seen huge increases in demo downloads, wishlisting, and activity on Discord. The success was so sudden we were taken a little by surprise and had to scramble to create additional test games, each bigger than the one before.
We appeared on the first page of Popular Upcoming titles since the first day of the event, thanks to the audience of the event showing great interest in us, and we were also the only Grand Strategy / 4X labeled game in the top 10 of Popular Upcomings! It was a humbling experience in the best possible ways.
But, tell me, what's happened to you recently?
We kept updating our in-development demo. You can now create multiple feudums. This simple addition to the game now changes how you play. When we were stuck with a single feudum, you had limited space and could not really create the budding realm that you wanted. Now, you can create a few more (test games capped at three for the time being) - so that you can actually create a micro economy that functions well enough to keep your serfs fat and happy. Well, satisfied anyway. The game is still set in medieval times after all.
And if you really have been out of touch, this is on top of the earlier update that added things like unit attrition while in the field, auto encampment (another tool so you don't have to micromanage), persistent settings (including volume control (yay!), smarter onboarding and the best of all - an auto trade function! No more heading to sleep to awaken to a feudum devastated by running out of some precious resource.
A final note: with the rush of new players, we also received a bunch of feedback about missing instructions and tutorials. We heard those criticisms loud and clear and are working to create something to help "on board" our new players. The last thing we want is to turn you off from the dream we're working on.
Tacticon 2023 is now in our rear-view mirror. Alongside our allies, we made an impact.
Together, we can all achieve success!
To Arms!
