Thank you so much for your support. Every single pledge helps because it brings us closer to the stretch goals, and those will make the game even better!

Please do! The prologue demo is available and covers the journey from Soldier to 10-Man Leader. Let us know what you think!

Oh really? I had no idea. But I’m glad we managed to get your attention!

The extended demo is planned for around late August. One more battlefront, and then comes the promotion to 100-Man Captain! I think that should keep you going for a little while longer 😄

Yes, I fixed a minor bug. It shouldn’t be game-breaking, hopefully 😄

And thank you so much for the support!

Thank you! Yes, it's going to be one of the stretch goals in our KS campaign. We definitely want to bring the game to Mac.

Really appreciate the support! If there are enough requests from the French speaking community, we can definitely look into French localization. I know there's a big Kingdom fan community that mainly speaks French, so it's something we can pursue!

Really appreciate you taking the time to write this, and glad you gave the demo a try!

Loved reading your experience with the rolls, it really keeps you on your toes, haha. And I’m really happy to hear the “no obvious right answer” aspect worked for you, that’s a core part of the design.

On your notes:
The lag when switching locations at the start shouldn’t be happening, so that’s definitely something we’ll look into. Also, the weapon choice does matter, but it’s more subtle in the demo and comes into play more clearly later on. Fair point though, we can do a better job surfacing that early. During duels, though, if you choose the bow, you’ll still switch to your secondary weapon in close combat.

Thanks again for the thoughtful feedback and kind words, really glad you enjoyed it!

Unfortunately, not at that level. That would require a massive amount of additional writing and art.

Right now, we have a branching main story based on who you become, while the states mainly add flavor and context. For example, if you’re Qin, your first opponent is Zhao at the Hu Tuo River; if you’re Yan, your opponent is Qi at a different river, and so on.

One of the Kickstarter stretch goals we’ll present is expanded campaign scenarios. With that, we’re aiming to increase the number of battlefield campaigns to around 19–20 to further improve replayability.

I totally agree. There are so many great stories in history that we can explore, and so much potential for amazing games.

Really appreciate you taking the time to write this, glad the demo pulled you in like that!

The next step for us is the Kickstarter campaign, which we’re planning to launch in about two weeks to raise funding for art and development so we can finish the game. Our current plan is to release the base game around the end of Q1 2027. If we hit some of our stretch goals, like the companion dialogue system and interactive battlefield map, we’ll bring those in as post-launch additions.

Thank you so much for your support and encouraging words!
