- Dungeons and Kingdoms is an upcoming game that's about exactly what it sounds like: dungeon crawling and kingdom management - 24 July 2024
The upcoming Dungeons and Kingdoms—which releases in early access on Steam soon—falls into the genre mashup category for me. Like Mount and Blade and Crypt of the Necrodancer, it takes two great tastes and sees if they taste great together. This time around we've got a medieval kingdom sim mashed up with soulslike dungeon delving, and it looks promising... Read more.
- DUNGEONS AND KINGDOMS IS MOVING TO A NEW STEAM PAGE! - 17 July 2024
KINFOLK, As you know, we've built up this kingdom for what seems like ages. You've been with us every step of the way, and for your loyalty we are eternally grateful. We come to you to ask for your loyalty once more. We ask that you follow us to our new kingdom -- our NEW Dungeons and Kingdoms Steam page -- so that we may flourish and prosper on new lands together. This page won't phase away into the ether, though! Instead, we will be working on a small prologue - a morsel of what Dungeons & Kingdoms has to offer for you to try. If you want to keep an eye on the prologue, this is still the place for you. Alternatively, all information for the full game will be available on the new Steam page! For the Kingdom! If you'd like to see the official royal decree, please follow our new Steam page for more information. For the Kingdom!

- Dev Update - build 0.279 Organized Inventory and Storage - 8 February 2024
NEW FEATURES New bundled/stacks and organized storage - Bundles for branches and reeds. These can be placed anywhere and can also be carried. - Stacks for logs New left arm carry bundle - this allows villagers to carry multiple loose items under their left arm on the side (eg. tools, branches), or against their stomach (eg. pile of stones, mushrooms) increasing their default carry capacity Containers now utilize item size and volume - all items have a defined size and volume, all containers have restrictions on what size/volume items they can accept. This reduces as items are added to the container. There is no restriction on the number of items, only by size/volume. For example, you cannot put a log from a tree in your backpack, but you might have 100 chisels. Inventory UI is working (press I to toggle) - drag/drop to move or equip items between containers and item slots New action sta…

- Story Intro, Rowboats, Merchant Trade and Immigration started - 18 November 2023
Several new systems at least partially introduced and used to make up a short story introduction when new games start. Merchant Trade - One of your main ways to trade is with the merchant ship captain. They arrive periodically bringing goods to your kingdom. Once you build the appropriate docks they will be able to dock their ship instead of just rowing a small boat to shore, allowing you to trade for farm animals, horses, and large shipments of goods. Rowboats - These are used by the merchant ship captain to deliver small goods, visitors, and new immigrants, as well as for the fishing industry where you can row out on the ocean, lakes, and rivers to fish... or just relax. Immigration - New villagers are brought to your kingdom by the merchant boat captain. Rowing them to shore is one way to get them to land. Dynamic Story - The characters and story text are dynamic based on your new ga…
- Survival Mechanics Dev Testing - 24 September 2023
Quick update now that the survival mechanics are working again and going through dev testing before they hit beta. Eating is fairly straight forward. If a villager is hungry and they are on free time, they go find something to eat. Sleeping is more complex. If they don't have a place to sleep like a bed, they will try to find somewhere comfortable like beside a fire or under shelter, and if all else fails they will just lay down in the wilderness.
