• Hot summer update – v1.906.0 - 23 July 2024

  Hello Patrons, This long summer is relentless (at least where we are), but here is something to make your gaming days a bit more interesting! In this summer update for Patron, we've finally „broke the code“ and introduced research stacking, a feature frequently requested by you. For some reason, it kept giving us troubles but it's sorted now and you can finally set multiple reseraches to be researched in given order. If you already know the technology path you wish to take, this should make your life easier. Another frequently asked detail is addition of open mini map right at the start of the game when you're selecting a spot for your Town center. Now you can have a neat overview of surrounding area to choose from where you want to start building your city, relative to resources, shores and any other geographical feature you deem important. Content wise, there is an expansion of variou…

• Try out free demo of Kaiserpunk during Next Fest - 10 June 2024

  Greetings Patrons! As we're preparing next Patron update, we'd like to invite you to check out our next endeavour. Kaiserpunk has been in the works for a while now, and during this June's Next Fest, you can try it out in the form of a free demo. It is a bit different game to Patron, but large portion of it still falls under city building genre, so should be familiar to majority of you. Main difference is that general setting revolves around alternative history of first half of 20th century, and gameplay wise it includes an entire grand strategy layer. Once you build, organize and set up your city, you can also use that wealth and logistics to set ip armies and start "spreading" your success on the worldwide map. Global logistics, conquest/defense and resource management on the world stage coupled with city builder management of your home region/city should wake up and challenge your gov…

• Pre-summer upgrade – update 1.904.0 - 26 April 2024

  Greetings Patrons! In line with announcement from a few days ago, we're releasing next Patron update today! Work was done in several areas from continuous optimizations, bugfixes and additions of a few quality of life and useability perspectives. To dive deeper and find more room for performance gains, we've performed a very lenghty testing sessions to monitor the hardware stress and deduce when and why stress is increased. In this instance, particular emphasis was put to find a way to bring optimizations that could impact lower-end GPU's. Acording to results we've been getting, performance (especially in lower end hardware) should be more consistent now, shouldn't have significant drops with hundreds of citizens and hundreds of buildings, and occassional issue where frame dropped during ingame winter time should be resolved now. At the same time, while diving deep, we've also identifie…

• Next update coming by the end of the week - 22 April 2024

  Hello Patrons! It's been a while since last update to Patron, but we've started proper testing on next round of improvements. If all goes well, update should be live by the end of this week. We did get a chance to gather a lot of feedback since last update and information from save files many of you provided. Btw – thank you for that! Bulk of the work will focus on next optimization package. Many players now reached much farther into the game, and with thousands of citizens and hundreds of buildings, every additional frame counts. Next, we'll introduce a balancing pass on the campaign portion of game. There is room for improvement here and numbers we got from your save files will be the guideline for these changes. Also, several items from „quality of life“ list will enter this update as well, mostly suggested by players as well, but perhaps some surprises too… Looking at a calendar, it…

• Getting both the lack and excess of population under control – Update 1.902.0 - 31 January 2024

  Greetings Patrons! According to numerous reactions from many of you, and what troubles can arise in longer gameplay sessions, we’ve decided to pack together numerous modifications to game features impacting two of the most prominent problems some players are encountering – the lack or slow growth of the population, or the opposite situation with these numbers snowballing after a while. General idea was to boost the possible population growth in earlier stages of the game, and slow it down after certain number of ingame years. At the same time, tweaks have been also made to system managing the speed with which resources are distributed around your city. Changing any of these numbers in a full game featuring so many interlinked numbers and calculations was rather tricky, but from all the testing we've done, it should work properly and as intended. If you notice any weird consequences, ple…

• Story questline addition + another targeted optimization pack - 16 October 2023

  Hello Patrons! Fall is fast approaching, and to alleviate the boredom of long rainy days, we've been preparing to add another update to Patron. This time it's mainly focused on new content elements. Let's get straight into the details of it: First of all, biggest addition in this update is opening up a long questline that will start relatively early in the game and ask players to fulfill tasks asked by the King. Basically, the mainland Kingdom gets involved in a costly and long war alongside its borders. To successfully turn the tide of the conflict, they will need all the help they can get, and your thriving colony will get a chance to step up and offer assistance, in terms of steady stream of supplies or trained troops. Everything you've been building in your colony in the new land will now get a chance to become an important asset in helping your mainland bretheren fending off the ho…

• Next big update and Story questline is coming soon! - 28 August 2023

  Hello Patrons! In much of the world time of vacations and time off is slowly coming to a close, se we wanted to reach out and announce that work on Patron hasn't stopped during this time. We've been working on some more extensive additions so it is taking a bit more time, but next major update should be ready within next month! Besides additional bux fixes, more optimization interventions and feature tweaks, another aspect of the game that we've been working to expand is the story and quest dimension. So, with next update you can also expect the introduction of longer questline with broader map where events take place, some additional background linking your colony to original homeland and your King etc... Majority of game elements from this upcoming update are already undergoing internal testing, so if all goes well, in a month or so this update will land on Steam. Meanwhile, enjoy the…
