- Kingdom Crier #49: The Road to 1.0 - 24 June 2026

- Kingdom Crier #48: Performance! - 16 April 2026
While we're hard at work on 1.0, we wanted to show the live game some love - so Kingdom Crier #48 accompanies v0.31.3 which is dedicated to improving Performance! There's more to do, but this should make a noticeable improvement. Performance Input This one was a biggie - we were reaching out to platform preferences to check for key bindings every time we consumed input - instead, we now cache these values to greatly reduce the cost. Background Simulation We tackled spreading out background Mortal updates over time and cycling through Kingdom Strength calculations - they're expensive! Characters Some of the Needs were running expensive queries to check for nearby Props, so we improved those algorithms. In addition, we were running the Command Logic more than we needed to and doing some unnecessary calculations in Character Avoidance (Collision). Pathing We cached some values in critical…
