• Fixing saves in KOTC v1.3.2 "ShinyQuarks" - 4 October 2025

  Hello again Nobles! Nice to see you again.We're pleased to announce King of the Castle 1.3.2 "ShinyQuarks"! What's inside?Fixing Save FilesOur last update, 1.3 "Morgrim", sadly introduced a bug to some player's save files. We had to change serialization to get Twitch Mode re-working and this caused issues with continuing and importing game saves. If you had this issue, you'd have seen a map had no events or a mid-turn screen (i.e. Taxes) that was blank.Rather annoyingly, this was also not easily reproducible as only a small number of players had this issue.We've now narrowed down the bugs causing this and this update means:If you have a broken save you will now be able to open that game and find it magically fixed!Creating and playing with existing saves are both working as normalExporting and Importing saves are also both working as normalAnd finally, we've made sure this works with ex…

• The future of King of the Castle - 10 January 2024

  Since we unleashed King of the Castle on an unsuspecting public back in March, we’ve been overwhelmed and humbled by the response. The streams, the massive public games, the enthusiasm from our Discord, the friendships made along the way (and in some cases, broken due to squabbling over a certain bear)… It’s been an extraordinary journey. So first of all, a heartfelt thanks to all of you who have played. I can’t express how much everyone here at Tributary appreciates you - and we hope you had as good a time as we did! But all journeys have to come to an end. Or, at least, to a point where you put up your feet and rest a while. Although we’re happy with King of the Castle as it stands, we’d love to keep expanding it forever. But for various reasons, this simply isn’t feasible, so there won’t be any more major updates. That being said, there will be occasional small updates in the future……
