- Small improvements and bug fixes - 17 August 2026
The following changes were made in the latest patch:🛠️ ImprovementsThere are now two new speed levels: 0.2x and 0.5x. These only appear when reducing the game speed, not when trying to go above 5x.

- Future of Cube Kingdoms - 12 August 2026
Hello everyone,It’s been a little while since the last status update, and I’d like to give you an overview of how things will continue with Cube Kingdoms.As announced, I released the first major content update on Monday (12.08.2026). Back then, I mentioned that further updates would depend on how the game develops.Sales numbers are still small but stable – which shows me that there is interest. At the same time, the refund rate is still fairly high, which makes me believe that more content and more gameplay depth could help. For that reason, I’ve decided to create another major content update and then take another look at how things evolve.Planned content for the second updateMerchant Guild: Unlocks auto‑trading and auto‑collecting; the market can be upgraded into the guild.Adventurer Guild: Allows recruiting hero units.Bandit Camps: Spawn randomly, attack the nearest player, and must b…
- Content Update - 10 August 2026
🛠️ ImprovementsBattlesWhen losing a battle, buildings in the village are now destroyed. The more enemies survive, the more buildings get destroyed. Expensive buildings, paths, and recruitment buildings cannot be destroyed. The same applies to AI opponents.Captains now have abilities that can be used by the player during an attack. To use them, the new resource Potion is required.Rockfall: Summons rocks above the captain which he then drops. These deal heavy damage to enemy units and buildings.Invulnerability: Makes all units near the captain briefly invulnerable.Battle Cry: Increases the damage of all allied units within the radius by 50% for the rest of the battle. This buff stacks when applied multiple times.New Building: Witch CauldronThe Witch Cauldron produces potions extremely slowly and is very expensive to build. It is intended for late‑game use when you struggle to take enemy…

- Improvements and bugfixes - 16 July 2026
I want to thank you once again for all the helpful feedback I received over the past week! I’m really happy to see the game improving with every update. 🙂🛠️ ImprovementsWhen placing buildings, everything now aligns to a 0.1×0.1 grid, making it much easier to arrange your buildings neatly without snapping. Existing save files do not change the positions of their buildings.Placing units on walls has been improved.Note: All castle buildings have been made smaller to fit the new grid. This means that in existing save files, gaps between walls may appear!16:10, 21:9 and 32:9 resolutions are now supported. UI scaling issues may occur — if anyone experiences this, please report it.The resources‑per‑minute display now includes worker travel paths. (Still not 100% accurate.) Making it fully precise would require constant recalculation, which would be annoying because the value would update slo…

Changes in the latest small patch:🛠️ Improvements:It is now possible to perform many actions even while the game is paused.

Feel free to report any bugs you find. :)There is now an option in the castle view to select only units.🐞 Bugfixes:Snapping to other objects was disabled by default, but the UI incorrectly showed it as enabled.The background of messages was cut off on one side.The image in the selected‑object UI was larger than its background.Kind regards, Maikel – GamingPugsStudios

- UI Improvements and Bug Fixes - 22 June 2026
The following changes were made in the latest small patch:🛠️ Improvements:In the menus, text is now shown in red instead of icons when you don’t have enough of a resource, as this caused confusion especially with gold.The timer that determines when a mouse click counts as a click or a hold has been increased, since players had trouble selecting objects.When trying to build or upgrade a building, the message now shows in red exactly how much of each resource is missing.Skill descriptions now use words instead of icons and are highlighted in green.🐞 Bugfixes:In the Chinese and Japanese languages, large white squares sometimes appeared under text boxes.The text position of required resources in the build menu was incorrect.A crash/exception during attacks has been fixed.It seems that in some cases, after loading, an additional player somehow sneaks into the save file, making the save unp…
