Dear Friends of The Guild,We are excited to announce that The Guild 1 Remake: Europa 1410 will launch into Early Access in exactly four weeks, on the 17th of September. We will also update the demo on the same day, so its content is on par with the Early Access version of the main game. This is a huge milestone for us, and we cannot wait to see the game in your hands.But wait, what's that about the name? Wasn't the game just called The Guild - Europa 1410? Yes, that's right: The Guild - Europa 1410 is being renamed to The Guild 1 Remake: Europa 1410.With this name change, we hope to clearly communicate that our game is inspired by the first Guild game, namely Europa 1400: The Guild. Though the later Guild games have their own identities and atmospheres, and many in the community have grown to love The Guild 2 and The Guild 3, the later Guild games and their life sim elements are not the…
- Economy and Events in The Guild - Europa 1410 - 31 July 2026
Greetings, aspiring business owners!Welcome to our 7th dev diary! Last time we talked about goods and items; now we want to expand on this and focus on in-game economy and the effects of global events on your playthrough. These are two of the most discussed topics since the release of our demo of The Guild - Europa 1410. Before we get into the thick of it, a small disclaimer: The Guild - Europa 1410 is in active development, and economy as well as events are still in an early stage. What you can currently see in our demo does not yet properly reflect our vision for this portion of the game - improving and expanding economy gameplay will remain an ongoing task throughout the Early Access period.Now, with that out of the way, let's dive into it!EconomyEconomy, or "when to buy, when to sell", was always an important part of every The Guild game. While this mostly refers to the game's marke…

Greetings, judges and executioners!We’re back with another dev diary for The Guild - Europa 1410!

- DevDiary #33 “Patch in December” - December 2022 - 2 December 2022
Hello everyone, In the last few weeks we have been working on issues in multiplayer and in the scripts, among other things. We also improved the graphics in the game. For example, in the upcoming patch you will find some new ground textures, including water puddles :-) We are currently in the final preparations for Patch 1.0.5, which we aim to release before Christmas, barring anything unforeseen. We're planning the next patch to be released in Q1 2023. This patch will then also contain the editor! Among other things, we will fix a few bugs in the editor and improve the usability of the tool for you. Thank you for your patience Your The Guild 3-Team
- Patch notes for version 1.0.4 “Ninety Two” - August 30th, 2022 - 30 August 2022
Hello folks! Patch 1.0.4 solves a number of issues and it balances the game further. We additionally worked on a lot of bugs and features in preparation for the editor release, which we do not list below, as the editor will be released somewhen later. As mentioned in DevDiay #32 beginning of August, this is the last patch in collaboration with the Purple Lamp team. The development will continue with a small team that will work on the editor! The release date is not set so far, please be a bit patient. Regarding the ipv6 support we sadly have to say that the developer of the multiplayer library is still working on that issue. We will bring out a patch after we receive the new library and were able to test it properly. We want to point out that without the dedicated help from you, the players, some of the changes below would not have been possible - thanks a lot for your reports in our Re…
- DevDiary #32 “Creating Worlds” - August 2022 - 2 August 2022
Another short update on what we are doing at the moment. Naturally, we are still hunting for bugs and balancing issues. For example, one of the most annoying bugs you face during your play is that transporters on manually set up routes restart their tour with waypoint 1 after they have been interrupted. We were able to solve the issue with a lot of time and sweat… and not all of it was due to the heat ;-) This damn bug was buried very deep in the code and not easy to fix. We are still working on the ipv6 issue in multiplayer. We are currently reworking our Peer to Peer library to support edge cases. We hope, but unfortunately cannot guarantee, that the problem will be fixed with the upcoming patch. We are preparing patch 1.0.4 for end of August / beginning of September. It will be the last one in collaboration with the Purple Lamp team. Purple Lamp has done an amazing job of bringing th…
- Patch notes for update of patch 1.0.3 - July 15th, 2022 - 15 July 2022
Good morning everyone, We are very sorry for the inconvenience you had with multiplayer since patch 1.0.3 . While the patch has helped some with their issues in participating in a multiplayer game, unfortunately for others it has made the situation worse. Since the first reports of issues with multiplayer since the patch was released, we worked until late in the evening to find a solution without success. So we decided to revert some of our changes regarding multiplayer to the status from before - this happens with this little update (build number: 660451)! Be assured that we will keep working on the issue for the coming time. Thanks for your understanding and patience.
- Patch notes for version 1.0.3 “Bug Hunting Trophies” - July 14th, 2022 - 14 July 2022
Hello folks, Patch 1.0.3 contains a lot of bug fixes for crashes. Unfortunately, we were not yet able to solve all server-issues for multiplayer but we did not want to keep the patch longer from you. Still, we also managed to get some connection improvements. We ask you to be a bit more patient and thank you for your understanding. Beside the changes for this patch, the team is working on other things in the background. We will give you more information about that at a later date - we’d like to keep the excitement going for a little while longer. Please note: Your saved games from the former version 1.0.2 (and version 1.0.1) will still work with this patch, but not all changes will be in effect in the older versions. The reason is that the map you are playing on stores data that is loaded and processed only when you start a fresh game in the new version. To give you a better overview we…
- DevDiary #31 “Bug Hunting” - July 2022 - 4 July 2022
Hello everyone, This is a short update on what we are working on at the moment. We received reports of players stating that the game usually immediately crashed when starting (some could play for a short amount of time) and we on our side were never able to reproduce this. Thanks to your reports and support we were able to find out that it concerned players who had G Data installed - at this point our special thanks goes to the guys from G Data for the very good cooperation - the problem should already be solved. Our solutions for some other issues in multiplayer (tag: IPV6) are still underway. We should have them ready for the coming patch. And of course, we are closely looking into other reported crashes as well. In the next patch also the nasty notification spam bug will be fixed. It happens currently when the player sends a family member to the monastery or one of the family members…
