We would like to give a special thanks to NeoX, Tobsga, Wormic, Kate'sJoy, Ishtano, Neopolis and Kruemel for helping us test the network bug fixes for this patch! Your saved games with the versions 1.0.1 to 1.0.4 are still working! Build number: 681635 - we fix…
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 unforese…
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…
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 t…
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 witho…
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…
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 po…
Hello everyone! This hotfix patch takes care of the issue with the no more moving shadows from round 2 on. Nothing else has been changed. Please note: saved games from version 1.0.1 will work with this hotfix patch. (build number: 656917)
Hello everyone! First of all, why version 1.0.1 and not 1.0 you may ask. The answer is easy: We prepared a preview version for the press with all features in it, but still did some polishing which came afterwards. Version 1.0.1 has that included, of course! With The Guild 3 leaving Early Access, we will from now on concentrate on fixing bugs and - where needed - balancing. Many of you are askin…

Dear Guildians, As you may imagine we are all very busy these days working on version 1.0 . As I am writing these lines, all features are already in the build, the texts are out for translation and we are in bug fixing and balancing mode. This time, we - the team - want to tell a little story from the perspective of you while you step into the city hall for the first time. We hope you don't min…
Hey folks, With Patch EA 0.9.18.5 you finally have the opportunity to play on the Hansa map - in the menu it is called "Hamburg, Lübeck & Kiel". This map is by far the largest map of all guild games, with three cities and six villages and a whopping up to 18 opposing dynasties! But let's be clear: If you have a rather weak computer, then it's better to play with lower graphics settings! In addi…
Dear adventurers, The most important addition to the game in Patch EA 0.9.18 is undoubtedly the interactive interior of the arsenal and the guild events with some cool buffs and loot items as rewards. And when you've finally become Sovereign, your banner will be hoisted all over on the map! You can find out what else Patch EA 0.9.18 has in store in the following lines... Please note: The game d…
Hello everyone, It's been a long way, but now we're finally turning onto the home straight: This summer, The Guild 3 will leave Early Access with version number 1.0! Until then, we will of course not remain idle: In April - shortly after this DevDiary - Patch EA 0.9.18 will be released with new features such as guild events, the interior of the arsenal and many other improvements and bug fixes.…
Hear ye! Hear ye! The honorable city council has something to announce: The city's arsenal is now open to all citizens! You read that right: The arsenal will finally get an interior with the upcoming patch EA 0.9.18, including the honorable Master of the Arsenal and prison cells for the city's convicted criminals in the basement of the building. But the arsenal contains even more. Let's start w…
Dear future wives and husbands, The time has finally come: You can celebrate your wedding in a church in the world! Not only that, the churches in the game have interiors with interactive objects and an NPC priest that you can talk to directly. What else Patch EA 0.9.17 contains can be found summarized under Highlights & Overview and is detailed in the second section of these patch notes. Pleas…
Hello everyone, We sadly have to shift the launch of patch EA 0.9.17 to early next week. Organizing marriages is not as easy as it seems and due to the fact that our QA likes the topic very much, they are in particular picky this time. Everyone who has planned a wedding once before knows that there is no end to the preparations - and sometimes the groom does not show up because... well... he is…
Oachkatzlschwoaf? Yep, Oachkatzlschwoaf! You might ask yourself: What’s an Oachkatzlschowaf? For those of you who aren't familiar with German - there is a huge difference in the accent and dialects across Germany and Austria. I'm from northern Germany, but most of our dev team is from Austria - so it even took me a while to understand the word. If you speak German, a good trick is to try pronou…
Dear fellow believers, dear sinners, the churches are not yet accessible in The Guild 3 - at least not with your camera. But we are working to change that :-) As you could read in DevDiary #25 just before Christmas, all churches in the game will get a fully interactive interior. We distinguish between the small village churches and the churches within the city walls, which also include the cath…
