Devlog #01: Barbicans, Characters, and a Progress Update

Hey everyone!

KingFish dev team here. First of all, thank you for sticking with us! We know it’s been quiet for a while. We’re a small team, and we’ve been heads-down working on the game.

We've received so many comments and applications around the playtest, and that honestly means a lot. We want your first experience with KingFish to be a great one, so we're taking more time to get the game ready for the playtest. We'll announce it here on Discord as soon as it's scheduled. Come join us if you haven't already!

Here’s a small look at some of the things we’ve been working on.

New Defence Structure

We're deepening the castle defense mechanics, giving you more ways to protect your kingdom warriors. For example, we're working on a barbican, a structure designed to provide extra protection for the fortress entrance.

Character Concepts


We’re currently working on concepts for a variety of unique villagers. In KingFish, each villager has their own preferences, strengths, and weaknesses.

For example, there’s Lancelot, the loyal royal knight. He is an unrivaled swordsman who has fought in countless battles. His unique trait is that he is much stronger than ordinary villagers in combat and can become a reliable pillar of the King’s army. However, he believes he isn’t cut out for ordinary work and quickly loses motivation when he has to do it. And yes, his favorite food is rare steak.

New House Models


We're working on new building models. We want every building in KingFish to feel handcrafted and have its own charm and identity. Here are a few fresh examples.

If you like what you see, wishlisting KingFish on Steam is a wonderful way to support our small team.
See you in the next dev diary!
