Next Reign: Kingdom · published
Greetings fellow rulers,
we are here with another update focused on YOUR feedback. We hear you, looked through the feedback and already added a few points based on prioritization. There are already a few things that repeatedly came up, so we made sure to take care of those first.
A few highlights:
The beginning was perceived rather slow. There is a feature we missed to mention in the first tutorial, but you can collect a few resources yourself which is especially useful in the beginning of the game. Just hover over the wheat field or forest and when you see the related resource icon appear, hold the left mouse button. Watching the first videos of content creators (thanks a lot for the coverage so far!) and based on the feedback, we realized that this mechanic was not picked up. Therefore we explicitly mentioned it in the first tutorial.
In addition, manual gathering speed by players will be increased once the initial upgrades regarding wheat, wood and stone collection are fully upgraded. This way the mechanic is mentioned there again and also sped up so that the beginning ramps up quicker if it is used.
And lastly - due to popular demand - clicking on a building related to crafting will open up the crafting menu! 🎉
Here's the full changelog:
## [0.1.3] - 2026-04-22
### Added
- When fully upgrading the initial upgrades for wheat, wood and stone collection, it also increases the manually collected amount of the respective resource by +1
- Clicking a building related to crafting will open up the crafting menu
- Regular pixel font has been expanded with more glyphs. Therefore, more languages use the regular pixel font now instead of the engine's fallback font
### Fixed
- When shaking trees, trees in the background always got priority. Now, trees in the front have priority as it would be expected
- Tutorial title is no longer using medieval pixel font when the language is not supported for it
### Changed
- Beginning tutorial of the demo was adjusted to explicitly mention manual resources collection through the player
- When unlocking a new subject, building or similar, the first purchase is done automatically to avoid confusion like "I unlocked it - where is it?"
Thanks again for all the valuable feedback! We are not done yet and will keep improving the game all the way up until release and beyond to give you the best experience that we can provide.
That being said - don't hesitate reaching out to us if you have any feedback! It means a lot to us and therefore we will take all feedback we get into consideration and see how we can make it fit the game in the best way.
See your in your Next Reign!
- Matt from TinyTulipGames
