Preface
The FAQ will be at the end, but first let's talk about the current situation.
The entire game will be completely reset, including functional mechanisms, UI layout, and some additional features.
After years of code accumulation, the framework that started in 2019 is no longer able to meet my current functional requirements. As a programmer, whether it's refactoring or redoing, it feels like almost the same amount of work for me. So I decided to use my years of experience working outside and slowly expanding my framework to start over again.
Up until today's announcement, three years have passed since the last update. During this time, my updates have been on Bilibili due to some inexplicable account issues preventing me from posting announcements as well as Steam's financial verification process. After a long period of feedback and appeals, I finally managed to regain access to the developer account. Since there hasn't been any new content for a while now, I haven't paid much attention to this aspect and I apologize for any misunderstanding that may have led players and lords to think that I had disappeared.
Next are some images and then FAQs with specific details about new features being released later!
The final unfinished concept image
Specific detailed feature logs will be released one by one later on so let me release them one by one which should also help generate more traffic.
FAQ
Below are the FAQs
Q: Will there be an English version?
A: There must be; currently when developing every Chinese phrase input is automatically translated into English using Google Sync.
Q: No updates in 3 years - did you disappear? Where did you go?
A: First off - surviving during a pandemic is important; then maintaining life - going to work - earning money - raising children; currently still working full-time with development after work every night.
Q: When will the remastered version be released?
A: Testing before Spring Festival 2025 with internal testing for a month mainly focused on bug fixes and adding maps.
Q: What are the differences between the new version and old version?
A: There should be significant differences in functionality compared to before. To highlight two key points – vassals can now play; territory has increased by at least ten times compared to original game. Currently only Britain, France, Northern Europe & Holy Roman Empire regions have territorial data totaling approximately 1425 territories temporarily out of around 300 territories in total from original game; other functions will be discussed in detail in future logs.
Q: Will there be another charge for the new version?
A: No – given that promises made regarding updates from original game were not fulfilled we won’t make everyone pay again.
Q: Will you continue keeping your promise of no DLCs?
A Yes – still no DLCs but we'll release some free DLCs for added traffic generation purposes.
Q：Will there be new artistic UI designs because previous ones were too unattractive？
A：I'm sorry but there won't be any new artistic resources available however AI might draw some illustrations later on；as for other artistic resources they'll continue being used as they are now。
Q：What about frequency of future updates？
A：There will definitelybe update logs weekly or monthly depending on development progress；if there isn’t an update log within a month feel free bombard us with negative reviews！
