Hey Everyone,
We have a major milestone to celebrate today as Kingdom Wars: Plague finally enters Alpha milestone with today`s major update.
Thanks to everyone who joined us during the very early days of Early Access. I know the game had multiple issues and it wasn`t easy to play. I`m glad to say that with today`s milestone we finally have a very playable build with majority of features in, most critical bugs fixed, and various performance improvements bringing it to enjoyable level.
Please keep in mind - that we also synced update number with the game version - to make it easier to track, so it`s the same in this news story and inside the game. Current version being 0.29
Moving forward we have two more updates to wrap up last of the polish and features - that we expect complete later this month. With that done - we have good news for everyone awaiting Dead Rising DLC and Tutorial - as beginning later this month, we are switching all resources to completing these two projects with May release for both Undead Rising DLC and the Tutorial Campaign.
Thanks again for the continuous support, and please let us know how you like the new update!
