Hello Kontras! We can't believe it's been a month already!
Thank you so much for all of the support! We've seen over 20,000 players and more than 175,000 hours of Noble Fates played! Not bad for our scrappy little Kingdom Management Sim that no one knew about just 6 short weeks ago!
Today we released our 38th patch! Each of them has included hotfixes that have addressed Crashes, Performance Issues, and Balance as well as a bevy of QOL improvements. This patch also includes our 4th Content Update - adding the ability to place Wooden or Stone Columns to the previously released Wooden Hammer, Bronze Hammer, and Holiday Content updates.

We appreciate all of the feedback we've received along the way, and we think it's worth underscoring that we're listening. We've already improved the Intro, rebalanced Needs, improved Belonging distribution, balanced Resources, addressed Combat difficulty, and fixed Leveling progression based on your feedback! We'll continue to refine the game as we dig deeper into the next batch of improvements which include Key Rebinding, additional Difficulty Options, and the start of Customization.
In addition, the modding community has embraced the ease with which our game can be modded - there are a number of QOL Mods available on our Discord and the first Content Mods are starting to come online now.
This is only the beginning for Noble Fates. As discussed when we launched the Roadmap, we have strong plans for the future and are happy to announce that we are well underway on the first Feature Update. You can expect to hear more about that update very soon alongside the ability to try it out early in an Experimental Branch.
Thanks again for all of your support! Here's to a bright and prosperous future together!
Cheers!
The Noble Fates Team
