Hey everyone,
I'm Undergrad Steve, creator of the game.
I live and breathe College Kings and seeing CK2 get mixed reviews is devastating to both me and the team. The reviews are full of valid criticism, you guys are right, we messed up.
The biggest criticism is the lack of save transfers. This is a feature that we know is possible, but it's quite difficult to achieve and we didn't anticipate it being so highly requested, big misjudgment on my part.
We are prioritizing getting save transfers to work and will patch it as soon as possible, however it may take a few weeks.
Besides that there are bugs in the game and the feeling that some paths where more set in stone. This may have been caused by the pathbuilder start or some weird interactions with reputation, that were unintended. I believe CK2 actually has much more complex relationships, but we do not display those properly so it may feel a lot more simplistic, which is again, a mistake on our end.
I also understand that some players are upset about CK1 being made free completely, even though they paid for it. We had hoped that this would allow easier access to CK2 and give the franchise longevity, it may have done the opposite.
College Kings 2 was an ambitious new beginning, but we missed the mark. Mistakes were made and my own judgement lead us wrong multiple times. But whatever happens, we will fight to make the game better.
So we're sorting through all of your feedback, all the reviews and we will start improving CK2 Act I bit by bit. Enabling save transfers, fixing bugs, making the storylines more complex, closing plot holes, etc.
We may make mistakes, but please believe that there's nothing we care more about than the playerbase enjoying the game. So we will improve the game until that's the case for the vast majority of people.
For this, it'd be very beneficial if you could take 2 minutes and fill out this quick feedback form:

With your feedback and enough time, we will make this the Act that you were promised. I'm sorry I made the mistakes I made. I really wish I didn't, but we will fix each and every one of them.
- Steve
