Version 0.1.9
Hello friends!
For those of you that have chosen to "Opt In" to the Public_Beta Build of the game will now get to experience and test out some of the new features available that are being worked on for the 0.2.0 "Economy Update" coming soon. This build comes with some new features which I'd love for you to play with / feedback upon as all of your feedback so far has been wonderful and once the Economy Update is available I can't wait to show you what else is planned.
Thanks to your support from purchasing the game I've managed to fix one of the biggest issues from many players requesting support for resolutions higher than 1080p. I can confirm that 4K resolutions should now be supported with this update.
Some new features with this build include the reworked Library system which now allows players to spend gold and purchase books which they can then use to unlock new technologies such as the Production Buildings. With this technology includes the new Blacksmith building which allows players to produce and craft their own items which they can then transfer into the inventory of their Kingdom. Basic Time Controls have also been added to the game for those impatient players who just want to skip through stuff. (I'm one of those people) so you can now Pause, Play and Fast Forward the game. All of the Achievements should now be working and can be viewed in-game through the Achievements button. These are just some of the new features included in this latest build and I'm now working on improving all of these features & refining them / bug-fixing them to a better state ready for the public release in a week or so.
As previously stated the Public_Beta build doesn't go through bug-fixing/testing before release so you can expect the possibility of running into some stability issues with the gameplay, but it'll help for early feedback of these bugs and reactions to the new features. The Public_Beta is free to opt-into by right-clicking on RPG Tycoon in your Steam Library and accessing the Betas tab from the properties menu.
If you uncover any bugs, please report them and be sure to mention that you're using the Public_Beta build please! This will help iron them out for the public release at 0.2 shortly.
Also please keep in mind that these new features very well may mess up your old save files so it's recommended to start a new game with this update.
