On September 27, the 3rd Act of your reign will be released. Based on the experience of launching the previous act, I’d like to highlight a few points and make some announcements:
Bug fixes. During the first ten days after release, I will be actively fixing issues based on your feedback. Act III has a huge amount of branching, and some event chains may not work as intended. I tested everything thoroughly, but in Act II I was still receiving critical reports from you for almost a month. So, if you don’t want to take part in “forced beta-testing,” you may want to wait about 10 more days before playing.
Voice-over. The game now features two versions of voice-over in both Russian and English: narrated and machine. However, the narrated English version will not yet be available for Act III and will be added a bit later.
Optimization. The game has already grown quite large — partly due to the voice-overs and also more than a thousand images. After releasing Act III and fixing the most important issues, I will focus on internal optimization. You won’t notice visual changes, but without this step it will be difficult to release Act IV: sound conflicts are already appearing due to the project’s earlier architecture.
Visual effects. As usual, visual effects will be added to Act III gradually.
New buildings. Three new buildings have been added to the game. They will come with their own quests and events, but these will be released later as a separate update.
Reminder. The game is still in Early Access. I’ll be very grateful for any errors you find — including grammar mistakes. Your feedback and comments are truly inspiring, and when my kids read them — that’s a special joy for me.
⚠️ Important note.
I can’t give you an exact release time for Act III, since Steam performs periodic checks on large updates, and this can cause delays.
