Welcome, lords and ladies of KINGDOMS!
Now, when we can finally add new items to the updates (more about it can be found here) I decided to make a little more preparations before marriage proposals, plus I wanted to make some stuff from the game world interactable for soooo long time already, so I just couldn't resist:) From now on player (and AI characters as well) can gather crystals from the caves and use then in jewelry. Yes, right, in jewelry - I've added 4 new crafting recipes for rings - they'll be used very-very soon. AI can use all new stuff already - mine crystals, sell it, blacksmiths can craft rings and sell it as well.
Also, few most reported bugs were fixed. Most annoying one - animals clipping through ground when killed. Second to mention - flying settlers, when player was more than 50m away, so no more flights to stratosphere. The rest of the fixes follows.
In the next update I want to make some cosmetic, but very important change - rework most of settlers animations, used both in exterior and in interior. I've prepared all needed stuff for that, so everything should go smoothly. Downside - marriage proposals are moving to next week, but I'm sure that new animations are 100% worth it - game really needs it:)
So, that's it, see you this Wednesday already!

FIXES

• Fixed issue when settler could sing into the ground sometimes;
• Fixed issue when animal could clip under the ground after death. not it will count parallel position;

• Fixed issue when player had to finish each "talk to leader" quest individually, which led to various quest errors, i.e. taking quest to destroy bandits lair, when it was already destroyed etc.
• Now player can't exit dialog with ESC button in the middle of quest dialog - exiting with esc caused various quests bugs;
• Fixed issue when level of friendship didn't change when finishing "talk to leader" quests;

IMPORTANT
1) Please, feel free to use built-in bug reporter (F11) - it will help development a lot.
2) If something is broken make sure you have verified game files and started new world, remember -KINGDOMS is still EA, I try to make saves compatibility for every new version of the game, but can't guarantee it all the time.
3) The game is still in development, it's NOT finished product, updates are coming 3-4 times a week and that will inevitably cause various issues. Updates for game in development and for finished game - are two absolutely different things, remember that. Game mechanics come and gone, bugs are being fixed and new ones appear all the time. Its a normal thing for development process. If you want to experience KINGDOMS as it was initially designed - smooth, without bugs and full of working mechanics - please, wait till final version will be out.
4) You can support development of KINGDOMS on my official Patreon page.
Thanks for your support, see you very soon!
