Dear Players,
It`s great to see that so many of you are enjoying this early alpha version of the game. Same time it`s awesome to see stable player numbers and that MKW is not falling through the charts. To be honest - we were worried that things might go badly, considering the Mixed reviews. So - Big Thank You, for the warm reception - this gives us good hope for the future!
Also if you`r enjoying the game, or have some suggestions, please take a moment to drop by our Steam forums, or consider reviewing the game at whatever portal you purchased MKW.
We try to consider all of Your suggestions and reply to every post. And we always appreciate more reviews as well - to show the new players what the game is like.
Now lets look onto the plans for July...
July Development Roadmap
During July we hope to add last of the core features into the game, these will include:
World Map Building Management - also big part of the core campaign - instead of going into View Town Mode all the time, you will be able to construct buildings, right on the world map (for now using Silver, until we add world map town economy).
Naval Combat - the boarding actions, battles will start with a dozen of ships already in boarding position, and a quick fixed force battle taking place. The whole thing is simplified compared to games like Total War, and works more like naval battles in some of the Mount and Blade mods, but we are taking our time to make it very atmospheric, and dramatic. Besides - who has the time to chase ships over the water map for an hour?:)
New Town Levels - we are adding a number of new town levels, this will help with variety quite a big. Also each starting town (for HRE, Castile e.t.c) will be unique now.
New Hamlets level - same time we are working on more hamlets designs - including fishing villages, small harbors e.t.c
Bug Fixes and Improvements - there are over 50 other smaller bug fixes and improvements planned - too many to get into, but yeah - something like 36 of these are Your suggestions and bug reports, so once again - Thank You!
