Hello folks!
I have been a bit silent these days but believe me it is for the best!
After 5 years of hard work on Deisim I'm glad to announce that the game is closer than ever to an official release and the next update will be a big step in that direction.
Let me introduce you the Kingdom Update :
In the Kingdom update you will be able to create Kingdoms by using a special miracle to any city in the game. A leader will be chosen automatically and the faith of the kingdom will be tied to the faith of this leader.
The Kings and Queens for each cultures
The kingdom will do it's best to expand it's territory and become bigger and bigger over time. But there is a catch : every new child in the capital have a chance of being an heir of the throne and like all heirs they all want to be king so when the king die the realm is split amongst the heirs of the kingdom.
Let the kingdoms rise and fall like a peaceful God or provoke their faith by throwing Kings and Heirs in the void of space.
The Prince and Princesses for each cultures
Kingdoms will also have relations between each other. If they have a good relationship they will sign trade agreements and exchange resources to progress together but if their relation is bad they will fight each other and try to conquer all the cities of their enemies.
Will the update introduce new miracles?
The more content I add to the game the more I see the same remarks again and again : "The game is so cool but we need more miracles!"
Good news! We got you covered. This update will introduce a brand new miracle menu.
The old miracle menu was very cluttered and it was complicated to add more miracles on it so we decided to remake it from scratch with scalability in mind. This new menu will also better split miracles in different categories (Terrains, Creatures, Miracles, …) and it will come with a bunch of new miracles to experiment with. It should allow us to add a lot of miracles in the coming months to finally make the arsenal a true God deserve!
But wait there is more :
The kingdom update also introduce a new ambience system that will immerse you in your world like never before. Relax in the woods listening birds around you or experience the energy of a modern city that never sleep. Each biome have it's own mood and you can mix and match them when you create your world. We also added footsteps and improved a lot of things regarding audio and music.
The price of the game will change with the kingdom update :
The game is in early access since December 2016 and despite the fact that I was planning to increase the price over time I never did it because I wanted to reward all the people that wanted to support me during the development of Deisim. This price increase will finally happen with the release of the Kingdom update so if you are on the fence and want to still benefit to the discounted price be sure to purchase the game before the kingdom update release.
The new price will be around 15$
What will happen after the kingdom update release?
After the kingdom update release we will start to work on the end of the game, fixes the last bugs and add a bunch of miracles so the game is ready for a 1.0 release in 2022.
Don't worry this 1.0 release is not the end of the journey and we still plan to add a lot of stuff in the game and release regular free content updates in the coming years. The best is yet to come.
I hope this news is exiting you as much as I am about the kingdom update and that a lot of you will be there to experience it when it is released this December!
Thanks you all for your support
