Hello everyone,
We are really happy to announce that Inkulinati 1.0 is OUT NOW!
Our Early Access journey lasted just over a year, and it goes without saying that without your ongoing comments, feedback, support and love, the game would never have been what it is today. Thanks to your suggestions throughout the last year we added new content, such as new Inkulinati Masters, new Beasts, Battlefields, polished the game’s mechanics, balanced it, squashed bugs, and loads, loads more. Inkulinati is truly a game built by you all. So from the bottom of our collective heart, thank you.
With the 1.0 release, we’ve improved the game as well. First up, we have the Travelling Frog join our roster of Beasts - yeay! What started as a little social media lol during Kickstarter now ended up appearing in our game for real. We’ve added new colours for your armies. Enriched the soundscape with more medieval sounds. We also took all that feedback of yours and the 1.0 release also has a ton of improvements to the gameplay itself, with lots of balancing under the hood. We hope that you will enjoy the full version as much as we do, and that it will give you hours of brain-tingling fun.
Once again, thank you for all your comments, feedback, and support. And remember, just because the Early Access phase finished, it doesn’t mean that we don’t want your feedback. Quite the opposite! Let us know your thoughts below or leave a review. We can’t wait to hear your thoughts.
Until next time,
Your Yaza Games and Daedalic Teams.
