Version 0.18 Development

Realm of Rulers 0.18 update brings Player PVP Combat, character customization, aggressive animals, smaller cpu and gpu optimisations, quality of life features and a large amount of bug fixes and polish!

Character Customization

Now that multiplayer is implemented, more features are being added to enhance your experience.

0.18 introduces the first iteration of the character customization system. You can now change your shirt and hair colour with more options added in future updates as well as the option to have a female character.

Dedicated Servers

One of the key pieces of feedback that the community has given us is that finding a host for multiplayer is too infrequent.

We are having a few technical issues with the dedicated server files which means dedicated servers are being released as soon as possible.

We want the most stable experience for all through these servers which means a little more time is required.

We will post an new devlog when these servers are available!

Player Vs Player Combat

One of the main features for 0.18 is PVP. This was a widely requested feature which expands the multiplayer experience from collaborative building to potentially town combat.

This is one of many features that is being constantly iterated upon. Clans and player vs player protections such as defensive towers will be added in future updates.

Full loot drop is being implemented for 0.19 which will add more risk to multiplayer combat.

Aggressive Animals

In 0.16 we added the logic for animals and wildlife to function. With 0.18 Realm of Rulers becomes a dangerous world for many.

The lack of difficulty or danger was not interesting for the players so we have raised this up to a challenging level. Walls and defenses are now an important aspect of building your town.

0.18 brings wild wolves and bears which can attack you and other players. Equip you and your friends with swords for combat to survive these beasts.

Be careful inside of caves as there are new dangers that lurk within.
