Version 0.17 Development

0.17 is undergoing internal testing and is showing great promise with some new exciting features being implemented such as first pass multiplayer, the new save and load system and various bug fixes.

First Pass Multiplayer

As our priority poll showed; we had a large amount of the community wanting to play Realm of Rulers with others.

As multiplayer is a very hard task to pull off with such a small team, we are working on multiplayer in stages. This first pass includes the basic gameplay loops and in game chat.

In this state the game is playable online with others but we are not 100% complete with this implementation and we would like to improve this further over time. Over the next few updates we will be adding more and more functionality to the multiplayer.

Some of the features we have planned are player vs player combat, server administration (kicking and banning players) and the server browser.

We hope that multiplayer in this current state will excite you for more features to come!

If you have any suggestions for multiplayer features let us know on our forums!

Save and Load system Overhaul

As the current system for loading and saving was needed due to the game only giving you one save, we didn’t realise how many different realms the players would want to make!

In 0.17 we have revamped this system with a scrolling menu containing all of your save files with brief information about your realm such as realm name, citizen count and the last time you loaded the save.

Patreon and Twitter sneak peeks

We have adjusted the patreon reward tier required for the development sneak peeks!

Now these sneak peeks arrive first on our patreon page for patrons that pledge only $1 or more per month. Later we release screenshots and information on our twitter page to the whole community.

Our social media links are below.
