We have been a little quiet, but that doesn't mean progress has been slow—in fact, quite the opposite! We're excited to share that we just finished our first milestone for the new Outlaw Kingdom demo! In this news hub update, we will highlight some of the items of this first milestone and tease what may be coming in the next milestone. [h2]Auto Batteling[/h2] A huge focus of the new direction we have planned for the Outlaw Kingdom is the Auto Batteling mechanics, allowing you to meticulously set up your ambush and then watch everything play out in real time.

We want to keep it as clean as possible while offering more details when and where you need them, like when hovering over a unit or holding down an action key like Ctrl, Alt, or Space.

So far, we are super happy with the game feel and have moved on to our next set of milestones to keep you up to date with our development process so you can see how we are progressing. [h2]New Art[/h2] Along with all the changes we are making, it felt weird to have the old Steam page art showcasing the way the game used to look, so we have updated the artwork on the Steam page to match our new style!

We will also create our own terrain models to help tie the new characters' style to the environment's style. Something we are super hyped for! And we hope you will be too! (This is most likely what the next Steam post will be about 👀) Haven't seen the new Chracters style yet?
