Development Sneak Peek #04

Thronefall

A minimalist game about building and defending your little kingdom.

[b]Dear Queens and Kings,[/b] We’re hard at work to finish up the next level for Thronefall and are excited to finally share a glimpse of what’s coming: [I]Explore the remains of an ancient realm while relentless rain is pouring onto the rugged slopes of [b]Sturmklamm[/b]. Looking like the perfect site for a mighty stronghold, what could have been the reason for the former rulers to abandon this place?[/i] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43325109/ff70289f0ca0349901edb303fb1b9c565b12a691.png[/img] During the community survey in October you gave us a lot of feedback about what you liked and disliked in the existing Thronefall levels and what kind of content you’d wish for in the future. We listened closely to that and tried to design Sturmklamm accordingly. While we’re busy applying the final touches, here’s a quick summary of what will await you: • a compact level layout that will allow you to check on most of the action at the same time, resulting in less stressful combat compared to larger maps like Durststein • a new weapon • new perks, buildings and enemy types • an atmospheric thunderstorm All this gets also added to the Eternal Trials mode of course! We’re not entirely sure yet about the exact date, but Sturmklamm will be released between January 31st and February 5th 2024. [b]Heads-up: Price Increase[/b] As stated on the store page, we plan to increase Thronefall’s price in proportion to the new content that we add to the game. Thronefall has grown a lot since its Early Access launch in August 2023 and after releasing the new map we are going to increase the game’s price from 6.99$ to 9.99$ (or the equivalent in your country's currency), presumably mid February 2024. This will of course not affect people who already own Thronefall. To celebrate the first 6 months of Early Access and give everybody the opportunity to pick up the game at its current price we’ll do a special sale *before* the price increases. As always, thank you all for being such a wonderful community. We’re so happy about all the thoughtful feedback and kind words we receive. You’re the reason that working on Thronefall is so much fun! [i]All the best, Jonas and Paul[/i]
