[h2]Greetings, my King! [/h2]
It has been a long time since we started working on King's Orders. The game has undergone a lot of gradual changes, and we have finally decided that it's the right time to show the new visuals to our players. Some of them are purely cosmetic, while others are related to the gameplay itself. Take a quick look with us and let us know what you think about them all!

[i]"A video is worth a thousand words"[/i]. While this quote might have been slightly different in origin, we are pretty sure that watching new visuals in action will be the most interesting to you! Take a look at the new video below:

[b]So what in particular has changed? [/b]
[list]
[*] 3D models for books, candles, and all the other little props visible around the map,
[*] Lightning and the color scheme, now the map is slightly darker, but should also have this nice, warm feeling to it,
[*] There are new, more detailed textures,
[*] Fog of War was added to the game, to clearly inform you about the areas where you can track the messengers and enemy armies.

Just to make the difference even more clear, here's a quick before and after comparison:

[h2]State of the project[/h2]
We are currently working on the Alpha build. The main logic of the game has been implemented and we are working on balancing the core mechanics. It's already possible to recruit new armies, move them around, and fight with them. You can recruit generals and spies, while the enemy does the same. You can manage your cities, deciding for example on tax levels or new buildings, that you would like to build. And of course, you can order any necessary action in the game by writing a new letter. It feels really good and unique!
Thank you for your ongoing support of our game! Don't forget to let us know how you feel about the recent visual changes. Has anything in particular caught your attention? How do you rate the new visuals? We will be happy to read about it all.
Your majesty's
King's Orders Team
