V0.5 of The Four Kingdoms has been released, which is likely to be the last time I release a large update for TFK for the foreseeable future. This update contains a smattering of new content but was created with the intent of testing, so will certainly be buggy and is in no way complete.
The change log and explanation for the origins of this build can be found on the TFgamesSite thread below and I will be posting a more in depth reasoning in the coming days.

For now, I consider TFK to be a concept that will never be completed. But fret not, those who enjoyed playing through TFK because after a lot of practise, testing and prototypes I have begun work on a new game which I intend to take above and beyond what TFK did, whilst keeping some of the core concepts and general ideas intact and provide the wide range of content in a clearer, more engaging way.
I am currently at the stage of writing the release content of the first build of "Crystal Chase", which will be gracing your monitors in the near future. So keep an eye on this blog and the TFGamesSite forums for an announcement and explanation of my new project which I eagerly look forward to sharing with you!
Anudder year :<

ReplyDeleteJust wanted to let you know that your game is one of my favorites in the hundreds I've played.
ReplyDeleteHope you are still around.
"Near future" means over a year? That is really sad, I would have loved to see more of your world building. You know, as a programmer I know what it means to be faced with a cluster of bugs and twisting paths. As a story teller, I know how easy it is to produce content just to rewrite it to avoid discrepancies. However, working through these problems makes you better at your profession and a brilliant finished product. Abandoning Four Kingdoms was not the right decision. If you create a following. You have a duty to finish what you started, or in the very least state that you will no longer be creating content under that handle. I have seen this too much and it is utterly appalling. If you make something you should finish it, even if it is hard. Four Kingdoms is great, but player hunger for more. Too bad people will not be satiated.
