Hello everyone,
I’ve just pushed an update to the Steam build of the game that addresses a number of issues and bugs discovered by the community. I’ve also spent some time uniforming the UI and cleaning up a few menu’s, making them easier and less frustrating to navigate.
Additionally the major feature this update brings is the support for Hero Residence Relocation, in other words, you can now relocate your heroes home without having to delete them or fire them or similar workarounds. If you wish to change a Hero’s abode, simply select them in the Hero View and click the “Move” button and select an empty house. Similarly, if you have multiple empty homes when hiring a new hero, you can choose where to house them before they join you.
I’m also pleased to announce that Cloud Saves are now functional for RPG Tycoon and support cross-platform play. So if you’re like me and have a Mac Laptop and a Windows Desktop or vice-versa and wish to play your Kingdom saves, you now can!
There’s no update video this time I’m afraid as the patch is mostly bug fixes, optimisations and UI tweaks. For a full list of changes check the notes below.
