  Kings Origin 0.9.0 - Deep Dungeon

  Hello everyone.The new Kings Origin update is on its way, and this time we are not here to paint a wall: we are here to rebuild the fortress. The game continues to evolve toward a clearer, deeper experience, and above all one more focused on the dungeon as the core of the entire adventure.One of the most important changes is the unification of the interface. We have gathered the main functions in a single place so navigating the game becomes much simpler and more direct. Quick access options have also been added from rooms and units, so it will no longer be necessary to open full panels to check or manage important information. The dungeon thus becomes the true command center, as befits a lord with ambition and, why not say it, quite a lot of work ahead.There will also be a new guided tutorial in a separate mode, an improvement decided together with the community to make the onboarding experience clearer and more accessible from the very beginning. No more leaving the player staring into the abyss with an unlit torchAs for progression, we are continuing to deepen the most interesting layers of the system. S and SS ranks will now have greater impact in unit progression, the Lineage system will expand, and new synergies will arrive to reinforce the identity and specialization of each group. In other words: more decisions, more combinations, more possibilities to build an army worthy of legend... or of a glorious disaster.The update will also bring map challenges, new maps, a new lord, and for the first time, the range rank mechanic. Until now, combat worked in a more contained way, where units acted when detecting enemies inside their rooms. With this new system, combat gains an extra tactical layer and battlefield awareness, opening the door to richer and more strategic encounters.We continue shaping the game with the goal of making every run more solid, clearer, and more engaging. And yes, also more dangerous for your enemies.As always, we will read your comments an...

We want the world to evolve with the calendar, to feature special moments, unique challenges, and content that appears on specific dates. The game will not only grow… it will breathe.Changes to the release structureUntil now, development has followed an incremental progression:0.5 → 0.51 → 0.6 → 0.7…But we are reaching the end of the road toward the full version.After 0.90, the next step will be directly to 1.0.This means:Official exit from Early Access All main content available to unlock A complete and solid full experience From that point forward, we will change the version structure.Instead of continuing with 1.01, 1.02… we will move to a more structured model:1.10.0 1.20.0 1.30.0 Each major number will represent significant content blocks. More clarity, more planning, more ambition.We are leaving behind the constant experimental phase and stepping into a more organized expansion stage.Thank youMany of the decisions going into 1.0 were born here.From your comments. From your discussions. From your ideas that, once shaped, became real systems.This game would not be what it is without you.And now…I’m not going to reveal all the details yet.But I can say this:1.0 will not just add content.
