  King's Order 👑

  Hi everyone!I'm currently working on a new game mode for everyone who has already finished the main story and wants a new challenge.It's called King's Order.Unlike the main campaign, this is a completely separate game mode with its own save file and progression, so you can jump in without affecting your story progress.The idea is simple: every day the King demands a shipment of wood. Your job is to gather and deliver enough resources before the next morning. Each new order becomes more demanding than the last, and your goal is to keep fulfilling the King's demands for as long as you can without falling out of his favor.Here are some of the differences from the main game:Complete the King's daily wood orders.Endless gameplay with increasingly demanding orders.Fail to deliver an order before morning, and the run ends.The game only saves at the beginning of each new day.The lumberjack must rest at night, so working after dark is no longer possible.Some trees regrow every night.A different upgrade progression designed specifically for this mode.Workers are no longer limited to their own areas—they can work across the entire island.The mode is still in development, and I'm currently balancing everything, so some mechanics may still change before release.I hope to have it ready very soon. Thanks for all your feedback and support! 🌳
