For the King - Spring Update

In a new update for For The King, information is provided on what is happening now and what might/will happen in the future.

You might remember that we promised to give our backers free console keys for either PS4 or XBONE. We will be sending out a survey to each of you to gather the necessary information to get you the key of your choice. Unfortunately it will not be possible to include the Switch as an option for the free key given that Nintendo does not allow developers to generate mass quantities of keys for their games without substantial cost.

Language Addition

We have recently added two new languages to For the King: Japanese and Korean! This brings our total up to 12! It’s been really wonderful watching people from across the globe get party wiped in a multitude of languages and we are very excited to expand our Asian market. These will be the final two languages added to the game. 

Seasonal Unlocks

As FTK has now reached a feature complete state, we have added a few more fun ways to keep things fun and interesting in the long term. Seasonal unlocks are now something you can spend some of your extra Lore Points on during any holidays allowing you to get limited time cosmetics for your characters.

Future Plans

Deciding the next major steps as a game studio is not something we take lightly. Do we continue to support For the King or is our time best spent starting a new project? That is of course a popular topic around the office these days.

An idea we had been toying with (and have mentioned a few times to gauge interest) is the idea of FTKMaker, an adventure making tool for FTK. We took big strides towards completing such a tool and would love to see what the community would create. Unfortunately we have instead decided to cancel any plans we initially had for it. Weighing the pros and cons we have concluded that FTKMaker would consume too many of our resources in the long term as it would require a tremendous amount of support to be successful. The engineering lessons we learned in building our FTKMaker prototype will prove very valuable for our next project, all is not lost!
