Weekly Work In Progress Report - 1st Update
Hello, fans and newcomers :)
When we started working on Be the Ruler (it was called The Kings Destiny then), we set the game in medieval France. We wanted to combine simple interface with deep, engaging and historically accurate gameplay. We also designed comic-style graphics.
Then we showed our game to friends, business partners, as well as you - future players – and received a lot of interesting feedback. You wanted to defend England against Vikings, or invade England as Vikings. You wanted us to do something unique with the art style. We listened.
That’s how Be the Ruler: A Game of Britannia was born. You start the game at 700 AD as the monarch of a petty English kingdom. Your task is to unify England before William the Conqueror does it.
Main features of the game:
• Manage the kingdom and make decisions that impact four social classes (nobles, clergy, peasantry, townsmen)
• Build your dynasty (for glory)
• Raise children to develop better successors
• Defend faith
• Conquer your neighbors by war and diplomacy
• Historical events and characters (like Ragnar Lodbrok)
• Maintain relationships with other nobles
• Cross-platform multiplayer
Development status - what we’ve already done:
• First final arts for the game
• Tech demo. The playable demo will be ready as soon as we prepare graphics
• Tests of the first multiplayer iteration
Plans for the next seven days:
• Graphics: first characters and UI elements
• Gameplay: first 30 events in Anglo-Saxon setting
• Assembling an early game prototype and a gameplay video with the new art style
Thanks for reading and wishlisting - stay tuned for new updates :)
