- Game Delisting - 27 June 2025
Dear players,We want to inform you that we will be removing our game from the Steam store. Development on the project ended some time ago due to budget and technical reasons, and while this has been communicated in our community forums, we feel it's now necessary to take this step to prevent new players from purchasing an unfinished experience. Recieving more and more negative feedback for the state the game was left, we feel it has to be done.We sincerely apologize to everyone who supported and believed in the game. Your enthusiasm and feedback meant the world to us. This wasn't an easy decision, but it’s made out of respect for our community and transparency for future customers.Thank you for being part of this journey.With appreciation, The World of Castles Team

At first, we should apologize for very slow development. We are very sorry that this project had hopes to be developed in at least a small team (around 5-7 people) to bring a decent amount of new stuff per taken time. Which this project would deserve. Unfortunately you might see that the budget did not allow us to work more than in core team of one artist and one programmer which is crazy state as these high detailed things takes quite a good amount of time... On the other hand, we absolutely understand, that it is very fair to wait with purchase up to the time, when game brings at least some more playability. Two…

And as we have fixed them, there is no reason to not release cleaner version. Also, we are adding some extra fixes found by our testers and some new models or GUI changes as a side product of the upcoming fief simulation. Key changes are: -fixed crash caused by trees, which appeared under water, because of terraformation. - fixed statics issue, that did not add basements to small blocks, resulted in flying structures - collider performance improvements of some platform blocks. - floors algorithm upgrade, now it is easier to place floors - house floors added - platform entry blocks added - fixed seams on rampart corner block - added triangle floors - harvester's hut added - new slider and checkbox…

- Patch 0.0.03J Mac Issues - 2 August 2018
Hello our players, we were forced to revert the last patch for macs from 0.0.03j to 0.0.0.3i due to rendering issues on some critical materials (terrain, block preview etc.). Issues are probably caused by engine patch, which changed some keywords for macs and now it is ignoring its exceptions and tries to render as on windows... Unfortunately, the solution might take many days and that's why we decided to revert the patch before we are able to solve it. Thank you for understanding. Jakub
- Patch 0.0.03J - Warming patch for frozen issues. - 30 July 2018

- Near Future of WoC - 21 July 2018
Dear friends, For sure you’ve registered that the development is not going as scheduled especially with the promised combat. We are fully aware of the commitments we have to you, as our supporters, our customers. That is why it should be fair to inform you our faithful community about such important things. We started the project full of enthusiasm and engagement, and this state remains. Still 2 devs are working more than full time on this project. Some time ago we realized, that this game needs to deliver gameplay as soon as possible. And our original combat concept has one big flaw. The gameplay is possible only when combat is flawless and highly detailed as you see enemies from a very close distance. Which brings a lot of unexpected issues and in the level of highest details. Also combat without destroying castles would not be as catchy and would not make sense, why should we build c…

We made more skies, so it will not always look absolutely same. Ramparts got…

Greetings fellow lords! At first, we would like to apologize for recent stabilization issues. We changed a lot of core code which caused some new issues or even returned old ones.

Also, you can find few more new blocks as usual. Cha…
- 0.0.03F hotfix - 27 March 2018
We apologize, probably during packing game, it duplicated game management scripts in map mountains. Causing that with 50% it loads broken scripts or working scripts. So it passed through quick tests as we, unfortunately, had luck. In another way, it would spawn camera beneath a terrain and your load would not load at all. Patch will be ready within an hour for windows and up to 3 hours for other platforms It also comes out with: -2 new blocks of wooden battlements suitable on that 4m diameter rounded blocks in strong ramparts. - a fixed icon in strong ramparts for the arch. - 1 crash fix when you moved preview very fast out of borders. Again we apologize for the inconvenience what you have experienced with this issue. Thank you for your feedback, so we could fix this very fast.
