- Save and Load - 12 July 2020
The patch is quite self-explanatory. I also added some new UI to the main menu, load screen and of course the save game framework. Save games are NOT going to be guaranteed to work across big patches. Atleast until we are out of early access. Ensuring compatability is a large amount of work and I decided it was not worth it for now. Next up I plan to fix a few bugs you guys have been reporting, and start working on the Seasons and Farming systems! Join our discord to follow the development, https://discord.gg/VWecwS7 have a great day, Simon
- Back with a vengeance - 31 May 2020
Join our discord! Going solo this time, it's been really hard getting to this point, but finally I feel like i have the start of something great that is ready for Early Access. Its still quite buggy, but stable enough to be in early access. There are way too many changes to list off, and i've probably forgotten hundreds of small things i've changed, added or removed. But the biggest changes of all include: Raiding You can now dispatch vikings on raids, either they return with booty or they dont return at all. Its a risky move that may or may not pay off. Currently the raiding system is bare bones, but its a skeleton that I want to build a complex system of relationship management, strategy, war and drama. Visual overhaul I've spent a lot of time working on getting the visual fidelity to more what i imagined it should look like. There are many elements that I still havent worked on, but…
- WE ARE GOING ON VACATION - 25 September 2018
So i've been meaning to make this announcement for a while. I've finally decided to just do it. WE ARE TAKING A LONG VACATION! Both me and danny are completely burnt out and stressed out of our minds. We have tried for so long to just survive, and kept releasing sub-par patches and slowly tried to ramp up production. But after very long discussions we have decided that this is the wrong way to go. Things are simply too slow. We want to get back to the super high tempo that we had before we burnt out. To do that we have decided that things need to get slow, before they can speed up. We have decided to stop working completely until january 2019 and put all of our attention on resting and healing. In january we will resume operations, and hopefully we will feel much much better, and can start kicking ass again. So i can already imagine all the hate comments and negative reviews, but we hav…

- Hotfix 0.5.0.5 - 15 March 2018
Freeze's are only acceptable during Midvinter Here’s a hotfix that should fix the most immediate crashes and freezes you’ve been experiencing. Fixed a crash that would happen when you went on an adventure Fixed a freeze on game load Fixed a freeze when you throw vikings into water Fixed a freeze with vikings wandering around Tweaks: Torches and braziers now require a little less coal Thank you all for being patient and understanding. We pushed ourselves a little too far with the day/night patch, and Danny is currently experiencing some burnout, so we are forced to slow down and lick our wounds for a short while before picking up speed again. Thank you for helping us develop this amazing game!

- Day / Night cycle! - Patch 0.5.0 - 8 March 2018
It's time to enter darkness. Day & Night cycle Let the darkness surround your island and viking settlement. Set alight all the torches and watch the mist roll in from the ocean. The big feature of this patch is Darkness. A much needed change from the monotonous perpetual day we’ve had up until now. To adapt the game for this change has been huge, spanning all features of the game, so I hope you can have understanding for how long time it took us to get here! New UI for the buildings to support more types! We had to revamp the building UI because the old format just couldnt support this amount of buildings, so this new one should have more space, let us know what you think of it! Torches and Braziers Light up the night with these fancy torches and braziers! Adventures & Treasures Send your vikings out on missions to collect valuable treasures! This feature is the framework that we will t…

- 30 Vikings? How about 300? 0.4.3 is here! - 8 February 2018
Today I want to tell you that we just implemented the biggest performance increases yet. The amount of vikings you can recruit before your computer dies just increased by something like 300-500% :) Together with that we also threw in a couple bug fixes and improvements to the UI Performance: Fixed a bleed that would increase exponentially as you gained more vikings Recruiting more vikings would cause a big lag spike later on during the game Alleviated stuttering that would occur when you recruited a large number of vikings Bugs: Scuba-diving vikings are no-more (hopefully atleast, they really like scuba-diving) Every homeless person would say “gained home” when placing a house, even if that is sadly not true. Woodchoppers are no longer inactive on a loaded game start Houses are now set on fire correctly Fixed buildings not being properly built when placed Dead viking profile pages are n…
