Each piece can hold up to 4 items, so that's a lot of variations! We needed a way to show ALLLL the piece informations easily, so I worked on this window. It uses a combo of different elements, including hyperlinks to show a quick definition of an important term!

Speaking of evolving, I made a system that allows you to do just that. In the camp scene you can add peasants to your army, and then drop items on them. Based on the combination you've equipped, the piece will change. Pardon the greyboxey art for now!

We've started to show our attack animations a bit more love! First one we revamped is the horse's trample.
I love adding VFXs so I'm really excited to have started on those! Any advice to make these animations better is super appreciated 🙏

Devlog 12 of Kingdom in Pieces!
We reworked the lighting and almost hit 60fps even while recording on an old computer. Also gave some love to one of the first UIs you’ll see when launching the game.
Like, comment, and share for more behind-the-scenes!

Devlog 11 is here!
We brought The Doctor to life, one of the Varnak's earliest creations. He's built to stitch flesh into new horrors! My favorite detail on that piece is the notebook.
He really needs a new name though, so drop your ideas below!

Meet the Doctor!
One of the Dark Wizard’s earliest creations. It was built from a surgeon’s remains and reshaped with insect-like arms built for precision. With his help, Varnak’s army grew faster than the humans could prepare for.

Each of these minis has its own little story, and finding ways to show that in a still pose is so fun! It definitely makes us respect even more the artists who design plastic minis for tabletop.

It now feels less repetitive, can play actions that need context clues, and we’re nearly done giving each piece its own way to judge “good” moves.

I moved to a new place this week so I wasn’t as productive! We did add our first villain piece though, so now’s the perfect time to share our vision for them 👀
Got an idea for a cool villain to join the ranks of the dark wizard’s army?

Meet the brute! A mess of corpses on boar legs, reanimated by the enemy’s so-called “SCIENCE!” They're slow but when they hit, it’s like three soldiers at once! Would you fight this brute head-on, or keep your distance?

It’s making up moves mid-game just to win. Next step is going to have to be teaching it to actually play fair.
