Just a quick note: I caught a cold and have been sick the last week, so I’ve fallen behind on my beta test replies.
So, if you haven’t heard back, please be patient. I’ve scheduled the weekend to get back on track and I’ll kill those bugs then.

Looking to add romance to the game? Or will it be basically a simulator game.

No romance this time.

My inbox is suspiciously empty of errors. Does this mean Beta is reaching the end?
How is the balance? I think the removal of repeated random events helped a lot. Also the fact that you can grow to overcome any challenge.
How many game days did it take to complete? I think completion in 150 days is very manageable,
but I hope I haven’t made the achievement impossible with a completion of 100 days, on Normal and Hard. That’s where this weekend’s testing will take me.

Version 1.19 - October 15, 2023
- Able to command all stone pickaxe, bronze pickaxe, and iron pickaxe miners to stop working for easier transitions.
- Able to command all stone axe lumberjacks, bronze axe lumberjacks, and iron axe lumberjacks to stop working for easier transitions.
- Fixed Advice errors accidentally getting crammed together, including: farmers and food gatherers, bronze smiths.
- Various text and wording changes.
- Finished the descriptions!
Okay, people, we’re getting really close! At this moment, I’ve responded to all of the messages in my inbox and every known error has been fixed.
I’ve also finished my descriptions, yay!
I’ve decided to commission new artwork for the game, so that’s still in progress too.
In fact, the only thing still hanging over my head at the moment is the screenshots. This might be tricky, since I can’t just pick some good choices and remove the stuff around it. The game is just too dynamic and changing! This might be a bigger problem than I thought. I’m suspecting that I’ll use the quickstarts in some way.
So, if anyone wants to help beta test, now is your chance! Read the first message in this thread for joining instructions.
Only 2 weeks left! The goal is to submit the game by the end of October.

Seeking Beta Testers, again!
Daria: A Kingdom Simulator: Released on April 4th, 2024. I learned that every time I update the game, it will reset everyone’s progress. This is because the majority of the game runs in a single scene/chapter/file. As such, I am being VERY careful to limit the updates.
I’d like to gather existing beta testers and new beta testers to test the game with Beta Testing Cheats, in order to reproduce errors and make sure I don’t cause any new errors while fixing the old ones.

If you helped me beta test this game and you’d like to test some more, please email me at lucid519@gmail.com and let me know so I can send you a new link.
-
If you will respond and if you have time to test this game over the next couple of days, please email me at lucid519@gmail.com I’m going to limit this post-release beta test, so I’d prefer people who know they will play and will respond in the next day or so.
Thanks!

This post-release beta will probably close Monday. So, if you have time this weekend and you will respond with feedback, please send me an email as mentioned in the previous post.
This might be your only opportunity to use the beta test cheats in an attempt to catch any final bugs and verify that I’ve fixed the problems found already.
Thanks!
