• Animations - The Final Frontier

  9/5/2024

  One big area I've heard many of you mention, correctly, is that animations are a significant missing part of To Be A King. I'm happy to report that the second part of Volume 2 will include animations with that new content. I hunkered down and spent some time working on the process to produce animations, and I'm pretty pleased with early results. I am not sure about adding them to previous chapters, as that would require reworking all the art in each chapter, given that I've changed quite a bit in my software and processes...

Since the Steam DLC launch I've been focused on the content for Part 2. It is going to be bigger than Part 1, as all these branches necessitate a lot of content. Much like Part 1 was...

  A very large update for Volume 1 is here. You can read the details in the changelog below.
