Roadmap | Kingdom Builders

From Rapid Early Access to Full Release - welcome to Kingdom Builders roadmap!

Down below you can see what features and improvements are planned for Kingdom Builders.

Big Game, Small Team

We are currently a small team of 4 members, so it might take a while until big new updates are finished.

If many players join our Early Access, we can add more members and increase our development speed!

Agile Roadmap

We have a clear vision for Kingdom Builders, but instead of having pre-defined roadmap that specifies every detail for the next 2 years we use an agile roadmap.

This allows us to adjust the roadmap to the players' feedback and ideas

We Listen To You!

You have an amazing idea for this game? Join us on Discord and let us know!

We actively listen to the community because our goal is to make Kingdom Builders as fun as possible for you, the players.

No Dates Guaranteed

Important: This roadmap is not set in stone but subject to changes. There is no guarantee for any release dates of any updates.

Game development is always very complex and we don't want to disappoint anyone.

Want to add something to this roadmap? Want us to add a feature earlier than currently planned?

Let us know on Discord!

planned for v0.15

Settings menu

improvement

In the alpha version, the game directly starts in fullscreen with 1920x1080 resolution. We want to add a proper settings menu, where you can adjust resolution settings.

planned for v0.15

Villager pathfinding

improvement

As many players mentioned, villagers often block each other in a settlement. This can be very annoying, especially since it can lead to automatic productions stopping, like food carriers. We want to improve the AI that this doesn't happen anymore.

Wheat and Bread

new feature

We want to add wheat fields, wind mills and a bakery as an advanced alternative to berry farms for providing food for your settlement

XP and Level up system

new feature

to be decided

Combat AI improvements

improvement

We'd like to make your companions smarter by expanding their AI, so that they can evade enemy attacks

released in v0.14.0!

Tree respawns & forester hut

new feature

In Kingdom Builders alpha version there is only a finite amount of trees. We want to change this: When you cut down trees, new tree saplings will spawn and grow.
We also add a forester hut - a building that automates cutting down trees.

working on design

Food overhaul

improvement

Currently the city center also incorporates the "kitchen" - we want to make 2 separate buildings for that. The system how food is consumed and how it affects the villagers' happiness is a bit weird - we want to find a better design for these systems.

Research mechaning: Inventor's Shed

new feature

Several players suggested a research mechanic, where you gradually unlock more and more building types by reaching certain milestones. We want to add the Inventor's shed for this! A building, where a smart inventor villager can research new buildings if you bring him the right materials.

to be decided

Online coop multiplayer

new feature

Naturally, we want to add online coop after having added offline coop. Again, this is technically quite complex, so we don't have a specific plan for it at the moment.

to be decided

Offline coop multiplayer

new feature

Like so many players, we also think adding coop multiplayer would make the game even more fun. This is quite a big task though, so we don't have a specific plan right now, when we can do this.
