Works, but may need extra effort. Results from Valve's own testing.

Every build released on Steam for this game since we started tracking it, with the developer's patch notes. Updated within minutes of each new build.
Been way too long for you all to have an update. Short answer: this next chapter is going to be finishing up Part 2, and therefore is extremely large with a lot of content. I'll give you the answer you're most seeking up-front: the Steam release will be within…
Thought I'd drop a quick update here on development progress for the next Steam DLC release. It is going to be packed with new content, and it will probably be another case of this next DLC being as large as everything that came before it. We are getting into …
I'll start with an apology for the confusion I caused with my last announcement. I did not mean to mislead, but it is very clear that I should have adjusted that announcement quite a bit. I will make sure to be much more careful in the future. Second, I really…
Thanks to regular steady progress in development (finally!), I've set release dates for the next three releases. Chapter 11 ended up growing quite a bit, so I've split what was originally planned for Chapter 11 into two parts. What was Chapter 11 - Part 1, is …
Ugh, lighting. The bane of my development existence. That and environments got a lot of attention over the last few weeks. It's been a wild ride, and, at times, I was questioning why I decided to take the plunge into UE. Lighting This is always a struggle. Daz…
What a month it has been. The highest highs, and the lowest lows. The good news is that we are ending the last 30 days on a high note. Strap yourself in because a LOT has happened. Clothing - What A Mess Clothing nearly did me in. Days of testing and tweaking …
Realized it has been quite a long time since I've posted here. I'm still alive, and the game work continues. Boy did this next chapter turn into quite the large project. With as large as it is looking to be, there is a good chance that the chapter comes to Ste…
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 w…
Greetings! To say I'm humbled by the response to Volume 2 - Part 1's release on Steam is an understatement. Thank you to everyone who purchased this next installment of To Be A King, and I love all the enthusiasm for the continuation of the story. I am as eage…
Volume 2 - Part 1, the next installment in our story, is now available for purchase. Four new chapters, nearly the size of Volume 1, and some big decisions. After the big ending of Volume 1, our hero faces some difficult challenges, and he discovers much more …
A very large update for Volume 1 is here. You can read the details in the changelog below. Myself and my beta testing team have put a lot of hours into checking for problems, but no software is ever bug free. If you have any trouble or think you've found a bug…
It will be a very busy March. As previously announced, I'm bringing the first four chapters of To Be A King Volume 2 to Steam as Volume 2 - Part 1. I'm pleased to announce a March 29 release date for this, as well as a walkthrough for the first part of Volume …
Chapter 11 is now available, and we are that much closer to a Volume 2 release on Steam. Only issue is that the story keeps growing a bit. I am back on a nice regular development schedule and already hard at work on Chapter 12's writing. In celebration of Chap…
To Be A King is back this holiday season with another exciting sale! We want to celebrate this winter, and what better way to celebrate than with an attractive discount on the game for everyone on Steam! ❄️ Steam Winter Sale is on right now and that means you …
Would you believe I'm still not over this virus? It isn't near as terrible, but I am definitely approaching that 8-10 week mark. The good news is that it is causing me fewer issues day-by-day. I did check in again with the doctor, and they confirmed it just is…

Apparently someone was plotting against me. The last three weeks have seen me recovering from a nasty virus (not covid, thankfully). At times I was a bit worried that parts of my lung might come out, as the coughing is intense. Nothing I've gotten from the doc…
Here is where we are with Chapter 11's development. Even more progress has been made in correcting issues and improving the look of the final renders and animations. In addition, there are a few story changes that I'm making to the script. This has been a slog…
