Dev comments
It’s finally here! After a couple of months of work, I’m proud to present To Be A King Chapter 5. It’s been a bit since our last release (early October!), but I expect future releases will come much more quickly (and be about this large). A HUGE thanks to my dedicated beta team that worked a ton of hours to help me polish this release and make the game better.
Before you jump straight to the download links, let me review a few things you need to know. Future releases should not be near this amount of change, but I used the time in development to “reboot” a few things.
No more Android releases
I’m afraid that To Be A King Chapter 4 was the last Android release, at least for the foreseeable future. From here on out, I’ll support Mac, PC, and Linux with releases. I may resume Android releases, but, for now, it’s not something I want to devote development time to, especially with me not having any devices to test it on and fine tune it.
New saves required
Thank goodness we are only beginning Chapter 5 here. I hate to see a game chuck old saves out the window with new releases, and I’m hoping this will be it for me having to change it. With all the code changes, existing saves will not work at all. Don’t even try them. I do not enjoy games that break saves, and believe me, if there was a way to avoid this, I would have. I’ve taken every precaution to ensure my code is all set for the future, so this should be a one-time thing. I did add the ability to name your saves, which should make it MUCH easier to keep track of your paths.
There Is No Free Roam
I made the mistake of announcing it while it was in development. Once Chapter 5 was nearly done, I tried free roam more extensively. It was not near as fun as it needed to be (more on that in this week’s dev update). So we are back to the traditional VN with branching paths. No need to click anywhere special or do anything more than follow the story, make your choices, and watch things play out. Sorry for anyone who was looking forward to this, but I can’t leave something in that isn’t as fun as it should be.
