Castle Craft

Dear Castle Crafters, Turret Tinkerers, and Moat Masters,After more than a year of implementing your fantastic feedback, squashing more bugs than our house cat Lucky, and wringing enough performance out of the engine that even our ancient laptop can run it - we\'re finally ready to call Castle Craft ready for 1.0! 🎉
 
Here\'s what\'s packed into this release:
 
🛠️ Level Editor: build your own maps and share them on Steam⚔️ Skirmish mode: jump in for a quick fight in player made maps 
🌗 Day & Night cycle + Weather SystemBecause castles look cooler at dusk!
 
🌀 Fluid simulation: water, lava, and swamp, all with real gameplay impact 
🛠️ And much more:🏛️ Two new buildings: the Wellspring and the Scorchwell, for taming those unruly liquid blocks
🚀 Performance improvements across the board
🗣️ New languages: Swiss German, Ukrainian, Turkish, and Czech
🐛 A mountain of bug fixes
🐞 …and probably a few brand-new bugs we\'ll be standing by to squash

So what does \"1.0\" actually mean?It\'s just a label and we\'re not stopping here. But Castle Craft is now close enough to the game we set out to make that it deserves to stand on its own as a finished thing. The early rough edges are mostly gone, a lot of content and some polish have been added, and we\'ve managed to ship many (most?!) of the features you (and my kids) have been asking for.
New bugs are inevitable when you add this much new stuff, but Marco and I are on standby. Post here on Steam or drop by our Discord, and we\'ll get on it.
One thing we haven\'t delivered: multiplayer. We know. A lot of you have asked, and we hear you. The honest answer is that proper multiplayer is a massive undertaking, and as a small 2 person team we had to make a call: finish the core game we set out to build first, then see what\'s possible next.That said, we haven\'t been ignoring it. Some of the groundwork is already underway: Our custom voxel engine, for one, was built with multiplayer futures in mind. We can\'t promise a full multiplayer mode yet, but it\'s very much on our minds. If Castle Craft keeps finding its players and we can keep working on Castles and Voxels, we\'d love to make it happen.
We know this isn\'t \"multiplayer is done!\" some of you were hoping for, but we\'d rather ship one great game than half-ship two. Thanks for understanding and for sticking with us this far.
Thanks for sticking with us through the journey. Now go build something glorious. 🏰
