Hi all, Ben here 👋

Gareth and I are excited to have shared our first playable version of Fool King with you all. We're really happy with the response so far and can't wait to improve and grow the game! 

Feedback

A huge thanks to everyone who has shared their feedback across various channels, we're working through it all and carefully balancing priorities on new content and improvements.

Bugs & QoL improvements

1) Win / Lose screen UI bug

Fixed the bug where the loadout would show over the win/lose screen. Thanks @Elliot!

2) Ultra wide monitor work around

We will add proper support in the long run but at the moment the game is unplayable on ultra wide montitors. We've added a quick and dirty hack. If you press F12 it will force the game to be windowed with a resolution of 2560x1440. Note: this isn't a toggle, to change it back use the settings menu.

Thanks to @Skiluc for pointing this one out.

3) Disable tutorials

Several people have pointed out that it is frustrating to see the tutorials every time boot up the game so seen tutorials are now stored and can be reset in the settings menu.

Mac Build

According to the Steam Hardware survey 1.76% of people play games on their Mac's and we’re here for you!

Considering that we are in early development we haven't gone through the Apple developer signing process. When you try to run the game, you may see a prompt saying "Fool King can't be opened because Apple cannot check for malicious software" which blocks you from opening the game. 

To bypass this issue follow these steps:

1) Go to System Settings > Privacy & Security.

2) Scroll down to Security.

3) If the block app is listed, click Open Anyway and enter your Mac’s password to open the app.

Develop: Brighton

This will be a bit of a slow week as we're off to Develop: Brighton to hang out on the beach pitch to publishers, see friends on the beach do business and BEAAACH  network.

More to come!

Stay tuned, we're going to have more updates soon!
