In response to community feedback, we've been working hard behind the scenes to improve mobility in Portal Knights...

COMING SOON! Portal Knights - Update v 0.6.0 - NPCs

In response to community feedback, we're introducing NPCs to Portal Knights in Update v 0.6.0, scheduled for release on October 6th 2016!

We're super excited to announce that we're also introducing a trading system to Portal Knights. Some NPCs are going to serve as vendors with specific items in their stock that the player can buy with gold. The player can also sell unused items to the vendor NPCs to free up space in the backpack and earn gold required to buy the items offered by the various vendors. Oh... And that's not all... As part of the update, you'll also be able to take part in all-new NPC quests! Get ready to earn those rewards. ;)

You'll also notice in the below video that a 'portal compass' is being introduced to Portal Knights. This will help those knights who want some guidance on the direction they need to take in order to find a portal... (Particularly handy when you're playing on the larger islands!)

Stay tuned for more info on Update v 0.6.0! We're super excited about this update and we hope you guys are too! :)

We are very sorry to disappoint you all as we know there are some great additions in the latest version but rest assured we are working very hard to get this to you as soon as possible.

We will keep you updated on when you will be able to download this latest update and once again we are sorry this could not be with you sooner.

Additions
- NPCs have been added to the world. They will only appear in freshly unlocked islands or new universes.

- Many new buildings and deco props have been added together with the NPCs.

- Added story snippets or gameplay tips to the islands via chatty “story”-NPCs.

- There is now a trading system. Some NPCs serve as vendors with specific items in their stock that the player can buy with gold.

- The player can sell unused items to the vendor NPCs to free up space in the backpack and to earn the gold required to buy the items offered by the various vendors.

- Many NPCs offer quests which lead through the game and bring nice rewards.

- The game now has pets that accompany the player on his or her journey. They are sold by a pet vendor or found with a bit of luck in cages deep down in dungeons.

- Pets are equipped in the armor menu similar to armor or vanity items.

- The Archer class now has a dedicated crafting station similar to the anvil and altar for Warriors and Mages.

- A new crafting station “Drafting Table” now offers the recipes for furniture, props and the like.

- New events with new environmental effects and added trophies.

- Attacking and mining can now be done while moving.

- A new tool has been implemented: the portal compass. It constantly shows north when selected in the actionbar and shows the general direction, both horizontal and vertical, of any still locked portal on the island when triggered. The recipe is automatically unlocked at level 2 of the Workbench.

Changes
- Seedlings have been refurbished so that it is easier to distinguish them from each other visually.

- The item icons and 3D pictures of the character in the UI have been visually tweaked.

- Crafting stations show their tier now better with the metal they are partially made off.

- Loading an island with an active event now shows the remaining time at the beginning.

Fixes
- Several causes for crash bugs during game booting and island loading have been fixed.

- Network code has been tweaked to cause less traffic. The improvements are ongoing, of course.

- Save data is more secure now in case there is an unexpected PC shutdown or game crash.

- It is no longer possible to join players who are not in friendslist over the Steam client.

- It is no longer possible to join a game where the host is not on the friendlist over the ingame list of matches.

- Enemies are no longer floating down walls or steep hills.

- Several small improvements to enemy behaviour.

- The Fruit Hat vanity item can now be crafted correctly.

- The overall performance has been improved. This should be noticeable in large islands with many dungeons.

Update v 0.6.2 Available to download NOW! (Contains crash fix)

Hi everyone!

We're pleased to announce that Update v 0.6.2 is available to download NOW!

Update v 0.6.2 fixes a crash bug which occurred during load screens. The crash occurred for those with older hardware / laptops and was caused by shadow rendering. Players who experienced this crash will be able to play the game with Update 0.6.2 but the shadows will not be displayed for them in-game.

We also received reports of players whose crafting stations would not work correctly after updating to 0.6.0 or 0.6.1. The easiest way to make the crafting stations work normally again is to mine them once. This will drop the crafting station and additionally some resources that may have been "stuck" in the station. Once the station has been placed again, it will work as intended from there on.

Thanks everyone for your patience!

Firstly… Welcome to another community blog! As you can probably imagine, there’s a lot going on behind the scenes in the world of Portal Knights, as we continue to bring suggestions to life and work on bringing a bunch of new features to the game. When we look back, it’s crazy to see how far this game has come, but we’ve still got lots in the pipeline and are we are far from done!

UPDATE V 0.6.0
Last month, we launched our latest update… Update v 0.6.0. This update introduced some huge community features to Portal Knights… NPC’s, pets, all-new events, combat improvements, the portal compass and much more! The response from the community has been incredible and we’re so pleased that you’re enjoying the update as much as we are. Looking back, Portal Knights has come a long way since launching into Early Access in February. However, be rest assured, we’re going to keep on pushing! Soon after we launched our latest update, we asked our community to once again provide us with some feedback in the form of a short survey. This is something we’re going to continue doing, as the info we get is invaluable to the team. Many of you continue to put some time aside to give us your thoughts and for that, we want to say a massive thank you! You guys are awesome! Expect another survey on your social timeline soon after the launch of our next update… ;)

UPDATE V 0.7.0
Speaking of future updates… What’s next in the pipeline? Well... Behind the scenes, our team of developers are continuing to work flat out on the next update, which is scheduled for launch at the end of November. While we don’t want to give everything away at this stage, what we can say is we’re super excited at what’s to come. Update v 0.7.0 is filled with even more community requests, including water, which we announced most recently. We know this is something our players have been asking for since our EA launch, so we’re thrilled to be bringing it to Portal Knights as part of our next major update. As you can imagine, implementing water isn’t an easy task, but our developers have been working incredibly hard to make this happen. We cannot wait to see what our community does with it! Once Update v 0.7.0 is out in the wild, be sure to share your screenshots and videos with us – We’ll repost as many as we can across our social channels in the near future! As for what else is coming… Well, you’re just going to have to wait and see! Stay tuned to our community channels over the next couple of weeks as we unveil more info on Update v 0.7.0! We think you’re going to love it! ;)

LOYALTY
We’re learning so much during this Early Access period and we have our community to thank for that. You guys have been so incredibly loyal, supportive and encouraging! There’s still a long way to go and we know that, but we’re pushing hard and we’re going to continue to try and bring your awesome suggestions to life! We’re not just appreciative for the positive comments that come through, but also the constructive criticism we receive. We’ve always been open to suggestion and this isn’t about to change. Our community have been so honest with us during our EA journey and we want to take this opportunity to thank you for that. It makes a massive difference! As we’ve said many, many times before, we’re developing Portal Knights WITH our community, so please, continue to be open and honest with us. It means world to us and we’re so grateful to have you guys on board.

Keep on being awesome and have a great week!
