160,000 wishlists later, the roguelite city builder’s original prototype hands in its badge and rides off into the sunset
April 5, 2024 – Hooded Horse and Feryaz Beer today bid farewell to a true hero – the original prototype for roguelite city-building game Super Fantasy Kingdom.
It is being retired as the developer shifts focus towards main game
development, including a new and improved demo that will debut later
this year.
Thrown together as a proof of concept in less than a
month, the original demo debuted alongside Super Fantasy Kingdom itself
during TactiCon 2023, earning over 85,000 wishlists in the first three months alone.
Throughout 2023, the prototype was updated over 100 times with new
experimental mechanics such as a faith skill tree, new characters,
reworked performance, and more. Super Fantasy Kingdom has earned over
160,000 wishlists to date, all thanks to the prototype that could.
The game is now officially in pre-alpha, with regular playtests and
updates that take it in exciting new directions – slowly, the original
demo is becoming less representative of the final vision. Players can
stay up to date on the game’s development via the official Discord and Twitter accounts.
Super Fantasy Kingdom will be coming to early access on PC via Steam Early Access in 2024.
