The first update, KoE: Domains, will expand Kingdoms of Elyria to include 4X and grand strategy mechanics by introducing travel between settlements and the ability to advance to governing a County, Duchy, or Kingdom. The initial release, named KoE: Settlements, will focus on colony sim mechanics.

KoE will have an initial release, followed by 3 free updates. Additionally, KoE simultaneously expands the Elyria ecosystem and meets the demand for a new approach to the colony sim and grand strategy genres by introducing exciting MMO elements. This is being done to ensure a revenue stream for the studio that will enable us to complete Chronicles of Elyria without having to return to rewards-based crowdfunding. Kingdoms of Elyria, while still a tool for validating CoE's domain, settlement, and land management mechanics, and being freely available to all existing CoE backers, is also being released as a standalone title. Beginning in 2017, KoE was retroactively added to the list of backer rewards available to anyone with an Elyrian Pledge Package or higher. Kingdoms of Elyria, dating all the way back to 2016, has been advertised as a standalone user experience intended to test and validate the domain, settlement, and land management mechanics of Chronicles of Elyria. This allows us to focus on key areas that proved most engaging to our current backers, to ensure we've completed design decisions on some of the most unique selling points of CoE, and to spend our time moving the needle forward on CoE's development in a way that aligns best with our resources. We've switched our milestone priority to focus on Domain, Settlement, & Land Management first, and are returning to adventuring mechanics afterwards. Currently there's 5 people on the project including myself as our sole engineer, our former Lead Designer (known as Snipehunter), our former Lead Technical Artist (known as Irreverent), our former Sound Engineer, and our former composer. The Game PlanĬoE development is moving forward quickly and consistently with a core team. We’ve covered a lot over the course of our Inside Chronicles of Elyria series, and just in case there remains any confusion for those who haven't been able to keep pace with our updates, we briefly wanted to start this retrospective by reiterating where we are in terms of development, and how we're moving forward toward the eventual release of Chronicles of Elyria. Welcome to our first milestone retrospective! These are intended as a look back at our previous milestone, and in the interest of transparency, talk in greater depth about the things that worked, the lessons learned from the things that didn't work, and the always important small victories.
