Appreciate your hard work on getting this out in the holiday season! I plan to play at launch exclusively on the Steam Deck, so appreciate any and all work on making that possible.

Keep up the great work!

Thanks for supporting Linux:

When will the EA version get the update?

Wait I dont understand, why is in the patch notes that a tax office will have more slots in the demo? I thought it wasnt possible to actually promote pops in the demo and tax people are commoners? Did I do something wrong? I love this game very much and I gotta say the full release will be awesome. Im super happy how the game turned out and im ready to put in another 500 hours :)

You can hire any rank villager as a tax collector in the demo, they are just less efficient at the job if they are lower than the required rank.

In my experience, I can hire serfs as tax collectors but I don't think they are actually collecting tax as the tax within houses keeps building. Never played before so I'm not sure the intended design.

Have you actually set a taxation amount in the book's taxation page?

Check your light fortification overlay too, is it fully purple around your Tax Office sub-building or is it checkered purple? If the latter then that means that your light fortification is not fully constructed yet and as such not provided for them to start working

Is there any setting known for causing crashing that i should disable?

Thanks! Turns out I had not build the fortification requirement.

Hopefully they optimize the game by launch. The demo is running 20fps on my 1070ti. Not a new GPU by any means, but should be fine per the game requirements.

Thank you so much for this demo, it is sooo pretty ! Love the art design update, a bit laggy for my pc but I'm playing with an old thing haha Do you know if perfomance issues will be adressed in the future though ?
Thx again for all the hard work ! First hour fan ;)

I have weird pathfindings with my little ones and some other visual glitches causing houses being partially build inside hills or cliffs.

Overall, i really enjoy the new build and awaiting 1.0 eagerly. <3

How about farms can mark only as much land as they can handle....... I am tired of manually fixing he amount of land assighned to a farm so that it dosent stay empty.
