Hi everyone,
For the past months since the Early Access release we have been trying to secure funding for the full development of the game. We launched the game early to get feedback from you players to be able to incorporate it and develop the game together with our community. However, for most publishers the early launch turned out to be a problem and they saw the development of the game as too risky since the game was already released. For this reason we were unable to get the team funded for a full launch. This means that we will have to shut down development as we are unable to pay the team.

This has been awfully disappointing for us. The last months have been quite difficult and we tried all we could to be able to make our dream game. By now we realize that the chances of this happening are diminishingly low.

We understand if this is frustrating and disappointing to you. Unfortunately, this is always a risk when doing Early Access development. We hope you still had fun with the game so far and I'm sorry that we will not be able to make it the great game we envisioned.

For the immediate future, development of Kingdom Builders has been halted and we will ask Steam to take down the game to avoid further people buying it while it is not being actively worked on anymore.
