Paizo and SmiteWorks sign an agreement for official Pathfinder support!

When can we expect Kingmaker Vol. 4 to be released? I was hoping for monthly updates.

Unfortunately, we are coordinating between Paizo, and the developer assigned to those conversions and this may take some time to get out. We are also prioritizing newer Paizo products over older products. Rest assured that we will eventually get this one converted.

So you are releasing half an adventure path and then are delaying the remaining three, in order to get newer products out first? That seems like a very customer-unfriendly decision, given that you stated in this thread that releases would come on a monthly basis. Leaving an adventure path unfinished in the middle is not conducive to play and will make me think twice to invest into other adventure paths, lest they suffer the same fate.

The monthly basis statement covers all Paizo products. Rest assured we will get Kingmaker 4 out in a timely manner, it may take longer than a month though.

Hi GenesisX, Lokiare was waiting for an update from me so I apologize if there was a misunderstanding on this. I should have jumped on the status update sooner but I was developing.

While Kingmaker is not my only development project, I am very much interested in seeing it through. I am targeting having all 3 Kingmaker modules completed within the next 4 months (a little outside the boundary of a monthly update, but close). Kingmaker 4 is in development and will be released later this month.

I will further clarify. The one module per month release schedule for APs is our target and we can hopefully get multiple APs out and going with this schedule simultaneously. We just launched at the beginning of May, however, and instead of holding Kingmaker 2 and 3 for release in subsequent months, we went ahead and released those all together since we already had those done. Originally we were planning on rolling them out in consecutive months and that would have meant Kingmaker 2 released yesterday, Kingmaker 3 next month, etc. As we get better at this, we will likely move to a more public release schedule so everyone can see and plan accordingly. We just are not quite there yet.

Some of our reluctance to make a public release schedule is that not all of our devs can produce at the same rate. Sciencephile is one of the faster devs we have at the moment and he is working on several of them. We hope to get more devs producing at the same rate so we can get more stuff out sooner.

So clone Sciencephile, problem solved.

[GenesisX]

Thank you for the clarifications. I do enjoy sciencephile's work and having a delay in release schedule is no big thing. I think what got me most was the statement that focus would be on "newer" Pathfinder products, which I believe is great for choosing new APs, as long as the rest gets finished with regular updates.

any updates on curse of the crimson throne?

[Desmodaeus]

I for one am waiting on the bestiaries most of all. I love having a complete collection with all of the art and proper mechanics/info available in FG. Any idea on when we can expect the 2nd one?

Any word on Starfinder support?
