"King Pins is a small scale Real-Time Strategy. 

It was inspired by Age of Empires, which is one of my own favorite games!
I wanted to make such a game that you could play with controllers against your friends locally, however I also made a whole campaign and AI with different difficulties. So there is plenty of game to be played even when you're playing solo!"

We already played it a bunch ourselves. Ruben beat me every time the last couple of matches though!  We are actually going on a small vacation soon where we want to play some local multiplayer games together. We decided each one of us would make a game before then.
So this is the first one!

I hope you will enjoy the game as much as we do :)"

I hope your vacation is a great journey! Congrats on finishing this game, solo gameplay + multiplayer? I'm stoked

Signed up to try this. Whenever it ends, when switching tabs, and randomly during games it completely freezes my computer and I have to hard reboot. Gameplay is sweet, although I find most of the game is waiting to have enough wood to do anything and a speed up button to play at 2-3 speed would be ace. AI is truly terrible in versus.

What do you mean with “switching tabs”? Also have you tried playing against unfair difficulty AI after completing the campaign? I wonder if that’s too easy as well!

Alt + Tab, or any attempt to leave the game, or the game crashing results in full computer freeze

I actually just found a crash and was able to fix it (for windows for now) maybe that will help?

I'll try later. Kind of put off by not wanting to go through more crashes. Also it's difficult to unlock new difficulty if the game crashes frequently and each time takes your computer down which spends time trying to fix your hdd afterwards. Tried playing local 2p without finishing the campaign and not impressed that difficulty levels are unlockable tbf

I have yet to try it in multiplayer, but it was cool. As someone else said, a speed setting would be a nice addition ... though maybe it would be too fast then to control effectively your units in combat? I'm not sure One annoying thing I've noticed, which I'm not sure if it's on purpose or not, is that when I told my king to go sit in a corner (because enemy units were attacking), he came back on its own to store the wood he was holding I don't know if it's new or not because I usually play with a keyboard but I liked that it automatically paused the game when my controller randomly died

I installed via steam and no more crashes! Yay, was fun but slow. Finished game and tried unfair AI. Build 3 creepy crawlers, they spawned and ran down to kill the king. Still no challenge!

Tons of fun! Had a great time playing the versus mode with my family. Awesome work! Was wondering if there is any way to make it not framerate dependent (playing on my 30hz monitor causes the game to go at half speed)

Hello Sokpop. I bought this on Steam before finding out there was a Patreon to support the devs but I too have had a crash 30 minutes into my first play similar to what Benjamin's issue. I'm not sure if it's because I tabbed out to sign up to your Patreon or if it was the Xbox recording software.

Sorry to hear that! Do you have a screenshot of the error?
