Just leaving this here because you don't have a contact email. Just wanted to say I have been a big fan of death crown for years and still check in every six months, looking forward to whatever you guys do next!
Thank you very much! Messages like this really encourage us. At the very least, it makes you remember Death Crown once a year, but overall, we haven't lost hope of surprising you with a new game again :)
There's another bug that has severely affected the gameplay exeprience, When I selected a different background color and play the undead campaign, finishing the tutorial level and move on to the map selection screen, the mouse UI is gone, I can't see the skeleton hand mouse at all, so I can't select anything in the map. I can't even press Esc to quit to main menu, I was dead locked in the map selection screen.
I can't fully enjoy the game, it quite unfortunate really, since the different background color looked so cool in the campaigns.
Perhaps it has something to do with the skeleton hand mouse thingy? It failed to appear on map selection screen in other background color.
Thank you for buying our game. Sorry for the unpleasantness. I saw in the logs that you did not pick up the key for some reason—I sent you an additional key to your e-mail.
I have won without fighting all in this level, is this normal? Its supposed to be 5 skulls boss fight featuring the big mouth on the ground thingy right?
All I did is directing the citadel's army to the big mouth, suddenly, the big mouth reacted, moves a bit, then exploded.... My army didn't even summoned from the citadel even once....
This is a serious bug, since the level isn't playable, if the player wins without fighting at all.
Hello! Yes, it does look like a bug, there should be an interesting boss fight. We will try to fix the bug as soon as possible. Thanks for letting us know! Sorry about that.
When I defeated the enemy, the victory screen pops out too quickly, I couldn't enjoy the animation of the enemy base collapsing.
Can you please delay the victory screen for at least 6 seconds, so that players can enjoy the animation of enemy base collapsing? Or even better, give players a option to close the victory screen for a while so that player can analyze the map a little?
Hey! Unfortunately, we don't have the resources to do something like that, and the interest around the game has long since waned I believe. Maybe someday we'll do a special edition, but I wouldn't count on it, alas.
We made a few physical copies before the release especially for one offline event, it looked like this :)
oh that is so f*cking cool. i remember when it came out, i was in the discord of both super rare and premium edition games and heavily advocated for this to be a physical.
Hello! If you have purchased a copy of the game, clicking the "Download" button at the top of the screen will open a pop-up window where you can download two versions of the game + soundtrack and request a steam code there as well. If it's not there, please attach a screenshot, it's very strange, I will then contact someone from site support.
Okay, that's weird, sorry! Just dropped you an email with the Steam key you were missing. Check your inbox (and maybe the spam folder just in case). Happy gaming!
Just bought the game on the Humble Store, and the DRM-free build I downloaded from there is called "Death_Crown_0.11.5_x64_itch_io.zip", which seems to be quite outdated compared to the one available here (v1.1.17).
Could you please update the downloadable build on Humble?
dang, did not see the fine print about the soundtrack... i already own this on ps5, that's literally the only reason i bought it here. is there anywhere else to grab the soundtrack?
Originally just downloaded this game for the art style, but ended up falling in love with the story and gameplay, it looks simple but very quickly becomes a real challenge that requires you to think and react quickly
I could but easy mode feels like cheating, and you don't get the same level of accomplishment when you eventually win since you don't feel like you earned it. Love the game though, and your art style is truly amazing.
In the beginning I thought so, too, so for a long time opposed the idea of Easy Mode. But over time I came to the conclusion that the game is quite hard, not only because of its mechanics, but also because of its visual style, and we also have a pretty random AI, as well as a few hints, which we explain quite superficially (eg, about difficult ways and demolition of their own buildings). Many people play badly in RTS, just because they have never played them. All this has led me to believe that Easy Mode is not shameful and that many people really need it :)

I didn't get a steam key with purchase. I'm wondering if what's causing this is on sale buys. I'm not sure if that's a helpful thought or not?
I'm sorry, I don't know why this happens :(
I e-mailed the key to you.

Hi!
I just purchased the itch.io version of the game and it says it comes with a Steam key but I can't find it anywhere.
I tried to follow this guide but onmy downloads page there are only the x86 and x64 versions of the game. Where should I get the key?
Thanks!

wow, nice graphics
Doesn't look like my kinda game, but I had to drop in and say the visuals look absolutely stunning.
Imagine the cursor hands slapping each other away on local multiplayer :D

Oh yes, thank you, we will update! Sorry!
No problem. Just downloaded the new build, thanks!
If I buy it here, will I get the dlc too?
No, sorry, the DLC is sold separately, on itch.io you can buy it as a standalone game.

dang, did not see the fine print about the soundtrack... i already own this on ps5, that's literally the only reason i bought it here. is there anywhere else to grab the soundtrack?
you can pay a little extra on itch.io, you can also buy on Steam or listen on youtube :)
I don't normally play RTS games but this was great
Is it just me or the "practice mode" is the hardest thing?
Any chance it's possible to go into nightmode and swap the white/black?
Yes, you can change the color scheme in the settings menu.
Awesome, gonna give it a look.

This is great, thank you! I hope you can still win the cube! In any case you can turn on the easy mode that we added recently.
I could but easy mode feels like cheating, and you don't get the same level of accomplishment when you eventually win since you don't feel like you earned it. Love the game though, and your art style is truly amazing.

That's fair enough.
well Said
Wonderful game very simplistic and i love it https://youtu.be/Wt_3puSyY7Q
Oh, it's cool, great video!! Thank you!
No problem at all very good work on the game
A beautiful, dark, minimalist RTS. Easy to pick up. Impossible to put down. Simply electrifying.
Молодцы братишки! Так держать!
Great!
Wow this game is crazy good. I would love to see more games with this tone and style.
I would buy another game made by this developer, even if it didn't share the tone and style.
