Devlog #1: Welcome to Kingdom Flipper 👑

Welcome to Kingdom Flipper!

Hello! I’m Brass Persimmon, or BP. I’m the solo developer for Kingdom Flipper which is currently in development for PC.

Kingdom Flipper lets you take rundown Medieval-style buildings, clean them up, and turn them into something fabulous for profit. Paint, decorate, repair, and rebuild your way to piles of shiny gold. You can work your way to building your own castle from the ground up!

I’ve spent the last two years working on Kingdom Flipper and I’m thrilled to say I’m ready to open the game up for playtesting.

Of course, this means I’m looking for awesome players to jump in, test features, break things, and provide much-welcomed feedback. Signups are open right now on Steam and the first playtest will take place November 1st through November 5th, with feedback through the official Discord server.

What to Expect from the Playtest

The playtest will be from November 1st - November 5th. After that, Kingdom Flipper won’t be available until the next playtest while I work on improvements and fixes.
