Gone Bonking is now There Goes the Kingdom
A new name, a new address, a new look and a campaign with an ending.
The game has a new name: There Goes the Kingdom. It started as one castle and a horde that never stopped. It's now a campaign about getting a kingdom back, and the old name didn't cover it. The site has moved to theregoesthekingdom.com; old gonebonking.com links bring you here.
The look has changed most. The blocky voxel world is gone. The Forsaken Keep and the Cinder Reach have been rebuilt as smooth, hand-modelled places, and the heroes and the keep's monsters have new bodies to match. The screenshots and trailer on this site are from before that work, so the game you download looks quite different. New pictures are on the way.
The campaign now has five levels. Chapter 1 is the Keep, the Cinder Reach and the Return, where the dragon that's been setting fire to everything turns out to matter. How you treat the chargestones that seal the castle decides how you come home. The Drowned Parish, a frozen village and the sky follow.
The Keep itself plays differently: a dome over the castle is fed by great chargestones in the camps around it, and you can break them at the surface or find their roots in the quarry tunnels underneath. The level is one authored map now, so you learn its roads.
The collector cards have a home, the Chronicle, and the game runs on Android phones with touch controls. The Android version is in testing on Google Play: free, with optional rewarded ads and an optional pack of three collector cards. The privacy policy has been rewritten to cover all of that.
