The Prologue of the Great Rewrite is out!
165k words of the actual game
27k of the Relationships tab
5k of the Codex Tab.
In total, the demo has 197k words of content.
Including lines of code, meaning stat descriptions included?
213,184 words.
All full of mostly new content.
It's uh... a really long prologue!
The Prologue will run you from birth to 14 years of age, ending to set us up nicely for the Upbringing Arc, of which you've heard me talk about and will see more information about at the end of the game.
The Relationships and Codex tabs are unlocked near the end of the prologue, so make sure you don't forget to check them out!
Again, as always, thank you so much for your patience and kindness throughout this endeavor. Every single one of you are valued and welcome, and have played a part in this project. <3
Play the demo here, and talk about it here with others!
After this goes live, I begin work on the Upbringing Arc! If you want to keep up with progress, and maybe support me and be a beta tester, join the Patreon!

Is new update out
Nah dude, when it's out you'll know. I'm waiting for it to be about 100k, and we're at 66k
I just played the prologue and really enjoyed it! Absolutely great! I really liked Amina (one of the few ROs we've met to this point) and I was wondering what the political ramifications would be of marrying her. With both her and the MC in line to inherit, how would such a union work? Would each run their respective kingdoms, or would it be more of a merging of the two realms? It's very far down the line, but how would their children inherit? Held together by one in personal union or split between the two eldest? Also how would the Empire feel about its two biggest allies (but also potential rivals) getting together (and potentially cutting them out)?
Thanks man! It depends on the ending path, of which there are three: Hegemony, Empire, and Messiah. Hegemony, they each rule their own Empire, Jelaytha is hers until she passes away and our firstborn inherits both Jelaytha and the Empire thus combining the two Messiah, spoilers
I just finished the prologue of The Great Rewrite, and I have to say — it’s magnificent. The narrative flows smoothly, rich with vivid descriptions, powerful scenes, and an irresistible pull to keep reading. There are so many characters, deep world-building, and a beautifully intricate political dance between the factions. The world breathes and lives by its own rules — it comes alive before your eyes. It’s truly a masterful creation. I already held the original in very high regard, but this takes it to a whole new level. The attention to detail, the dedication, and the love poured into KaE are unmistakable. Thank you — I’m eagerly looking forward to what’s next.
Let's F****** Goooooooooooooooo! Finally! We've been waiting for so long — and at last, your long-awaited creation is here. Thank you — to you, the beta testers, and everyone who supported you. Please, keep going. Don’t stop now!
Omg, the Great Rewrite is finally out! And so, I think I should take this time to issue a formal and sincere apology to you, Flame. I am so sorry I ever doubted you. I will only say in my defence is that I've only in recent years truly gotten into the world/community and behind the scenes of the IF and COG worlds. I would only lightly breeze on the forums and Tumblr pages, but barely more. So I was playing the old demo, and waiting and waiting and waiting for updates, because I knew there were updates since I discovered it. But all I could find where lengths of silence on Tumblr, then an explosion of sudden asks answered, then silence again. The asks talked about stuff, but never did I see any progress in getting to that stage of the story. It frustrated me. And yet, to think, that all this time, you were completely rewriting the story, making it so much better than ever, and pouring your heart and soul into it. I remember the comments I made on the forum and in our private message. I am SO embarrassed about it. But I've seen all the effort you have put in, and I deeply regret acting so bitchy and entitled. I know it doesn't mean much, but I am so sorry, and am so deeply proud of you, Flame! I am excited for Kingdoms and Empires' future, because I can see it is going to be fire!!
Awww thanks!!! Means a lot to read this, so thank you for being kind enough to say this! Put a smile on my face 😊
I've not had the time to read in a while so lfg
Please make this the final version you have rewritten this story so many times😭😂
It is lol, i finally fixed everything I needed to; which i hope you'll understand why once you play it since it sets everything up for the future quite nicely now ;D
🥳
