For the Fatherland v1.05 Targets UI Overhaul, Encyclopedia, and a 1991 Timeline Extension

The developer of For the Fatherland: Chronicle of Park Chung-hee has published an update on work in progress toward version 1.05, framing the announcement as a request for player feedback before anything reaches Steam's beta testing channel.

The process is conditional: if the community responds positively to the current UI direction, the developer will complete the design, push it to beta, gather further feedback, and only then fold it into the main update.

What's planned for 1.05

• UI restructure: The internal tab system is being removed. Selecting a function from the left-side UI will now display all relevant information, actions, and numerical adjustments on the right-side UI within a single screen.
• Encyclopedia: A new reference feature covering characters, countries, political parties, terms, historical background, gameplay routes, and other information.
• Bug fixes: Particularly those related to national defense, among other currently reported issues.
• Historical content: Additional material covering the lead-up to May 16 and the period of military rule, with improved historical accuracy.
• Minigames: Important recurring content is to be replaced with unique minigames or dedicated content.
• Global events: The influence of major world events — including the Sino-Soviet split — will expand, affecting national management through dedicated content.
• Additional content: New material spanning the years 1964–1972.
• Timeline extension: The game's timeline is planned to extend to 1991, described as a much larger change — though the source text cuts off before full details are given.

For players, this update represents a significant broadening of both the game's historical scope and its reference tools, though nothing is finalized until community feedback clears the way.
