Why Early Access?

“I wish to release the game in early access to give the community input to shape the final stages of the game's development. I hope to make the game into one of the best city builders.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Unknown won't leave early access until bastide mechanics are deep and well polished.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The game at early access will be slightly rough, buggy and unbalanced. I will use your advice and complaints to improve and create a fun and enjoyable experience for those seeking casual gameplay and those wanting hardcore survival.

Here are a few planned features from the roadmap:
*Fully procedural maps.
*Trading with local villages.
*Pop-up events that require a decision from the player to decide the fate of a peasant
*More buildings and jobs
*Expeditions
*Viking raiders
*War
*Optional fog of war
*Possible terraforming”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current game is a tactical town builder set in medieval times with multiple seasons, day-night cycles, and lots of buildings and jobs to be utilized. Villagers must be kept safe from other villages, bandits, animals, starvation, disease and the cold. You can grow and fortify your town and efficiently place buildings to increase your chance of survival.

Updates are released every week, fixing bugs and adding new content.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The game will be around £15-£20 $18-25 €17-23”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“All advice and complaints will be heard and help shape the game's focus and development. Any issues or feedback are quickly addressed on the Bastide steam discussions page.”
