What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We are a small team of highly motivated developers and want to make sure our vision of a city builder set in the pioneering age of the North American frontier comes to life in the best quality possible.

By involving you as a gamer in the process, we want to make sure, that we hit the spots and craft a game that players will love and play for ages. Developing and refining the game based on your feedback and reactions will be important to us!”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Our plan is to stay in Early Access for about a year. We have lots of ideas on the table, but also want to be as flexible as possible to adjust to your needs. Some features may be completed sooner, while others are more complex and finding the time to accommodate those features in quality will be essential for our design process.”

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

“We see Early Access as a collaborative process, and we are excited to see how your feedback will shape the story of Wild West Pioneers. We know that there is a lot of work to do and for the full version, we are envisioning new production chains, more advanced buildings and structures, new means of transportation, random events and map variety.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“We will launch into Early Access with the feature scope layed out on the store page, this includes a variety of upgradable buildings, multiple biomes, a world map that interconnects multiple settlements, each of which populated with fully simulated settlers. Appoint citizen roles, set up expeditions to scout for new points of interest and make sure to lead your community to prosperity.”

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

“As a token of our appreciation for your contributions during the Early Access, we are offering the game at a lower price compared to the full release. We really value your feedback and dedication to making this become a standout city builder game.”

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

“We will be active on our social media channels and Discord server to keep you updated and process your valuable input. We will also be monitoring the Steam community closely and make sure that even the smallest bits of feedback get considered during the development process.

We will also create devlogs and provide you with insights on our decisions. We can hardly wait to start this journey with you, and we are looking to pay back the trust you placed in us by being open minded, communicative and as helpful as we can be.”

About This Game

They say the West is full of gold, hope, and vengeance. Most who follow the trail are chasing one of them. Most don’t find any! Will you?

Wild West Pioneers is a city-builder where every sunset brings a new adventure. From timber to gold, from makeshift homes to bustling towns, you have to manage production and care for your people. Follow a story full of dangers while exploring the unforgiving frontier. Giddyup, Partner!

Going West

As the leader of a group of pioneers, you are responsible for guiding your people as you expand into the untamed Wild West. Find the perfect places to establish new settlements and turn them into a home for you and your settlers.

  • Build settlements across distinct frontier lands, each with its own resources and challenges. Explore the wilderness and claim new territories.

  • Raise a Town Hall, lay down roads, build homes, keep the Saloon well supplied and watch daily life unfold across your growing frontier town.

  • Create and expand production chains for food, building materials, tools, luxury goods, and more. Turn raw materials and resources into increasingly advanced products.

  • Keep your settlers happy and give them a reason to stay. After all, you don’t want them packing their bags and going back to live somewhere else, do you?

    Life's Adventure

Everyone has a reason to head west: debt, heartbreak, hope, or... gold fever. But why did your father never come back? Beneath the struggle to build new settlements lies a personal journey to find him and keep the promise you made.

  • Put on your cowboy boots, and head into the frontier with the people who followed you west. Learn their stories, worries, hopes, and dreams, as their lives become part of yours.

  • Your choices have consequences. Surviving the frontier takes courage and guile, and every decision can shape your relationships and settlements.

  • Experience the story through fully voice-acted dialogue performed by real actors. Hear the fear, anger, hope, and excitement behind the people who chose to follow you.

    Exploring the Frontier

The West is called Wild for a reason. The frontier you're about to explore is full of surprises, adventures and opportunities just waiting to be seized. Send your Scouts to discover new locations that you can explore, and chart your course westward!

  • Will you find hidden treasures, strangers asking for help, a merchant from whom you can buy resources? You won’t know until you set out!

  • Discover new locations and step into beautiful scenes where you can interact with the environment or meet the people who wandered there.

  • Find new places to settle and keep your expansion moving. Travel the world to discover where your pioneers can set up their next camp.

    City full of Life

Settlers come west in search of a better life. Food and shelter may be enough at first, but a thriving town needs more. Keep your people satisfied, earn their trust, and they may help turn your settlement into a true jewel of the Frontier.

  • Watch your pioneers go about their daily lives, use the spaces you create, and bring every corner of the settlement to life.

  • Shape the town your way. Build roads and place buildings freely. Create the settlement to match your vision of the Frontier!

  • Decorations add more than just charm. Fulfill your settlers’ wishes with benches, pets, instruments and other personal touches to make them feel truly at home.

    Your own Journey

The journey through the Frontier is yours to shape. There’s always something worth pursuing. Choose which goals to follow, decide how to spend your rewards, and grow the town in the way that feels right.

  • Take on Journey quests and use the experience you earn to unlock new buildings that shape your settlement’s growth.

  • Set your own pace. The game adapts to your playstyle, rewarding progress toward personal goals without forcing you to follow the main storyline.

  • Experiment with different specializations to find new ways to respond to settlements' needs.

A note from the developer:
Wild West Pioneers is being handcrafted with love by a small team of developers and artists who care deeply about the game. We’ve listened closely to your feedback and made some important changes along the way, including replacing all AI-generated assets with work created by our artists and re-recording the voice-over with real actors.
We want to keep making the game better, so please talk to us, share your thoughts, and tell us what works and what doesn’t. Join us on Discord, be part of the journey, and let’s have a blast shaping the Frontier together.
Saddle up, Partner. We’re only getting started.
