What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We love considering and implementing ideas from players, and we will use Early Access to both expand and improve the game. Early Access provides a great way of involving players in the development process, and we are looking forward to working with the community to make a better game together.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We expect the game to remain in Early Access for approximately two quarters (around 6 months). This is an estimate, and development may extend if additional features or polish are needed to deliver the best possible experience. We prioritize quality and meaningful improvements over strict deadlines.”

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

“The full version is planned to include a more complete and polished feature set, including expanded utility management systems, diplomacy mechanics, public transit systems, and improved map generation. Additional content and refinements will be guided by player feedback during Early Access. ”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version is playable and actively developing, and currently includes core systems such as city building, resource production, transportation networks, international trade, and policy-based decision making. While these systems are functional, they will continue to be expanded, balanced, and refined throughout the Early Access period.”

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

“We plan to keep the price the same during Early Access. The final price may increase upon or after full release to reflect additional content, expanded systems, and overall improvements. Any price changes will be communicated clearly in advance.”

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

“We love involving the community in development and are active on our Discord. We want to hear all suggestions, bug reports, and player feedback in order to make a better game together.”

About This Game

In NationForge, an economy simulation–strategy game, you are tasked with shaping your nation into a global economic superpower.

Resources such as minerals, water, fertile soil, and trade routes are scattered across a vast, dynamic landscape. Plan cities to extract minerals, grow crops, and manufacture goods to meet citizen needs and fuel economic expansion.

Citizens form the backbone of your nation’s workforce. They live in residential zones and drive your industries, administration, and diplomacy. There are four citizen classes — workers, specialists, administrators, and diplomats — each essential to your nation’s success. Provide essential goods and services to attract new residents, then expand your economy by producing luxury items and advanced materials.

Establish a national logistics network to connect your cities through road, rail, water, and air, enabling efficient resource flow and trade. Build utility grids for electricity, water, and waste disposal to keep your infrastructure running smoothly. Trade with other nations to import missing resources and export surplus goods, strengthening your position in the global market.

Advance your cities and unlock perks to specialize them as mining towns, agricultural hubs, industrial centers, logistics junctions, or urban metropolises. Each city contributes uniquely to your nation’s growth, helping you progress from a humble agricultural country to an advanced industrial and trading power.

Features

  • 🏙️ Plan up to 250 cities across a vast landscape, each performing a unique role in the nation.

  • 🌾 Unlock new regions to expand your territory and access rare resources. 

  • ⚙️ Design industrial layouts to produce manufactured goods efficiently. 

  • 🚉 Connect cities via roads, railways, waterways, and air routes to exchange goods and workforce. 

  • Build national utility grids for power, water, and waste management. 

  • 🤝 Trade internationally — import what you lack and export your nation’s excess. 

  • 🏗️ Develop city perks to unlock new industries, buildings, and specialization paths. 

  • 👨‍💼 Host advanced workforce classes to boost productivity and economic output.
