Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“RuneEra’s core progression is playable from beginning to end, but we want player feedback to help shape its final form.
Early Access will allow us to improve the user interface, balance, progression and quality of life while expanding the game with additional rune-based classes and content.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We currently expect RuneEra to remain in Early Access for approximately twelve months. This is an estimate rather than a fixed promise, as development priorities may change in response to technical needs and player feedback.”

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

“We plan to introduce two additional rune-based class archetypes, the Necromancer and the Bard, along with supporting abilities.
We also plan to improve the user interface, quality of life, balancing, performance and areas of the game where player feedback identifies missing or repetitive content.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“RuneEra is playable from beginning to end and includes its core settlement management, production, farming, husbandry, rune customization, party combat, caravans, procedural world exploration, factions, events, quests and dungeons. Development will continue to focus on refinement, balancing, additional content and the two planned class archetypes.”

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

“We expect the price to increase when RuneEra leaves Early Access to reflect the additional classes, content and polish added during development. Any planned change will be communicated in advance.”

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

“We will gather feedback through Steam Discussions, reports and player experiences. Feedback will help us identify interface friction, balance problems, performance issues and parts of the progression that would benefit from additional content. Major updates and development priorities will be communicated through Steam announcements.”

About This Game

Build a home. Master the runes. Explore dungeons.

RuneEra is a fantasy colony-management RPG where you establish a guild settlement, shape its members through powerful runes, and send parties into a procedurally generated world.

Automate work and production, balance the needs of your growing guild, gather mana, and take command when events, quests and dungeon expeditions become dangerous.

Build a Living Settlement

Transform the wilderness into a self-sufficient home. Gather resources, construct specialized rooms, organize storage, and establish production chains for food, equipment and medicine.

Grow seasonal crops, ensure they are watered and fertilized, for good harvest. Tame wild animals, manage breeding populations, and maintain reliable supplies for both your settlement and traveling caravans.

Manage Your Guild

Every guild member has different skills, job preferences, equipment, and personal needs. Assign work priorities and daily schedules while ensuring your people remain fed, rested, equipped, and ready for danger.

Create shared inventory and equipment rules to automate routine management as your guild expands. When careful coordination is required, recruit members into groups and issue direct movement, combat and ability commands.

Shape Your Party with Runes

Discover runes by completing quests and exploring dungeons. Equip removable abilities and passive effects to create specialized tanks, healers, damage dealers, workers, and crafters.

Experiment with different combinations and adapt your guild to the challenges ahead without permanently locking characters into a single role.

Harness Mana and Essence

Mana powers your abilities, magical structures, and searches for distant opportunities. Construct pylons across your territory, extract biome-specific essence, and research technologies that expand your magical capabilities.

Where you build matters: different areas offer different resources, essence types and dangers.

Explore a Procedural World

Form caravans from guild members and tamed animals, then journey across varied biomes in search of resources, quests, faction settlements, and dungeons. Pack animals provide additional storage and help expeditions travel farther.

Explore dangerous locations, confront powerful enemies, recover valuable runes, and claim new territory for additional settlements.

Deal with Other Factions

Independent factions inhabit the world alongside you. Trade with them, complete quests, rescue their people, or make them your enemies.

Maintain strong relationships to request traders and reinforcements or accept the consequences when diplomacy breaks down.

Build a guild capable of surviving the RuneEra and eventually conquering it.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with portions of selected sprite artwork and to create some sound effects and background music. All AI-assisted content was generated before release, reviewed and curated by the developer, and edited or integrated into the final game as appropriate. RuneEra does not use AI to generate content while the game is running.
