Almost all the text above was copied from the site and the Steam page. The game is honestly really fun, I've helped develop it (a tiny bit) and tested it (a lot). The game is not currently released, it's on Steam Greenlight. You can vote for it here: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=331371486

So guys, any thoughts?

P.S. If you sign up on the forums, make sure you set me as your referrer ( "Honor" ).

This sounds awesome. Is it exclusively medieval though?

The current content (if I remember correctly) is all medieval, though I'm not sure what the lead programmer has in store for the future.

still seems fun. i'll check it out

Seems to have quite some potential IMO.
Reminds me a lot of Haven and Hearth, just because of how it seems like it will be a world where you can build your own village and stuff.
And that isn't a bad thing, i like that.

Funny you should say that. The two main developers are Haven and Hearth players. I myself also played Haven and Hearth, great game - though tiring.

thought it was car game
:c

[lordician]

Haha, that is a great coincidence.
May i ask what you exactly helped with in the development by the way?

[Honorabl3]

I helped by programming a couple C++ code snippets. I didn't appear on the credits page because compared to my efforts, the main programmer outweighs me any day. He works on the game from hours on end, it truly amazes me. If he continues this rate he's going to go insane, I'm not joking. If you didn't catch it before, I have my testimonial of the game on the Steam page.

Been looking for something like this, any way to play it soon?
Are there any other games like this you would recommend other than haven and hearth? I really love the build your own city aspect.

If you are not shy of some grinding, i think Life is Feudal has it to some respect.

Linking to one of his latest tweets he has a early testing phase that you have a chance of entering. More information is in the twitter link.

I like the look of this as well, will be sure to play it if/when I can, it certainly sounds fun.
