We are happy to announce our collaboration with the publisher 1C Entertainment to bring Lords and Villeins to PC this Spring via Steam Early Access!
Rest assured nothing from our promised plans changes by this! We remain independent in our creative efforts and the game that you got excited for is not changing. Quite the opposite! Thanks to the support from 1C, we will be able to deliver Lords & Villeins on a level of quality we could not think of before!
Last year we have promised Early Acces to be released in October. As you have probably noticed, we did got there. So what happened?
Joining forces with 1C has opened an opportunity for us - we could take more time, polish the game and add more features to make it more interesting for our players when we finally launch.
We simply did not want to disappoint our players. We did not put the project aside. The opposite is true! We have been working harder than ever and have done really amazing progress!
We are not ready to announce any specific date yet, but we are aiming for an Early Access release in the Spring of this year.
After almost three years of solo development, I was finally able to grow the team. We can focus on the project fully and even more so - the game can be much better! Christian Markowicz, a good friend and amazing programmer I met at Spelkollektivet in Sweden (a really cool coliving and coworking space for game devs!), Andrea Florez Perez, a talented artist (check out her work it's incredible), or Adam Bow, a talented composer from New Zealand.
We have been able to work together for several months already and pushed the game to a new level! See for yourself in this brand new teaser, we have prepared together with 1C:
Of course, this all would not be possible without the support of you, our players. Thousands of you engaged with us on social media, played the demo of our game, and expressed interest in our work. From the bottom of our hearts, we are sincerely grateful!
Thank you for your support! We are very happy about this change and we can't wait to bring Lords & Villeins to you!
