Hi everyone and welcome to Devlog #18!
We would first like to say a big (belated) welcome to 2024! This year the game marked its 5th year in Early Access and we have come a long way in those 5 years. There have been big changes to the game and we are powering through the final stretch to the full release of Foundation!
What we are working on right now
What are we working on is always the question we like to answer. The answer to this is nearly everything! The main theme of course is getting the game and all the planned content complete and ready for the full release and end of Early Access.
Some of the things we are currently working on include:
- Map Edges - time to remove those hard-on-the-eyes map edges
- The Castle - We know this is the one you are all waiting for!
- Walls and fortifications - Walls will have a cost to build like everything else but will also be part of the wider gameplay mechanics
- Military gameplay improvements - Tied into the walls and fortifications, several changes are being worked on, such as setting patrols and creating “companies”
- The whole art direction - including fully overhauled buildings as well as major environmental improvements
- Monument Design Experience - Adding capabilities such as the ability to replace parts and move an entire monument, as well as a full user interface revamp
Oh! And of course Housing and Residential improvements and changes. A lot of work is going on to get the Housing visuals where we want them to be, as well as bring in the 3rd tier high-density residential. The biggest factor is having the housing look authentically medieval within our style setting but ultimately give housing that wow factor!
Residential concept art:
Due to the work-in-progress state of current development, we aren’t quite ready to show too much of what we have been working on, partly to not spoil a bigger reveal announcement but also due to things just not being polished and ready quite yet.
We are aware that you want to hear more and you will soon! Look out for a big announcement coming in the next few months!
Early Access Updates
Some of you may be wondering when the game will receive a new update. As previously announced, the next major update will be the end of Early Access and the Full Release of the game. We do not plan to release any more updates between now and the full release.
With the final development at full steam ahead, the whole team is dedicated to completing the game, polishing the rough edges and presenting to you the Foundation that we imagined and that you want.
We can’t wait to show you the result of all the hard work and share the date of the full release.
