    [​IMG] Hokay, Nakia is here to tout a game. It is a city (village actually) strategy, adventure game. It is being made by Games Foundry a indie developer. At the moment there isn't much to play but the developers are extremely responsive to the community. Post frequent and updates of progress. It has a Location editor, so players will be able to create maps for themselves and for others to play. I am already addicted to the game.

    The game started as a campaign game but in response to community requests that was changed to sandbox. Unfortunately this meant a restructuring of the game so it is taking longer to develop than originally anticipated. There will be campaign elements with a story and quests. The developers have a good sense of humour. The voice acting is excellent. There is combat and exploring to be done or should I say there will be. You will also be able to play as a kind, caring ruler or as a mean nasty one who basically enslaves his/her people.

    No, it isn't a RPG but it is fun even doing some testing as work progresses. This game is going to be great with few bugs in the release. We who have opted into support this game scrutinize it with eagle eyes. I doubt a microbug could get by. The biggest complaint about the game is that it isn't finished. However I believe it to well worth the wait. I have never seen developers so response to the community or so transparent. It is a small team and they are working hard. The project lead is on the forum daily, several times a day. Response quickly to queries. I have to give myself a little pat on the back as he choose me as the first forum moderator to run some interference for him. Give him a little breathing space and time to do more productive things than to answer the question "When will this game be finished?"

    Question for the staff: What links am I allowed to post? May I put up any screenshots or at least link to them?

    Nakia still a little halfling rogue. (This game isn't Baluurs Gate but it has stolen my heart)

    The game is available on Steam as an Early Access buy.

    I don't believe there are any restrictions on links or screenshots you'd like to post about the game.
