    Thanks! Yes, I'm working alone. This is very personal project:)

    The game will get modding support, so you could make it African or Asian :)

    The game looks very interesting :) Reminds me a bit of Banished.

    "You will need to influence your city by means of setting prices, taxes and various policies." Could you tell us more? What policies in particular?

    How did I just discover this? Oh, it just made it to the front page. Anyway, this game looks pretty cool. I just have a few questions

    1. Can you explain a little bit more about the roads? From what I read, it looks like some will naturally appear, but something about reasonable placement... I'm confused. What does that mean?

    2. In some of your earlier development pictures, a building or two looked like a church. Is there going to be a stronger emphasis on religion in this game, or at least some ploppable churches? It would fit that era.

    I had about six other questions, but not only did I have a brain fart, but I have to go now. Any way, this game looks really fun, and a way to change things up a little bit. Good luck with development! It looks more like a team effort, not indie, so nice going.

    I won't lie, there's no stone-carved concept about that, but I'm moving in the direction of player making decisions about what kind of activity is allowed to citizens, like can they sell a particular product on market and at which price, can they export it to other towns, can a foreign trader sell goods to them. It highly depends on which types of activity I'll implement and I'm open to suggestions.

    I mean that when people walk, they leave tracks. And they walk just by shortest path. Meanwhile you can build paved roads, but mind the "desire paths" problem: Desire path - Wikipedia


    Yes, there will be churches and I hope I can make them more than just a decoration.

    I will like that you add american building style too.

    Maybe that you can do modern buildings or monuments. as DLC

    Do you will try to work on this ?
