What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“City Tales: Medieval Era is a project made by a small team and we are passionate about building a community and including their feedback over the course of development. We have many new ideas to include, and we want to ensure they are implemented in a way that is meaningful to our players, we believe that early access provides the best environment for this to happen.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We are aiming for a year in early access but we have plans to gather feedback from players to decide on a more definitive timeframe. It's important to us to provide a full and polished product, that both delivers on our promised vision and the enjoyment of early access players.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“For now, we aim for:
- The localization in other languages (French, Spanish, German etc).
- Full implementation of the "Marvels" system, a high stake, high rewards type of building that will require good management and planning from the player.
- Full storyline of each companions and their end quest.
- 14 fully fledged companions.
- New resources, new buildings and new production lines
- Higher upgrade tiers for houses, which will allow you to offer luxurious homes to your citizens
- Improvement of the Influence area system
- More impacting choices through narration.
- More mid and late-game mechanics : a proper Castle and wall system and so on...”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“We currently have:
- A solid economy and an organic building system already allowing you to create a beautiful medieval city filled with life, with 47 types of buildings and 29 resources at your disposal
- Base game mechanics like buildings upgrade, influence areas and production lines up to tier 4
- Story-arcs of the first Companions.
- Stable early games mechanics.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We plan to only slightly increase the price between early access and full release, according to the increase of content and features.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“It's very important for us to identify missing functionality, issues and sentiment toward a feature via early access players feedback as we are still in development. This way, we can create a game that will tell our collective story.
We aim to listen closely to our growing community while working and delivering what we have planned so we can iterate and improve, shaping the game together so our vision align with our community.”

About This Game

Shape a fertile landscape from humble camps into a thriving medieval realm, brimming over with life and filled with hope.

A keen ear and wise decisions are essential to building a prosperous kingdom. Become the leader your people need, shaping their districts and providing them with the means to thrive. But fret not, my Liege—you aren't on your own. Skilled companions will stand by your side, their fates entwined with your City Tales.

Multiple maps to choose from: Start your new realm in one of the two beautiful locations available.
Organic cities: Forsake rigid grids and shape cities that grow naturally over time.

Swift, strategic economy: Balance resources and citizens' needs to nurture your city's prosperity.
A relaxing pace with challenges: Enjoy rewarding gameplay in a beautiful medieval world, where challenges emerge naturally as your city evolves.
4. A Leader of the people: With companions whose skills develop under your guidance, build a city shaped by the needs and desires of its people.

Natural growth, organic path

Break free from chains of rigid design—craft living, breathing settlements with a unique district drafting tool. Your villagers' frequent pathways will carve organic, winding roads and shape an ever-evolving landscape of your city and farmlands.

The walks of life

Every district's needs and desires are shaped by its residents. Some of them will flock to the tavern, while others prefer the peace and quiet of a church. But in the end, each area will evolve based on your choices.

A Swift and Impactful Economy

Guide the pulse of a thriving economy. Manage resources wisely and make swift, strategic decisions to lay the foundation for your city that rises like a beacon of medieval progress.

With a variety of decorations, truly make this city your own by customizing your buildings and streets. Show off your prosperity!

Advisors by your side

Companions of wit and skill bring strength and knowledge to both your city's economy and story. Place them in charge of key production and watch them grow into their roles, unlocking bonuses for buildings and training future helpers to take their place.

Companions fates

With 9 dear companions, each one of them will have their own problems and missions for you. Help them and intertwine their fates with your own, bringing even more depth to your city and it's people.

A canvas full of tales

City Tales is graced with a gentle atmosphere and hand-painted vibrancy. It breathes warmth and wonder into every stone and timber. Discover how you'd like to flow with this land and paint your own story.
