Hearthlands is a medieval/fantasy city-building real time strategy game in which you take a role of a king in a procedurally generated world. You can not control your subjects directly; instead you focus on city-building, resource management, diplomacy, magic and other things a typical king deals with on a daily basis.
The game is very flexible: you can build a powerful realm and rule the lands with an iron grip, or establish a humble fishermen village. Or create a trading empire. Or found a small, but well-defended outpost or a raider's camp. Or become a host of a wizard's manor.
All characters, from a humble hauler to a powerful wizard have their own minds and behavior patterns. Sometimes it is interesting just to watch people scurry about minding their own business.
Features:
Build a medieval city;
Play the game the way you like it: experiment with sandbox settings or play a campaign mode (ex. Polish localization);
Keep your people happy by providing them with necessary resources and services;
Gather resources, produce goods and build industries;
See reports and tune up your economy;

Challenge yourself by going after one of the many achievements.

Avis des joueurs Steam
Ce jeu est très bon et ce pour de multiples raisons. Je le recommande vivement. Il mérite d'être beaucoup plus connu et évalué. Je n'ai trouvé aucun test/évaluation en français sur internet et c'est regrettable vu la qualité du jeu. Alors du coup, j...
Le jeu vidéo a inventé l'accès anticipé : c'est comme si on payait le prix d'un ciné pour voir la bande-annonce d'un film dont on n'est pas certain qu'il sera filmé jusqu'au bout. Ce jeu n'est pas un chef d'oeuvre, mais ce n'est pas une arnaque antic...
Hearthlands est un jeu de gestion de cités qui ne dévoile sa profondeur qu'au fil du temps des parties.En effet sous des aspects classique il apporte pas mal de petites améliorations qui en font un très bon jeu pour se détendre.Ici comme tjrs vous de...
Jeu de gestion de cité médieval fantastique, dans le style de Lethis path of progress ou des supers jeux "les bâtisseurs" de Sierra comme Empereur ou Pharaon. (un bon départ). Bon didactitiel, bonne prise en main et interface, les graphismes sont bon...
[i]Hearthlands[/i] est un city-builder méconnu qui rappellera des souvenirs aux adeptes des jeux Sierra ([i]Caesar III[/i], [i]Pharaon[/i], [i]Zeus[/i], etc.). Il propose une campagne de 12 missions qui vous tiendra en haleine une trentaine d'heures,...

News, New Games, and a Soundtrack
Hi everyone! Sergio’s here.Finally, I got some good news.I’m releasing not one, but two new games today. One is called Elsewhere. It’s a game inspired by Yogscast’s Jaffa Factory series, and is essentially a throwback to the old Tekkit days. I’ve been working on it since before Hearthlands and in 2018 switched to it almost full time. So, yeah, it took a while.The game turned out to be huge and there are still many things I want to do with it (like adding an ending), so it’s gonna keep being updated for a while.I wouldn’t go as far as to say that things are looking up after 3.5 chaotic years, but at least I can release my games and get paid for it (hopefully enough to survive, since I don’t have anything else going on) – which is new.Also, the Yogscast people loved the game and let me use their stuff in it. Which is something I myself can’t still fully believe.Here it is:If you already own Elsewhere, you should be able to grab a Steam key from Humble if you go to the link that was sent to you when you purchased the game. If you can’t figure it out email me ([email protected]) and I’ll get you the key.A positive review will go a long way. This is a decade worth of work and I’m terrified to set it loose onto a largely unsuspecting audience and just see what happens. First impression is very important and I would very appreciate if you take a minute to write something.Please remember though – this is a work in progress, and I’m not trying to one-up or recreate Minecraft (or Yogventures for that matter). Much like with Hearthlands this is something I always wanted to play, so I had to make it myself. The second game is called YogLabs: Testing Initiative. It’s a free game based on the old-school Yoglabs series. It’s a standalone puzzle/adventure game made in Elsewhere.It’s gonna have at least two episodes (the first one is complete; the second one is about 60% done).I really liked making these adventures, so ideally, I’m planning release new ones from time to time (considering Elsewhere is successful enough to let me do this).YogLabs is voiced by Lewis, Boba, and Duncan, to whom I’m very grateful.Here it is:I know how fans can be highly critical of other fan’s work, so just keep in mind that we all see the things we love from a different perspective and this one is mine. I’m not forcing it on anybody, it’s free, and the Yogs themselves loved it, even though it’s very different from what they’re doing in Yoglabs 2.I’m also releasing my music collection (around October 30th), which combines higher quality tracks from Hearthlands with 20 years’ worth of music from my other games. It comes with a little career retrospective in a pdf.I don’t expect it go platinum:) It was something I did while I was waiting on other things and it was very fun for me to remember and re-record this stuff. Hope you’ll find it interesting too. Here it is:That’s it for now.There are many other things that are in the works from ideas to demos, to 90% completed games that I’m not gonna talk about, because I’m too superstitious:)Hopefully there’s gonna be more stuff to share with you soon. This is my dream that you helped me live, I'm infinitely grateful for it, and I’m not giving up.Thank you all and take care,Sergio
Hearthlands Status Update
I had big plans for this year (2022). First of all the plan was to do some promotions for Hearthlands to see if there's still interest for the game. If there was I would consider making an update or even a DLC. This would require new assets, which isn't cheap, so I wanted to make sure this was worth the investment. Hearthlands has been quite popular, which I'm very thankful for, but I feel it was missed by many people due to a total lack of marketing (which isn't something I'm good at or really interested in). So I was planning to get into that kind of stuff this year. Another plan was to implement sound effects for Elsewhere. This is a long and tedious job, since I estimate the game needs about 600 sound effects. Every sound effect needs to be found, purchased, processed, adjusted, added to the game and tested. I wanted to finally give Elsewhere a wider release and sound effects were an absolute must. As I was in the middle of both, the bad things happened. I don't want to talk about the bad things, they've been talked about enough, just gonna say that at first they put my ability to do what I love in jeopardy and now my very freedom is in danger too. At the moment I'm still able to accept payments, but this may change overnight. As with my freedom - I just have to see what happens. The thing with promotions is simply not possible at the moment, so it has to be postponed. As staying focused and productive became difficult, a few months ago I decided to take a break from implementing countless sound effects and do something new instead. Hopefully that will be released before the end of the year. A silver lining I guess. Sound effects will hopefully be finished by the end of the year too (if of course I'm able to keep working). Though I decided not to wait until they are all done and polished, and release an intermediate update with about half of them implemented. Version 0.2.2 is available now and includes almost all mob and machine sounds plus a bunch of others (roughly half of total) as well as some fixes and improvements. More info on the website: https://elsewheregame.net I didn't do or say anything public since late February, basically hoping it all just going to end soon and I will pretend to myself that nothing happened, so I'm sorry for the silence. Nothing is dead or abandoned, just didn't work out quite as planned. This has been a wild ride. In other news, last year Hearthlands was part of the Jingle Jam by the Yogscast, who I've been a big fan of since the good old SOI days. Check out the VOD here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKbc7h518n8 A couple of months ago one of my favourite city-builder youtubers GamerZakh made a video about Hearthlands! He compares the game to the unreleased Medieval Mayor which was supposed to be the next game in the Caesar/Pharaoh/Zeus/Emperor series. Can confirm that Hearthlands was inspired by the lack of a game like that. Had to do everything myself:) Check out the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8uKNKwPN8A I haven't watched either of the videos, since it would be too nerve racking for me, so I hope they're saying good things about the game. Let's hope it's just good news from now on. Thank you for your support! Stay safe, Sergio
Avis des critiques et joueurs
Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« Hearthlands is a comprehensive strategy game in the Majesty series style, that offers relatively sophisticated micromanagement and original features. Its flaws, such as the absence of a story line, remind you of the modest developmental conditions, but in most cases, you will enjoy it like a good AAA game. »
Avis des Joueurs (Metacritic)
« A caesar III like game. Simple, classic gestion game which get all the basics right. And with lovely graphics ! »
