A frontier settlement at dusk beneath desert mesas.
In development for Steam · Working title

A western
settlement builder.

Settlement sim American frontier PC · Steam

Build a town out on the frontier and keep it alive. Lumber, water, money, and people who expect to get paid — it all has to balance, and it usually doesn't want to.

The game

The idea.

01 — SETTLE

Pick your ground

Choose where the town goes and lay it out yourself, building by building, road by road.

02 — RUN IT

Keep it working

Shops need stock, workers need wages, and the books have to balance at the end of the month.

03 — HOLD ON

Get through the bad years

Dry seasons, debts, and plain bad luck will test whatever you've built.

Questions

Common questions.

When is it coming out?

When it's done. I'm not going to rush a bad version of this out the door. Real milestones go to the newsletter.

Will there be Early Access?

Maybe. If the town-building core is fun enough on its own, it's an option. It won't be a way to fund an unfinished idea.

Anything beyond PC?

PC first. After that, it depends on how launch goes.

Can I playtest?

Playtest invites will go out through the newsletter when the time comes.
