Now that the Manor Lords Steam Early Access period is underway, we're already looking at one of our first potential changes thanks to player feedback. It's going to be a long road to the full launch for studio Slavic Magic, but one feature is already under the microscope: global trade and market supply.

If you're seeing all the hype for Manor Lords, but can't pick it up right now, don't worry - the game's devs have assured everyone that it'll run frequent discounts.
Manor Lords is having a bit of a moment. Earlier this week developer Hooded Horse had to write a Steam post noting that the store is so overwhelmed from "all the people buying, it may take a couple tries for a bit while things calm down." It also went as high as fifth place on Steam's top 100 most played games list, currently sitting in sixth place at the time of writing. Josh even called it 2024's must-play strategy game, even in early access, so I wouldn't blame you if you're dying to play it. Of course, at its launch discount of £26, that isn't feasible for everyone right this second.
Thankfully, though, it seems like there are plenty more discounts planned for the game's future. In a news post, CEO Tim Bender noted the team's appreciation for everyone's support so far, but also said that he doesn't want anyone to "feel any pressure to buy the game if waiting is better for you. If money is tight right now or you're still uncertain, we'll run those 25% discounts often and give you plenty of opportunities to get the game later as well, no one should feel any fear of missing out or any kind of pressure.

The most wishlisted game on Steam has just arrived, and Manor Lords already looks to be satisfying those hopeful players. Soaring up the Valve charts for both sales and player count, Slavic Magic's medieval city building and strategy game already boasts a 'very positive' 91% rating from almost 7,000 reviews in its first day. Tim Bender, CEO of the game's publisher Hooded Horse, thanks players for their overwhelming support and tells prospective buyers not to feel pressured to jump in immediately if early access isn't right for you.

Releasing a game can be nerve-wracking and not only for the developer. Fans will fall in love with the promise of it, adding it to their Steam wishlists, and then when the game finally launches potential players hold their breath to see if their dreams are realized. In the case of Manor Lords, it seems the dial has definitely turned towards the positive side as it's zoomed up the bestseller charts and hit huge peak player counts, all while earning a positive review rating.
