DIRT DEMO – BASE BUILDER FEST

Hey Settlers, 👋
Maybe you have already noticed, something is happening in Kerzoven.
We are participating in the Steam Base Builder Fest!
But before we get to that, thanks to the whole community for playing the Discord Alpha Test
in early December! We were able to gather a massive amount of valuable feedback and improve the current build immensely.

THE DIRT DEMO 💩 Tomorrow Monday at 7pm (CET) the Base Builder Fest starts on
Steam and with it a brand new publicly available demo!
We all know that life as a settler is a filthy business.
So currently everything also revolves around the cleanliness of your villagers,
who now have to deal with a neat dirt simulation.
You can also expect an improved water simulation and weirs.
On top of that, there is a little surprise when you start Kerzoven.

As always, We have summarized what the focus of this demo is in our Discord in the #faq channel. Feedback is still available in #alpha-feedback and if you want to post a video of your playthrough you can do so in #your-videos.

Thank you all and hello to all newcomers, welcome!
Your Kerzoven Team

Circle of Kerzoven is an upcoming settlement builder with lots of simulation

Circle of Kerzoven appears to be one I missed that was pointed out in December last year, as an interesting looking settlement building game that simulates a whole lot of things you need to keep an eye on.

First freely available Alpha Playtest

Welcome to the first freely available playtest of Circle of Kerzoven.

[h3]❓What is waiting to be tested?[/h3]
1. How does the new fence & road building system feel?
2. Does the new save / load mechanic work as intended?
3. Are the new animations with the items good (transporting goods, build things...)?

Our next target is to improve the UI. If you have ideas, feel something is missing or
already good please let us know.

OPEN ALPHA II ENDS



Thank you for the rich feedback!
I could already implement and improve large parts in the meantime :)
Now it's back to the development of new features and content.

This was probably the last Open Alpha. But there will surely be more Closed Alphas on Discord :)

Sunny greetings,
Kerz

OPEN ALPHA



A new alpha test version is available!
Simply download the demo of the game and get started.

There is a wide range of improvements and corrections since the last version. Thank you for your feedback and ideas! :)
I would be interested to hear what you like about the core game and what should be improved. Let me know on Discord :)

There is still a lot planned for the game. The next steps are:
  • More maps with different biomes and climates.
  • More animals, animations, buildings, decorations, and production chains
  • Improved AI: enhanced needs and a memory for animals and humans
  • Revised UI, improved tutorial, and introduction
  • Enhanced trading system between settlements and other factions
  • Improved diplomacy system and small history
  • Better mod support
  • Improved map editor
  • And much more!

Sunny greetings, Kerz
