How are you, settlers? 👋

There's a lot to report today!
From the ongoing Earth Appreciation Festival to our new map Herznach and the new key art. Here we go.

WELCOME TO HERZNACH🏔️
After the desert map Zimmen, there is now another region in the game with harsh survival conditions. We are curious to see how you manage to maintain your settlement in rocky Herznach. Feel free to post a screenshot of your village in our Discord.



LEVEL SYSTEM REWORK🔧
The level system has been increased from 5 levels to 7. It has also been incorporated into the region progression and building system. We are very interested in feedback on the gameplay of this rework and would be super grateful for a few words about it in our Discord.

How do you join the Alpha Playtest❓

NEW KEY ART🦊
We are really proud to show you our new key art that a fellow Swiss game designer has been working on for the last few weeks. We hope you like Jim's new look.



EARTH APPRECIATION FESTIVAL🌍
On April 22nd we celebrate Earth Day on Steam. There we are part of the Earth Appreciation Festival. It's super cool to see our game next to games like Timberborn or Going Medieval. You can find the sale here: https://store.steampowered.com/sale/appreciateearth2023

How's it going, Settlers? 👋
First of all, welcome to all those who have moved into our settlement. Welcome to Kerzoven! The last public demo at the Base Building Festival was very well received by you and a huge article was published in the GameStar magazine: https://bit.ly/41xSOiG (in German)

BIG UI OVERHAUL:
Marco, Denise, Pierre and Manuel have spent the last month reworking the user interface of Circle of Kerzoven from the ground up. The goal: A more pleasant game flow and a better general overview.
You can now play the first preview of this work in the latest version of the playtest.

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.

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

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.
