[h3]New to ASKA?[/h3]
ASKA is a survival tribe builder, meaning that the game largely revolves around commanding and expanding your tribe of Villagers to survive in the harsh wilderness.


[h3]Build, Lead, Grow[/h3]

What separates ASKA from other survival games is the Villager system, the procedural world and the village building mechanics.

ASKA's building system is similar to RTS/City Builders, meaning you have buildings with clearly defined roles that need to be operated by workers. These range from resource harvesting buildings, production buildings to defenses and social structures.


You set up production lines and the endgame is about automation and fulfilling your villagers needs as you move from micro to macro, from second to second crafting and fighting to larger scale planning and expansion.



Do what you like, delegate the rest
The wonderful part about the Villager System is that you can always ask your Villagers to do what you don't feel like doing. Sometimes survival game tasks tend to be tedious, repetitive, grindy - this is exactly where the Villagers step in.

  • Don't like chopping wood? Build a Woodcutter and assign a Villager to do it.
  • Building takes too long? Have your Villagers do it.
  • You don't care much about combat? Build walls, towers and rely on Villagers to defend you.


These are just some basic examples, but ASKA is here to allow you to play your favorite genre exactly as you want.

[h3]What's new in ASKA?[/h3]
This week has been mostly about stabilizing multiplayer, so basically a lot of under the hood work, and fewer flashy content updates.

At the moment the bulk of our effort is focused on bringing the multiplayer version on par with the singleplayer one. Previously they were separate branches.

Fellow tribe leaders, don't be dismayed by the lack of content showcases, the Villagers are hard at work in the underground.


[h3]Today's Stream[/h3]
Today we're going for a good ol' multiplayer session, so expect a lot of running around, starvation and overall state of chaos as we try to get a bunch of Vikings to come together and design a settlement.

Make sure you tune in at 8:30PM CET on our Twitch channel!
