The Final Playtest Before Steam Next Fest

[h2]The Final Playtest Before Next Fest[/h2]

The new Pompeii: The Legacy playtest is live, and it marks the last public test before the upcoming press demo version launching on May 29th.

This version includes numerous improvements based on feedback from the first playtest:
  • A completely overhauled Menu UI with visual polish and easier navigation
  • Brand new family & symbol customization for your citizens
  • Enhanced visuals and refined gameplay balance
  • A reworked system for handling grain fields, with vineyards and olive groves coming in the demo
  • A shorter campaign slice, missing a few late quests that will appear in the demo
  • Sandbox mode and trade system are currently locked, but both will be fully available in the demo
  • A new, more intuitive tutorial with UI highlights will also be included in the demo version




I also hope players will enjoy some of the new buildings already added, and those coming in the demo. From the warmth of the Bakery, to the practical calm of the Herbalist Garden, the textile bustle of the Clothing Factory, and the iconic relaxation of the Bathhouse, these additions aim to bring more life and depth to your Pompeii. They're not just functional, they carry personality, and I can't wait to see how you'll build with them.



[h2]Coming Soon: Steam Next Fest[/h2]

Pompeii: The Legacy will officially take part in Steam Next Fest, starting June 9. The upcoming Next Fest demo will offer even more content, features, and polish, and will be available to both players and press. Be sure to wishlist the game and stay tuned as I prepare to showcase a deeper look into ancient city-building, survival, and legacy.
