Banished - Medieval SimCity

[J_C]

I've just seen this little fellow on RPS. Looks pretty good taking into account that it is made by 1 guy. Basicly it is a settlement building simulator. Like Simcity in medieval times.

That actually looks pretty good.

Neat.

Saw this last night when a friend sent me the vid, looks really fucking cool. My only reservation is does the guy have a plan to start missions within the game or is it just build your little settlement? I ask because I've grown bored of just straight city builders like SimCity so would like to know if there is any objective type shit you can complete to get bonuses or challenges to spice things up.

Looks good! Kinda reminds me more of Settlers than Sim City.

Aww^^

 

[felipepepe]

Yeah, that SimCity fiasco really left me wanting some of this!

Yeah, looking more into it, it is definitely closer to Settlers.

Saw it on RPS earlier too, looks pretty good.

Attention to detail and the setting look good, will keep an eye on this.

Stronghold 4?

 

[Brinko]

Stronghold 3?

I really like that when you order to clean a forest, people actually cut the trees instead of them simply disapearing and farms actually take alot of space. It isn't clear on the video if all the buildings are pre-made and you just place them on the map or if there is still a zoning system like Simcity.

Stronghold 2?

Potato simulator?

Potatoes in medieval times?

Hmm. "Screenshots" and a "movie" about a game for which no other evidence supports actually existing...there's a term for this...oh, right, VAPORWARE.

What? What other evidence can there be, which proves the existence of a game? Do you want to download it, or what?

 

[Jashiin]

Fuck yes, replaying settlers 2 right now.. this looks like the perfect combination of settlers and stronghold 1 gameplay. Let's hope he has all the resources physically stockpiled.. Loved seeing it all out there, not just disappearing into a shed with infinite internal dimensions.

Well, duh. Everyone knows the potato was invented by polish bioengineers in 32AD. Columbus just pretended to discover them in America to get around the draconic DRM poland built into their design.

 

[Raghar]

A simple question. When you people with correct English grammar are typing about stockpiled potatoes, are you using term potato, or potatoes?

 

[Borelli]

Stockpiled wood and stone brings back memories. I hope that occasionally vikings will sail in the river and wreck your shit for maximum medieval experience.

Edit: 82% education? Not in my medieval!

Potato in every time.

That depends on what you're wearing.
