With Banished, the survival trend had reached city builders, and after its success, others built upon the formula. With Ancient Cities, a new contender from a studio with the telling name "Uncasual Games", made it to Greenlight.

Starting in the Neolithic era you will have to guide your people along generations, discovering and improving technologies, managing resources and population, facing your human or natural enemies, and ultimately, building the most fantastic city of the antiquity in a fully simulated world and ecosystem.
Our vision
We love tech, strategy games, History, Archeology and cities.
Of course, we dream, as you do, with a gorgeous strategy city simulator that can let the player develop its city along the ages in a credible and immersive way.
We have chosen to start at the origin of cities, in the late Neolithic era. It was logic, and it is also highly suitable for the project; new eras introduce new gameplay and game features over what existed before. Just as real life.
We are developing our own custom render technology for this game because this allows us to render what we envision: Thousands of items in screen at the same time with nice fps, offering the player breathtaking images of their cities. Both, gameplay and detail are important to us.
We are presenting you our first game. And depending to a great extend on the budget, we intend to include late Neolithic and Bronze age in the final release.
We expect Ancient Cities to become a powerful platform for next developments, moving us more and more into the realms of History, exploring different places and ages around the world: Greece, Rome or Middle Ages...
For this to become true we need your support on this first project.
We know you will love this as much as we do.
The game will be available when its ready.
We have also a website: website.
