We did it. Folklands has officially left Early Access and 1.0 is available now! Folklands started because the four of us wanted to make the kind of settlement builder we grew up playing. Something inspired by games like The Settlers, early Anno, Caesar and Pharaoh , where starting with a few Folks and slowly turning an empty piece of land into a functioning town is the fun part. Early Access ga…
As your settlement gets larger, trying to produce absolutely everything yourself can start becoming a bit of a problem - maybe your map has plenty of Oil, but not much good land for Wine. Maybe your friend settled somewhere with exactly the opposite problem. With 1.0 we're adding a global market , which lets you buy and sell goods instead of having to build every production chain yourself. That…
We're a team of three brothers and one very close friend who is basically a fourth brother, and we originally started making games for a pretty simple reason: we like playing games together. Our first project was a deckbuilder - starting off an idea one of the brother had for a movie. We worked on it on and off for around ten years - both digital and physical - before one of us finally asked a…
Growing a settlement is one thing - keeping everyone happy is a whole other ball game. As your Folk-land grows, so do the expectations of the people living in your settlement. Food and shelter will get you started and keep everybody happy in the beginning and after a while your Villagers will add some challenges - but it's your Townsfolk that will make you struggle. They want the good stuff. Wi…
Yesterday, we said Folklands 1.0 means More Folk. More Lands. There is, unfortunately, a small problem with the second part: The good land isn't always where you want it to be! As your settlement grows, each new tier brings new buildings, new opportunities, and new demands on your economy. As your settlement grows, so does the need to expand - farms need more space, production buildings need mo…
MORE FOLK. MORE LANDS. Folklands 1.0 launches September 9. A journey that started almost 4 years ago is almost coming to an end - or is it a new beginning?

Your feedback, ideas, strange little towns, extremely ambitious produ…

"Let's make the game we want to play, with all the things we like from these other games, but let us focus on playing together, not against each other!" When we started developing Folklands, this was our main idea: a game that was as easy, engaging and fun to play alone or with friends / family in mind, which lets you pick up and continue the game whenever you feel like it - or lets you continu…
