Vikings!
Welcome once again to the world of Viking City Builder, where the seasons ebb and flow just like in the real world. As winter gives way to spring, the landscape transforms, offering new opportunities and challenges for your Viking settlement. Read our latest devlog where we’re showing show you the impact of changing seasons on gameplay, as you navigate positive and negative modifications to the game mechanics and visual aspects with each passing season.
Starting from the spring desired by the Vikings, the player will feel stabilized and have the chance to supplement losses after the cruel conditions of winter. Again, there are sources of food that were inaccessible during the winter season, and herbs can now be collected to cure Ill and raise health. Migration can also be expected within this period.
Summer will be the best time for aggressive expansion both within the village and on the world map since the settlement situation should be already stable as every building will return to normal functioning. This is the period when the player should feel the strongest and most eager to take actions.
Autumn is a good period to gather resources and harvest food for survival when winter comes. Players can trade their goods for the needed supplies or just to increase the wealth of the settlement. In autumn we will have the materials due to the long availability of all buildings and settlers.
Winter is the hardest time of the year. Players will be focusing mostly on the survival of their settlement as many of the buildings will not be available, weakening the economy and food production. Providing enough accommodation, heating the houses, having enough food and clothes, and correct management of the settlement, like dynamically assigning professions to the villagers, will be essential to minimize the negative influence of the winter. Unprepared players will be fighting for survival, while those who manage to get ready for this harsh condition will be able to use that time for troop training.
