Developer Warnings:


The developer Softwaves, which owns the title The Village, has been sold, and we will keep the same name and some titles.
We will reformulate several titles, correct them and continue the work on Early Access titles.
We will also reformulate prices and discounts for some games and packages.

Title notices:


The Village is one of the titles we liked the most when we made the acquisition, not because it was the first and the most well presented, but because of the quality and the work that was done on it.

When we started reworking the title, we knew there was a lot of work to be done for shipping, and then we started, fixed user-reported flaws, made improvements to overall game performance, and finally removed the need to connect with third-party accounts (which no one really liked).

The Village has undergone a general overhaul, with significant improvements and after several tests we can say that it is ready to be played in the right way!

See what we did:

  • Improved overall game performance (code optimizations)
  • WE REMOVE THE NEED TO CONNECT WITH SOFTWAVES ACCOUNTS (THIRD PARTY ACCOUNTS), now just click on play and that's it! No complications, no fear.
  • Correction of 34 bugs passed by users

We know that after years with the abandoned game it will not be easy to recover the public, but we will try our best!

We want to have all the support of the community, providing us with feedback on the update, praise and criticism are welcome!

The Village is more alive than ever! We hope you like this new update. We will keep the game in the best possible way.

Notices of upcoming releases:


For those who enjoy tycoon games, they'll love our new Freight Simulator title, which will be released May 22, 2020, Friday.
