'Kingdoms and Castles' Announced, Seeks Crowd Funding - Screens & Trailer

Kingdoms and Castles is a game about growing a kingdom from a tiny hamlet to a sprawling city and imposing castle.

In Kingdoms and Castles, players start out creating small villages, which they expand to thriving cities protected by imposing castles.  As the game progresses, choices about strategic castle expansions, tax policies, farming, industry, religious institutions, defense and other important decisions determine whether their city thrives for fails. Unlike other games that have come before, players in Kingdoms and Castles will both create a city and protect it from danger.  Many other games have focused separately and exclusively on building or defending - not both.

The kingdoms face threats from a dynamic and dangerous world filled with vikings, plague, dragons, bitter winters and other challenges. The player’s strategy will determine if the viking raiders make off with their villagers or if they are stopped, full of arrows, at the castle gates; or if a dragon torches the town’s granary so that people die of starvation in the winter, or are able to boldly defeat the beast. The success of kingdoms depends solely on the player’s intelligence and skill as a city and castle planner. 

Kingdoms and Castles began its Fig funding campaign earlier today to raise $15,000 for the development, and reached its goal in just two hours

Stretch goals will be announced and include features like adding Twitch Integrated Gameplay, VR Support, etc.

The Kingdoms and Castles world dynamically changes and evolves throughout the game - seasons change, forests grow and clouds move through the sky, with a variety of algorithms and procedural systems operating behind the scenes to simulate the environment.

Individuals and organizations can learn more about the game and support Kingdoms and Castles on Fig.co/castles today.  In addition to rewards contributions, qualified investors can get returns based on the game’s sales performance by investing in a Fig security that pays dividends tied to the revenues received from the game.
