'Foundation' Kickstarter Campaign Successful With Weeks To Spare

by Rainier on Feb. 26, 2018 @ 11:37 a.m. PST

Foundation is a grid-less, sprawling medieval city building simulation with a heavy focus on organic development, monument construction and resource management.

Setting to redefine the city-building genre, Foundation puts the emphasis on the organic aspects of urbanism in the cities of old, powered by Polymorph Games’ proprietary game engine, Hurricane, which allows for full mod support and is optimized for the thousands of moving parts that come with building humongous cities.

This is the start of the middle ages and you have been given a land grant by the King for services rendered to God, King and Country. You are now the Lord of the Village, determined to build a prosperous settlement in this intricate period... will you be a gentle Lord? Or one with ‎a Fist of Steel? Your challenges will be many, but the rewards will be great. In Foundation, your choices are many as you seek to build your legacy!

The game features in-depth resource management akin to the Anno (Dawn of Discovery) series, expertly mixed with classic city-building elements from Settlers, SimCity, and Pharaoh all topped with narrative encounters inspired by Crusader Kings II to create the ultimate medieval ant-farm simulation.

Grow your untapped land into a great sprawling kingdom as you appease different factions of your area, all while listening to a beautiful original soundtrack by the veteran composers who’ve created music for Paradox Interactive titles such as Crusader Kings II and Europa Universalis IV.


With more than two weeks to go, Polymorph Games' Kickstarter campaign for Foundation has already surpassed its $59,635 funding target, unlocking stretch goals such as Map Creation Tool (80k), advanced visual effects (90k), DLC expansion (100k) and more.

Key Features:

  • Organic urbanism of the Medieval Era: Create gridless and organically sprawling cities that grow like actual medieval cities.
  • Lay the foundation, thrive, and prosper: Weave a complex web of interactions between inhabitants needs and skills, resources availability, extraction, and transformation.
  • Unique monument creation tool: Craft and design original free-form monuments like Abbeys, Churches, Lord Mansions, Castles and more, with our proprietary node-based tool.
  • Full modding support for the community: Share characters, buildings, quests, and even real topologies through our mod-support tool and be part of the Foundation community.
  • Powered by our own Hurricane game engine: Experience a city-building game engineered with a dedicated, tailor-made, in-house engine built with our unique vision in mind.
  • Original soundtrack by Paradox veterans: Immerse yourself in our blissful soundtrack by talented composers who worked on titles suche as Crusader Kings II and Europa Universalis IV!

Foundation is scheduled for Steam Early Access launch in Q4 2018.
