'Fabledom' Early Access Update Adds New Encounters, World Events, Objectives, Improvements & Optimizations - Trailer

by Rainier on Oct. 16, 2023 @ 8:46 a.m. PDT

Set in a storybook kingdom of trolls, knights, and princesses, Fabledom offers a warm, upbeat approach to the city builder.

Create your settlement from the ground up and fill it with castles, barracks, farms, fields, houses and more. ​Customize your buildings to fit your vision ​with a range of decorations and utilities available to create the coziest, most functional village in all the land!

As with all good fairy tales, there’s something wicked on the horizon, so you’ll have to fortify your fortress and fight neighboring colonies for dominion among the realm! Assemble an army, choose your champion, and defend your kingdom against wicked neighbors and minions. Or go forth and conquer by sending your hero to fight in your name in a mighty quest to collect epic loot and gear​!

Find yourself a Prince or Princess Charming and marry for love! Or money! Diplomacy is the name of the game in feudal times, and Fabledom’s extensive negotiation mechanics let you unite for mutual interest - or clash for domination. Romance will strongly shape the way you play the game and interact with your neighbors, and every courtship brings new ways to establish your village as essential to the region​.

Indie developer Grenaa Games and publisher Dear Villagers announced that the 3rd major update for Fabledom is now available through Steam Early Access.

As well as bringing new key art for the title, this latest update, Fairytales and Community, offers a huge host of new fairytales encounters, including around 50 new world events, 30 objectives, new buildings, and a huge host of quality of life improvements and optimizations.

Some of these magical fairytale encounters include the misunderstood cyclops Eric one-eye, the lost red-hooded girl looking for her grandmother’s house, the witch and her hut, the emissary gnomes, and the fluting faun.

There’s plenty of new world events too, including a merchant selling magic beans and getting to hear from your immediate family. Perhaps they can cut down costs a bit? Furthermore, Fabledom will be getting new monthly and yearly objectives, offering long term goals for dedicated town builders.

This latest update adds several new buildings as well, including the Laborer Guild - as those belonging to the guild can carry more material and construct buildings faster than normal Laborers - a bank that allows you to increase taxes for greater funds at the expense of your fablings’ happiness, a Grand Theatre, and a Fisherman’s Hut that will let you gather seafood from nearby bodies of water. 

Other quality of life content and optimizations include: 

  • Added new graphs to help track resource production and consumption
  • Added icon to buildings attached to a resource that has been depleted 
  • Added tax controls 
  • Can now relocate buildings that have been placed 
  • Added improved tooltips 
  • Happiness now effects fabling productivity “if visually seen” 
  • Added roads with sharp corners 
  • Added commoners skins 
  • Added several new vegetables 
  • Desirability filter 
  • Windows light up during winter 
  • Debree now spawns on crop fields in winter, this has to be cleared by the farmers before any more crops can grow
  • Flag-lines now automatically generate between townhouses

“The Fairytales and Community update adds so much more depth, intrigue and convenience to Fabledom,” said Max Nielsen, Game Director of Grenaa Games. “The addition of over 50 new events, long-term goals, and new buildings combine to make Fabledom a richer, deeper, more surprising endeavor than ever before! That’s not all, as more updates will follow in the months to come!

Below is an updated roadmap of what more you cant expect from Fabledom between now and its emergence out of Early Access.
