Settler Creator Shows First Gameplay – Expert Foresees Building Hit On Steam

earthpressnews

Pioneers of Pagonia wants to make many settler fans happy on Steam. With one of the forefathers of the Settlers series, a well-known and experienced developer is also involved in the project. But the game doesn’t just want to rest on its laurels, it also wants to bring innovations to the genre.

What is Pioneers of Pagonia?

  • Pioneers of Pagonia is a city building sim, in the spirit of the Settlers series.
  • A new trailer shows the first gameplay that gives hope for an upcoming construction hit
  • You manage villages and their inhabitants, trying to optimize the various production chains and further develop your village.
  • According to Steam, a release is planned for late 2023
  • Also included is developer Volker Wertich, a true veteran of the genre. He worked on the first and third part of the Settlers series.
  • He also worked on the newest part of the Settlers series, The Settlers-New Alliances, but left the studio in 2020 during development.

    • He and studio Envision Entertainment are currently working on Pioneers of Pagonia. Hopefully this German game project will develop better than the disastrous release of another German studio.

    In any case, Maurice Weber, perhaps the best-known German expert on building games, sees several signs that it will be better than the last disappointing part of the Settlers series.

    He analyzes the first gameplay trailer and praises the attention to detail, among other things. You can see the full comment:

    Your people have to make you happy

    What does Pioneers of Pagonia offer? Unlike in other genre representatives, you don’t have to make the villagers happy, but the other way around. As Volker Wertich says in an interview with PCGamer:

  • In our game you have to [Dorfbewohner] not make you happy, but people must make you [den Spieler] make happy. That’s the basic idea.

    • An interesting approach, since many other building simulations live off the mood of the villagers. The game also offers other features:

  • The bustling factor that is loved by many is included
  • thousands of residents
  • Infinite variations of maps
  • colonization of islands
  • Over 40 building types and more than 70 goods
  • online coop
  • Beautiful cel shading graphics

    • You also have to avert dangers in the form of bandits, wild animals or mysterious mythical creatures such as werewolves.
