In Folklands, your folks go about their lives in-between their tasks.
Why is this lonely woman sitting on the beach, heart-broken? Nobody knows.

Slow-paced settlement builders like Caesar 3 and the classic Anno and Settlers games are some of our biggest inspirations.
Amazing games you could play and enjoy in your own pace ✨ What was your favorite memory with these classics?

Sometimes you have to take a step back and just realize how much your game can improve if you just keep working on it.
These shots are two years apart.
Keep at it.

Going from 1 male + female animated character to unique looks per profession has been a major undertaking - but it really brings the settlement to life ✨
