Banished
 

Anyone heard of this game? Kind of a medieval Simcity. Been following closely for a while and is close to being released.


Searched but didn't find.

I've been following it for a while now and waiting eagerly for its release. Looks magnificent. Always been a sucker for these kind of games.

Same here, looking forward to it. :yep:

Oh my God! Oh my... YES!
No, I never heard of it, THANK YOU for bringing it up. Oh how I would love a medieval Simcity!

Awesome!

Been following as well. :yep:

To be honest I had some doubts about how engaging it would be; seems like an (more complex) Anno game without combat. But then, I never liked the combat in Anno and thought it would be a better game without it, so... Don't really know what I was worried about. :hmmm:

And the whole game is being made by ONE PERSON...:salute:

Gunpoint was developed by one person as well, and it turned out great. The gameplay in the video reminds me a lot of Civ City Rome, looks like it will be good if he doesn't go crazy and charge $60 for it.

Unsubstantiated rumor is it is going to be around $20!

Very reasonable for what I've seen in the trailers.
Let's face it, this game won't be a block buster. The graphics are meh, things look outdated and the trailers did not really give away much about the game so far. But 20$ for a medieval and finally NOT fantasy game? Yup, have my support. And who knows how this game will look 1 year after release. Deserted or well supported, we will see.

Release Date?

Banished will be available for purchase on February 18, 2014

There's my birthday gift :)

Just now watched this preview gamplay of Bannished. I'm getting interested too:

First I've heard of it. It looks like a lot of fun. :rock:

FAQ

Will cost $19.99, will be DRM free, available at STEAM (Ok, kinda DRM), GOG.com and the Shining Rock Store.

Sounds great, time to get rid of DRM.
It is funny how well so many indie games do without any DRM. All the "Z0mg dem pirates!!!" panic-making was nonsense after all. Very most people ARE willing to pay for a game they are interested in.
So screw you, AAA studios and your DRM crap! I won't support you anymore! :arrgh!:

@ Nippelspanner

If you purchase directly from ShiningRock (using the Widget) you get the HumbleStore DRM free version with a Steam Code.
Luke (dev) has not stated that the DRM free exe will be patched in the future, whereas he has stated that the Steam release will be. Not sure what to make of that.
