What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“I've been working on Verdant Village for a few years now. While the game isn't quite finished I believe it is important to get feedback from as many people as possible. I've chosen early access in the hopes that having various people play and talk about the game will help me to make an even better final product.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“As of early 2023 it was determined that the engine being used to make Verdant Village was lacking and causing a variety of issues. Due to this the game is being remade in a new engine. While this process will not be nearly as long as starting fresh it will set things back.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The full version of the game should include more of just about everything along with a couple of key systems that will be added slowly throughout early access. By the time the game fully releases I plan to have added many things. A short list of planned features is listed below.

[Alchemy] (Added)[Combat][Brewing] (Added)[A romance system][A more fleshed out conversational system with unique dialogues and cutscenes][A system allowing for the hiring of mercenaries to complete various missions.][Hunting] (Added)[Treasure Hunts]”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current state of the early access version is that much of the game is intact. At time of writing you can farm, fish, mine, hunt, perform alchemy, do quests, explore the map, do archaeology, decorate, cook, forage, and some other things. The game is playable at the moment however there is still a lot to add to make the game stand out in the genre.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The price of Verdant Village will be the same both in and out of early access. I have no plans to change it. On average users claim to get around 40 hours of playtime out of the game right now. Some have claimed more than double that and the game is still incomplete. Therefore the 15 USD price feels justified to me at least.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“The community is more than welcome to join in with the development of the game. There is already a community on itch that plays. There is also a discord server made to allow people who play to get in touch with others. I also frequent the server to answer questions, learn about bugs, and generally hear feedback on the game and what could be done to make it even better. All social media related links are available on the title screen of the game itself for easy access.”

Reviews

“If you've built the loveliest farmland, found yourself the handsomest spouse, and grown the tastiest turnips in Stardew Valley, and now you want another life sim to envelop you for the next few months you should try Verdant Village.”

“Verdant Village's free alpha shows massive promise for this fantasy Stardew-like”

About This Game

Developer Note: In the interest of honesty I wanted to add this to the game description. As of now Verdant Village is under reconstruction. An engine change has been deemed necessary for the improvement of the game. The current version on Steam is functional and all reviews posted are of the game in its current form. This message is here to inform any potential buyers of what is going on with the game. Currently any bugs that are found will be left. When the new version is comparable to the live one it will replace the current live game. And of course progress on the new version of the game will be posted each month.

Take on the challenges of living a life in the rustic medieval town of Amberglen. You've washed up on a quiet beach with nothing to your name, not even your memories. You're in luck however as locals are quick to find you, and nurse you back to health. The king himself is kind enough to allow you to stay on a piece of abandoned property to make your living. With nothing more than a few rusty tools turn strike out and attempt to breathe life back into this old land!
