What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Ostriv has been a community-driven project since its first playable alpha back in 2017. Having thousands of players providing tons of useful feedback have proven to be the only good approach in achieving the ambitious goals of this game.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“I won't lie, it may take years to make this game what it deserves to be. There may be long delays between updates when development meets major design challenges. But that's what it takes to create a masterpiece.”

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

“The current roadmap is as follows.
  • campaign (story mode)
  • more production chains
  • more statistics(production, consumption, trade etc.)
  • improved trading: trade by sea and by river, negotiations, discounts, reputation
  • education, religion, entertainment
  • crime, justice and security
  • more types of housing(row houses etc.)
  • more types of bridges, paved roads
  • orchards, more crop types
  • improved graphics and optimized performance for bigger cities
  • Linux (and maybe Mac) support
  • more weather effects
  • cats and dogs
  • more believable behaviors, social activities, animations
  • products quality, spoilage
  • worker experience, sharing experience, manager skills
  • private businesses
  • more town hall functionality : advisors, policies, personnel management
  • more maps with different landscape types
  • more languages
  • complete game manual and in-game tips
  • customizable building colors and forms, ornamentation
  • modding support (level editor, building editor)

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current alpha contains over 60 buildings, 7 maps, advanced farming with crop rotation and ploughing, organic dirt roads modeling, dynamically changing seasons, private farming, basic trading by land and river and some other things you would expect (and some you wouldn't) from a city-building game. It is playable and can even be enjoyable if you can deal with occasional crashes to desktop or even sometimes needing to start over.”

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

“No plans for price change currently.”

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

“Writing me directly on is the best way to provide bug reports along with corresponding logs and saved games. Other feedback and comments that don't require direct answer, are acceptable anywhere including Steam forum, twitter, facebook, /r/OstrivGame or even comments on news feed. Please avoid writing bug reports where I can not get back to you directly.”

About This Game

Ostriv aims to raise the bar of city-building experience by adding a huge amount of possibilities and removing annoying limitations. It allows for truly organic town layouts without the grid and angle restrictions on a three-dimensional landscape. The goal is to make player's creations to become alive and believable communities where real-life problems would arise, thus making the late game a new challenge rather than a repetitive chore.

This game is still in development! Please buy it only if you want to support the development and provide detailed bug reports and feedback to help make it a masterpiece it deserves to be. The development is slow and steady, which means there can be long delays between updates
