Project Introduction

The Settlings, as the name suggests, is a game inspired by classic 90s titles like Lemmings and The Settlers. Its vision is to provide players with a gaming experience that starts with micromanagement of small settlements and progresses into full automation of a larger city.

Initially, the player's task is to distribute tools to the Settlings, such as axes and pickaxes, allowing them to gather basic resources like wood logs and stones. Wood logs can be converted into wood planks, which serve as more advanced building materials and can also be used in crafting. Since the Settlings move in a manner reminiscent of Lemmings and lack AI for pathfinding, the player must terraform the map and strategically place constructions like ladders, boxes, signs, lifts, bridges, and other objects to control the Settlings' movement.

All of these actions are necessary to establish an efficient resource flow, enabling the construction of advanced buildings and the crafting of weapons needed to combat enemies on the map. In the current demo, players can enjoy:

19 unique buildings available for construction
15 tools and objects
7 spells
3 weapon sets
Numerous skeletons to battle, as well as a fearsome dragon.

Currently I am working on a new alpha / demo version where I will introduce a sige workshop automaticaly shooting on a big water boss, new map with unlimited playtime and some other improvements.
NOTE: New demo for review is live as of 28.07.2023. Use "Demo Download" button in the right steam column!
