Vienna, Austria – 21nd Mar 2022
Guild of Dragons is situated in the city-building simulation genre, but as a dragon mage, you raise your dragons, explore, farm, craft, and fight in first-person perspective, but build in top-down view.
The Viennese husband and wife development studio reached their Kickstarter goal for its settlement building game on Kickstarter after only 28 hours and is now already over 250% funded. The Kickstarter Campaign ends on 24th of March.
Kickstarter backers are especially interested in the opportunity to be a character in the game, modeled after a photo of themselves. All main character slots are already taken, but there are still a few quest-giver slots left. Guild of Dragons Kickstarter features unique rewards including exclusive in-game items, like scalable golden weapons or unique dragons.
Over 2 years ago, Claudius decided to quit his job after 16 years as CTO of a group of companies to work full-time on Guild of Dragons. For the last two years, the development has been entirely self-funded.
Eva Maria: "Both of us working on the settlement builder of our dreams is the best thing ever!”
They are now in Pre-Alpha and are working on a build for their alpha tester backers. From there, they'll work alongside the community implementing as much feedback as possible into the game before eventually launching into Steam's Early Access next year.
A few months later the Mac version will be released.
