Hooded Horse :
August 12, 2024 - Hooded Horse and developer Long Jaunt are excited to share the upcoming development roadmap for medieval kingdom sim Norland, which recently released into Steam Early Access.
Moving away from the near-daily update cadence in the weeks since release, the team has worked up a plan on where to take Norland over the next few months, up to November:
In the short-term, the team will focus on optimization, implementing Steam Achievements, and introducing a new feature with cemeteries.
In September, the team plans to enhance combat features by adding crossbows and archer towers, as well as improving diplomacy on the global map. There will also be new events brought by mysterious guests!
In October, the focus will shift to city fortifications, such as walls and gates, alongside feudal relationships, and the family tree interface.
Long-term plans include reworking global and local map generation, politics, further improvements to diplomacy, additional layers of tactics and warfare, new buildings, resources, and further roadmap updates will be dropped every few months. You can read more in the latest developer update.
Norland had a successful launch, selling over 185,000 copies in its first two weeks after launch. The game is available on PC via Steam Early Access for $29.99 / £24.99 / €29.99 / ¥3,980. A press kit is available.
