Hello everyone! The time has finally arrived... Foundation has officially left Early Access, and version 1.0 is available now! After 6 years of new features, bug fixes, and improving the game with the help of your feedback, we are proud to finally wrap up Foundation's incredible journey in Early Access! Since the last major update, we have worked tirelessly to deliver the game we envisioned and the game you want to play.

Foundation is a grid-less, laid-back medieval city-building game with a focus on organic development, monument construction and resource management. Foundation combines free-building tools and procedural generation to create the ultimate organic city-building experience. Assign jobs, create production chains, establish trade. In Foundation, your creations come to life! The full release comes with a large number of changes. So many, in fact, that it may seem like a whole new game! If you want to know what's new, grab a medieval drink and some snacks while the game updates, and we'll take a look through the patch notes.

What's Next for Foundation
This is far from the end of the road for Foundation. We will continue to add to Foundation with free quality of life updates, bug fixes and further improvements to the game, as well as modding features and tools. Beyond the full release, we also have exciting DLC content planned, with more details to be revealed in upcoming announcements.

If you encounter any issues with this new release, please join us on our Discord server and let us know. We always appreciate your feedback and bug reports, and we aim to address any new issues ASAP.

Thank You To All Our Supporters!
To all our early access supporters, we extend our heartfelt thanks! Your invaluable feedback over the years has been instrumental in shaping the game. We deeply appreciate your unwavering support, thoughtful insights, and kind words. Thank you for fostering a warm and welcoming community, for playtesting countless iterations, and for being an essential part of this incredible journey with us!

A number of you have asked how you can support us further, which means so much to us! We have created a supporter pack that you can upgrade/buy on our store page. The supporter pack includes a special building: the Guivre Garden + the original Foundation soundtrack. The Guivre Garden contains 18 parts including a main statue plus 3 secondary statues, giving you even more options to embellish your city.

Thank you all once again and we hope you enjoy the new update!

Thank goodness you were wrong!

Anyway my laptop nearly died playing that, but from my several minutes playing it it might actually be decent. But also I already play Farthes Frontier and I have a feeling this will not be as good as that.

Why? Start with a small village/colony, build your own Trantor. That would rock :rockout:

Becasue those books suck and the only thing Asimov was decent at was short stories. Most overrated writer in history, next to Hemingway.

But did you read them in Swedish or English? I read them in English and thought they were good.
