Manor Lords, the city-building game, has been receiving positive feedback from users during its early access phase. Despite the lack of a concrete development plan, the developer has hinted at a potential roadmap by conducting a survey to gather insights on player preferences.
Greg Stychen, the game’s creator, is seeking input on future improvements for Manor Lords in 2024. Players can choose from various options such as AI-controlled cities, castle sieges, late-game economy enhancements, and new map types. Currently, the option of cities under AI control is leading the survey, closely followed by artificial intelligence for settlements.
The feedback from the survey will likely guide the developer in prioritizing and implementing new features in the game. Suggestions from players include adding grand structures like cathedrals, expanding agricultural mechanics, and focusing on stability and balance improvements.
Additionally, mod support may be considered in the future, as demonstrated by a video featuring Shrek in Manor Lords. While mods are not officially supported yet, the potential for creative additions is evident.
Manor Lords quickly gained popularity on Steam, breaking records with over 1 million copies sold in a single day after its early access release. Greg Stychen, the developer behind the game, revealed that the name of his studio, Slavic Magic, was inspired by a meme about The Witcher 3, emphasizing the creative and ambitious spirit of independent developers.
“‘Budget of 40-50 million dollars. Vodka and Slavic magic’.”
