Early Access Follow-up News

It is now nearly 2 months since Foundation released on to Early Access on Steam and GOG!

The successful Early Access release brought with it a lot of new players with various system specifications. Since then we have been busy fixing crashes and focusing on smaller patches to improve the gameplay experience of the current content.

Some statistics since Early Access launch:

  • On launch day, there was 1 crash for every 11.17h played
  • Today, there is 1 crash for every 140.31h played

A total of 1 764 248 hours played. This is the equivalent of 201 years of playtime!!


Foundation Winning Awards

December 2018 saw the return for the 9th time of the IndieDB, Indie of the Year Awards.

Thousands of Indie games were voted on and whittled down to the Top 100 with Foundation coming in second overall for the Best Upcoming Indie, voted for by players.

In addition, we were delighted to take home the prestigious, Editor’s Choice Best in Show Award!

In March, Foundation continued its winning streak by landing the National Bank’s Coup de Coeur Award at the Ubisoft Indie Series!


What We Are Working On

The Early Access release was a busy period of fixes and optimization but you will be happy to hear that we are working hard toward the next content update!

We will be announcing more detail of the upcoming content update soon but for now we are excited to tell you that we will be:

  • Expanding some of the current in-game features, focusing on improvements to the estate progression system.
  • Expanding the capabilities of the modding API.
  • And of course we will continue to fix any bugs and improve the balancing.
  • Anyone fancy a beer?! 👉*hint*👈
