Halmweit

One village for everyone Nothing in Halmweit belongs to just one player. You share a storehouse and a workforce, and whatever someone builds is there for everybody. One of you chops wood, another looks after the fields, and the third has been sitting by the lake fishing for the past hour. The village keeps growing anyway. You can play on your own too. Then your village simply moves at your pace.A world worth wandering Around your village lie 2048 by 2048 tiles of land. Forests, meadows, desert, frost, mountains and big lakes. Every world is rolled fresh, so you never quite know what's over the next hill. Maybe a town, a little hamlet or an oasis. Maybe an old pyramid in the sand. There are caves beneath the map. Down there you'll find coal, and every now and then something someone lost a long time ago.People make the village You win new villagers over by walking up and talking to them. There's no button for it. Everyone has a mind of their own and things they like, and they'll happily chat. People grow older, fall in love, move in together and have children. In the evening they gather at the inn, and somebody's always playing music. When they're hungry, they work slower. When it all gets too much, they down tools. Both can be put right again. It never gets worse than that.From footpath to railway You start with an axe, a handful of people and half a village. Later on you'll have sawmills, markets, power and tracks with freight trains rolling across the land. Cargo boats carry your goods over the lakes. If you'd rather ride, you can tame a horse. And every year, winter comes. The stoves need wood or coal, and a village that stocked up in autumn gets through it snug and warm.What you won't find No fighting, no monsters and no disasters burning your village down. No time pressure and no end screen. Animals aren't kept to take something from them. The cows and sheep are there because a farm isn't a farm without them. The cat stays if you feed it often enough.How you play - On your own, at your own pace - Together on your home network - On your own server, for a regular group Halmweit is still in development, and new things keep arriving.
