I'm the lead developer on this game. I'd be more than happy to answer any questions.

We're still early in development and working on a pre-alpha demo that will anchor the gameplay enough to have a trailer. Steam page art is also temporary, but the overall gist of the game is set.

I'll post game news here whenever I make a devblog.

Hello! What more can you tell me about the setting? In example, playing as a Celt or a Nubian? How many choices upon game start? EDIT: My bad, I've read the Steam page after the post. Dalmatia was your choice! That is a fringe of the Roman Empire quite early on so I would still like you to answer my original query.

You play as a preset "origin" (the son of a Dalmatia King from barbarian tribes that sided in the past with Odoacer). But you decide your whole background (akin to Suzerain) with decisions, etc.

The fact it's fringe is one of the reason we picked it up: we can still be "historical" (important to us) while not infringing on a bunch of more known stuff.

"historical"

So this is a Byzantine Empire game?

Also, thank you, Suzerain is a game I know. I'll wishlist to follow!

Kind of Byzantine. You're (like in history) in between Rome (Ostrogothic) and Constantinople (Eastern Roman).

Thanks for the wishlist! We aim to be very transparent about development, and it should change (for the better) in terms of UI/UX in the next months.
