C'est sur quel moteur ?
Unreal Engine 4. Pour le moment, il n'est pas prévu de passer à UE5.



Travaillez-vous vraiment seul sur ce sujet ?
Je suis le seul membre permanent du studio, mais je coopère de plus en plus avec des freelances. Parfois, j'achète des actifs pour accélérer le développement (par exemple Megascans), et récemment, je me suis associé à une société professionnelle d'assurance qualité appelée QLOC. J'ai aussi un éditeur – Hooded Horse – qui s'occupe du marketing et de la distribution.



Quelle est la date de sortie ?
Le jeu est sorti le 26/04/2024.



Sur quelles plateformes arrive-t-il ?
Manor Lords sera disponible en accès anticipé sur PC via Steam, GOG et la boutique Microsoft. Il sera également disponible dès le premier jour via PC Games Pass. Une version console Xbox arrivera ultérieurement.



Attends, quoi, tu développes une version console ?
Actuellement, Manor Lords est confirmé pour les plateformes PC et Xbox. Nous fournirons des informations supplémentaires sur la console à une date ultérieure.



Combien de temps sera-t-il en accès anticipé ?
La durée dépendra de facteurs tels que les commentaires des joueurs et les besoins de développement.



Y aura-t-il un mode sans combat ?
Oui.



Les batailles se déroulent-elles sur une carte séparée ?
Tout le jeu se déroule sur une seule carte, en temps réel (avec contrôles de vitesse/pause).



Y aura-t-il des murs et des fortifications ? Y aura-t-il des batailles navales ? Cavalerie ?
Ce sont toutes des fonctionnalités que je souhaite ajouter après avoir lancé l'accès anticipé initial et résolu tous les problèmes liés au gameplay de base.

Will there be different cultures? Is there a campaign?
The EA launch version of the game is going to be a single faction and sandbox only. However, exploring different cultures and themes in the future is something I’ve thought about.

Multiplayer?
I want to polish the single-player experience first.

How can I support the project? Can I preorder the game?
If you're here discussing the game and sharing info, you're already supporting me a great deal. Wishlisting on Steam helps a ton, because it raises visibility. If you want to help financially I did set up a Patreon page, but don't worry about it too much: https://www.patreon.com/GregStyczen

Will there be another demo?
There are no plans for another demo at this time.

What is planned for the initial early access build?
Early Access will have:

City-building – Develop your region from a tiny village to a dense town, build industries, unlock development branches, plan and upgrade your Manor.

Army management & battles – Draft villagers, hire and upgrade retinue, and hire mercenaries to fight against bandits and invading lords.

Claims – Earn influence and lay claims to neighboring lands.

A small selection of different modes and scenarios, as well as initial versins of things like policies, and the technology tree.

Can I get access to a closed alpha?
Applications to Closed Alpha stage are now closed.

Will there be mod support?
Yes, but I don’t plan on implementing it until after 1.0, at least.

When did you start developing the game?
I started in July 2017.

What about guns?
If I do them, it will probably be the last of all the things to do, with an option to turn them off for people who don't like them.

What about ?
I’ve thought about a lot of different features and looked at plenty of suggestions from the community. I have an idea in my head regarding what I’d like to do, but I will also be responding to community feedback once the game is out in early access. You can try searching the discord to see if I’ve spoken specifically about the feature you have in mind – I’ve been asked about most things at this point. My preference for the moment is to focus on a modest feature set and then polish it to seven heavens, so the answer to many questions regarding feature suggestions will be “probably after launch” or something similar.

Confirmed things that will not be in the game
Here are some features that have been requested that I can confirm won’t be in the game. This is not an exhaustive list:

No dynasty mechanics

No heroes or leader units

No single-person units in general, for now

No town guard
