Medierra’s been pretty tight-lipped about it since the screenshot last Christmas. However he did say a bit about it in the 5th October stream:
kobrao :hows new project going @Medierra
Medierra :I think we’re getting close to being able to show more / announce the new game but we don’t have a website / marketing art or anything else set up… so much peripheral stuff you have to do beyond just making the game
"drazac :so is the new game a city builder, or is it a strategy with city building elements
Crank9000 :Has there been any info what genre the new game is? There was talk about some kind of RTS around year ago or so
Medierra :its a town-builder with an optional combat element
genericvillain :Is it confirmed that their new project has anything to do with grim dawn?
Medierra :new project is not related to Grim Dawn
CepheidSauron :Any new projects you guys are working this year, except for the expansion?
Medierra :“new” project, which is about 2 years old now, is a town-builder done in Unity though… then we’ll be starting something else soon"
A few more comments from Zantai in the 24th May stream:
"mauric1us : does the town builder game have a name?
It has a name. I don’t think I’m allowed to tell you yet.
DarkOmeh : what year you think that the new town building will come or have more information @CrateEntertainment
Maybe I should tell you cause they’ll be forced to live up to what I tell you. But it’s probably 2020. If they release it this year. Come on guys, make 2019 happen. What’s stopping you, it’s easy. I mean Grim Dawn’s been out for years, why isn’t the town builder done?
tuftyfella : is there a match 3 element to the town builder?
No. And I will dare say officially here that it does not require a phone either.
killmame : by town builder, not sure if you can say, but can you describe what it might be like?
It’s going to involve building a town and having people in that town and having them, you know, not die every winter."
Okay, a bit more info from FB. In a reply to a question about the round building - it’s the town centre.
A little more info from the GD Facebook page
" It does include resource collection and town defense vs. “raiders”"
Okay, a few more bits of info from the GD Discord just now. Make of them what you will.
"devloek:
townbuilder: is combat optional or mandatory?
Zantai:
I would say it is inevitable
I’m still petitioning hard for wolves to rain from the sky
devloek:
will it have named characters/heroes that can level up, or do you send anon cannon fodder against the wolves?
Zantai:
you can name your villagers
devloek:
awesome
Zantai:
how else will you get your family and friends killed off
devloek:
does one playthrough span several generations of your family or just one?
Zantai:
it’s a town builder"
We have a NAME!
Website’s up for it too.
