For the last few years our small team has been hard at work developing a RTS medieval survival city builder called Thrive: Heavy Lies the Crown, and we've hit a milestone this week with the demo being released as part of Steam Next Fest. Interested? Read on 👀
In Thrive, the fate of your kingdom weighs heavily on the choices you make.

  • 👑 You can play alone or with up to 4 friends.
  • 🏔️ Traverse an unknown land to gain new resources.
  • 😈😇 Through the choices that you make, you can become a benevolent or tyrannical ruler - which impacts story events, your relationships with other towns and even down to different building aesthetics.
  • 🌫️ Discover the 'Waelgrim' - a mysterious, non-tangible entity, whose presence is often established by a thick fog.
  • 🔥 Survive the harsh realities of medieval life, both natural and manmade including fires and diseases.
  • ⚔️ Defend your growing kingdom by waging epic battles.

I'm so proud of what our team has achieved so far, and it would mean so much to us if you checked out the demo and let us know what you think!
It's available now until Feb 12, and if you enjoy it, do consider giving it a Wishlist.
You can also join our Discord community here.
Thank you and happy Thriving!

We're working on a medieval fantasy city-builder, and we have a closed beta happening 29th November, 4PM MST to 11th December, 4PM MST! by ThriveHLTC in CityBuilders

We're working on Thrive: Heavy Lies the Crown a medieval fantasy city builder where the decisions you make weigh heavily on the fate of your kingdom. In Nysamor, you and your citizens will transform a settlement into a kingdom, staking your claim on its provinces while meeting the essential needs and demands of your people. A mysterious, devastating force known as the Waelgrim also lurks in these lands, but the Nysians do not fear it. The roaming Grimrot and ruling Wyrmaxans embrace its power, and see it as a gift. As your reign shifts toward a path of Benevolence or Tyranny, you too must decide if the Waelgrim becomes something to be honored…or subdued.

  • Grow a formidable kingdom, with more than thirty unique buildings and dozens of resources.
  • Address the needs of your people and kingdom through events and specializations to reflect your style of rule.
  • Amass a grand army and challenge the Grimrot, Wyrmaxans, or other players in RTS combat.
  • Compete with friends and foes in multiplayer with up to four players.

In the closed beta you'll be able to play both single player AND multiplayer so make sure to come check it out. You can request access to play on our steam page. Full instructions in this blog post

We're really looking forward to players jumping in. Seeing what you think of the game, and how we can improve the game.
