I just found out some interesting news on a game called Stonehearth wich is sandbox strategy game with town building, crafting, and epic battles! It parts sandbox strategy, Real Time strategy and RPG elements. There was a Kickstarter last year that raised over $700,000 from an initial goal of $120,000 and has over 22,000 backers. You can sign up for about $30 to Alpha test the game. You can find more info at www.stonehearth.net
I am very interested in trying this out so check out this video that was made for the Kickstarter to get more of an idea on this game that is currently in Alpha 5. Its looks very neat and I hope others will try this out.
Here is some info about this game from the Kickstarter:
"Stonehearth is a game about exploration and survival in an epic fantasy setting. Your job is to help a small group of settlers survive and carve out a place for themselves in a hostile land. You’ll need to establish a food supply, build shelter, defend your people, and find a way to grow and expand, facing challenges at every step.
Starting from procedurally generated terrain with dynamic AI encounters, Stonehearth combines city sim and good old combat with infinite building possibilities. It’s built to be moddable at every level, from your city, to the people and creatures inhabiting the world, and will ship with the tools and documentation for you to add your own customizations to the game, and share them with friends."
I plan to purchase access to Alpha 5 soon and If I like it as much as I expect I will make very detailed impressions on this game and if its worth your time.
This is the Kickstarter video that shows some what this game is about.
This video talks about some new features in coming after Alpha 5.
Here is a walkthrough of Alpha 5 of the game which just came out this month and shows how far the game has progressed.
