Hey fellow DF-enthusiasts,

   I just released my first alpha version of Fief: the Medieval Manor Simulation.  It is a rogue-like 2D turn-based game in which you essentially start from scratch on a new wild manor and build your way into a thriving town and kingdom.  The game is currently in very early alpha with mostly only survival-game elements in place.  Feel free to give it a try and tell me what you think.

Information and downloads can be found at my website here:  www.arboreantears.com/fief

Cheers, 
      Gene

Why not use the old thread?

[Thes33]

Because its not just a project anymore, it's released!   

[jocan2003]

Well if its released... why doesnt it include what the game is supposed to have and why is it only at 0.3 alpha o.O?

Keep in mind i havent downloaded it yet but the website does quite give the same information as you seem to say here.

I can't make it work... I open the fief.jar with java but there's an error message about OPTIONS.XML

Glad to see a release finally. I can open the game but not get in to play. It does loading after setting map variable and then gets to a black screen for me.

Looks like a very simple URW but the concept sounds interesting so I am looking forward to seeing the project expand. Good luck with it.

[Tellemurius]

alright finally

already a bug

When opening the skills menu i cannot select survival down the bottom with my mouse

Why not make this in Ascii? seems infinitely better

[PenguinOverlord]

I remember when this was in development! It looks like you've put in a lot of work. 

[Brotato]

At what pace are you developing this game and when can we expect to see the first real fief management aspects?

[Seamas]

I'm impressed how much progress you've made since the early project days.  Keep up the good work; you'll get to that fief eventually.

Yes, every game is better when it's harder to look at! /s

In all seriousness, it's already a tile-based game with an engine that supports sprite graphics. There's absolutely no need for it to devolve into ASCII. Don't get me wrong; ASCII serves its purpose when engine limitations are a concern. But no game should strive to be less accessible just because it's the hipster way.

[The Darkling Wolf]

PTW, was watching the old thread with interest.

[DoomOnion]

I don't think hipster's the right word here, I mean, you can't deny that ASCII looks a whole lot better than some shoddy, unpolished, elementary drawings.
