Indie developer Dark Shift Games has announced Colonial Winds, a new minimalist city builder set during the golden age of imperialism.
Colonial Winds is in development for Windows PC (via Steam), though a release date wasn’t announced.
Here’s a rundown on the game, plus its reveal trailer:
Grow your colony from a small outpost into a thriving nation in this city-building game. Step into the shoes of a colonial governor as you build production chains, establish trade, meet the needs of your citizens, and guide your settlement toward self-rule.
Features
- Become an Economic Powerhouse – New territories offer vast opportunities. Harvest crops, extract natural resources, and build production chains to transform them into valuable goods. Establish trade routes to export surplus products and import what your colony lacks, building a prosperous and resilient economy.
- Take Care of Your People – As governor, you are responsible for the well-being of your citizens. Meet their economic and social needs, provide housing, create jobs, and supply the growing demand for better goods and services. Your choices shape the growth and development of the settlement.
- Balance Loyalty and Ambition – You do not rule alone. A distant imperial power oversees your colony and expects your obedience. Will you meet the crown’s expectations, and remain a loyal governor, or will you choose your people and pursue self-rule? But beware, the path to independence will not be granted freely. Will you leverage your economic power to break free, or take up arms in rebellion?
