EmpireCraft Studios and Publisher Toplitz Productions celebrate Wild West Pioneers launch in Early Access. Classic city-builder invites players to the American gold rush times. The developers plan to remain in Early Access for approximately one year. However, they already presented a roadmap, setting plan for production chains, advanced buildings, transportation methods, random events, and map variety.
Since launch, two hotfixes have addressed save game issues, spinning residents, workshop production, and quest fixes
Wild West Pioneers blends traditional city building mechanics with a story-rich narrative and exploration of the untamed frontier. Players lead a group of pioneers westward, establishing settlements. They have to manage production chains, protect their followers and lead them to the better life.
