As one would expect from a beaver game, the wood industry is a key player too but it’s not just about sawmills and lodges – Timberborn colonies grow vertically, layer by layer with platforms and bridges.” Dawidow finishes with a comment aimed at our world. The game enters Early Access after years of development.Īccording to lead designer, Bartlomiej Dawidow, “The two beaver factions play completely different but both make good use of Timberborn’s unique take on the city-building genre – here, water engineering with dams and water physics dictates the success. Mechanistry developers are very proud of how much they have implemented in the game.
Both factions share the goal of surviving and expanding in a world hit by harsh, recurring dry seasons.
Both factions boasts unique architecture and plays differently thanks to exclusive faction buildings. Timberborn allows players to play either as the nature-friendly Folktails or the industrious Iron Teeth. The game presents a feasible vision of a post human Earth where beaver factions reign supreme, enduring deadly droughts with the help of dams, irrigation, and mechanized vertical cities.
