Timberborn, a booming beaver-themed city builder, has sold over 1 million copies since its Early Access launch in September 2021. Despite its popularity, developer Mechanistry has not yet set a date for the full release. With recent updates adding new construction options and enhancing gameplay, community sentiment is urging the developers to consider a 1.0 version. However, developers emphasize the game's readiness over speed, valuing community feedback to refine gameplay features that resonate with players. This iterative development approach supports a connection between players and creators, enriching the game experience.
"Especially after update 6 and update 7, the number of people telling us that in their opinion the game is ready for 1.0 - that's skyrocketed," Amielanczyk said. "But honestly, we are going to take as much time as we need to make the game worthy of that 1.0 label."
"It's a formula that allows us to test out some ideas with the community and iterate upon the reactions that they will have to that," Bociek said. "Because sometimes people use tools that we give them in ways that surprise even us, and we just make that an even stronger part of the feature."
