How's the game development process?
It has been over a month without any news on the game's development progress. First and foremost, we are sorry to have left you without any information about the current state of development of the game, as well as its release date. Despite this, the development of the game was in full swing. And so, the Early Access version of the game with lots of features that were lacking in the Demo is almost ready now.
What are the newly made game features?
We've taken into account the feedback of every player in the discussions. Here's the list:
- An interactive game tutorial. It will take through the main game mechanics such as expanding the village, upgrading buildings & resources, and receiving adjacency bonuses.
- Improved 3D models of objects. It is now easy to distinguish one building from another. Every model is now better optimized (lowered the number of triangles).
- Third-level buildings & resources are now available. In the Demo, only two levels were available, which created confusion when you tried to upgrade something to a third level.
- Get extra houses in exchange for olives and grapes. If your village has enough olives and grapes, you can buy houses with them. The price will gradually rise.
- UI Improvements. When you choose where to place an object, its potential neighbors (that will receive adjacency bonuses) will be highlighted in green. When you form a triangle of objects, they will be highlighted in green so that you'll know they will level up. You can also click on any building or resource to see how many score points it gives.
- Limited amount of undos. Unhappy with the positioning of your building or resource? You can now undo your last action and place the object again somewhere else.
- Steam Achievements and Steam Leaderboards.
- ...and more!
Early Access release date
The game will unlock on December 10, 2021, at approximately 12:00 AM PST.

Today was released an Early Demo version of Magna Graecia, which shows its core gameplay features, as part of the Steam Next Fest. The road to a Full release is thorny. There is still a lot to be done - from the UI enhancement and implementation of plenty of new features to optimization of the game for low-end PCs. Throughout this week the demo version will get small updates and patches every day. It is planned to make it available for macOS and Linux users too. It should be noted that there may be disgusting bugs - please report them to the specially created thread in the discussions.

Magna Graecia is a game that lets you create unique ever-growing farming villages set in ancient Greek style. In this game, you have to transform a lonely house into a charming hamlet by placing your buildings strategically, raising their level, receiving various adjacency bonuses, and expanding your territory. Magna Graecia is suitable for both who want to relax, slowly filling their village with olives and grapes, and those who want to test their strategic thinking because every ill-conceived building can be one of the last in your Greek village.
You start the game with one house in the center and six empty hexagonal tiles around it, which you have to fill using a randomly generated sequence of buildings and resources: crop field, winery, forest, and so on, gaining points along the way. To expand your village, you need to build a house that adds all adjacent tiles to the territory of the Greek hamlet. In this game, you can (and should!) level up houses, wineries, and olive farms. Leveling up mechanics are simple: 3 same first-level buildings, where each is adjacent to the other two, turn into one second-level building, which gives you amazing bonuses. For example, a second-level house adds all adjacent tiles in a radius of 2 to the village (the radius is doubled). The game ends when the limit on houses is exhausted and all tiles in your village are filled with buildings and resources.
There are two key resources in the game – olives and grapes. We can say that this is the real pride of your Greek hamlet. You should place olives and grapes on the adjacent tiles to olive farms and wineries respectively because adjacency bonuses play a very important role here: each resource gives +1 by default, and for each farm adjacent to it, this indicator increases by 1. Farms level up the same way as houses. Their radius of influence and adjacency bonuses will be doubled (now +2!), significantly increasing production in the village. Remember, that's a very powerful tool. By placing buildings correctly, you will literally become an olive oil and wine tycoon, thereby adding a lot of points to the overall rating of your village, which will show at the end of the game, how well you did in creating a Greek farming village.
Magna Graecia offers you:
- Evaluating different options. Should I place it here? Or here?
- Reflection process. There is no timer. No one is rushing you.
- Overcoming yourself. Wanna beat your previous score? Do it.
- Free camera. You can just stop playing and fly around the village.
- Growing olives and grapes. This is the most important.
Magna Graecia does not offer you:
- Triple-A game experience
- A cinematic story
- Microtransactions
- Character customization
- Battle royale
Game mechanics are inspired by Dorfromantik and Triple Town.
Graphic design is inspired by Islanders and Kingdoms and Castles.
