Survive a Medieval Scotland - Clanfolk game gets a major update

Clanfolk, the medieval Scottish colony sim inspired by Rimworld, has delivered its largest ever demo update in preparation for its Early Access launch this Spring. Its developer, MinMax Games, offers players fully revamped character graphics, the opportunity to meet neighbouring Clans, craft clothing, use new construction tools, build a custom 'Claner' and try fresh items to create the perfect Scottish homestead.

A key addition to Clanfolk’s latest update are fresh map creation tools. With each procedurally generated map, players can now spend points to change the percentage of mountains, lakes, forests, grassland, and wildlife. Points will need to be balanced, which will lead to some sliders being higher than others. A further feature is custom clan creation, that provides pre-set family tree scenarios and the opportunity to create one from the ground up, with each member having their own unique abilities that will develop over time.
