Havenstead

Welcome to Havenstead — a cozy town-builder where strategy and charm go hand-in-hand. Build a thriving village, gather resources, trade with travelers, and balance the needs of your villagers as your settlement grows! Main Features:

• Strategic, yet Approachable – Dive into the charming town-building vibe, while still balancing supply, demand, and long-term planning with intuitive mechanics that do not require constant micro-management. 
• Grid-Based Building System - Smooth building placement & removal with a dedicated grid system. 

• Cozy & Immersive – Watch everything come alive throughout the town. Take a moment to watch the Fields growing during Spring, Cows grazing at your Cattle Ranches, a Villager chopping down a Tree - or better yet, enjoying an Ale! 
• Villagers Automatically Perform Their Tasks - Manage your Villagers with the Job Board, and keep track of everything in your Town with in-game overlays. 

• Happiness Rating System – A dynamic “happiness” score influenced by population size, available supplies, town wealth, commodities like ale, and luxury items.
• Trade & Unique Items – Traveling traders will visit your town periodically for limited amounts of time. You can trade goods and purchase rare items such as chests with random rewards, rare scrolls unlocking special blueprints, and artifacts like chalices or statues that provide permanent buffs.
