About Mountaincore

Mountaincore is a game of designing and building a burgeoning colony in a deeply-simulated fantasy world.

Current Features

  • Start with 7 dwarves but you can build and support a population of hundreds
  • A simulated world with changing weather and seasons that have a big impact on gameplay
  • Every one of your settlers has their own needs and desires to fulfil as they work together for the common good
  • A deep crafting tree that leaves no natural resource unused, tied together into satisfying production chains
  • Progress through skill tiers to craft better tools and weapons
  • Trade with merchants to increase your wealth even further
  • Form up and train your military to battle monsters and invaders...
  • ...or play in Peaceful Mode to chill out with a relaxing city-builder experience
  • Twitch integration (using viewer names for settlers) to encourage stream audience interaction
  • Built "Mod-first" so that everything is moddable

Now released as open source

  • As the developer for this game has shut down, we've decided to release it as free to play and also open source under a very permissive license. We hope you enjoy!

    The game works on Steam Deck, in fact we believe it should qualify for full compatibility, however we are waiting on Valve for an official Steam Deck compatibility review.

Its a bit glitchy in startup and quitting. Have to force quit every time because it just hangs. Has an error for saving the game fairly often and flashes a message on screen. From that point on it wont save and you need to reload the game. The last time this happened, it completely deleted my save game directory and file somehow. I lost 30 hours of gameplay and really dont want to start again.

The tutorial is basically useless tok me 4 colonies that starved to get something that works and after 18 hours I would say I know most things but the game always finds new ways to screw me over. The game is good like really good. It has mechanics I won't spoil for anyone new but things you definitely wouldn't expect at first. Overall I'm having a great time playing it. Having small lag during winter on a medium map and max speed and max zoom out but its not much.
