Fantasy World Manager changes
Steam post imageDEMO OUT NOW!
After many months of work, I'm excited to finally say that the Fantasy World Manager demo is now available.
This is the first time players can get their hands on the game and start experimenting with the worldbuilding and simulation systems I've been working on.
The demo includes a full tutorial, a demo world, and a large portion of the game's foundation. While there is still a lot more content planned for Early Access, I wanted to make sure there was already enough here for players to build worlds, create races, design factions, and experience the core simulation.
80,000 Wishlists
I also wanted to take a moment to say thank you.
The game recently passed 80,000 wishlists, which is honestly a number I never expected to reach this early.
Seeing so many people interested in the project has been incredibly motivating and has made the long development days much easier.
Thank you to everyone who has wishlisted the game, shared it with friends, or followed the development updates.
Feedback Is Extremely Important
One of the main reasons for releasing this demo is to gather feedback.
Fantasy World Manager is a massive project with a lot of interconnected systems, and player feedback helps me understand what works, what doesn't, and where development should focus next.
If you try the demo, please let me know what you think through:

I read everything, even if I can't always reply immediately.

Known Issues
A few quick notes before you jump in:
There is currently an issue with the quest system that may cause heroes and soldiers to behave unexpectedly. A fix is already in the works and should be available shortly.
Not all classes are currently available in the demo. Additional classes will be rolled out progressively over the coming days.
Steam Deck is currently not supported.
The Road To Early Access
The demo is only the beginning.
There are still many systems, classes, editor themes, visuals, simulation features, and quality-of-life improvements planned before Early Access.
Over the coming months I'll continue expanding the game, gathering feedback, and sharing development updates as I work toward the Early Access launch.
For now, I hope you enjoy the demo and I can't wait to see the worlds you create.
Thank you for all the support.
