NOBLE FATES New Fantasy Kingdom Management Sim Heading to Steam Early Access Dec. 14

Check Out the Noble Fates Announce Trailer:

Xobermon LLC, a team of veteran game developers, have announced their flagship title, Noble Fates, a 3D fantasy kingdom management sim driven by intelligent characters with a rich simulation of opinions and memories. Build, craft, farm, mine, hunt, defend, and more! Command from the sky or take control in third person as your story goes where the people, your actions, and their reactions take it. 

Inspired by the depth and fun of Rimworld and the brutal clash of ambition, intrigue, and violence from Game of Thrones, Noble Fates charges players with building a kingdom worthy of lasting recognition. The player’s story begins when  several outcasts from a nearby procedurally generated kingdom stumble across a crown. The player chooses their ruler and what to do with any who oppose them. 
 
Mortals in Noble Fates have diverse opinions and long-term memories where they remember the interactions that have impacted them the most. Did you butcher their friend? Steal their supplies? Tend their wounds? Honor them at a great feast? Make them eat human flesh? They remember. They talk about it. Everyone reacts. 
 
The player recruits Nobles to grow their kingdom’s ranks. They’ll distribute wealth to satisfy ambitions; decide the fates of mortals when things go wrong; defend their kingdom from threats and foster relationships with their neighbors. They’ll bask in the adoration and appreciation of a generous reign or face the consequences of living as a tyrant. The story continues as long as there is someone left to wear the crown!
