Foundation | Firsts | Feb 2025

Welcome to the second episode of Firsts! This month, we are playing Foundation. A medieval city builder and resource management game with unique pathing, zoning and monument building. The game is celebrating the full release as of January 31, 2025 after being in early access for over 5 years! I hope you enjoy this gameplay footage.
This footage was recorded in the Full Release Demo Version before the Full Release date and includes some Early Access footage for comparison.

Played Foundation yesterday for the first time since about April 2023.
The game has matured so much since the last time I played.
Really enjoying the game.
Loved the experimentation in this video! Such a cozy game, would love to see more.

Yes! It's such a big improvement from Early Access. The UI and the graphics are wonderful. I knew when I first tried it back in 2019 that it was something special but it had a long way to go. I'm really glad the developers stuck with it.
