I can’t believe it’s been exactly one year since the first trailer, and this game was still in the back of my mind recently, but I could not remember the name of it. Thank you for showcasing it once more and reminding me. Hope the game is a success.
SCAM ALERT: BE AWARE! I hate to say it but after reading the Steam store description this game seems like a scam to me. It's allegedly being made by two people with probably very little experience in game dev outside of games commonly made in China (F2P FPS games, mobile gacha). They are apparently making this massive, EXTREMELY ambitious "be anything, do anything" sandbox RPG with thousands upon thousands of unique items, CRPG questing where choices matter, factions and reputation, city simulation/planning, business management, extremely in-depth building creator with thousands upon thousands of unique furniture pieces, agriculture and livestock farming/breeding with realistic temperature/soil type/water mechanics, satisfying combat, etc. DO NOT GIVE THESE PEOPLE A PENNY. What they have is a highly-curated UE5 demo presentation and nothing else. They tried a kickstarter last year asking for $80,000, they are likely to start their begging campaign again. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
The name is very hard to remember for some reason. I also forgot it multiple times over the year and had to search for the game based on keywords. I suppose the word "bustling" is just so uncommon. Maybe it's not too late to change the title?

You guys are really marketing this as an "everything you want you can do" game, huh. Really hoping you get the balance between all the themes right, this is right up my alley.
If I get to play this I just want to be a reclusive farmer in a remote village. Gonna be a loner or a newlywed who just started my own small family, and together with the villagers, build the village from scratch until we could establish a trading route to a bigger town. No big missions, just le ole farming (and cooking if possible) sim.
Since the first trailer, I think about this game more than once a week. I am so starved of good systems based simulation games. This seems like its like the guild 2 but with proper RPG elements and stuff. I am so stoked.
Looks amazing! I think the art style is great. The game seems very ambitious too. The Tang Dynasty is an overlooked era in pop culture. I ought to read up more on it.
I wish the devs did a dev diary videos and talk about their ideas they want to implement in more detail. It looks great with amazing stylization and very interesting combination of features, but I have more questions than answers. My main questions are: -How deep the economy in the game will be? -Will there be some unique companions with their own background and unique character? -Does the world change on it's own without player's effect similiar to Kenshi? -How deep is the dialogue system with npcs? -How deep are the gameplay mechanics, any skill tree for example? -Are there any side quests and if yes, what's their variety and depth? -From the previous trailer we saw that we can have some sort of your own "kingdom" - what's the depth of player's control over it? I don't mean base building, but for example how deep we can play with the diplomacy? Can player name and design the banners your Kingdom will use? -Since we can own a a shop, how about a workshop, brothel or casiono? How about hiring workers? How about making a whole company, owning dozens of lands and buildings or caravans that will earn money?
My initial thought during the first 2 minutes: what a beautiful cozy RTS/RPG game, then 2:14 happens: GTA acion medieval chinese game!!??? take my money!!!
Very impressive. But I wonder how many scripts would be running in a typical setting. Wonder how high the PC specifications would be. Looks gorgeous like a Chinese painting come to life ! Please set the price of the game fitting for each country !

Looks pretty great. It's tough to tell what combat is really like from this footage. It shows stealth well enough though. This setting seems really unique though. Reminds me of old Jet Li movies.
mother of god, this game look asthonishing. The sims + emperor + sim city + ultima + diablo + trades empires + patrician + dynasty warrior... I cant believe they make it today. Its is a PC 90s game next step, like no one other I see in the last 15 years. And only 20gb? why none company make this ultima online rpg single player before? I dont know none game with that concept of "ultima online" but in single player.
Honestly mind blown by the scope this trailer presents. I haven't been as hyped for a video game premise in years. This reminds me a lot of Kenshi, atleast with the open world freedom of choice im seeing. Looking forward to more updates. Is there anywhere to join a waiting list for alphas/betas? I tried googling for a website or mailing list etc and couldn't find one.
I always wanted an open world RPG where you can do everything, I didn't expect that the closest thing to this would come from a Chinese studio, with the little experience they have and with the government restrictions, at the moment there is no blood or nudity, it could be such a beautiful game... By the way, on Steam the game is in the most spoken languages except Spanish, it would be stupid if you didn't add it as soon as possible, Steam does not recommend the game to those who have the language filter on.
This is how it should be done, no unnecessary talks like western devs simply keeping the head down and working in silence then showing the results when it is ready, You guys deserve all the success that'll come to you in the near future 👍

That's why Steam wishlists and YT favourite lists exist.
@@ciaacho1 so is the word Fortnite and yet that became popular and it isn't even spelled correctly as in the English word Fortnight.
@legionofrome2967 it's one word and it's a lot easier to say. And it ties in to the fort building mechanic.

I hope people wanting combat don’t ruin the chance for an amazing peaceful life sim for the rest of us
Damn, these are some of the coolest graphics I've ever seen. It's like an ancient Chinese painting come to life. You bet I'm going to play this...
If I get to play this I just want to be a reclusive farmer in a remote village.

Oppressive emperor does stupid things, you rage, lead an angry band of farmers into rebellion - become emperor.
One of my favorite games of 2025, love the Chinese ancient theme, this is a gem that a lot of people don't know!
Since the first trailer, I think about this game more than once a week. I am so starved of good systems based simulation games. This seems like its like the guild 2 but with proper RPG elements and stuff. I am so stoked.
"Holy shit. This guy is taking Roy off the grid. This guy doesn't have a social security number for Roy."
Excellent. This is one of my most anticipated games! If you guys were to release an official modding toolkit, this game would have infinite potential
Was not expecting the GTA twist. 2:12
GTH (Grand Theft Horse)
Kenshi-Bannerlord hybrid
GTE Grand Theft Equine
@@jasonbelstone3427With a dash of The Sims and Sim City.

You can even change the design and color to remove 5 stars from Imperial Guards
I really want this game to be a thing, but its too complex for todays standard to even imagine this being a real thing with all promises kept
Looks amazing! I think the art style is great. The game seems very ambitious too.
The Tang Dynasty is an overlooked era in pop culture. I ought to read up more on it.
Look at the officials and their REALLY wide ears. Probably sometime between that and Northern Song.
Good luck devs, there is a lot of potential here, hope you manage to seize it!
The most beautiful and detailed town builder sim I have ever seen. Wishlisted and eagerly waiting for release or a demo.

Damn the game looks better every new trailer
This is honestly my most anticipated game atm. I may have gasped multiple times watching this trailer 🤯
Love that no machine generated content is used! Keep it up devs ❤
Take your time with this kind of deep mechanic game like this with this much anticipation just refine your work don’t rush it with intense schedule
I found out about your project about a year ago in steam,and I want to say that you are cool and I'm looking forward to the release.
My number ONE game on Steam Wishlist.
Is it an rpg? A city building game? An isometric point and click? A platforming game? An RTS?
Devs: Yes.
I broke my finger wishlisting this game
Utterly beautiful. Each frame a painting. Hope your game does well.
This looks amazing can’t wait to play it !!
I've been waiting for any updates since they announced it last year. I'm excited to try this out when it releases!!!
This absolutely blows up the entire SIMs franchise sky High. 😂
This game looks crazy, sure hope the gameplay holds up. Can't wait to try it
My initial thought during the first 2 minutes: what a beautiful cozy RTS/RPG game, then 2:14 happens: GTA acion medieval chinese game!!??? take my money!!!
Incredible things are happening in China
always have been
🌎👨🚀🔫👨🚀🌑
The whole world is being poisoned by the western propaganda scourge about China. Good to see comments like this.
i hope their game industry grow more and more, they are bringing quite a good perspective into the industry.
Very impressive. But I wonder how many scripts would be running in a typical setting. Wonder how high the PC specifications would be. Looks gorgeous like a Chinese painting come to life ! Please set the price of the game fitting for each country !

Going with fake until there's gameplay from multiple trusted outlets
This reminds me of Kenshi- in the sense of having a dynamic world you can mess around in. Hope it ends up being good.

Hmmm. Looks like a game that I might play for thousand hours in total. Chinese devs are bringing good stuffs day by day
Have you removed the borders since the first trailer ? it doesn't look exactly the same
incredible, fantastic, Great job !!
I'm very curious about character customisation (if there is one). This is looks beautiful!
