I have played quite a few city building and management strategy games in the past, but I can´t say that I´ve seen or heard of all that many city building and management games which focuses on floating communities. Well, that just happens to be the case in Cosy Goat´s upcoming game “Seasteader“. So I´m very happy to inform you all that the game will drop on Steam on the 24th of February. Yes, you read it right, because Cosy Goat just dropped the great news via twitter:

You heard the lady, so keep your eyes open for “Seasteader” on Steam!

Awesome indeed, but what exactly is “Seasteader” all about then? Well, this is the actual game description by Cosy Goat (the developers of the game):

“Set on the wide open ocean, Seasteader is a city building and management strategy game that allows you to develop and rule over your own seastead, a floating community. Your aim is to create a prosperous and thriving society, using your production and manufacturing capabilities to create goods and sell them on the global market. The profits can then be invested back into improving the lives of your seasteaders or increasing your industrial capacity. The most important resource, however, is not a product, but your seasteaders themselves. As well as paying them wages and taking (or not taking) money from them for rent and food, you also need to ensure their happiness, as measured by 8 separate metrics. Each individual also has unique skills that make them better suited to some jobs over others. In the end, the degree to which you wish to micromanage the game or let it run its own course is entirely up to you. There are no right or wrong ways of playing.” – Cosy Goat

In “Seasteader” you can creat your own floating communities.

So, what about features then? Well, these are the said features that will be available on launch:

Features:
– Campaign featuring 15 missions of increasing difficulty
– System for crafting your own unique custom missions
– Sandbox mode where you can build to your heart’s content
– An economic system with 17 goods to produce, buy and sell
– 30 buildings in five different categories – production, manufacturing, housing, entertainment and infrastructure
– 8 different happiness metrics for your seasteaders
– Extensive modding support – almost everything is stored in easily editable txt files

I´m just waiting for Kevin Costner to show up with his ship and crew (“Water World” joke).

Well, there you have it folks =) So I wish Cosy Goat the best of luck with their release of “Seasteader”! (you can watch the latest “Seasteader” video down below).

And with that said, what do you think about the game so far? Let us know your thoughts in the comment section down below!
