Game Overview & History
Set in the 16th century, Pioneers is an atmospheric turn-based exploration/adventure RPG where you lead a party of travellers in search of treasure-rich temples, new tribes and ways to go down in history – ways to go beyond the horizon. To achieve all that you complete quests building up your reputation to become a sought out explorer by kings and commoners alike.
You set out promising your father to become someone, to make him proud but not all goes like planned in life, does it? On the way you’ll meet many interesting characters, solve challenging puzzles and face all that nature has to offer, be it finding and collecting food and building a shelter to survive harsh winters or facing against a pack of wolves in the densest of forests.

The game is still very much in development, so most of the story and not all key features have been implemented and great many tweaks are to be made, but it still packs a whole lot of fun and stuff to do. Your feedback is crucial to shaping this into the best Pioneers I know Pioneers could be. Your support will help get it there.
Release & Industry Impact
If you have any feedback or problems to report, please post in the official game forum. I will start logging my development more thoroughly in there as well.
