'Beaver city builder' is a delightful combination of words, and I'm glad I get to keep using it, because it seems that Steam's top seller charts alongside its debut in Early Access, and now we know exactly what that means in concrete .
After one week in Early Access, Timberborn sold 130,000 units on Steam, as developer Mechanistry has announced in a press release. Those sales are spread across Steam, GOG, and Epic. The game has also just cracked a 95% positive rating in reviews, which puts that lovely 'overwhelmingly positive' label on the Steam store page.
Early Access for Timberborn is scheduled to last for at least a year. Right now, the devs are focused on improving the tutorial and building out the save system, so that the game can cloud saves and GeForce Now in the future.
Check out a trailer below.
