Today marks the release of Manor Lords, which Epic calls a “demonstration of the graphics capabilities of the Unreal Engine.”

The game launches today on Steam Early Access. The project is of high interest due to the large number of additions to the desired list.

In addition to the first positive ratings from publications, the game is being promoted by Epic, which chose Manor Lords as the latest demonstration of the capabilities of Unreal Engine 4 technology. Epic in the description of the latest video emphasized the fact that the project was created by one developer who works for himself, and Unreal Engine it is a friendly tool for game developers that allows you to create beautiful graphics even in indie projects.

In addition to the video, Epic prepared an interview with Gregor Stychen, who said that he began his journey in game development with RPG Maker 2000, and named Stronghold: Crusader, BfME, Knights & Merchants and The Settlers as his biggest inspirations. The developer also said that in the future he would like to port Manor Lords from Unreal Engine 4 to Unreal Engine 5, which will require a calm approach and time.
