Thankfully for all of us, people seldom make intelligent choices.

It Takes a Tribe is a single player strategy in which you lead a tribe of prehistoric nomads on a journey from survival to a unique tribal culture.

Will you be hunters or gatherers? Shamans or builders?

Good thing we are making a prehistoric game in an ice-age setting. This will be great for inspiration! 😀

Thank you very much!

It's still work in progress, we are currently having a go at some of the terrain geometry around cliffs and mountains.

"It Take a Tribe" ecosystem simulation in action.

Herbivores huddle as they escape the local heat-wave (visualization for temperature is still WIP). This makes them perfect targets for predators to strike, thrive and grow in number.

Thank you very much for your kind words! This means the world to us.

Not yet, but we will. We are currently knee deep in playtesting, analytics and implementing the missing systems. We will start some kind of devlog where we will talk about procgen, yes. This is a theme very dear to us.

Cool! The peninsula with mountains, the lakes, the rugged coast!

Something like that. But the focus is on survival and PVE, you are the first and only humans in the world, trying to tell their story.
