Keen Software House announces Medieval Engineers, a second "engineering" game from the developer who already brought us Space Engineers. That game sold over one million units and now they are looking to follow that success by taking the series from the future into the past. The game is currently in the alpha stage, and the plan is to launch this down the road as an early access title on Steam. Their announcement video includes alpha gameplay footage showing off the game's creative mode, castle building, trebuchet construction, destruction and physics, and more. "We are very curious to see how the Space Engineers community will react to Medieval Engineers and if other communities will also get interested in our new title," says Marek Rosa, CEO and Founder of Keen Software House. "We didn’t want to only keep creating space games. Instead we wanted to have a game where players can interact with life and nature. By creating a second engineering game, we are also leveraging our existing technology and experience." Here's more:

Medieval Engineers is a sandbox game about engineering, construction and the maintenance of architectural works and mechanical equipment using medieval technology. Players build cities, castles and fortifications; construct mechanical devices and engines; perform landscaping and underground mining.

Medieval Engineers is inspired by real medieval technology and the way people built architectural and mechanical works in medieval times. Medieval Engineers strives to follow the laws of physics and real history and doesn't use technologies that were not available in 5th to 15th century.
