Keepshore

You never lose the shores you leave.

Keepshore is a calm 3D town-builder that spans nine ages of human ingenuity — from one thatched hut on a wild coast to a gas-lit city of iron, glass and electric light.

Raise buildings. Staff them with people who have names. Wire raw goods into production chains, sell into a market that actually moves, and grow a settlement you're proud to look at.

No combat. No failure state. No timers you have to pay to skip. Just the town you're building — and the next good idea you have for it.

• Build from a catalog of 600+ hand-made buildings across nine ages

• Grow a living town of villagers with names, moods, jobs and opinions

• Leave — settling a new island is the only way to advance the age, and every island you leave keeps paying you forever

Start with a hut. End with a city.

Every game begins the same humble way: an empty, procedurally generated island and one place to put your first home. People move in. Producers staff themselves. Goods start landing in the storehouse without a single click of harvesting.

Then the questions get interesting. Where should the watermill go? Which producers want to sit shoulder-to-shoulder? What is this whole quarter waiting on?

• Terrain matters. Every producer has ground it loves — a quarry on rocky hill, a saltern on sand. The Build menu tells you the bonus before you place it.

• Placement is a puzzle. Workshop districts, supply chains, comfort venues, roads, rail and the electric grid all reward the shape of your town, not just its size.

• Bottlenecks glow. A producer that's starving floats a red ember; one with no worker glows amber. Click it and the panel names the exact good it's short of.

• Buildings improve by working. Mastery stars accrue on their own; paid upgrades stack on top; a perfected building picks a permanent Mastery Path.

Ore into ingots into tools. Grain into flour into bread. Over a hundred and fifty goods, wired together into chains you can read at a glance.

Nine ages — and you leave every one behind

Ages don't unlock from a menu. An island is locked forever to the age you settled it in. To reach the next age you must earn your Settlement Charter, load the boats, and sail for a brand-new island.

When you go, the old island freezes exactly as you left it — you can never return to it. You carry a quarter of its stockpile as a launch grant, and from that day it sends a daily tribute home to your treasury. Forever.

Nine islands, nine ages, one kingdom. Stone. Bronze. Iron. Classical. Medieval. Renaissance. Enlightenment. Steam. Electric.

Each age is its own world of buildings, goods and problems — bronze smelters and salt pans, guild halls and windmills, printing houses and observatories, foundries and railway stations, telephone exchanges and power stations. Nothing past 1899. No magic, no future tech.

Night is not just darker. Forges throw sparks, cathedral glass burns, salon lanterns drift, marquees chase around the picture-house, and searchlights rake the sky over the aerodrome.

No two islands. No two runs.

Every island is generated fresh — a wandering coastline of coves, bays and lagoons, with rivers, lakes, headlands and highlands, drawn across six climates from tropical to subarctic to arid. Your town looks completely different depending on where you land.

A town full of people who notice you

Your villagers aren't a population counter. They have names, vocations, dispositions and moods. They wander, they talk, they comment on what you just built. You can rename them, favourite them, and follow one across the island.

Name your island. Name your neighbourhoods. Raise a Heraldry Hall and your realm becomes a noble House with a name and a motto — and from then on your own household rides at the head of the age's great spectacles, and its words ring out over the field when it wins.

Something is always happening

Travellers turn up at the quay with a choice to make. Market days spike. A gambler offers you a pot and a chance to press your luck. A rainbow pays out. The chronicle records a small kindness by name. Sometimes the world just goes strange for a week.

And every age has its own signature spectacle, gated behind a building you chose to raise:

• The Great Hunt — Stone. The hunters come home with a rotating quarry, and roughly one in five is legendary.

• The Great Moot — Bronze. The kindreds gather, and one of them takes the honour.

• The Oenach — Iron. The clans muster at the standing stones for the great assembly.

• The Games — Classical. Chariots, athletes and the olive crown, with a rotating victor faction.

• The Grand Tourney — Medieval. Jousts and craft contests, and a champion guild crowned.

• The Carnevale — Renaissance. Masques and cloth-of-gold over the playhouse.

• The Balloon Ascent & the Salon — Enlightenment. Montgolfier marvels and the brightest evening in town.

• The Grand Exposition — Steam. A World's Fair whose grandeur scales with the city you raised.

• The Air Show…
