It's Kickstarter goal was surpassed and the game will be released in June 2014.

Looks very interesting. One I'll follow.

Crap! I meant to KS it! I will be content with getting it like everyone else. That is a LONG time away.

a Spacesector interview with Conifer Games on At the Gates.

I didn't get in on the Kickstarter, but am looking forward to this one.

Nice to see games like this can make it with kickstarter.

That does look like a good game.  I'm intrigued with campaigning ferociously before winter sets in.  Plus, not that this matters, the team working on this project look cool.

To add icing to the cake, Jon Shafer posted: "AtG will be available DRM-free from our website. We're hoping to release on Steam, but the game won't require it in any way."

I am very much looking forward to At the Gates.
Regardless of how good a PC game may be it will always have its detractors and no matter how bad a PC game may be it will always have its fans.

Well its been some time since I've heard anything about this one, but a long Lets Play video covering the first year of game time has been released.  He says in the video its still in alpha, so I don't expect we'll be seeing this one anytime soon.

Interesting looking game.  The video is over an hour long....does anyone actually watch it from start to finish? I tend to click along the line at the bottom watching a minute or so here and there, maybe 5 to 10 minutes total.  Just curious.

unless i got it wrong the map area seems to be the same size at the start as it does at the end - so it could be a long involved game

Why have I not yet squeed this game yet??

Incidentally, I got a bit of a Balor of the Evil Eye vibe from this game. Anyone else remember that?

I actually did watch the whole video and really liked what I saw...wishing I'd backed the Kickstarter now, but will definitively be picking this one up when it comes out.  Some interesting features:  changing seasons reflected on the map, less movement penalty to cross a frozen river vs unfrozen, you can/will eventually be required to pack up your encampment and move when you deplete nearby resources.  I also really liked the water color-type graphics...
