At the start of April we stop adding systems to Age of Medieval. In studio language this is a feature freeze, and it is the least glamorous milestone there is.
The reason is arithmetic. Every new system touches the old ones: removing a cap on builders once made a castle go up in a single day. With seven weeks left, a surprise like that is a risk we can no longer afford. A fix has a known size. A feature does not.
So from April the work is of three kinds: fixing what players and our probes report, tuning what is slow or unclear, and translating the last lines. The whole battery of tests runs before any build leaves the studio, as it does today.
Ideas do not stop arriving in April, of course. They go on a list for after release.
Age of Medieval is developed by UnderStudio in UnderStudio 2D and published by Brasa Interactive. It releases on 17 May 2027.
