Overview

Kingdom.py is a fresh take on the town-building genre, blending casual strategy with real programming.

Developed and published by Kingdom Labs, this indie simulation launched on Steam on November 5, 2026. Instead of clicking buttons to construct buildings, you write Python scripts that control your hero's every action.

The game supports a wide range of languages, including English, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, and more, making it accessible to a global audience.

Highlights

  • Code-Driven Gameplay: You start with a small island, a hero, and a file called main.py. Commands like change_profession(Builder) and build(House, 3, 4) are executed line by line, with the editor highlighting each line as it runs.
  • Interactive Feedback: If a line of code is incorrect, the game points it out and explains the issue in plain language, making it a gentle introduction to programming.
  • Complex Economy: Your town's economy depends on your scripts. Houses pay taxes only when collected, lumberyards need groves, fields must be sown and harvested before grain rots, and bakeries turn grain and wood into bread. Mines consume bread, and smithies turn iron into tools—all managed through your code.

Who It's For

Kingdom.py is perfect for players who enjoy strategy and simulation games but also have an interest in programming.

It's equally appealing to coders looking for a playful way to practice Python and to newcomers who want to learn programming basics in a fun, low-pressure environment. The game's single-player, self-paced nature means you can take your time experimenting with scripts without any timed pressure.
