About us.

We are a small team who love games. Village and city builders, strategy and management games, family sagas, the cosy kind you can play slowly. We have been playing them for a long time.

Alderfolk started with a gap. We kept looking for a calm village builder where people matter as much as buildings, where a family grows, changes and hands its home on, and we could not find quite the one we wanted. So we started making it.

By day we are the team at CYOPS. By evening, with the kids finally asleep, we are the people arguing about where the bakery should go. We bring a love of how systems fit together, a habit of making things families can share, and a fussiness about small details. Every build gets tested on our own families, who are kind, honest, and have very strong opinions about bread.

We hope the first ten minutes feel calm and a little curious. You found a village, you meet a few neighbours, and you want to see what happens next. Alderfolk will never be cruel just to shock you. It is a gentle game, and we want to keep it that way.
