Is it similar to Banished or SimCity?

Yay! More games like this please!!

I love Foundation and Dawn of Man, and this will be a wonderful addition!!

Has anyone tried both this and Foundation and is willing to compare/contrast and describe the current status? I usually wait until after release but I really like builder games (plus they are less spoily to try early). Tropico 6 didn't like my system and Smart City Plan is just a mobile immitation of a real game so I am tempted to try one or both of these now. I like builders with a "just build" philosophy that don't try to make things challenging just for the sake of being challenging.

Looking at the screenshots and videos the art style is obviously different; I like the look of Ostriv much better but wouldn't avoid Foundation over that. Also, the Foundation video is useless, although it might have just been made a while ago and not updated. I love the snow in Ostriv, that is my favorite part of Banished.

Hopefully we will get Skylines eventually :/, although this style is nice also.

Edit: I couldn't resist. Ostriv seems very playable after a few hours, no technical issues for me at all so far. Less implemented so far than Banished but not by much.

Remembered me of Banished, will wishlist for now

If you watch the video you'll notice the similarities with those games.

My game crashes every time i try to start a new map, it loads for 2 seconds and then it crashes. Please help me

A quick search of the game's home page suggests the first thing to try is uncheck "Enable Post-Processing" from the settings application (or in-game settings since you can make it that far).

There is a file called HOW TO REPORT BUGS.txt in the game directory that has useful info and mentions a log.txt file in the save directory (Documents/Ostriv). The log.txt file might give a hint about what went wrong. It sounds like there are three developers (and self published) so the hardware they can test with is limited and there could easily be issues. I have a R9 390 GPU Windows 10 1803 and it works for me.

Check that you have the latest stable graphics drivers. Check if you have the latest Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2019 Redistributable. If you have any single year version in the 2015-2019 range you will need to uninstall it (from the app list under settings) to be able to install the latest version from here:

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads

It isn't clear on that page but you are supposed to install both the x86 and x64 versions.

If that doesn't work open the settings program (or in-game settings) and uncheck all the boxes, disable shadows and reflection, and set texture quality to "the lowest". If that works you can change settings individually to find out what causes the problem. If not you are likely SOL unless you send a bug report and the developer can fix it (or possibly if you wait a while and hope someone else reports it or it gets fixed accidently).

Well in my case i have many visual c and similar files, because Windoze from MickeySoft is a ' mess' and will always be 'messy' , it uses too many files : from the first Windoze till the last windoze 10 .
Windows 95 my first windoze ( older users know what names were used for the "fantastic" windows OS :D , users that started using windows recently might have missed the good old days of first windows :D

In one of my oldest topics i had some game(s) installing lot's of visual c and other M$ needed files, Mickeysoft always said there would be no need to remove the old files files.

Anyway i alwa'ys let it install , and if it messes things up i will uninstall the program/ game, write down the name of publisher/developers so i know that the next time some 'problems' might arise again.
