New Trailer Out! Thank you for letting us grow our project
We are proud to present our new trailer for Common’hood, showcasing the growth of the game’s scope and features since our original inception. May this personal story we're trying to tell resonate with you! Share it with your friends if you think they'll like it and wishlist us on Steam!

Common’hood is a community building and economy management game with highly customizable base building tools. The game is set against the backdrop of an economic crash where the player is tasked with building a post-capitalist society. The player is challenged to go beyond survival and develop a thriving community with the odds stacked against them.
The Wait Is Over: New Trailer Coming Soon
We've been firing at all cinders over here at Plethora, broadening both the scope and upping the quality of the game we're building for you in Common'Hood and we're just about ready to show you where the game's headed and what we have achieved so far.
We're eager to get the updated version of the game into your hands, and hope you will enjoy the improvements we've been working hard on. Keep your eyes on this space to be the first to see the new trailer showcasing the growth of the game very soon!
We thank all our supporters for keeping your attention on the game, we're working to build something that you will love, and maybe even move you.
-Your friends at Plethora Project
Active Development and Demo News
After working on Common'hood for a while, we have secured funding and thus the game has entered Active Development. Usually this sort of thing would mean everyone showing up at a place and sharing drinks to celebrate, but you ever try to set up a gamedev studio during a global pandemic? It’s hard.
Everyone at Plethora is pumped to get Common’hood into your hands to let you experience Nikki’s story and build a thriving community of your own, we can't wait!
Speaking of the game, we no longer feel that the Demo properly showcases what the game will eventually look and work like, therefore we're disabling it to prevent you from getting the wrong impression of it. Worry not, we're doubling down on updates and sharing progress from the team so you know what we're building.
Stay tuned, we're going places.
Demo update v00.01.107f3
v00.01.107f3: - Fixed lag on each building action caused by navmesh recalculation - Tweaks to NPC behavior - Hold to skip cutscenes are now faster - Update to planter and solar panel indicators - Fix to planter bugs caused by inventory key collisions
Access the demo of Common'hood for free via Discord: https://discord.gg/BTSzvZz
Public Demo 2 Disabled Now
This article is now outdated as the demo has been disabled, body of article preserved in transparency's sake. ------- The sandbox demo is finally out!!
The demo can be accessed via our discord channel: https://discord.gg/BTSzvZz
A few things to note: - The sandbox will be available once you complete the story. That is - if you have a save where you repaired the crane and built the bridge, it will automatically and retroactively be unlocked. - Two big new features we've been working on are also playable: tech tree and blueprint viewer. We hope the game itself will do a good job walking you through it :) - There's a new way to plant! I want to mention this here since it's not in the tutorials yet. If you equip seeds/water you can plant or water planters by simply clicking on them. - We've also included fixes to a bunch of the bugs reported a few weeks ago. Planter bugs, stuck in chair bugs, etc. - We've activated our subreddit as an alternative for bug reporting now, so feel free to use it if that's your thing: https://www.reddit.com/r/commonhood/comments/f2e33i/official_bug_reports_thread/ I personally feel that a reddit thread is easier for archiving.
Happy testing! All feedbacks are appreciated
