[In Development] Iron Age Hillforts Vol 1 - North Somerset

Time Machine Designs, the developer behind Hadrian’s Wall 180, is excited to announce it’s next project: Iron Age Hillforts Vol 1 - North Somerset.

This first volume of Iron Age Hillforts focuses on the full reconstruction of 20 hillforts within the North Somerset area, as they may have appeared during the Iron Age period (1200 BC - 550 BC).

We are developing the scenery for MSFS2024 so that we can take full advantage of the new first person tools.

Upon your arrival at one of the hillforts, you’ll have the opportunity to explore an Iron Age settlement in all its glory. Whether you want to walk the ramparts, enter a roundhouse or check out the granaries filled with wheat, there will be plenty to see and do on your travels.

As with Hadrian’s Wall 180, we’re using the latest archaeological and historical research to help us create the most authentic experience we can, including advice from North Somerset’s County Archaeologist.

Below is a first look at some of the work going on behind the scenes.

If you are in the Swindon area of the UK tomorrow and Saturday (21st & 22nd), we will be showcasing the early development work at the Festival of Tomorrow. Maybe see you there?
