First look at the full version of Lost Settlers

It all started with a simple plan… a 2D grid and a cursor that went boink-boink. Believe it or not, I had no idea what I was making back then, I just really wanted to make traversing on a grid fun. Look at it go!

It took me a month to finish the game, and it has been my most successful game to this date (I mean ! PANIC ! over on Construct arcade has been played by 300k people and has been sitting on the front page for 6 years now, but we don’t talk about that here). The number of heartfelt and warm reactions from the itch.io community were simply overwhelming. Your support is why half a year ago me and my good friend Korthking set out to establish Hungry Trolls and since then we have been working on the new Lost Settlers!

[drum rolls] Lo and Behold!

We are quite happy with how it looks and feels so far! I hope after seeing this video you too want to wrap yourself in a wool blanket and cosy up on the sofa with a cup of coffee.

Up until now our focus mainly was centered around making the game mechanics work - many of them were left unchanged, albeit there are quite a few new additions. We are aiming at keeping the same relaxed vibe to the game. There also will be a few mechanics to alter the appearance of the town to your liking, so you can build a settlement of your dreams! In either case, there are many elements that are still being worked on, and as we get closer to the release date, expect to see more of these blogposts ^^

PS: We are more active over on Twitter, and are going to post more lil' bits and pieces from our development.

PPS: You can still play the original version over here: click me. Do let us know what changed you would like to see in the final version! ^^

Until next time!
