Hey!

We're recently resumed our development updates (on twitter, to be exact) and decided to make updates on itch as well. Currently we're working on a game called 'Totem Season'. It was supposed to be a small Forager-like experience, but it went a little bit out of scope :D

It's a 2D procedural generated sandbox game inspired by Don't Starve and Factorio. We are currently have an infinite world with minecraft-like biome generation, basic base-building, crafting system and survival elements in place (farming, animals etc).

Right now we are working on a different enemies and a combat system. Long-term plans are to have an automatization, different dungeons, loot system and of course polishing what we already have.

Technical stuff:

  • Language: Jai
  • Custom engine
  • Animations: DragonBones
  • Audio: FMOD

Project Page: Totem Season

Screenshots:



I recently wrote a devlog about all the recent changes we've made since the last playable version, with screenshots and some technical stuff^^

This looks so clean and adorable. I am going to try and play it when I have some time.

I always appreciate survival games with unique graphics rather than going for a generic realistic/3D look, case and point your world looks so fun to survive in and I can see it working well as a game akin to Don't Starve. Really hoping you don't go overboard with scope! :)

Thank you!

The current version on Itch is a whole year out of date, so I wouldn't really recommend it atm, we only got to "you can actually play it for an hour" phase recently~

Hopefully the next version will be done by september. Those type of games take awhile :D

An hour is great for a demo. Can happily wait for the 'you can play for ages' version :) 

Was fixing some bugs this week. Apart from that here's last week's little progress on twitter

Some visual improvments are in progress. Here's some Godray 


Here's new enemies. Goblins and night fellas. 

Forgot to post here, but we finally completed update of 'Totem season' and even fixed some bugs! You can download it and try it for yourself. Many things were added and changed, which can be viewed in changelog on the game page. 

It's not the end of course. Now more things to come...
