WoodZone, the first game in history that will allow you to become an entrepreneurial lumberjack and build a wood products empire, will be released on PC in Q2020 XNUMX. The game, developed by DeSand, will combine the elements of economic strategy, RPG and simulator. WoodZone will stand out, among other things, with great accessibility, an open world and stylized low-poly 3D graphics. A crowdfunding campaign is currently underway on Kickstarter to fund further development of the game.
The game is being developed by German-Polish studio DeSand, which is simultaneously working on Lands of Raynar, a unique blend of RTS and RPG. WoodZone will be released on PC by Ultimate Games SA and Gaming Factory SA
WoodZone is a unique game that allows you to become an entrepreneur lumberjack. Developers prepare a wide range of activities. Among other things, the player can play the role of a lumberjack collecting wood, a supplier who transports it, or a builder using it.
As the developers explain, their new project combines elements from different genres, including business strategy, RPG, and simulation, creating an unprecedented mix. DeSand focuses on both single player and multiplayer modes (PvP and co-op).
“This is the first game with such a comprehensive approach to the wood industry. In WoodZone, we combine accessible gameplay with a multitude of different options. The possibilities for tree felling are very extensive, but we pay just as much attention to other areas of the timber world, including logistics and construction. You can take care of transport, management or the creation of specialized buildings. You can start a large business or focus on career progression at another wood products company. Almost everyone will find something for themselves in WoodZone » says Jakub Struś, COO at DeSand.
As the creators explain, the procedurally generated world, which allows you, among other things, to explore different climatic zones, plays an important role in WoodZone. The modular building system allows you to design your own sawmill, factory, apartment building or any other building. The DeSand team has also prepared a realistic economic system, where player behavior is of utmost importance.
“WoodZone will debut on PC in Q2020 XNUMX, in Early Access, and will be developed after initial release. This type of game is new to the market, but when it comes to gameplay and ambiance, WoodZone will certainly appeal to fans of games such as Factorio, Satisfactory, Roblox or Farming Simulator ” notes Rafał Jelonek, COO at Ultimate Games SA
A Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign will take place between August 21 and September 20 of this year. The minimum target has been set at € 10000. Those who decide to support the project will be able to count on, among other things, access to a playable demo and various special extras. As the developers explain, the funds raised will be spent on further development of the game (e.g. VR mode, release of the game on consoles and additional expansions).
