What is Solarpunk? Find out in a new 8 minute developer video
Take to the skies and build on floating islands with the upcoming survival crafting game Solarpunk, which arrives next week on June 8th. See what the game's about with a new developer video while you wait!
Soaring into next week comes the survival crafting game Solarpunk, which already has 1.2 million wishlists on Steam. How is the 2 person team going to deliver their vision for the game? In a brand new video the developer Cyberwave walks us through the game from starting your character, to constructing your base and farming. As with other games you'll need to scavenge the world for resources.
Players will be able to use the power of the sun to power machines that can be automated to make farming easier, such as sprinklers and drones that can help you gather. You can play the game solo, or you can team up with others in co-op to work together. No matter if you're playing alone or not the game will support all types of players. Unlike most hardcore survival games, Solarpunk is instead a calm survival craft experience focused on peace, creativity, and slow progression. Those looking for a challenge may want to look elsewhere, but if you're looking for a relaxed experience Solarpunk may be for you.
Check out the full 8 minute video from the developer below and see what you can expect when it launches on June 8th.
Solarpunk Features
🏠 Build freely
Design your dream home base with a wide range of materials and decorations. You’re free to build cozy spaces, add tiny details, and make your island feel just like home.
These buildings were crafted by our amazing community in the demo!
⚡ Energy system
Generate electricity using wind and solar energy. Weather conditions affect how much energy you produce, so you’ll need to plan ahead. Store energy in batteries and use wireless power to keep your base running smoothly.
👥 Multiplayer
Play solo or with friends. Everyone has their own inventory, and you can decide whether to build something together or create your own little corner in the sky.
🐷 Animals & Farming
In Solarpunk, you live in symbiosis with animals. There is no exploitation, only coexistence. Pigs, for example, will dig up truffles if treated well. Growing fruits and vegetables is your main source of food. Plant seeds in the ground and harvest them once they’re fully grown.
🤖 Automation
Automate your tasks using transport drones to gather resources, giving you more time to build and explore your skybound home.
✈️ Airship
Each player can build their own airship. Use it to travel to surrounding islands and discover new resources.
Solarpunk will be available on Gamesplanet on June 8th at release.
