'We sat down and we decided we had to re-evaluate whether we wanted to make the planned, small game [...] or whether we wanted to try something more ambitious. And we decided to try something more ambitious.'
when I played a demo in summer 2021. Here was a game from BroForce developer Free Lives about repairing the world. A calm and gentle game about regrowing wastelands and then packing up and getting out of there, and leaving no trace. A kind of reverse city-builder, if you like, or an anti-city-builder, maybe. And it felt so refreshing to play that, as well as being current and topical.
Question is, what took it so long? Simply, as Terra Nil creator Sam Alfred tells me in an interview,"The game's response was so much bigger than we thought it was going to be. When we released that demo in 2021," he says,"the whole idea was it was just going to be a remake of the pixel-art version and that would be it..."pixel-art demo of Terra Nil
"And then it just exploded online," Alfred says."And we sat down and we decided we had to re-evaluate whether we wanted to make the planned, small game, which wouldn't have been appreciably larger than the demo [...] or whether we wanted to try something more ambitious. And we decided to try something more ambitious."
Each of the regions have their own biomes and animals, and represent their own kind of puzzle challenges that you'll need different buildings and strategies to solve. There are something like 50 building types in the game now. In other words, there's a lot more content.But, Alfred stresses,"This is not a hundred-hour game. This is an experience about rebuilding an environment and then leaving.
