About five months agoa “cozy survival game” inspired by Stardew Valley and Minecraftstole my heart, and it’s since smashed its initial Kickstarter goal 10 times over.
Back in June, Solarpunk blew right past itsKickstarter goalin just five hours, so it’s no surprise to see the campaign continuing to thrive, but reaching 10 times its funding mark is quite an accomplishment. Clearly, a chilled-out survival farming sim laced with the creativity and freedom of Minecraft is something that’s continued to resonate with a sizable crowd.
Solarpunk takes place in “a technically advanced world of floating islands,” not terribly dissimilar toZelda: Tears of the Kingdom’s multi-layered world. You can either go it alone or team up with friends as you construct buildings, farm for food, craft gadgets to combine into an automated energy system using sunlight, wind, and water, and explore distant islands from your customizable airship.
Frankly, that is too crucial a feature to be left out of the game due to something silly like funding. We need to collectively pump those numbers up before we’re snatched of the privilege of pets and left to venture through Solarpunk with only stupid humans by our side.
With or without pets, though the thought is too much to bear, Solarpunk is due out on Nintendo Switch, PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC in June.
