It took quite a while, but it’s finally out. Fully free, no ads, no in-app purchases (besides a “Support the developer” option), no data collection and fully offline playable. All you need is your phone and GPS :)
I originally made the game to go on walks, unfortunately I sat even more in front of my PC to develop it. It is what it is. Hopefully it motivates some of you to get your steps in 💚
General idea of the game: Collect ingredients, brew them into potions and sell them to merchants. With the gold and reputation you get you can buy things and decorate your neighborhood. Other players see the same map and resources (so you can indirectly play together), but the game world fully belongs to you (singleplayer only).
General roadmap right now:
- Adding achievements
- Adding buildings you can improve over time (tavern to attract merchants and an ingredient tree you need to grow)
- More minigames and improving the existing ones
- And of course bugfixes, please let me know if you run into issues :)
For any questions and suggestions I’m always available!
I’ve never been one to do mobile app type things, and with the Pokemon Go stuff that came out, I’m massively hesitant to. I understand this is offline, but it requires GPS. Is that just for the game locally on the device? I see no ads. Do you collect any data? I love this idea, I’m just honestly hesitant because of the current situation of these kinds of games.
It’s fully offline, so no worries there. The GPS is just for your game to know where you are while playing. No ads, no data collected (besides what Google generally collects over the Play Store).
In theory there is one network connection to Cloudflare: I offer a street map download for all across the world. So for example if you’re in Austria like me it looks up which map file you need (simple .json catalog), then offers you to download the map file once (57 MB for Austria). But I don’t track anything there either.
Zero interest in handling player data, I’m in the EU, GDPR is a bitch :)
Thank you for taking the time to address my paranoia. :D
I’ve downloaded the game and going to try it out. First off, I absolutely LOVE the art style. So pretty.
Thank you for creating this and sharing it with us here. :)
Thank you for giving it a try 💚
Honestly I was a bit afraid no one is going to play it (:
