New Homeland is a 2D Sandbox game and an original blend of various genres: Action, Adventure, Platformer, RPG, Management; all directly inspired by classics from the NES/DOS/SNES era. It features a 16 bits era general aesthetic with high quality pixel art and animations.
After 2 years of development, Hot Fudge Games announces its Kickstarter and Steam Greenlight campaigns for New Homeland, an original blend of various classics from the 8 & 16 bits era, the Sandbox genre and high quality pixel art.
"What if, back in the days, the classics were developed using today's technology?".
Over the last couple of months we have been fully focusing on getting this campaign nice and ready.
Obviously, and more than ever, we need your support and we count on you for spreading the word.
Thank you all IndieDB users and let's make this game a reality!
As its core, New Homeland stays true to the gameplay, the look and the feel of classics from the 8 & 16 bits era. It blends the fun and precise controls of a platform game, the epic journey in a huge world to explore of an action adventure game, the raw action and challenges of metroidvania's dungeons.
New Homeland also lives in the times and features a world that is fully interactive, dynamic and alive by incorporating a Life Simulation/City building aspect to the whole.
Moreover, the player is given a great freedom of action and growth integrating elements from a Sandbox/RPG game. You can be an adventurer, a warrior, a wizard, a craftsman, a hunter, a builder, a miner, a trader, a leader, a farmer...

This looks pretty nice and polished, tracking.
Best of luck with your project!
I want to post our game in my blog, i can?
Mmmm... I post our game... Axsajimdrake.wordpress.com
This is the link, of course, if you want, i can delete the post.
Hi, thanks for the interest.
You can post about our game on your blog, no problems with that.
There is a mistake though, Wip is not a "class", it simply means "work in progress".
Also we plan to have more more types of peoples/class, like Amazons, Sand people, Mountain peoples , Gnomes...
Oh... Ok! I edit the post, alright! thanks.
And... Sorry for this... :) n.n
* Started Tracking *
Will I be able to buy this game on Steam when it's ready?
Can't wait to play this game!!
Thank you!!
Yes! We are planning to get on steam as soon as the game is ready! :)
No multiplayer? Sorry you ve lost me there.
Look really good but sadly I can't play sandbox game alone.
Actually, we plan to have multiplayer.
We want the game to be fun in solo, but I understand and agree that it is generally wayyyy
more fun with friends; multiplayer is kind of a "must have" for that genre.
It is not shown in the current trailer, simply because it is not yet ready.
So please patient and as soon as we have a fully working multiplayer that
is interesting to watch, we will let you know :)
You will get me if you ever get one! :D Good luck and keep it up, you got something there!
