WoodZone is a unique opportunity to become an entrepreneurial lumberjack. Imagine that you have a company that grows in front of your eyes or you go up the ladder in another corporation to eventually become the boss in it.
The game will combine the elements of economic strategy, RPG and simulator. WoodZone will distinguish itself through, among others, high approachability, open world and stylized low-poly 3D graphics.
WoodZone will feature a wide array of available activities such as the ability to play the role of a lumberjack harvesting wood, a supplier transporting it, or a builder putting it to use. The game combines elements of different genres, including economic strategy, RPG and simulator, creating an unprecedented mix.
As the creators explain, the procedurally generated world, which allows you to – among others – explore different climatic zones, plays an important role in WoodZone. The modular construction system allows you to design your own sawmill, factory, apartment house or any other building. The DeSand team has also prepared a realistic economic system, where the behavior of players is of key importance.
WoodZone focuses both on single-player and multi-player modes (PvP and co-op), and will be accessible and will offer the players a lot of depth and a wide variety of additional solutions.
Developer DeSand has launched a Kickstarter campaign, looking to raise $11,873. People who’ll decide to support the project can count on, among others, access to a playable demo and various special extras. As the developers explain, the collected funds will be spent on further development of the game (e.g. VR mode, releasing the game on consoles and additional expansions).
“This is the first game with such a comprehensive approach to the wood industry. In WoodZone we combine approachable gameplay with a multitude of different options. The possibilities of tree felling are very extensive, but we pay just as much attention to other spheres of the wood world, including logistics and construction. You can take care of transport, management or creating specialized buildings. You can build a big business or focus on climbing the career ladder in another wood products corporation. Virtually everyone will find something for themselves in WoodZone” – says Jakub Struś, COO at DeSand.
“WoodZone will debut on PC in Q4 2020, in Early Access, and will be further developed after initial release. This kind of game is a novelty on the market, but when it comes to the gameplay and atmosphere, WoodZone will certainly appeal to fans of such games as Factorio, Satisfactory, Roblox or Farming Simulator” – remarks Rafał Jelonek, COO at Ultimate Games S.A.
