Loamward

Loamward is a sandbox game about working the land. You start with a few simple tools on the edge of the Loamwood. From there you dig, cut, build and craft your way to a home of your own, on one shared world with everyone else.

Every hill can be dug down and every hollow filled. Every tree can be felled, every rock broken up. Skills grow slowly as you use them, and what you make is only as good as your hands and your tools.

What's in the alpha

• A 16 km island to explore: rivers and lakes, mountain massifs, forests and meadows, sea all round.
• Terraforming tile by tile: dig, flatten, level, pave, and tunnel into the rock for ore.
• Crafting where quality counts: carpentry, smithing, pottery, masonry and leatherwork, plus improving your tools stroke by stroke.
• Farming and cooking: till fields, sow crops, bake bread, brew, keep bees, milk cows.
• Animals: lead them, win their trust, ride horses, and breed your own herds.
• Settlements: found one with a pillar, build houses piece by piece, hire guards and a trader.
• Trade and coin with other players, and a bank account at your settlement.
• Seasons, weather and a full day and night, with snow in winter.
