Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“A few things are missing but nothing critical for enjoying the game. I anticipate there will be a lot of bugs to fix and would like to polish everything as much as possible before calling the game complete. Please see the list of planned features in the game description and feel free to make your own suggestions.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Ideally for under a year. The game has been in development for a long time and has tons of features already.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The current To-Do List includes: multiplayer optimization and Steam support, endgame content, NPCs, Linux support, and other minor things. These will be gradually added with updates as development continues. Please see the game description for the list of planned features.

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“In terms of features the game is nearly where I want the full version to be. At this point it is mostly polishing and balancing, endgame content, and a few other things that are left. Please see the list of features in the game description to see the implemented features and planned future content.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“I don't plan to change the price.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“I've always been open to suggestions! There's so much stuff that could be added to the game so it would be nice to prioritise based on community feedback. You are invited to email your suggestions or share them on the Elsewhere Discord!”

About This Game

Elsewhere is an epic, open-world, procedurally generated game focused on exploration, gathering and processing resources, and completing technological and magical quests as you build the base of your dreams. It’s inspired by old-school Minecraft modpacks and features many new and unique features such as character creation, building templates and monster-filled castles.

Hi everyone! My name is Sergio, and Elsewhere is a game I’ve been developing since 2012. Since late 2018, I’ve been working on it nearly full-time. All code for the game is done by me, while the art assets are either done by me or by my more talented artist friends.

In Elsewhere, players can explore the world, fight monsters, and collect loot, or gather and process resources while gradually advancing from simple tools and medieval technology all the way to fusion power and particle accelerators. 

The game also features magic, alchemy, ancient ruins and temples, and vast procedurally generated castles and dungeons filled with bosses to discover and conquer.

Players are guided by a quest system, though it doesn’t need to be followed linearly - or even at all. Building a fully automated Jaffa Factory, for example (or more precisely, a Chocolate Cookie Factory), can be a real challenge, with countless elements to consider and many resources to automate and process.

Elsewhere features a large, procedurally generated, and fully interactive world with dozens of unique biomes. Players can place and remove blocks, build castles and machines, gather and process resources, farm and cook food, explore ancient ruins and temples, fight monsters, avoid traps, collect loot, and much more. The game includes over 7,500 blocks, more than 6,000 recipes, and upwards of 300 quests.

The game includes pre-built bases and building templates, a wide variety of decorative blocks and items—including arcade machines with mini-games—along with character creation, pre-made skins, and many other unique elements.

Planned future features include NPC interactions, story elements, expanded modding support, and much more (see below). 

Please note that while Elsewhere already includes most of its intended mechanics, it is still a work in progress. It’s also a very large game that takes time to fully explore and unravel.

The game features plenty of jokes and references, and there’s even a free-to-play modification called YogLabs: Testing Initiative, inspired by the YogLabs series. All Yogscast-related content is included with permission.
