Check Out the Alpha Trailer for ‘Crashlands’ from the Creators of ‘Quadropus Rampage’

Butterscotch Shenanigans, creators of one of the isometric roguelike-inspired Quadropus Rampage (Free), have been hard at work on Crashlands, their next full game. This is agenre-crossing game that will mix together survival gameplay, collecting and managing resources in harsh environments, with RPG hack ‘n slash action, with Minecraft-style crafting and building elements. There will also be the ability to tame all the creatures you meet in the world, with narrative elements to help tie everything together. It’s not quite a sandbox game – there’s an actual story traveling through here.

The game’s been in the works for a while, and is scheduled to come to iOS, Android, and dekstop next spring, though it’s built for touchscreens first. The game’s got a really interesting backstory to it – the team was working on a game called Extreme Slothcycling when Sam Coster of the studio got stage 4 lymphoma. So, they decided to try and make something bigger and better, their dream project, which is Crashlands, which has gotten bigger in scope as the project has gone on. Thankfully, Sam Coster is cancer-free, and he and his brothers Seth and Adam are all hard at work on making Crashlands come to life.

Their dev blog has regular updates about the status of the game, along with some of the side projects that they work on. If you have an Android device, they occasionally release small side projects on to Google Play if you’re interested in their work.
