Press release:
Darmstadt, Germany, May 30th, 2023.
The Darmstadt-based (Germany) indie games publisher rokaplay and indie games developer Cyberwave, are today very excited and happy to announce that their beautiful and cozy survival/crafting game “Solarpunk“, is coming to PC (via Steam) and consoles (PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and the Nintendo Switch) in 2024.

Furthermore, Cyberwave and rokaplay have also just announced that they have launched a Kickstarter campaign for “Solarpunk”. So be sure to check that one out!

The new Kickstarter campaign allows players to get in on the ground floor of this unique futuristic survival experience.

Solarpunk is a survival game set on a technically advanced world of floating islands, where you must use sustainable technology to craft a self-sufficient ecosystem. Alone or together with your friends in co-op, you’ll have to use sunlight, wind and water to create an energy system and automate your processes like gathering resources and watering your plants.

Customize your own airship and solar sail your way through the skies to explore distant islands. Construct buildings, grow food, and craft gadgets to create your ideal home in the sky.

Key features:

Multiplayer: Play alone or in co-op mode with your friends.
Building: Gather resources and build your own home in the sky.
Farming: Grow plants to secure your food supplies.
Crafting: Craft technical gadgets and automate your processes.
Energy: Use sunlight, wind and water and create an energy system for your gadgets.
Airship: Build your own airship and explore distant islands in the sky.
Game Engine: Unreal Engine 5

“Solarpunk dreams about an optimistic future, where we can use renewable energy and build a home in a world of floating islands,” said Patrick de Rijk, Co-Founder and Programmer at Cyberwave.

“Players have to be innovative and creative to build the home they would want in a bright future.”

“We love the vision of Solarpunk,” said Adrian Kaiser, Head of Communication at rokaplay.

“It’s wondrous and majestic, yet retains a cozy innocence about it that’s becoming increasingly rare in a futuristic setting. Solarpunk is hopeful and harmonious, and it tickles an itch we’ve had to relax and be creative in this unique scenario.”
