Studio HopFrog‘s charming crafter Forager saw Beta 8 release on February 15 with a concurrent update to the free demo — placing us one step closer to a full launch, and offering a tasty tidbit to those interested in nibbling on the demo sampler. Published by Humble Bundle and planned for an early 2019 release, Forager proudly proclaims a starstruck trinity of inspiration: The Legend of Zelda, Terraria, and Stardew Valley. Forager calls itself:
“The highly popular and quirky “idle game that you want to actively keep playing.” Explore, craft, gather & manage resources, find secrets and build your base out of nothing! Buy land to explore and expand!”
Originally designed in two weeks for the 2016 GameMaker Studio 2 BetaJam, Forager took home second place and won enough fans to spur Argentina-based HopFrog on to expanding it into a complete title. Now, with development in full swing, Forager looks forward to a release on Steam “Soon™.”
