gamescom 2022 is just around the corner, but we decided to show the world a new game published by us, Star Drifters ????, a few days before the event will start. When we saw Scorchlands for the first time, we knew right from the bat that this project was interesting. We felt that after the first chats with Jakub, the developer behind the name Ringlab, we were on the same page from the very beginning. What’s more, he told us that he admires Driftland - The Magic Revival ???? and is a fan of our game. Then we knew something was in the air, so today we’re here to announce to the whole world that:
1️⃣ Scorchlands by Ringlab will be published by Star Drifters ????!

Scorchalnds is a game in which you manage production of fantastic resources on a foreign, volcanic moon. Play at your own pace and relax in a setting that combines magic and science.
Main features of Scorchlands ????
- Hex grid-based city-building – construct various buildings in your colonies. Each structure's productivity depends on neighboring resources and other constructions.
- Complex resource management – it’s not only about extracting materials. Scorchlands takes account of logistics – the movement of resources between colonies and combining them in robust processing chains. And yes, we move resources using LASERS!
- Terraforming for the greater good – use magic and technology to change the biomes on procedurally generated maps and exploit the new environment to gain its unique resources
- Technology designed to give fun – there’s no fun in a sandbox if you don’t have the toys to play with. The technology system in Scorchlands is key for player progression and new discoveries open up new ways to play with the game world
- Minimalistic combat system – when you get into a fight, positioning will be the key. Destroy your enemies by surrounding them and placing your forces in optimal locations.
