Whats new

Independent German developer Bitfall Studios in partnership with publisher Toplitz Productions today announced that their sandbox city builder / puzzle game, TerraScape will be coming to Steam early access on April 5th. Ahead of the early access launch players can join the Beta playtest on Steam starting Thursday 16th March from 3pm UK / 4pm CET / 7am PT and running until Thursday 23rd March.

TerraScape utilizes a unique approach to building the city, town or shire of your dreams with the addition of card decks, each pack of cards in TerraScape offers different buildings and ways to expand your city and create scoring opportunities. Place your cards wisely in the game world to earn points and receive new cards as rewards.

Since each building has different influences, be it other buildings, natural resources, or the right terrain,no two maps are ever the same and buildings can have both positive and negative influences on your overall score depending on where they are placed.

The game's current procedural maps and challenges will be expanded upon with a host of further card decks, maps and game modes that Bitfall Studios will integrate during early access.

“We’re thrilled to be able to share our own take on the city builder genre with Terrascapes relaxed card based mechanic, we’re also looking forward to seeing the endless creative possibilities that the player community will explore during the games beta’ Said Nico Pattmann, Co-Founder and CEO of Bitfall Studios GmbH.

Join the TerraScape Beta playtest on Steam here and explore a diverse and beautifully detailed world builder to score points by creating the world of your dreams. Developer Bitfall Studios has added the first TerraScape gameplay video to the games Steam page.

About

The game offers several game modes, procedural maps, and exciting challenges. In Early Access, TerraScape will be expanded with more decks, maps, and game modes in the future.

Each building has different influences, be it other buildings, natural resources, or the right terrain. Earn bonus points by collecting as many positive influences as possible, but beware: there are also negative influences!

By collecting points, you unlock new decks and buildings. Each deck consists of several building cards. Specialize by placing buildings of certain decks more often and cleverly, and thereby unlock more decks.

If you place your buildings well, you can draw new cards. But always keep an eye on your strategy and plan which cards you really need. Otherwise, you may draw buildings that are not useful for your current planning.

The unique map generator creates new maps with endless possibilities! Also, play handcrafted missions with increasing difficulty and show your friends and the world that you are the best player in the high score list.

Let yourself be captivated by the unique graphic style and lovingly designed landscapes. You set the pace, so sit back and enjoy the view.
