So, the first announcement is here. I'm working on some exciting stuff right now, but you all would probably rather hear about the game state, its closeness to completion and the release plans so that's what I'm going to write about.
Demo
I have far-reaching ideas, but the game is already playable and fun. The current plan is therefore to have a free demo released ASAP, to show the world what the game is about, and also to gather some feedback from all of you. The demo will have all the promised main game features, except that it will be limited to one single small map. It will also miss some late-game content which is not mentioned on the store page yet, such as hotels or helicopters; the content for the demo is already complete (except two mechanics which are under development, there's a hint in the screenshot above).
Public playtest
Even demos should be properly tested and groomed before release. Internal stages of that are already in progress, but there will also be a public playtest in a few weeks. Register now by clicking the big green "Request Access" button on top of the store page!
Other updates
There's no full release date yet. For that, I first have to draw a line and decide which features will be a part of it, and which can be added in the later updates. Your feedback from playtests and demo will be an important part of these decisions.
Short summary
- Public playtest in a few weeks, register now!
- Free demo when the playtest feedback is processed and acted on
- More details will be coming later

Octohill is a casual ski resort simulator where you can try to build and manage your own resort on one of the countless mountain maps. You will be drawing trails and terraforming slopes, managing finances, transportation, construction and maintenance, but the game main focus is on careful planning.
Design your resort from the bottom
In Octohill, you are building your ski resort from scratch. You will be choosing best spots on the slopes, prepare terrain and mark areas for the trails, connect them to ski lifts and public roads and provide all the services your visitors look for. With intuitive building mechanics and fixed grid layout you may relax and focus on planning and creativity.
Raise to the top
Your resort will attract very few visitors in the beginning, but as you cater to their needs your reputation will rise, allowing more people on your slopes and bigger incomes in your bills. Every skier has their own preferences and skills, keep that in mind when planning another expansion as you need to keep your resort profitable and your visitors satisfied.
Choose your own mountain
Octohill comes with several default maps based on the real world locations such as French Alps or Rocky Mountains, which you can use to recreate one of the famous resorts. But if you get bored with them, you may also try highly customizable procedurally generated maps, or even use your own heightmap image.
