Year-End Recap & Important Updates For Our Snowcastle Community
We're thrilled to announce the successful launch of Ikonei Island: An Earthlock Adventure on November 9th, now available on both Steam and Epic platforms. We worked hard to implement the Friends Pass, which also functions as a demo! The Friends Pass allows a group of up to 4 players to play indefinitely on the hosts island, provided the host owns the game. We hope this fosters a sense of community and collaboration among players. We are not done with Ikonei Island yet - On December 14th, Ikonei is celebrating Lystide! Players will be visited by The Spirit of Lystide Past - so make sure to check out the Hamlet!
Lystide sneak peeks! [hr][/hr] Your support has been instrumental in making this launch a success, and we're excited to continue building and expanding Ikonei Island in the coming months.
Our first title, Earthlock, was originally released in 2018. We have seen a huge boost in activity since it was available for free on the Epic Store for a week in November. Over 5.9 million people claimed the game! We hope you enjoyed revisiting the world of Earthlock. Be sure to check out our comics on Steam and Epic if you want to delve further into the Earthlock lore.
We have restarted the Earthlock 2 project and with that put the date to TBA. For the last year, we have been in pre-production totally redesigning the main concept and direction of the game. We are super excited to share this new vision for E2 with you and will be doing so in the upcoming months. Our team made the choice to switch from Unity to Unreal Engine a couple of years ago. This has been a huge undertaking, and we have learned a lot about the engine, and the way we work as a studio. Another major challenge we have taken on is working on our first multiplayer game in Ikonei Island. We have grown as a studio tackling these challenges, but it has cost us more time than initially anticipated. However, for the last year, we have gone back to pre-production working on the core vision, and redesigned the main concept for the game. We feel we have something really good now, and we have been presenting this to publishers and investors lately. We even won an award for the most anticipated game at an investor event in Malta at the end of November. We are working on making this vision presentable to the community and will begin posting about this soon. Were excited to share these new features and more news about the development process going forward, so wishlist Earthlock 2 to keep up to date! Speaking of new features Whats this? [previewyoutube=p-7ranLvh98;full][/previewyoutube] As we wrap up the year, we want to express our gratitude for your unwavering support, feedback, and enthusiasm. Our community plays a pivotal role in shaping the future of our games, and we look forward to embarking on new adventures together in the upcoming year. Wishing you a joyful holiday season and a fantastic New Year filled with exciting gaming experiences! [hr][/hr]

If you have played EARTHLOCK: Festival of Magic
Extended and upgraded, this is in many respects a brand new game.
Keeping all the best parts from EARTHLOCK: Festival of Magic, we have spent the last year improving them in every way while adding loads of new stuff:
⁃ Craftable weapons and equipment
⁃ New abilities in the overworld
⁃ Numerous new side quests
⁃ New scenes, new creatures and new NPCs
⁃ In addition to all the strange plants you now can grow trees to bring kittens and other cute critters into the world
⁃ Treasure Maps to discover more treasures
⁃ The ability to sell as well as buy stuff
⁃ Loads of new animations, story additions, smarter NPCs and tweaks of every kind to make the game even more engrossing, enjoyable and replayable!
If you are new to EARTHLOCK
Don’t let the cute cartoonish art style fool you. This game is challenging. True fans of the JRPG genre will love it, casual players may want to look elsewhere. Invest the time, and EARTHLOCK will reward you with a depth in gameplay that will test the most strategic of players.
Discover Your Hero Within
Embark on a journey to save the beautiful world of Umbra, a harsh planet that stopped spinning thousands of cycles ago. What started as a mission to rescue Amon’s uncle from the clutches of an ancient cult, soon spirals into an adventure that was centuries in the making. You must bring together this group of unlikely heroes to stop the ruinous past from repeating itself.
The World
Explore the magical world of Umbra and discover places lost in the past to uncover the secrets of the Earthlock Artifact.
The Heroes
Unite this band of heroes, all with their own journeys of self discovery and venture into the world to save the planet from the growing evil within. Mix up your strategy to beat your enemies using two different stances per character, and build your characters' battle bond to unleash powerful abilities or unique perks.
The Battles
Dive into turn based battles on arenas in the grand tradition to explore the depths of tactical choices needed to survive the fierce boss fights.
Your Own Secret Island
Take a break from adventure and escape to your own home island. Here you can harvest magical ingredients and craft weapons, helpful items and perks.
Grow Stuff
Gather seeds to grow amazing plants both on the island and elsewhere. Many provide necessary ingredients to make your way around the world. Some, when they ripen, in stead produce living off spring, cute little kittens and other creatures that wander about for pure enjoyment.
The Overworld
With plenty of stuff to do you can lose yourself in the Overworld. Scavenge for items, pick flowers, catch cute Bibis or dig up treasures to trade or take back to Plumpet Island to concoct the strangest potions and ammunitions giving you a leg up in your next battle.
The Talent Table
EARTHLOCK features a unique talent board system; a refreshing take on the classic skill tree. This board gives you complete control over your player's strengths and weaknesses. You can swap talents on and off the board, allowing you to finely tune each character to your desired playing style. The talent board also features “Perk Talents” which you can craft and collect in the world, giving you special combat skills and abilities.
For the best EARTHLOCK experience, we recommend using a game controller.
