We're so excited to share Fangtopia with all of you. It's come a long way from the bones of an idea into a fully formed creation, and we think it's going to be the perfect game to cozy up with during spooky season and beyond.
What can you expect at launch?
Fangtopia is a world filled with merry monsters and goofy ghouls, crafted by your own hands. You'll put it together piece by piece, placing tiles onto a hex grid that surrounds a creepy castle of your choice. There are no time limits, only tile limits, so you can carefully consider each placement and enjoy forming the world at your own pace. However, you'll need to deploy every trick (and treat) in your rotten repertoire if you want to top the leaderboards and perfect your devious domain.
Watch as tiles combine to form a beautiful, coherent world: sprawling forests border quaint little towns, railways wind across lush wheat fields, and yetis gaze down at the world from misty mountain ranges.
As you gain points, you'll be offered landmarks to place in your world, plucked from a collection that expands the more you play. Placing these special monuments is the key to expanding your world – each landmark has a special objective attached which, once completed, will award the player with more tiles for their deck, giving them the chance to expand even further.
As you place tiles, mysterious portals will appear in the oceans around you. Opening these portals will summon a coterie of creatures that bring even more character to your world – once you've found room for them. Meet grotty gremlins, wily werewolves, bawling banshees and many more! Each has a natural habitat, and when you find them a home, they'll reward you by gifting bonus tiles to expand your world. Why not try interacting with them after they've been placed? Perhaps a spooky surprise awaits...
Do You Want to Play a Game?
A demo is coming soon, where you'll find multiple ways to play based on what you enjoy the most. The short and spooky Fangtopia Mode is perfect for a quick and cozy session. If you're looking to settle in and while away the hours building your realm, Ghoulish Mode is for you - it adds a new tile type in the form of rivers, lets you swap the top two tiles of your tile stack, and introduces bigger tile groups that have to be placed together. More modes may emerge from the shadows in future... keep your eyes peeled for more info...
So, cozy up, turn off the lights, and lock up your werewolves – we'll see you on October 26!
