### Eremite Games Announces New Survival Game in the World of Against The Storm<\/p>\n

Eremite Games, known for their highly acclaimed roguelite city-builder “Against The Storm,” is expanding their creative horizons with the announcement of a new survival game set in the same bleak fantasy universe. This upcoming title has been teased with a brief video snippet featuring two hooded adventurers navigating through rainy woodlands towards a log cabin, sparking interest in co-op multiplayer elements and potential cabin-building mechanics amidst the menace of this dark world.<\/p>\n

#### Transition From City-Builder to Survival Game<\/p>\n

The development team at Eremite Games has recently concluded their work on “Against The Storm,” which had been in early access for two years before reaching its 1.0 launch. In a recent post on Steam, they shared that their focus has now shifted towards the new survival project, although they caution fans to temper their expectations for this early-stage endeavor. The team emphasizes that “most of our time now goes into experimenting with the new game,” and they stress that nearly everything showcased so far is subject to change. Eremite Games is adopting a philosophy within the game development community: “Just make it exist first. You can make it good later.”<\/p>\n

#### The Unique Landscape of Against The Storm<\/p>\n

While some players may have felt disengaged by the mechanics of city-building in “Against The Storm,” many found enjoyment in the game’s chaotic world where players control diverse animal workers tasked with harvesting resources for a tyrannical ruler. Players venture into the wild to forge settlements, which face destruction from a recurring environmental threat known as the Blightstorm. The new survival game promises an exploration of this landscape, inviting curiosity about how the phenomena of the Blightstorm will influence survival gameplay. Will players have to contend with their structures succumbing to harsh weather conditions? Will resource gathering involve familiar elements, such as hauling lumber?<\/p>\n

#### An Indie Team’s Openness<\/p>\n

Eremite Games expresses both excitement and a hint of concern about revealing their project at such an early stage, admitting that keeping their progress under wraps has been challenging. With a small team of just six members, they find comfort in making this journey transparent for their community. They acknowledge the risks associated with early announcements but are keen to engage with their audience.<\/p>\n

#### Future of the Against The Storm Franchise<\/p>\n

Despite the new direction with the survival game, Eremite Games reassures fans that “Against The Storm” is not being abandoned. There are considerations for a potential sequel, but the team is keen on experimenting with the survival genre first. This shift allows them to delve into new facets of the “Against The Storm” universe, enriching the overall narrative and gameplay experience.<\/p>\n

As the project progresses, fans remain eager to learn more about how Eremite Games will navigate the survival genre while harnessing the unique elements of their established lore. With anticipation building, players will be watching closely for updates on this intriguing new title.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
