Smallfolk, the time has come.
Merge Games is excited to announce that Smalland: Survive the Wilds will be entering Early Access on the 29th of March, 2023!
Set in a world not too unlike our own, but from a perspective much, much smaller... The challenges you face may seem trivial when you're many feet tall... but you'll learn that the danger is relative to your size. You'll need to learn the lay of the land, how to navigate, and how to build your overland home.
As one of the first of your people to come to the lands above, it's up to you to develop your survival skills to tame the world around you and learn its secrets. The survival of your people depends on it.
Throughout early access, we will be providing content updates, which will be outlined in a roadmap at a later date. There will also be other updates and changes based on our responses to community feedback from Discord, Steam forums, and Twitter. Updates will contain new creatures, areas, weapons, and features so make your not-so-little voice heard!
Early Access content:
📚 Story - Become a vanguard for the Smallfolk, be one of the first to venture into the overworld to save your people, tame the lands, and uncover the mysteries of the worlds above.
🏘 Build - Set up a safe haven in your great tree and take your sanctuary to other servers or build outposts lower to the ground in the over world below. Create a base, find new decorations, and turn an antagonistic, wild world into a place you can call home.
🛠 Craft - Stone, Chitin, Bone, if it's good enough for them, it's good enough for you. Fashion Scythes, hammers, arrows, and more out of your foes and work your way up the food chain one swing at a time.
🏕️ Survive - When there are no mandibles grabbing at you, you'll need to endure the temperature, weather, heights, and environment. A small stream and crack in a rock is a crashing river and gaping chasm when you're only 2 inches tall.
🏹 Fight - There's always something bigger, you'll need to prepare to take on your foes, knowing how they attack, what methods they employ, and how to counter them, whether that means finding out their weaknesses or enhancing your strengths.
A big thank you to those reading this and that have supported Smalland: Survive the WIlds through the years, we couldn't have made it here without you!

Grounded 2: Magical Boogaloo 🤣

Comparison will always be there, but hopefully, they've taken a look at feedback from that game & improved.
I am looking forward to this. It has a lot of possibilities.

Definitely agree. One of the comments that I think is true is listening to the players during early access.
The easiest way to see this be successful is for the developers to actually listen to community feedback rather than just put up bandaid patches that ultimately just take away from the experience. I have reserved hopes for this, but they are hopes nonetheless

Hey dark! WB!
Looks good. Doesn't look as good as Grounded but the mounts are definitely interesting.

It will always be compared to Grounded, but hopefully, it stands out as well as it appears to. Right, now, I've got faith, but we'll see.

@@OriginalRyan True, and comparison doesn't seem fair because even though they have similarities, they are definitely different.

True, but early concepts from Smalland had pretty much the same idea of humans being shrunk. Makes me believe that to stand out from Grounded, they changed the script to try & eliminate 1-1 comparisons. I think it'll be great, unfortunately, there's no news of a console port which hurts it.
Looks really cool but is this not considered a rip off of Grounded? I mean a lot of the features I'm seeing are almost a 1 to 1 copy.

It started development in 2017 but switched developers a few years ago due to the original devs dropping the ball. It should’ve have come out around the time Grounded did.

@@MediocreMilton Wow hey Milton, who would have thought you would be the one to comment me back! I loved your Grounded content. Now that I'm done being a fan, that's unfortunate development was delayed. It may be better for them because the Grounded comparisons may have hurt them if they came out at the same time. Hopefully this game is better and will fill the void Grounded left after everyone finished the game.

Yes, but with a similar concept, the team chose to change the original concept to "Smallfolk" as opposed to humans being shrunk as Grounded did to a modicum of success. The original team is still there, providing input with the complete detour.

It is a similar concept from different minds. The differences are plentiful. What you think Grounded did "well" or "bad" will be completely different.

I think it is a bit tough to call it a rip off when it started development around the same time. It is like calling Call of Duty a rip off of Battlefield 1942 (or vice versa). The concept of a player with combat, crafting and survival elements, just on a smaller scale. It will be different than what is out there. Yes, there will be many comparisons to Grounded, but just give it time.
Doesn’t really do it for me like Grounded did. Looks like any other generic RPG/survival game… just using the shrunken down aspect from Grounded.

True, but Grounded isn't the first. It was the first with a bigger backing, making it more popular while still lacking a lot of gameplay experiences wanted by players in that environment. Grounded ultimately failed in a lot of aspects, leaving room for others to improve upon.

The Spy Who Shrunk Me, Hypercharged:Unboxed, Inch by Inch, Sly 3, Mario Brothers lol. The "shrunken" gimmick is nothing new, Grounded just copied the Honey I Shrunk The Kids idea & turned it into a game backed by MS so of course it gets more promotion.

It's completely different.
I want to like it but the design/graphics are terrible, even the fonts used make it look like a rpg from 2002. I feel absolutely no attraction to the "fairy"/elf" design either, hard pass. thanks for the video

We can get into the "but, it's early access" argument here with things, but that'd be pointless. It won't be for everyone, though, due to the style. Appreciate the comment, though, Axel! 👊

@@OriginalRyan yeah with early access most of the time the graphics you get are the ones you'll get in final version, like they're not gonna "retexture" the whole game sadly. Thanks for the video, it's cool that you cover this tho, hope it'll get better.

Typically, graphics are improved upon full release, actually, which is weird. The gameplay is typically the main focus. We'll see! I like how it seems so far
