In Distant Lands, you explore various areas and landscapes, scavenging for items and tools, building camps, and striving to survive. This open-world survival game is heavily influenced by chance and randomness. How long can you survive? What will you encounter along the way?

Distant Lands is my first game, and the first game I've developed with AppGameKit. The reason why I chose AppGameKit was because I was familiar with the developer and the community, and wanted to learn a game framework where you didn't have any visual development - only in code. This learned me to build my own systems on how to handle objects, code and functions and learnt me a lot.

Game Mechanics

Distant Lands combines "point-and-click" and "text-based" gameplay. You can click on different icons for various actions and input text commands to unlock new actions. As of the beta version, the game leans more towards click-based interactions than text-based ones.

Features

The game utilises images, text, and audio to depict the world, making it accessible on most computers, tablets*, and browsers.

* A tablet version is planned for the future.
