Faraway started out as a small test to try to make a little survival game with an inventory system, which over time expanded to a full playable game. The plan is to get it finished by Q2 2025.

Game description:
Faraway: On Lost Isles is a relaxing 2D top-down survival crafting game. Set on randomly generated islands, each play-through offers a unique experience filled with exploration, creativity, and survival.

Survive and Thrive:
In Faraway, your primary goal is to survive. Manage your health, comfort, and hunger as you navigate through the island's challenges. Gather resources, craft essential items, and build shelters to protect yourself from the dangers that lurk, especially during the night.

Build Your World:
Unleash your creativity with an extensive build system. Construct walls, floors, and furniture to create a cozy home. Customize your structures with textures and paint to make them truly your own. Whether you're building a functional base or a beautiful haven, the grid-based building mechanics offer endless possibilities.

Farm and Domesticate:
Discover seeds to start your own farm and lure wild animals to create a thriving homestead. Breed animals to produce offspring and establish a reliable source of food. Set up fish traps to catch fish and cook nourishing meals to sustain your survival.

Explore and Progress:
Each island is filled with resources, wild animals, and hidden structures. Repair broken bridges to access new islands, where you'll find advanced materials like gold. These materials unlock new crafting options, including electrical devices, waterwheels, and item transport systems.

Face the Night:
As night falls, prepare to defend yourself against mysterious creatures that emerge in the dark. These enemies drop valuable items that aid in your progression. The night adds a layer of suspense and challenge to your survival journey.

Create and Share:
The robust build system also supports custom map creation. Use special objects and a simple scripting system to design and share unique maps with the community. The in-game tutorial itself is crafted using this powerful tool, showcasing its potential for creative storytelling.
