Seedling

Your own planet. Mostly.

You just bought a planet. On credit. Interstellar Savings & Loans would like their 2,500,000 credits back eventually, but for now it's all yours: the forests, the hills, the fish.

Seedling is a cozy first-person colony game. You start with an axe and an empty meadow, and you end with a town full of people, trains and a space elevator. Every street in it is one you planned.

Build it with your own hands

Chop trees (they grow back), mine stone and ore, go fishing, and grow vegetables in your own garden.

Place blueprints and hammer them up yourself, or leave the building to your settlers.

Shape the land: flatten hills, pave roads, fence your fields.

Settlers are people

Build homes, and settlers come to live in your town. Each one has a name, needs, skills that grow with practice, and little quirks: the Fish Lover is happiest near water, the Green Thumb makes plants grow faster. Every evening the town meets at the Founders' Hall.

Organize people, not conveyor belts

Carriers move your goods between stockpiles, workshops and building sites. Set priorities, paint stockpiles, open warehouses, lay train tracks, and sell your goods at the market to pay off that loan. When you're tired, lean back and watch your town go about its day.

Six eras

Research your way from the Pioneer era through Craft, Industry, Electricity and Modern times into the Future: power grids, vehicles, robots and, finally, a space elevator. Every era has its own landmark building, its own look and its own music.

Cozy at heart

No combat, no death, no game over. Problems slow you down, but they never take away what you built. Decorate your town, and enjoy the evening when the lights come on.

Better together

Play alone, or with up to 3 friends in co-op over Steam, all building the same town.

Made by one person

Seedling is made by a single developer and grows a little with every update. Come say hi on Discord and help decide what comes next.
