Turtles All The Way Down | World Turtles - Demo (Settlement Builder... On a Space Turtle)
181World Turtles is a game where we must build ourselves a settlement, complete with lumber mills, stone masons and farms. Sounds like good standard settlement building fare, certainly, but what sets this game apart from others is that the world is on the back of a gigantic space turtle.
Yes, like the Discworld.
So it's a huge flat world, on the back of a turtle who happens to be flying through space. What's not to like?
This is the demo version of the game so we don't have everything available but we get in the basics, such as our wanderer huts where our brave wanderers live! They explore the, er, disc, upon which we live and show us what's around the place.
We place more buildings, such as the leisure hub and the research hub, and we see some of our buildings upgraded as the people in them become more skilled at their jobs.
But really, the big thing is that... we're on A SPACE TURTLE!
NOTE: This is the demo version of the game.

Please … help us save our Turtle … it means the World to us!
Gather Some Meeps and Develop a Realm
Is there anything more exhilarating than your first move on a fresh map? A small band of Meeps have gathered together with enough supplies to construct a basic resource gathering outpost. Expand their skills, improve their efficiency and guide them towards guilds, societies and more advanced structures. They, and their children, are going to need these to have a fighting chance of saving their Turtle.
Explore, Examine and Cooperate
Find and cooperate with other bands of Meeps scattered on the map. Work with the environment to improve negative situations and affect progress without destruction. Learn about your world and push back the boundaries of physics in order to advance.
Save Your Turtle, Save Your World
Space can be a harsh and unforgiving place, especially to an enormous Turtle. Like the Meeps, their World Turtle also needs your guidance to stay safe and nurtured. And while you’re at it, maybe you can save some others as well…
Background and Vision
I am a solo Indie developer. I joined the Game Dev party quite late in life, and got my first glimpse of Unity almost exactly 2 years before making the first demo of World Turtles, my very first game, available. I'm amazed at the progress I’d been able to make during these two years and owe a great deal of gratitude to various tutorial channels, plug-ins and artists whom I leaned on during the development. None more than Catlike Coding, whose brilliant Hex Map tutorial series kickstarted this entire endeavour.
I have spent a lot of time polishing the task queueing and progressive construction systems, utilising different threads, UI and more and I feel the basic foundation and technical mechanics of the game is ripe for branching off into various promising directions. The free demo is a small vertical slice designed to exhibit the commitment I have to developing a good-quality game and hopefully pique some interest.
I have a good idea of the general direction I want World Turtles to head in, but there’s a myriad of possibilities available for the execution. For now, I’m focusing on a single-player sandbox-type environment. This will hopefully be followed by a small campaign and a map editor. Having some sort of multiplayer capability would also be wonderful, but there’s a lot to be done before then.
