Ooblets has become one of the most anticipated games so far this year. It is a hybrid between Animal Crossing, Pokemon and Harvest Moon. These are games we all love and adore, comfort games we can turn to whenever we need a lift. Ooblets is aiming to become one of those games – you can play for years and still discover something new every time you return to the world.

Rebecca the developer behind Ooblets describes the game as ” Ever wanted a game that lets you collect cute creatures, manage a farm, and explore? Well you’re in luck buster, because that’s what I’m making! “. Not only can you farm, explore, and decorate your very own home, but you can also grow tiny little Ooblets, creatures to collect and love.

As the game is not going to be released anytime soon, we will just have to cozy up and enjoy following the development process of the game. The developers have recently announced that new characters have been added to the game. These are NPCs you can interact with. You may find them hiking in the beautiful countryside of Badgetown, the main city in the world of Ooblets.

The developers have also made great progress on the interiors. Badgetown is a booming city. Here you will find cafes, Shops, homes and more. The new Frunbuns clubhouse ( see below ) has recently been added to the game.

Some minor things like sprinting have also been added to Ooblets as well. The need to sprint hints at a rather large map of the game. The developers have stated that sprinting might be replaced by something more fun ” We’re hoping to expand on the idea a bit and maybe replace boring old sprinting with something more fun like rollerskating or skipping (or both!). “

The next steps the developers are working on is to integrate a new starter home. Similar to Animal Crossing you will start out with a tiny house, that with hard work and sweat can be upgraded to an actual home. Furthermore, the main city is undergoing constructions as Rebecca the developer behind Ooblets explains,  “ Badgetown is going to go under a major rejuvenation project adding all sorts of new buildings like a real estate agency, furniture shop, salon, and more! “.  Rebecca also points out that they are currently working on adding the option to have multiple save games at the same time. She claims this will be especially useful in designing the ever-elusive shopkeeping gameplay.

Ooblets is currently set to release on PC and Xbox One. A specific release date has not been announced yet. Check back for more updates on Ooblets coming very soon!
