Elsewhere

Elsewhere is an epic open-world procedurally generated game focused on exploration gathering and processing resources and completing technological and magical quests as you build the base of your dreams It s inspired by old-school Minecraft modpacks and features many new and unique features such as character creation building templates and monster-filled castles
Hi everyone My name is Sergio and Elsewhere is a game I ve been developing since2012 Since late2018 I ve been working on it nearly full-time All code for the game is done by me while the art assets are either done by me or by my more talented artist friends
In Elsewhere players can explore the world fight monsters and collect loot or gather and process resources while gradually advancing from simple tools and medieval technology all the way to fusion power and particle accelerators
The game also features magic alchemy ancient ruins and temples and vast procedurally generated castles and dungeons filled with bosses to discover and conquer
Players are guided by a quest system though it doesn t need to be followed linearly or even at all Building a fully automated Jaffa Factory for example or more precisely a Chocolate Cookie Factory can be a real challenge with countless elements to consider and many resources to automate and process
Elsewhere features a large procedurally generated and fully interactive world with dozens of unique biomes Players can place and remove blocks build castles and machines gather and process resources farm and cook food explore ancient ruins and temples fight monsters avoid traps collect loot and much more The game includes over7500 blocks more than6000 recipes and upwards of300 quests
The game includes pre-built bases and building templates a wide variety of decorative blocks and items including arcade machines with mini-games along with character creation pre-made skins and many other unique elements
Planned future features include NPC interactions story elements expanded modding support and much more see below
Please note that while Elsewhere already includes most of its intended mechanics it is still a work in progress It s also a very large game that takes time to fully explore and unravel
The game features plenty of jokes and references and there s even a free-to-play modification called YogLabs Testing Initiative inspired by the YogLabs series All Yogscast-related content is included with permission
Elsewhere is built on a desire to recreate the joyful nostalgia and spirit of classic Minecraft modpacks This game wouldn t exist without the creativity of the hundreds of mods that inspired it so I want to say a particular thanks to the modding community for their brilliance and dedication
