While you wait for a release date announcement, have a gander at Nivalis' opening moments [lifesim/management from the creators of Cloudpunk and set in the same world]

It’s more of a sneak peak, but an enticing one all the same.

Cloudpunk was a really fun game in an interesting world. Pretty large, too. I’ve had Nivalis on my wishlist for quite some time and was worried it wouldn’t make it past the concept because it was so ambitious looking. I’m glad it’s still progressing! I’m looking forward to it.
I really enjoyed the world building in Cloudpunk!
I am assuming Cloudpunk performed above their expectations and they are using this money to try and build out Nivalis. I do agree that fully interactive lifesim open world (with greatly improved graphics, I personally prefer the blocky voxel style of Cloudpunk) is a massive undertaking.
If they pull it off, I will speculate they’ll have runway success.
I loved Cloudpunk and its world. I would often just spend the time exploring different neighbourhoods and checking out the architecture and design (didn’t finish the DLC though because of the mandatory racing parts).
I am really looking forward to Navalis. The lifesim/management game spin on the world of Cloudpunk is perfect!
