Deformed mecha freely from sowing to excavation, architecture

The stage of Light Year Frontier is the lush planet at the end of the galaxy. In the vast nature, the player gets into a dedicated mechanism and works for agriculture.

Even though it is agricultural, this mechanism has a high performance, and it is equipped with drills for converting rocks and trees on the map into materials, vacuums for collecting materials, and watering hoses. I feel like I should leave the open world movement and farm work with this 1. Moreover, it supports the caterpillar movement and bipedal walking type, and it is a little exciting for the deformed mechanism.

The land can be used freely, but it is not an agricultural land, so it is necessary to pioneer everything from scratch, so players can play games with free designs, such as arranging soil, arranging fences and equipment, etc. It is. It will also support multiplayer online, and cooperative play with friends is likely to be exciting.

The graphics that change the time zone are very beautiful, and even if the unopened planet is the stage, the basic agricultural work such as sowing seeds and watering water. The UI was generally easy to understand, so I enjoyed it intuitively if I played a little.

The detailed work is a first-person perspective, and the movement is a device that allows you to work comfortably while switching from a third-person perspective, and it is a great attraction while being an agricultural simulator. I was looking forward to moving the vast map in the completed version.

At the venue, Wilmer Calumberg, a UX designer in the development studio Frame Break, also came to Japan, and when he heard the story, he said, Originally, two different games are created in the open world game and agricultural simulator. However, it became an interesting idea by combining it , and he told me the surprising story of this work.

Although it did not appear in this demo version, the product version plans to add elements other than agriculture, such as wild animals and random events that occur every season. In the future, he said, I would like to suck and improve the community opinion and improve it through exhibiting at the event and demonstration version.

In the setting of unknown planet, I want you to think about what if you get a completely new land in the era when nature destruction is a problem, a message about symbiosis with nature through the game. It is said that it is being. It is a nature that looks infinite even in this game, but there are gimmicks that make too much load, such as cutting too much trees, causing bad effects.

In the explanation of the contents of the game, there was one act in which Charumberg explained in Japanese as healing game . I can't wait for the days to enjoy a slow life with an agricultural simulator that is packed with commitment!
