Devlog #2 - HavenCraft, Funding Grant, Playtest

Posted by Ponzel on 2025-06-11

Hello everyone!

We can finally share details about our third game!

HavenCraft - A Third Person Sandbox Settlement Builder

First of all, as you can gather from the website, our new game is called HavenCraft.

An alchemy accident has devastated the mainland. You need to rebuild and create a safe haven for the survivors. One might even say… craft a safe haven :D

To learn about the details of the game, I’d like to invite you to check out the descriptions on the homepage and the FAQ, they should cover the basics!

Funding Grant

A big piece of news for us is that HavenCraft is supported by a grant from the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action. This will allow us to spend more time and effort on developing the game, so we’re planning to use this opportunity to the fullest.

The grant is part of an effort from the German government to grow the local games industry. You might have come across these grants in other recent German games, like Enshrouded, Shapez 2, or Anno 117.

Forum, Subreddit, Discord

Starting today, the Forum and the Subreddit for HavenCraft are open, as well as the #havencraft channel on Discord.

The Forum got a fresh coat of paint to match the website and the in-game UI. We hope you like it, but if you don’t, as a forum user you can always switch themes in your settings. We’re planning to use the forum as our main bug-tracking tool once the playtest opens, it’s a little easier to keep an overview than discord.

Playtest on July 8th

With that said, it’s time to get going!

Like with our previous games, during early development, HavenCraft will be free for anyone to download and play. We want to make it a great game and getting player feedback early is part of that. Later, the released version will be available for purchase like most other games.

Download links will be distributed through our newsletter, so if you’re interested in playing or receiving updates, you can sign up in the same spot.

Until then, we will use the time to get the game ready for a first (early!) public version and also share some more details about the game and its development here.

You can expect to see another post here next week!
