changed❌ Solarpunk is not for you if youExpect PvP/PvE or competitive multiplayer There is no PvP, PvE, no raids, no base attacks, and no competitive survival gameplay. Want a story driven game Solarpunk has no story campaign and no narrative quest progression. Expect a huge open world with endless exploration The game has a limited set of handcrafted islands and two biomes, but is not built around endless world discovery.

changed❌ Solarpunk is not for you if youWant hundreds of hours before reaching the sandbox The main progression can be completed in around 20 hours. However, many players still spend dozens of hours building their home base. Want dedicated multiplayer servers or crossplay There are no public servers. One player hosts the game. There is no crossplay atm. Expect combat, deep character creation, or AAA scale systems The character editor is simple, and the game is not trying to match large studio survival games in scope.

it is finally happening. After more than four years of development, Solarpunk is now released. Writing this still feels unreal.

This journey has been wild, exhausting, beautiful, stressful, and sometimes honestly terrifying. There were moments where we were close to the end. Moments where burnout felt very real. Moments where we were not sure if we could actually finish this game.

But there were also so many good moments. From the very beginning, this community supported us, encouraged us, gave us feedback, shared the game, wishlisted it, talked about it, and helped us believe that Solarpunk could become something special.

Solarpunk was mainly developed by two people over the last four years. It is a personal, peaceful survival craft game made with a lot of love, a lot of work, and sometimes probably too much coffee. We hope you enjoy it for what it is.

Before you play

Since so many people are discovering Solarpunk right now, we want to make sure you know what kind of game this is before jumping in.

Solarpunk is a calm, cozy survival craft game. It is about building, farming, exploring floating islands, using renewable energy, automating parts of your island life, decorating your home, and playing at your own pace. It is not a combat focused game. It is not designed to be stressful. It is not trying to overwhelm you

✅ Solarpunk is for you if you

Want a relaxed game without pressure A calm survival craft experience focused on peace, creativity, and slow progression. Enjoy building and decorating a cozy home base Housing, decoration, farming, and making your island feel like home are a big part of the game. Like farming, crafting, and improving your base The core loop is about gathering, crafting, farming, upgrading, and expanding. Want to play alone or relaxed with friends Solarpunk is made for solo play and small group cooperative play. Enjoy handcrafted islands and light exploration The world is handcrafted, not randomly generated. Exploration supports the sandbox and is intentionally light for a relaxing experience. Like sandbox goals after the main progression After around 20 hours, most of the main content is explored and the game then switches the focus to your home base, farm, decoration, and personal goals. Appreciate indie games Solarpunk is made by a very small core team and is designed as a focused, cozy experience.

❌ Solarpunk is not for you if you
