Next Update and Introducing Let's Build a Dungeon

14 Aug

Hey everyone,

We’ve got some news to share with you about what we’ve been working on and our future plans for Let’s Build a Zoo. Starting with a big one…

Our next game is… Let’s Build a Dungeon!

Since the launch of Let’s Build a Zoo, our love for simulation games has only continued to grow and nothing makes us happier than seeing your zoos come to life. We’ve been exploring how to take that even further, and we’re excited to hand over more creative tools and freedom to you with our next game.

https://gtm.you1.cn/storesteam/app/2365790

This new instalment in the Let’s Build a… franchise provides a glimpse into our past 12 years of developing games as an indie developer, inviting you to run your very own game studio and create the fantasy world of your dreams. You can find out more about Let’s Build a Dungeon on the official Coming Soon Page above, and please consider adding us to your wishlist to stay up to date with the latest news.

Next up, we want to share a sneak peek at what we’ve been working on for the next Let’s Build a Zoo update. We’ve had our thinking caps on and the team are currently working on something that’s brimming with new character that we hope you’re going to love. We’ll have more news to share with you (if all goes well!) towards the end of the year, but for now we thought you’d like to see a sneak preview of what we’ve got planned.

There will be some smaller additions coming too, giving you more options for personalisation. But we can't say too much just yet, so watch this space... There might also be an easter egg or two in our new trailer for Let's Build a Dungeon, so keep your eyes peeled.

We’re really grateful for your ongoing support and we'll be back with more details to share soon. But for now, thanks for being here and please let us know if you have any questions!
