Double Fine Productions and independent developer Glumberland have announced a PC and console release for Ooblets.
The self-described “Harvest Moon meets Pokémon meets Animal Crossing” game will launch for PC and Xbox One sometime in 2018.
Featured above, you can view a new trailer for the upcoming hybrid game.
Here’s a rundown on the game, via Glumberland:
Ooblets is a currently-in-development creature collection and farming game. It’s sort of like Harvest Moon meets Pokémon meets Animal Crossing meets the weird awkward people we are.
Plant, water, and harvest crops, manage and expand your farm, collect all sorts of junk, make friends, and also make littler friends (ooblets).
Use the crops you grow to befriend, upgrade, and heal ooblets. Buy a little shop and sell your excess crops and junk to the townspeople.
Explore regions like the Mamoonia desert, the spooky Nullwhere, bustling Hubton, and more! Discover loads of ooblets and battle other trainers all over the place.
Key Features
- Live a simple life working the land (and battling magical creatures).
- You get a little house you can decorate and expand.
- Play at your own pace. Leave the stresses of city living behind you.
- Take part in a bustling little town full of characters.
- Open world exploring.
- Visit a variety of regions (one will be under water I think!).
- Automate production with things like sprinklers.
- Run a shop!
- Upgrade your dudes because I guess they’re not good enough for you.
- Maybe you will get to name your dudes too?
- Join an Ooblet club. Feel wanted and appreciated. Distrust other clubs’ members.

February 22, 2017 at 4:11 pmDouble Fine? You guys just love adding fuels to the fire, huh?
Anyway, character designs scream tumblr (and Adventure Time?), and there’s a lot of female teenagers. Eh.

February 22, 2017 at 6:15 pmThe game isn’t coming to PS4. You guys need to change the title. The game looks like dissapointment incarnate, but someone might be interested.

February 22, 2017 at 6:43 pmThe description makes it sound fun, but it looks a bit weird in the aesthetic department. I’ll just keep a mental note of this game.

February 22, 2017 at 7:00 pmi like the concept, but the art style looks too much like a Tumblr fanart of adventure time
Gaspar
February 22, 2017 at 7:46 pmI like the idea on paper, but the tone and artstyle might get old a bit fast.
I’ll keep an eye on it!

“Doublefine”
“Indie”
Big money on it being at most 30mins to finish this pretentious sounding shit.

February 22, 2017 at 9:38 pmThis looks like the game tumblr’s always dreamed of. If they have a demo i’d give it a shot, otherwise this will be a total pass for me. Not just because of the art style, but knowing Double Fine involved means this game will probably be either A) Awful or B) Mediocre & Uninspired. They haven’t made anything GOOD since the original Psychonauts. They’ve had only “meh” and worse since then.

February 23, 2017 at 11:36 amThe game looks nice, in terms of both gameplay and aesthetic, but those animations look horrid. All those characters look like they were mocap’d using Kinect.
And of course,

February 25, 2017 at 11:10 pmWhen a game tries to be advertised with the line “X game meets Y game”, it shows the lack of originality and quality it has that ends up to use other companies’ IPs to advertise theirs.
