<p>The odds favored the creators of Solarpunk, an upcoming survival craft game from German indie studio <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/cyberwave/">Cyberwave</a>. The <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/cyberwave/solarpunk-survival-craft-game-in-world-of-floating-island">Kickstarter campaign for Solarpunk</a> has already reached its goal of pooling around $32,094 in funds, just hours after its launch. As of May 31, over 800 backers had pledged a total of $44,335 for the game's production. The campaign will end on June 30.</p>

<p>Cyberwave and publisher, <a href="https://www.rokaplay.com/">rokaplay</a>, targeted collecting $32,094 to continue developing Solarpunk. The new funds would also help them release the game in Early Access via Steam within the following year.</p>

<p><q>[It] allows players to get in on the ground floor of this unique futuristic <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/best/survival/" title="Best PC survival games">survival</a> experience,</q> they said.</p>

<p>Cyberwave, a two-member team based in Essen, Germany, announced their plans to do a Kickstarter last March. At that time, they also confirmed their partnership with rokaplay for Solarpunk.</p>

<p>Aside from the actual production of the game, the Kickstarter funds will be spent on marketing initiatives. These included creating a trailer and partnering with external collaborators.</p>

<p>Solarpunk is an open-world, survival craft. In it, players need to survive and thrive on airborne islands. Using their airships, they must explore and gather resources from other islands.</p>

<p><q>Solarpunk dreams about an optimistic future, where we can use renewable energy and build a home in a world of floating islands,</q> said Patrick de Rijk, co-founder at Cyberwave.</p>

<p>Executives at rokaplay also said they were impressed with the game's potential. <q>It's wondrous and majestic, yet retains a cozy innocence about it that's becoming increasingly rare in a futuristic setting,</q> said Adrian Kaiser, head of Communication at rokaplay. <q>Solarpunk is hopeful and harmonious, and it tickles an itch we've had to relax and be creative in this unique scenario,</q> he added.</p>

<p>The game features single-player and co-op modes. Developers planned on releasing an <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/early-access" title="List of all early access games">Early Access</a> version on Steam in 2024. Soon, they will also port the game to PlayStation, Xbox, and Switch consoles. </p>
