Indie studio Netspeak Games will release a PC version of their village life simulation game, Sunshine Days. The PC release will feature a new "Creator Mode" that allows players to make their own content for Sunshine Days. This content will be available to mobile players through the Netspeak publishing platform. The game is now available for wishlisting on Steam.
With the addition of Creator Mode, players gain the tools to channel their inner builders and express their creative prowess. As newcomers to Sunshine Valley, a blossoming and serene community, players receive a plot of land as their canvas to design and shape their dream homes. This PC edition offers extensive customization options, allowing players to build, furnish, and artfully mirror their personalities.
Netspeak Games was founded in 2019 by Callum Cooper-Brighting (CEO), Dominic Green (CTO), and Peter Griffin (Design Director). They are veterans of Improbable. Their core values are collaboration, inclusivity, and ambition, and they foster an environment that celebrates and explores differences. The studio has a team of 50 people and is still growing. They have hired skilled workers from major companies such as Electronic Arts, Zynga, PlayStation, and Rockstar.
In 2022, Netspeak secured a $12 million Series A investment from Lakestar, Project A, and Makers Fund. Industry heavyweights such as Hilmar Veigar Pétursson (CCP), Phil Mansel (Jagex), and Catherine Chew (Kepler Interactive) also provided additional support.
Netspeak aims to build wholesome social games and kinder online worlds. Their debut title, Sunshine Days, initially launched on iOS and Android in 2022 as an Early Access title. The game gathered a predominantly female audience and amassed over 1.5 million installs.
At Netspeak, we aim to serve our players by creating immersive, accessible, inclusive worlds that promote kindness and collaboration. The new Sunshine Days PC version includes a suite of new tools which turn players into creators. Armed to their creative teeth, players will now be able to design their own unique islands and immersive gameplay experiences in the Sunshine Days universe. These creations can be shared across the global Sunshine Days community via the Netspeak publishing platform.
Our creative strategy is built on diversity of thought and an openness to different ways of seeing the world, which is why we believe in giving players the tools to make the world of Sunshine Days their own. Our vision for Sunshine Days is that it is a safe, cozy corner of the internet, where players can form meaningful relationships and build a world together. Today's announcement of the new creator tools in our early access PC launch, is a natural next step in empowering our diverse community and giving them space to let their imaginations run wild.
