Welcome to Tend, where you’ll play as an interstellar pioneer sponsored by Zenith Corp. Your mission: build a thriving homestead on an uncharted world, filling your cargo with valuable goods to advance Zenith Corp's research.
Tend comes to Kickstarter on October 29th. Follow the page to make sure you don't forget!
FOLLOW THE KICKSTARTERFrom the team who brought you Moonrakers, Fractured Sky, and Veiled Fate, IV Studio returns with their coziest game yet. Tend to your crops and animals, explore the mines and woods, or kick back cast your line into the pond and see what bites. It's everything you want in the classic farming-an-alien-planet genre.
You may have heard of a roll and write. This is not that. This is a FLIP and write! Well technically it's a flip-and-scratch-and-roll-and tick-and-stamp-and-write... but that's too long to put on the box.
We'll only text you if it's super urgent. Or if we have something reeeeeally cool to tell you. Like "we love you, and you're doing great."
Victory is achieved at the benevolence of Zenith, by bestowing their most productive farmers with Zenith Points. Earn your points by going fishing, mining the mines, cultivating the forests, collecting badges and medals, completing season objectives, being the friendliest neighbor, and filling up your Cargo Manifest with valuable goods.
Each turn you'll pick two of the five face up task cards. Tend pioneers will then work simultaneously on their farms.
The first of the task types is tending (hey that's the name of the game!). Till the soil, plant a crop, water your seedlings, and watch them flourish. Each crop is represented by a dice, ticking up each turn. What will you grow on this alien planet?
That's right... this game has scratch offs! Start at the top and scratch your way to the bottom. What will you uncover?
IV Studio has an official new policy: all games should have fishing. We're sorry we've failed you up until this point.
Roll the dice to catch fish in the pond, or unlock one of the other 3 fishing locations for the rarest of catches. Will you catch 'em all?
More scratching! But not sniffing. We couldn't quite find the right "mining" scent.
Will you discover the secret treasures of this alien underground mine?
Collect resources to unlock badges like farming, iron, fishing, and generalist. Each badge earns you Zenith points as a reward for your expertise. The more resources you gather, the more Zenith appreciates your contributions to their research!
Once you've gathered enough resources, it's time to start loading them into your cargo manifest. Each filled square awards Zenith points! The Zenith Corporation appreciates your ongoing efforts to further their important research of this mysterious new world.
