Open Land asks you to restore a wasteland into a living ecosystem by collecting trash, cultivating vegetation, and gradually reintroducing fauna. The game emphasizes patient, low-pressure progression where your efforts compound into increasingly complex habitats. Ideal for players seeking a calming experience centered on environmental stewardship rather than speed or competition.

I recently added gamepad support to the demo, which means you should already be able to play it on Steam Deck.If you have a Steamdeck, please let me know if you encounter any issues!You can join the Discord if you want to give me direct feedback here: https://discord.gg/Qy7neM9ggXThanks again! More news is coming soon :)-Ralph, Open Land Developer

Hi everyone,I just released a big update for the Open Land demo.This update adds several new features, improvements, and quality-of-life changes based on the direction I want to take the game next.Main additions:New robots and items to buildBot task list / queueHydro Bots that collect water and bring it to storageBot configuration optionsGamepad supportImproved animal AI (They now can get startled)More activity and movement in restored environmentsMac OS BuildIf you have a Steam Deck to test the Demo, I'd love some feedback on how well it runs on Steam Deck.The biggest change is that robots now have a larger role in the game. They are not just there to clean trash anymore. They can now help with resource collection too, which makes the restored world feel more alive and automated.Animals have also been improved, so they behave more naturally in the environment and react better to what is happening around them.This update is still part of the demo, so feedback is very helpful. If you try it, I’d love to hear what works, what feels confusing, and what you would like to see improved.Thanks for playing and following the development of Open Land.-Ralph, Open Land Developer
