[h2]Our Commitment to Conservation[/h2]
From the very beginning of development, we've wanted Terra Nil to have a real world impact. After much searching, we found the perfect people to make this happen, the Endangered Wildlife Trust.

They are a conservation organization devoted to a wide variety of efforts across 21 countries. These range from endangered animal protection, to habitat restoration, to green energy and even local community initiatives in our home of South Africa and beyond.

We will donate a portion of our profits from Terra Nil on Steam to the Endangered Wildlife Trust in support of their efforts to preserve and restore ecosystems on this planet that we share with so many other species.


[h2]Pre-order for a free Deluxe upgrade[/h2]
If you’d like to join us on this campaign for environmental conservation, you can pre-order Terra Nil now. Doing so will get you a free upgrade to the Deluxe Edition which includes the soothing original soundtrack by Meydän and a beautifully illustrated Digital Artbook.

The Digital Artbook shows works-in-progress, concept thumbnails of buildings, close ups of some of the game’s hand-painted textures, and the different directions that the art took before resulting in what ended up in the game.



We can’t wait to share Terra Nil with all of you. Whether you were there for early prototypes on itch or if you’re hearing about the game for the first time, thank you for being a part of this journey.

After all of this work, being able to contribute to the Endangered Wildlife Trust feels Terra Nil has reached its original purpose - helping put the environment in the spotlight, both in-game and in the real world.

Terra Nil is terraforming sim, in which you land on a barren wasteland, construct machines for restoring it to a lush, green wilderness, and then pack up your toys and leave. It's one of the games I'm most looking forward to in 2023, and its latest trailer just cements that. It's three-minutes-long, has no music, and simply lets you revel in the "satisfaction in reclamation".

We love the way this turned out - A completely restored former quarry level.

The Terra Nil team were excited to showcase some gameplay at Day Of The Devs this year.

Hi all,

So first things first, we're happy to announce that Terra Nil will be releasing on Steam in early 2023. We will have a more specific release date closer to release time.

With that out of the way, let's move on to our final region update :P

The city region pictured above is the final and most challenging region of reclamation. Instead of starting from an empty wasteland, you'll be beginning from a flooded former metropolis.

Dredge up earth to create land on which to grow your plants. Move vast quantities of dirt with your monorail networks. Recycle skyscrapers and use their frames as bamboo nurseries. But be careful of the radioactive waste stored in bunkers around the map. You wouldn't want to cause an earthquake which made it spill ... would you?

We have stunning sunflowers, beautiful bamboo, luscious lagoons, and more in this region. With eagles, pandas, and peacocks being just a few of the animals you'll see. And when you're done here, instead of loading your recycled materials onto an airship to leave the area, you're creating a recycled rocket to leave the planet in pristine wildness.

We know you're all excited to try the game and we're excited for you to try it. Next year's going to be amazing!
