Prop Design - Watchtower

[h2]Hi sledders,
[/h2]

Just a little sneak peek at prop design for you, our valued supporters, for whom we are incredibly grateful.

Watchtower is on the way. Our goal is to maintain a nice balance and add carefully placed in-game content on the side while we develop the major features like snow physics, a new UI, and more, which we need to have for the Steam Early Access release.



Take care and keep on sledding!

About Sledders
Sledders have been in pre-alpha for 2023, and its active, 20,000-strong Discord community has most recently gone wild for the brand-new rider character which dropped along with the latest update. Now we are ready to bring game to more players as a form of a Steam demo.

About developer
Hanki Games is a Indie game studio based in Kuopio, eastern Finland, which was born out of the need of its founder’s snowmobiling hobby to be continued in summertime. The studio employs currently two people in addition to its founder, and hopes to grow with Sledders as a prominent Finnish development house.
