We want to thank all of our Topians, new and old, for an incredible Steam Next Fest! As a team of only five, we have been overwhelmed with how positive the reception has been and want to share a few results from the sandbox demo.
Before we do, there were so many incredible quotes from new players, but here's just a few:
"Absolutely blown away! There were so many "no waaaaay moments"
"It takes a special game that makes a person when they wake up want to jump on and play right away."
"This game has huge potential to put a shadow on all similar games in that genre. The devs of Hometopia have created an incredible game so far!"
"This is the most fun I have had in a game in a long time."
"I haven't sat down and played anything for this long."
"It combines all the features that so many people wanted to see in one game. The potential of Hometopia is massive and I am sure it will become a huge success in the genre!"
"Omg sold. I'm sold on this game now"
"I'm actually shaking with excitement"
"Utterly blown away by my first play on stream tonight! It has such an enormous future! Anyone who loves the building part of Sims and the decorating parts of House Flipper is gonna fall in love with this like I did!"
In less than a week, the Hometopia demo had:
- Over 1,200 days worth (or 28,000 total hours) of time spent playing the demo
- Hundreds of multiplayer concurrent players building simultaneously online
- 200,000 unique individuals tuning into our livestream
- In the Top 10 Trending on the front page throughout the entire Next Fest
- So many incredible designs shared!
The demo focused only on one of our modes - free build sandbox (single player and multiplayer) - and we're excited to share our full Career mode soon as players will be able to fully renovate rundown homes across five unique neighborhoods and flip them for a profit while unlocking items.
We're hugely excited to launch Hometopia in January and we're one step closer to being Your Home in the Metaverse😄

P.S. That 'See You Soon' cover image was a lovely gift from one of our new players to conclude the demo showcase!
