You know, there is Enormous Elk - an indie production team founded by Sami Maaranen (
UnReal World creator) and Erkka Lehmus (
UnReal World co-designer).
Then, there is UnReal World - by Enormous Elk.
And now there is also
Ancient Savo by Enormous Elk, as Erkka's side-project game has reached its public beta release.
Ancient SavoAncient Savo is an open-ended resource-management game, with no combat elements.
Cold, hunger and accidents are your only enemy.
Both 2D and 3D graphics, you can freely switch between them.
Play as a settler family in 1200CE Eastern Finland, in a region called Savo.
Build your home in pristine woodlands.
Live off the land, raise a family, send your adult offspring to start homesteads of their own.
Ancient Savo is released and available here at Itch.Io:

https://youtu.be/1m18A9_RKswAncient Savo draws a good deal of inspiration from the same pool as UnReal World - the roots, cultural history and ways of life of the ancient Finns.
It is a different game independently continuing on its own path - as does the UnReal World.
However, familiriaties, similarities and overlapping ideas within these two may supplement
one's gaming experience in these two titles.
