Trailmakers Pioneers: From Sandbox to Survival

Revolutionizing the Sandbox Vehicle Building Experience with Trailmakers

Trailmakers has always been dedicated to providing players with the ultimate sandbox vehicle building game experience. With a passionate community of builders, we have spent nearly a decade creating a successful game that empowers players to unleash their creativity without limitations or restrictions. However, we wanted to expand the reach of our game and introduce it to a wider audience beyond traditional sandbox gamers.

Introducing Trailmakers 2.0 – Pioneers, our latest endeavor to make the game accessible to a broader audience, including mainstream gamers who enjoy titles like Minecraft, Legend of Zelda, and Valheim. Pioneers features a brand new, free campaign where players must rescue the Froggits from the invading Botnak robot force on the planet Gregory.

Enhanced Gameplay Experience in Trailmakers 2.0 – Pioneers

The new update introduces resource gathering, block crafting, and improved PvE combat elements that elevate the game’s storytelling and gameplay to new heights. With a 20-hour-plus campaign, players will embark on an epic journey like never before in Trailmakers.

Merging Trailmakers with Survival Genre

To appeal to a wider audience, we merged Trailmakers with elements from the survival genre. This required extensive prototyping and experimentation to integrate features like resource gathering, block crafting, and a fuel mechanic seamlessly into the game. The result is a more engaging and immersive experience for both new and existing players.
