About the Game:

Snow317 is a 8-bit based incremental survival game running on a purely customized gaming engine with tens of thousands of hours of gameplay to discover, procedural exploration that is different for everyone, and pixel-perfect charm. Designed for players who love retro visuals but crave modern idle mechanics, it blends the best of both worlds.

You’ll gather wood, mine ores, craft tools, fight monsters & if you die, just reload and repeat! Earn free ability's to automate your entire survival loop — all with the nostalgic punch of classic 8-bit games.

Whether you're online or offline, your world grows and evolves. You return to a deeper experience every time you log back in.

Key Features:

Incremental Progression: Build your way from primitive survival to automated mastery.

Idle + Active Gameplay: Whether you're hands-on or AFK, your world keeps growing.

Crafting System: 100+ items, tools, upgrades, and automation systems.

Procedural World: Every new game feels fresh — new maps, new layouts, new challenges.

Retro Pixel Style: Hand-drawn 8-bit artwork for that nostalgic, authentic indie feel.

Base Building: Lay down structures, fortify them, and build your dream camp.

Solo Dev Project: Created by a passionate dev with a long background in RSPS and survival systems.

Gameplay Loop Example:

1. Skill up to kill better monsters

2. If you die simply restart incrementually 

3. Cook food, build shelter, upgrade tools

4. Trade with others in this open world

5. Automate resource gathering with AOE weapons

6. Unlock new tiered armor, explore further than ever

7. Leave the game, come back stronger

Inspirations:

A mix of Melvor Idle, Terraria, Minecraft, Forager, and that classic Runescape grind we all know and love — but fused with hardcore survival elements.

Solo Dev Statement:

> "This game is my tribute to the grind, the idle glory, and the old-school pixel vibes. I’ve been coding RSPS and sandbox games for years, and this is my personal passion project. Every pixel and line of code is custom — no engines, no templates. Just me, an idea, and the vision to see it grow."
