Hi everyone!
We hope everyone is doing alright. We are trying to stay home as much as we can and it's influencing the way we work. As a result we at least won't be able to make videos for a while,
but we'll keep making games as long as we can!
We want to thank everyone that keeps supporting us, even in these strange times. We can't express how much we appreciate you! Stay safe!
"The new game is called "Yardlings". It is a local multiplayer battle arena! I realize that a local multiplayer game might not be the most desirable type of game when everyone is avoiding being together. I already started making it before the pandemic really started. So let's hope we can come together soon and play it with our friends and families!
Also, to overcome this issue I created an AI you can play against. There's even a little campaign!
The game is inspired by the -warriors series, such as dynasty warriors. It always seemed fun to me in a local multiplayer setting to be a leader of an army where you have to strategically place yourself on the battlefield.
However, in Yardlings, even though you play as a strong hero (e.g. tomato or eggplant), you're only stronger than maybe 3 small mushrooms, so the goal is really to rally a big following and lead them into victory!

Hi there, Greetings from your Chinese fans. I wanted to reach out to you as a big fan of Yardlings and Stacklands, and also as a game designer for League of Legends. I discovered Yardlings in 2020 from a popular video made by a Chinese YouTuber that has been viewed over 600,000 times. Although Patreon is not widely used in China, your game has gained quite a reputation, and we mostly support Sokpop on Steam. I just wanted to take a moment to express my appreciation for Yardlings - it's an incredible game! Other collegues in LOL team and I have played over two hundred matches in the past two years, and it has brought us so much joy. Thank you very much for your hard work! I'm currently learning about AI navigation, target searching, and attacking logic for RTS games, and I find the monsters in Yardlings to be excellent examples. I was wondering if there's any way for me to obtain Yardlings' source code. I've found that I can only access the source code for the two latest games, and not for a previous game even if I'm willing to pay extra. Thank you again for all that you do, and I'm eagerly looking forward to hearing from you! Here is the link of the populer playtest video on Chinese YouTube.https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1zT4y1E7Se/?spm_id_from=333.337.search-card.all.click&vd_source=38a0e2b5606436e8bf7847e3a9e35be9
Finally got around to playing this one. Perfect Sokpop game: quirky, playful, and the campaign mode is a really nice touch. See y'all in the stream today, and congrats on the 5k.
