Ikonei Island features a contribution from YouTube sensation hurdy-gurdy player, Patty Gurdy!

Snowcastle Games has been collaborating with Patty Gurdy to create the Piratehog Chant! Her new song set on Ikonei Island is now out on YouTube and all popular music streaming sites. This partnership has been long in the works, and we are very excited to finally share it with you!

"Working with Snowcastle has been an exciting step in my career. As a musician, it is an honour that I get the chance to work with different media such as video games because it teaches yet another layer of the power of music. Snowcastle is a team of hard-working and kind people that taught me a lot about the unique aspects of this medium. I could not have had a more welcoming start into the world of games." - Patty Gurdy

Patty plays as the talented Piratehog Captain in Ikonei Island - Captain Rustbristle. You may encounter her chant among different pirate camps across the island, and if you want to listen to the full song in game, check the credits.

Now you’ll be able to hear the full song of the piratehog captain which keeps her crews so engaged in their dance.

We are happy to announce our new, upcoming game Ikonei Island: An Earthlock Adventure! Ikonei Island will be an early access game coming soon to PC, and eventually make its way to consoles.

You can wishlist Ikonei Island: An Earthlock Adventure on Steam now!

Taking inspiration from titles like Animal Crossing and Stardew Valley, Ikonei Island: An Earthlock Adventure offers a unique take on the genre, adding to compelling resource gathering and crafting systems with perilous pirate camps, the ability to enlist the unique talents of the island’s wildlife to help you out and many more exciting additions to be announced as we lay out the roadmap for Ikonei Island’s early access journey.

Ikonei Island: An Earthlock Adventure builds on the success of the Earthlock RPGs, taking the rich world-building and magical setting of the franchise into new territory. Set on a deserted island, the game tasks players with exploring its diverse and intriguing landscape as they collect resources for crafting and befriend wildlife to employ their unique abilities to progress to new areas of the island.

You will discover ancient ruins from a bygone civilization, deal with treasure-hungry pirates, and unlock a host of different biomes, ranging from icy mountains and parched deserts, to dense jungles and humid swamps, as you uncover the secrets the island has to offer.

You will also have the opportunity to make the island your own. An upgradable hamlet serves as a base of operations and unique placeable items allow you to customize the island to your liking!
There’s a lot more to learn about the game’s intriguing environments and expansive web of gameplay systems. Your feedback will be vital in informing the tweaks and additions made to the game during its time in early access, so you are encouraged to join our Discord and get involved in helping to shape Ikonei Island.

Hello from Umbra and our Snowcastle team!

We have been awfully quiet about Earthlock 2, and we are sure you are wondering what is happening. 👀
Rest assured, Earthlock 2 is coming!

But before we update you on Earthlock 2, we want to tell you about our studio and what we have been up to.

First, we want to thank you for your continued support! Our fans keep messaging and tweeting us about our games and asking about our team - it means the world to us!

What has Snowcastle Games been up to last year?

We have some bad news and some good news. The bad news is that, unfortunately, Earthlock 2 is delayed and will not be released this year. Don’t worry, we are still working on it! Since we began the game, our team has doubled and we have had to come to grips with switching from Unity to Unreal. This has been a huge undertaking, and we realized that we needed to rethink how we work.

The good news is that the changes we’ve made internally have been a huge success! Earthlock 2 is an ambitious project. We know you have high hopes for it and so do we. Now we are confident that we’re on the right road to meeting those expectations.

There is, however, one last thing: beside Earthlock 2, we have been working on something that you are going to hear about very soon! 🤩 It is a completely new project and we can’t wait to show it!

We hope you continue to support us, and promise to share updates a lot more frequently in the future, both about Earthlock 2 and our secret new project!
