Game Rant spoke to lead artist Jonathan Hau-Yoon, who first contributed art to the game's itch.io prototype alongside Jarred Lunt, about Terra Nil's anticipation and expansion to mobile devices ahead of its spring release. That encouraged Alfred to keep working on it after hours while helping produce updates for Free Lives' Broforce, and now Terra Nil is one of the studio's four in-progress titles alongside Broforce Forever, Anger Foot, and Stick it to the Stickman. Terra Nil began life as South African developer Sam Alfred's game jam project for Ludum Dare 45 in October 2019, where the theme was "Start with Nothing." It received 4th place overall, with particular praise (and a 1st place standing) paid toward its pixel art graphics. Today, Free Lives and publisher Devolver Digital dropped a new gameplay trailer for Terra Nil confirming it will release in spring 2023 on PC and mobile through Netflix Games. Though it wasn't involved in the February 2023 event, this "reverse city builder" is still the 31st most-wishlisted game on Steam (sorted by "Relevance") as of this writing. News publications and social media personalities compile lists of their favorite demos, and one darling of the last few years has been Free Lives' Terra Nil. Steam Next Fest has become an opportunity for developers of all stripes to post demos and host livestreams to connect with prospective players.
